The Bimmer is back! Yep, that's my beater baby, sitting pretty and lonely at around sunset on Friday night in the Skagit Valley College parking lot, where KSVR is located. A few vacuum leaks fixed and she's running much better. I'm now awaiting a new vacuum advance unit, on its way from Germany. Once in, it should be tip top. I decided to do something a little different on tonight's show. Rather than playing back-to-back songs by an artist, I instead selected an artist to highlight a few [...]
Last weekend I did something a bit taboo. No, nothing that bad. What I did was this: I took my email inbox, and I cleared it. I archived everything - over 15,000 unread messages. It had just gotten a bit too out of control. Then, this week, I checked ALL my emails, filtered out what I wanted to cover, and pulled some select ones to add to my radio show. Understand this: going through sometimes up to 100 emails in an evening is very time consuming. You have [...]
It's been quite some time since we've had the opportunity to listen in on the musical offerings and impressive lineup of Eindhoven, Netherlands-based label Subroutine Records, but now there is a new release from the very first artist to make us fall head over heels. The Sugarettes instantly became a favorite back in January 2007 when we highlighted their debut EP Sugarette City, then grew on us
Another week, another batch of lead singles from new albums, including highly anticipated albums from bands such as Alabama Shakes, Choir of Young Believers, M. Ward, and The Sugarettes, Sleepy Sun, and others. Compared to previous Best New Releases of 2012 weekly playlist posts, including last week's new albums and singles (Of Monsters and Men, [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
Desde Holanda, concretamente de la ciudad de Eindhoven llegan nuestros protagonistas de hoy, The Sugarettes , cuarteto formado en 2006 en torno a la atracción que Joep Van Soon e Iskaa sentían por el lo-fi, las guitarras algo "Ramonianas" y las melodías pegadizas, lo que les llevó a grabar un Ep que enviaron a un concurso a la prestigiosa Belgium Studio Brussel, y cuyo tema central, "Clap Hands" pasó directamente a formar parte del playlist diario de la emisora. (dicen que corrió esa suerte por que se olvidaron [...]

![[Introducing] – The Sugarettes](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4087148_lg.jpg)
Tweet Full disclosure: I was fooled into listening to The Sugarettes . Anyone that knows me (though I think I've gushed about it in writing a few times too) knows that the 602s are my favorite musical period thanks to the wonderful melodies (and harmonies, for that matter) that characterized pop music at the time. Girl groups are a particular highlight, and I've spent many hours singing along to The Crystals or The Ronettes . So [...]
Nikoo From: Eindhoven, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands I've never been a believer in synchronicity but receiving an email about Dutch noise poppers Nikoo on the day after the death of Big Star 's Alex Chilton is making me reconsider. It's not that they're carbon copies of Big Star or any of Chilton's other bands but their songs fuse Big Staresque harmonies with the noise drenched rock of The Jesus & Mary Chain [...]
" I saw you in the grocery store, you were looking like a porn star, sparkling through yeah ." The above lyrics is about how "very sexual" The Very Sexuals ' album Post-Apocalyptic Love gets. Because all in all it's actually a really cute record, filled with quirky indie-pop tunes suitable for the more alternative side of the mainstream. Formed by Joep van Son of The Sugarettes and Pien Feith of Neonbelle, The Very Sexuals also consist of Niels Philipsen, Cox Dieben, Rob Bours and sometimes Iskaa and Oscar Kocken. Branded merely as a "studio project", The Very Sexuals might [...]

One of the first artists we featured to kick off 2007 was an excellent indie rock quartet from the Netherlands [January 07 review + download]. The track posted then was part of a 4 song EP, Sugarette City, by a band that had us hoping they would follow through with their promise of a full length release by year's end. As our good fortune would have it, a brand new offering is
After arriving home from work and opening a beer yesterday evening, I was ready for my nightly search for new music. I had no plans and noticed a few new friend requests on our MML MySpace profile. Today's feature is the music of the first band I decided to investigate. It might have only taken the first 30 seconds of this song for me to jump on MSN and send the link to Michelle so
