Back when I had built this into a well visited music blog, I put up mixes called sixpacks. This time out, I'm going with 'The Listening Post', which is a 1940's wartime idiom meaning 'a center for monitoring electronic communications (as of an enemy)' or ' a forward position set up to obtain early warning of enemy movement' or 'any position or location for obtaining secret information about an

James Bond has long been one of my favorite film heroes. Growing up I would watch and rewatch my favorite Bond films (mostly tapes on VHS from TBS "15 Days of 0073 marathons), and although the franchise's quality is pretty hit-or-miss, I'll always have a special place in my heart for the suave secret agent. The latest film Skyfall opens today, and I've been anticipating this one way more than usual due to amazing cast ( Javier Bardem is an amazing villain choice) and acclaimed director Sam Mendes , who previously helmed legitimately great films [...]
For the third installment in our lists about time, I'm taking it down a notch and focusing in on songs about the seconds, minutes, and hours that we could use to be productive if we weren't listening to songs about seconds, minutes, and hours. Time is a topic I've wanted to tackle [...]

In the June 2, 2012 issue of the NME , Kevin Shields said the long-awaited third album from My Bloody Valentine –- the first since 19912s classic Loveless –- is imminent. The UK mag quotes Shields as saying the album will be released "sooner rather than later," perhaps even this year. For more than two decades My Bloody Valentine has been one of the most influential, mysterious, important bands in music, mostly on the strength of Loveless . The new album has the potential to alter that legacy forever, [...]

Brainiac at The Lithuanian Club - April 19, 1995 (Photo compliments of Christian Spencer via Tim Krug) This week marks the 15-year anniversary of the passing of Brainiac's Timmy Taylor. The wildly original 3RA1N1AC were at the forefront of a creative swell that hit Dayton, OH in the 1990s. While the underdog city is no stranger to innovation (the airplane, the cash register, the starter motor, Zapp & Roger, The Ohio Players, etc. all being born in Dayton), it seemed to be a particularly imaginative time. Bands like The Breeders, Guided By Voices, Cage, Swearing [...]

Beginning a blog which gained instantaneous popularity at age fourteen and recently starting the online magazine Rookie are [...]
James Mercer and The Shins to release Port Of Morrow on March 20, their first album in six years. Now that we've had our first real viable candidate for arbitrary year-end lists, it's time to look at some other releases on the near horizon that hold that kind of potential. Since the world is supposed to end in May or something, we won't look beyond* that. Joining the excellent Cloud Nothings' Attack On Memory are anticipated releases from The Shins, Dirty Projectors, Sleigh Bells, Sharon [...]
The Wrens , who've been recording their Meadowlands follow-up (for real this time) for the past couple months (years?), took to facebook to unleash some gems such as "we’re finishing up a total of 21 songs" and "91:48 minutes of music (not a misprint)". Great news! Now it seems their question is whether to go M83 style and create a double-album opus, or milk that creative output for 2 different albums. Full post below: Some news on the record – with whether it’s good or bad depending on how comfortable your headphones [...]
New York’s Expensive Looks has teamed once again with Silver Wren to release the duo’s latest track “Hyperdrive.” Sampling from their previous collaborative track, “Me & You,” as well as chopped-up pieces from Natalie Imbruglia ’s “Torn,” the duo have created a new, hyper-dance track that does stray not too far from their roots in psych-pop and psych-folk. “It was fun to make,” said Silver Wren frontman Ross Campbell. “Definitely outside of what I usually work on.” As well as releasing the new track, Campbell stated that he will be completed [...]

Welcome to Monday Threesome , where we bring you three bands with a particular theme and direct you to their free music. This week, we have bedroom auteurs whose musical projects rose from the great tradition of musicians developing tracks on their own. These three bands, Happy Birthday (@happybirthdayz), Silver Wren and Duchess Leo (@duchessleo), may all be “bedroom pop”, but they approach this personal style in very different ways. We hope you enjoy! [...]
Sunsettes are a Tampa-based duo specializing in funk-tinged indie-rock. Comprised of Nathan Kozyra and Michael Schlein, Sunsettes quietly released their debut Coup de Grace last December. Their compositions are frequently led by acoustics and keys, with Kozyra assuming a vocal delivery incorporating both stream-of-conscious narratives and straightforward romantic metaphors. Although the instrumental arsenal is mainly [...]
Does anyone remember Mr Benn? Emerging from 52 Festive Road to embark on an adventure in his new guise. As I vaguely recall, many of the Mr Benn tales had a strong moral undertone. Everything always turned out well if Mr Benn was there, with his kind and reassuring avuncular manner. Good old Mr Benn. Old things, gold things. Just like friends. Saw some goldies but goodies this week. Friends that see you through the good times, the fat times and the nobody loves me times. R&J, Big Sare, Bingley D, Polly Pocket and Movie Mate, you are [...]
We recently introduced to all you EARMILK readers to Ross Campbell, a musician who hails from Gainesville, Fla., and is also the voice behind his ambient Silver Wren solo project. As stated in our interview with the young artist, Campbell said he plans on writing his upcoming debut album on the theme “that reflects on the feeling of ending summer and the beginning of the fall.” Although the album is currently under construction, Campbell recently released a two-track set, "Fall Sky" and "Winter's Hum," to reflect on the change in [...]
