There is plenty of consumer research, idle ramblings and complete conjecture around what type of music suits a particular time of day. Psychologists have studied it, music lovers have discussed it, while companies have tried to make money off it. While driving around the highveld this week I started thinking on ...

This one was done by a (very talented) fan as a labor of love, with the band's blessing. Gorgeous and heartbreaking, just like the song.

Nearly a year ago, I was fortunate enough to interview Charles Bissell of (one of my favourite bands) The Wrens. Included in that Q&A was Kathryn Yu, the very determined woman who was, and is, making a documentary on the New Jersey band. Well, I was just visiting that film's production blog and was amazed to see that the 'Wrens Documentary Fund' was sitting at $83.... of a targeted $500.00! Now

Everyone's favorite indie rock band of thirty/forty-somethings from North Jersey have updated their website . Not exactly cutting edge, but so much better than before. Complete with the usual fare of news, tourdates and mp3s, the big addition for me was the inclusion of all of their videos (also available on YouTube ). Also of note, some folks are working on a Wrens' documentary , which could be interesting given that these guys work regular jobs and live together - not exactly the taudry tales one might find in say a Motley Crue [...]
Sorry about the lack of posts since the 4th of July. I've been entirely unmotivated to do anything besides work, watch t.v. and sleep the past couple of days. Your Friday theme mix hast turned into a Saturday theme mix, but it's here nonetheless. I'm sure you kids are going to scroll through your collections and find a whole bunch more songs about emotions, so list 'em if you want to. Rilo Kiley - Emotional Poe - Angry [...]
Thanks to Catbirdseat for leading me to the direction of the original/alternate versions of songs off of The Wrens - Meadowland s. Being one of my favorite bands I have discovered in the past 3 years and being one of my favorite albums of the past ten years, I can't recommend this album enough. And give it more than one listen, because it gets better with every play. Buy the final album here . Technorati Tags: The Wrens , rock , music
If you live in or around Brooklyn, NY (or can get there), you can catch what promises to be a fantastic show this Sunday, and help the victims of Hurricane Katrina all at the same time. From the They Might Be Giants' email: TMBG will be jumping up on stage for a short set with 8 other fine acts as part of a Katrina Benefit this Sunday, September 25th @ Southpaw in Park Slope in Brooklyn. You can do your part just by showing up for the good times. ALL proceeds will go to [...]
Charles Bissell / photo credit: Kathryn Yu The trials and tribulations of New Jersey indie rock machine, The Wrens , have taken on near mythic proportions in some circles. From being signed to one indie label and then 'leaving' to sign with another after the former became the type of outfit that followed a completely different ' Creed '; the men of The Wrens soon enough began recording. And recording, and then re-recording and again re-recording, [...]
