SXSW Day 2: No Leonard Cohen, the Hold Steady Stay Postive, Blind Pilot Soars

Imagine, if you will, the worst possible way to spend a day at SXSW, one that doesn't involve an emergency colonoscopy or a Marnie Stern showcase, and then imagine something even more tedious and desp...

Sasquatch Announces Line-Up; We're Pretty Impressed But Our Wallets Are Not

In the wake of the ever increasing pool of festivals and the possible merger between Live Nation and Ticketmaster, the idea of paying $200 to see live music during a recession resulted in our pockets slapping us back into reality. But to be fair, the Sasquatch Festival - presented by Live Nation and tickets sold by Ticketmaster - is one of the cheaper weekend-long festivals and the line-up could quite possibly be the best yet. Of course, this has left us all wondering at what point does the festival [...]

Patrick Wolf fights Battle on two fronts

Patrick Wolf fights Battle on two fronts Ingrid Z Those who sought to ride out the global recession by investing their money in Patrick Wolf should be pleased - the project has already yielded dividends! What had originally been intended to be a double album entitled Battle will now instead be two single-length albums entitled The Bachelor and The Conqueror . In an interview with Spinner , Wolf describes the differences between the two as follows - " The Bachelor [has themes of] loneliness, hedonism, depression and melancholy, the second album [...]

Damaged Goods

Marked Up - The Wrens I love the East Coast: broken down buildings, shattered windows, cracked voices. Lo-Fi architecture. These cities reek of a decaying history, a message only just barely getting through. Rough, but almost always intelligible. The crackling static on Charles Bissell's voice, the tape hiss; it all recalls a crooked stairwell, broken pavement - a facade half constructed and long abandoned. But the shape is still there: crisp cymbals, melody; the piano is mostly in tune. This coast has a [...]

An Introduction To The Depreciation Guild

An Introduction To The Depreciation Guild Katelyn Roof Much of the buzz surrounding next Thursday's show at Neutral is focusing on the evening's headliners, Brooklyn's The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart , and with good reason - their new self-titled album , out tomorrow, is wonderful and will be discussed soon enough. But it's a shame that all the attention is falling on them when their tourmates are just as noteworthy. That would be The Depreciation Guild , also from Brooklyn, and talking points around the band generally center around the fact that they're giving their debut album, [...]

New DM Stith Video - "Pity Dance" (Stereogum Premiere)

New DM Stith Video - "Pity Dance" (Stereogum Premiere) It's hard enough disposing of a body. Things get increasingly difficult when the thing your dragging down the staircase, through the city, and toward a pier is still living. This is what we get in the Ryan Jeffery-directed video for "Pity Dance," the first single from My Brightest Diamond collaborator and holiday cheer bringer DM Stith's forthcoming Asthmatic Kitty full-length Heavy Ghost . Jeffery has a background in installation art (he's repped by PDX Contemporary gallery) as well as music videos. You'll get that sense in the carefully paced narrative conceit and strange pathos that unfolds across [...]

Odds & Ends

I'm back from a short blogging absence there - I was helping the new roommate get moved in and situated. This is a friend I've known since I was 12, and we've pulled jackass stunts from time to time ever since. This should be an interesting ride. Anyway, back to some music: There's a new record on the way (Feb. 3) from the Heartless Bastards, a Dayton trio that I caught on their second record,
