Tuesday night was the big Stranded In Stereo event over at Great Scott in Boston, at which yours truly feigned being a club DJ (we prefer the term selector , since we don't beat match or possess a shiny shirt with zippers all over it). Below we recount for those of you not in attendance what exactly was blasted in your general direction via the sound system. But before we get to that we'd like to try to express how awesome we thought This Car Up was last night. We're relatively new to the Boston-based [...]

Cheers to the new year 2009 and another exciting event! Future Sounds and Stranded in Stereo are bringing the Rumble to the Boston area on January 27th at Great Scott (1222 Commonwealth Ave, Allston, MA). Our Rumble events present the best up-and-coming indie-rock artists who we think the world should know. This is your chance to catch them before they become huge. At 9 PM, Spectator, This Car Up, and Black Diamond Bay will start playing on stage. You and your friends better be there if you don't want to miss these great bands! [...]
Dany Sloan from ExitFare has asked us to DJ ahead of and between sets on Tuesday the 27th at his debut monthly The Rumble event at Great Scott , Boston, which we're pleased to do. You can expect to hear new sounds from Boston, Philly and the U.K., as well as a few classics, because we're the kind of blog that will force you to confront the greatness of things like Lemonheads ' "Year Of The Cat" or The Trouble With Sweeney 's "The Snitch." We don't plan on spinning actual vinyl, so we'll have [...]
Are we at the end of this year already? It's seems like just the other day I was working on my list of the best albums of 2007 -- any yet, here we are. As the year draws to a close, I'm happy to present you with one final article, the best albums of 2008. Although I don't think this year was as strong as it has been in the past for indie music, there were still a few stellar albums that saw release. What were your favorites? What are you upset that [...]
The range of styles I'm able to cover for the Stranded Q&A is definitely the best part of doing this piece every week. I went from hip-hop to soul, to Irish rockers, and now I'm happy to share with you all an indie folk rock band from Allston, This Car Up. This Car Up has been playing together since 2006, and in a relatively short amount of time, has caught the attention of press around New England. They're also slowly gaining some global attention, as the band is signed to a Japanese label (Moorworks), and has toured [...]
"Because you like Coldplay." OK, we kid, we kid. Kind of. Chris Martin gets a big chuckle out of the Filligar video. Coldplay takes a lot of heat for being such a harmless band (and that might be their biggest fault) but for all their wonk, it's pretty cool that they are allowing WFNX (alt-radio station here in Boston) choose their opening act . I mean, we could really *screw* them, right? Here are the bands up for the opening slot [...]
Today we present one of Boston, Massachusetts best kept secrets, This Car Up . Since our basketball team in LA is currently being spanked by Boston as I type this, I figured today was as good as any to pay tribute to the musical scene there... and what better way than to play some TCU? Recently, This Car Up recorded a new full length album at Silver Sonya Studios in Virginia, where Minor Threat, Fugazi and others have recorded in the past. T.J. Lipple of Aloha engineered on this new album entitled 'Smile When You're [...]
