God Help The Girl I'll not presume to speak for other Belle & Sebastian fans, but when word came out that Stuart Murdoch was putting the Scottish septet on hiatus to work on a film/stage/musical project, I couldn't help but be concerned. After all, hiatuses, solo projects and retrospective compilations - last year's BBC Sessions - don't usually augur well for the future of a band going forwards. The future of Belle & Sebastian aside, one can't help but look on the results of Murdoch's efforts, manifested [...]

Over the past couple of months, I've found myself watching an unhealthy amount of television in my spare time. Of course, during this span, a number of familiar songs have made their way onto quite a few commercials. The amount of times I would see each of these became so frequent that I decided to go ahead and make a list of some the more recent ones. As with the majority of these commercial posts, this is usually what makes me decide to compile one of these. These advertisements are still a fantastic a way for a song [...]
I've been a fan of Secretly Canadian artist Throw Me The Statue since first hearing their 2008 release, Moonbeans . It ended up being one of my favorite albums of last year, with "Lolita" also cracking our list of 50 favorite songs from last year. I am super excited for the follow up, Creaturesque , coming August 4th. In support of the new album, the band is hitting the road, including a stop at the Annex in Madison [...]
I don't know how it happened, but half the year officially is over! That means that we're half way to end of the year list time! I know that for a bunch of us, there are few things we love more than lists and mix tapes (I usually make a mix for friends of my year-end list favorites) -- so it makes sense we should do a mid-year check in and see what's topping our Best of 2009 list. Here's my off-the-cuff list of what albums would vying for Top 10 of 2009 in my book: [...]
Seattle, Washington's Throw Me the Statue is currently working on their second album, Creaturesque, available August 4 (Worldwide) and August 17 (UK), via Secretly Canadian. Originally the one-man project of multifaceted musician and songwriter Scott Reitherman, TMTS has since expanded to a quartet with drummer Jarred Grimes, and multi-instrumentalists Aaron Goldman and Charlie Smith. The album is produced by TMTS and Phil Ek (The Shins, Built To Spill, Band Of Horses), and while the band retains much of the lo-fi bliss found on their critically acclaimed debut Moonbeams, Phil Ek's mixing of Creaturesque brings the band's [...]

This summer, KEXP and Seattle Center extend their Mural concert series for 5 weekends through July and August. On the bill are an eclectic spread of bands ranging from Portland's 6 piece harmonious Blitzen Trapper (July 31) to the tight rhymes of Seattle's Dyme Def. (Aug 7) This year's series also incorporates the famed KEXP BBQ into the fold. A previously "private" event that I believe has gotten too big to fit in either the KEXP parking lot or Denny Park across the street. The show are mostly on Friday nights on the Mural lawn (aka Bumbershoots Blues [...]
