I whip my hair back and forth. Not because I am a teenage girl (although I sometimes act like one) but because there is a party. No, it's not in my pants. This party is in my ears, and soon it will be in yours as well. I am pleased to present to you The Indie Sabbath - more refreshing than an ice-cold soda in the middle of the desert. For me, music is the purest form of communication this world has to offer. I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. [...]

Playlist: New Releases 07.12.11 Washed Out - Within and Without Stream / Purchase [mp3] When Washed Out, AKA Ernest Greene, released his EP Life of Leisure , it was quickly apparent there was a new figurehead for the so-called Chillwave scene, joining Neon Indian and Toro y Moi . The formula seems clear: [...]
You probably know if you saw last week's Best New Releases, that, at least compared to other weeks this year, the pickings were rather thin, and this week is just about the same. Atlanta musician Ernest Greene, better known in the indie rock/electro-pop/chillwave circles as Washed Out. Greene has risen fast in the past couple [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

Jason Trachtenburg | Knitting Factory | January 5, 2010 Though he will be playing a show with the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players on January 21 at the Knitting Factory, Jason Trachtenburg took to the same stage solo on Tuesday night as part of .357 Lover 's circus of a residency . There's always a lot of humor in his set (it's up for debate if this humor is intentional or not), and when he is solo, there's also a sort of simplistic beauty to his [...]
Well well well, Saturday was what I think can only be described as a truly epic party. It started at about two or three in the afternoon when Found came round to record their Toad Session, which sounded absolutely lovely, continued into the back garden for a barbecue, turned into the Honeytrap Toad Session, repaired once more to the garden for further gluttony, returned to the house once night had descended, then turned into some sort of deranged music/cavorting session until the early hours accompanied by some truly heroic feats of drinking. Quite how the whole house didn't [...]
Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players are exactly-what-it-says-on-the-ti n. Parents and daughter pop trio, who write and perform quirky pop songs to accompany old slide collections bought at garage sales, estate sales, and thrift stores. Their prime directive: to turn the lives of anonymous strangers into pop-rock musical exposés based on the contents of these slide collections. Anti-folk singer-songwriter Jason Trachtenburg (dad on guitar, piano, vocals), Tina Pina (mom on slides), and Rachel (daughter on drums, vocals) have won fans such as Regina Spektor, Meg White and comedian David Cross with their completely original self-described "indie-vaudeville-conceptual -art-rock-slideshow band". Check [...]
Maris considered the wear and tear on his car for a trip downtown to uptown to be negligible and said he would not be invoicing the company. Of course, I couldn't keep my smart ass mouth shut. "Ya, but the gas cost these days isn't negligible, it's... it's, um, downright, um, big?" I looked around and realized I was not the only confused one. "Hey, just what exactly is the opposite of negligible?" A-ha! A quest! Anyone within earshot of cubicle city immediately recognized that whatever task was being worked on was not as [...]

Check out this new animated video for the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players ' Theme Song. The computer animation looks circa 1992, kind of like that Empire Today commercial (you know the one I'm talking about).

That, folks, is the world's worst advertising slogan , coined by the Swiss Cheese Manufacturer's Union in the 70's to encourage people to eat more fondue. The "Fondue is good, and it puts you in a good mood" playlist, however, should satisfy you on any number of tasty levels. I decided to approach this month's theme from the angle of a single meal: fondue, the most swinging, European, and communal of meals. The opening course is a cheese fondue, and there's a chocolate fondue for dessert. Enjoy: The Trachtenburg [...]
