SFIFF Review: Merrill Garbus and Ava Mendoza present Buster Keaton Shorts at The Castro Theater, 4/23/12

Apr 26, 2012, 5:26pm Spinning Platters

One of the great traditions of the San Francisco International Film Festival has been pairing up an indie rock band with a classic silent film. In past years these have always been classier films, such as 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea or A Page Of Madness. It seemed to be a risky move to do something [...]

Apr 25, 2012, 10:49pm Spinning Platters

If you asked someone what their favorite record by a female singer in 2011 was, odds are you would have gotten a reply that fit one of two options: 21 by Adele, or Ceremonials by Florence and the Machine. Both topped charts, and the former swept the Grammys, taking home the coveted Album Of The Year award, [...]

Nick Lowe at The Phoenix in Toronto

Apr 25, 2012, 8:28am Chromewaves

Frank Yang Maybe listening to Jesus Of Cool and Labour Of Lust weren't the best warm-ups for Nick Lowe's show at The Phoenix on Monday night. After all, he was many many years removed from being the young pub-rock firebrand who recorded those first two records, having settled comfortably into the role of professorial pop singer-songwriter - a guise that's suited his still-potent pen quite nicely, as last year's The Old Magic proved. But if you [...]

7 Music Videos To Watch While You’re Stoned

Apr 20, 2012, 10:21am Pigeons and Planes

We weren't going to do a 4/20 post, but then we got inspired. We thought about a post of stoner songs, but we all know what the best stoner anthems are, and you've all got your playlist of preferred pot smoking tunes. Instead, we collected seven music videos that will guarantee to provide that "ohh shit" moment for you while you're getting lifted and are looking for more than the latest chilled out rap song about smoking weed, because contrary to popular belief, you don't need to listen to music about smoking weed every time 4/20 comes around. So check [...]

   I've never been to Coachella, but I say with confidence that I don't regret that. But I do suppose that I owe the festival a big "THANK YOU!" for sending this amazing co-headlining show my way. In between the Coachella weekends this year, there are amazing shows in the outskirts of LA and tUnE-yArDs and St. Vincent at The Glass House in Pomona this Thursday 4/19 is the best one. I have been completely obsessed with both of these bands this year. My crush on St. Vincent is clear from [...]

This is the final installment of "All The Bands We Loved Before", where I share with you Coachella "previews" by reminding you about bands we've already written about in blogs past. Weekend 1 of Coachella has concluded. Most acts could be seen live via streaming, and many more could be re-broadcast through Coachella's YouTube channel. This tool has been totally invaluable in helping us decide who to see when we venture out for weekend 2. One of the tough decisions is skipping Arctic Monkeys . Yep. And even though Mookie [...]
