My apologies: these songs have been kicking around in my head for a lot longer than I meant for them to. Not entirely my fault; my headphones went tits-up two weeks ago and without them my blogging ritual (relentless repeat during morning and evening walking commute, shorthand texts to myself on woefully out-of-date cell phone, [Read Full Post...]
On Land If You Want It (You Got It) One of my Super Music Friends over at Miles of Music recently asked me if I had anything from TV Girl . I didn't, but after looking, finding, and listening, I was glad that I did. This unsigned duo from San Diego puts together some nice, sunny pop. At the moment, all there is is a 4-track self-titled KEEP READING »
Trung Ngo and Brad Petering decided to record some stuff. And what was the result? I've never been to San Diego , but I think that this is what the summer breeze playing with your hair feels like there. Carelessness, nihilism and youth! Download the whole EP for free! Free Mp3s: TV Girl - TV Girl EP "Give me some advice and I'll tell you where to stick it!" And TV Girl show as [...]

Consider this the last boarding call for those who haven’t yet fallen in love with the wonky brilliance of TV Girl.

This Saturday night I'll be heading out to Bar Pink for my first ever 'Rumble' show featuring an incredible lineup that includes TV Girl , Dirty Gold and Letting Up Despite Great Faults . I've been listening to TV Girl for sometime now, but I missed their debut show at the Casbah, so I'm excited for this one. It's a free show, so come out if you're in the area. I've seen some of my favorite, unexpected shows at Bar Pink- they always have really good local bands playing on Weekends, and [...]
It is with great trepidation, and perhaps one raised eyebrow, that I share the music of San Diego's Trung Ngo and Brad Petering, a/k/a TV Girl — and not because chillwave and its assorted low-fi infections have become a pox on the land. On the duo's first EP, they sample appropriate steal Todd Rundgren's "Hello It's Me," and if you're going to tread on that hallowed ground, you might want to try a little reverence, or at least more adroitness. The EP has a couple chugging numbers, "I Don't Care" and the [...]
THE RUMBLE: LOS ANGELES returns in 2011 in a new home - THE ECHOPLEX starting next Thursday night!!

On February 10th we'll kick things off downstairs with 3 acts we're very proud to be supporting in HANDS, LETTING UP DESPITE GREAT FAULTS [...]
Future Sounds has moved well beyond being friends with San Diego blogger FRIENDS WITH BOTH ARMS . We've been so smitten by their daily entries and new discoveries that we convinced them to join the party at THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO going forward. Nada and her crew not only focus on the booming SD music scene, they seem to find acts crawling out of everywhere, and I've been most impressed with their video sessions and their frequent mixtape series , and if you time it [...]

TV Girl - If You Want It ( mp3 )
This is the first post of a column I'm doing with Nada from Friends with Both Arms . Since meeting last summer, we've been tossing a lot of bands back and forth at each other. Now that she's back living on the west coast, we thought it would be cool to create a column to run on both of our sites where we present one east coast artist and one west coast artist, with you deciding who you like better. If you're digging what I find from the east, "like" this post, RT or put your comments below. If [...]
Welcome to the first of many (friendly) rivalries in a column called East vs. West, with honorable competitor, fellow blogger Chris at Indie Music Filter. I met Chris last summer in Toronto and we recently came up with the idea to showcase a cool artist from our current coasts that we've been digging, and offer them up to you all to decide which one you like best. Let's be honest, West coast is the best coast, although I'll admit, Tearjerker is pretty killer. So now it's up to you, if you're feeling TV Girl , repost/retweet/like this [...]
Monday, January 24, 2011 Today's Quick Mention: Just a heads up, I'm currently working with someone to completely redesign the site on a new platform. If you've ever wanted to see something around here (particular tools, content, features, whatever) then now would be the time to bring it up! Just email me. Five tracks to make sure your week gets started right. Enjoy. : Akron Family - Silly Bears : Just when I thought the single So It Goes [...]
