There's not much about this band that isn't a giant version of WTF?! But before we determine that such a statement can only bring about negative connotations, realize that a lot of WTF?! objects can sell for lots and lots of money and be declared as "revolutionary" and "artistic" and "rare genius." I'm silently giggling to myself but perhaps after a few tracks off of the self titled collaboration of "genius," you'll appreciate just how indie these cats know how to sound. Honestly, this review would go nowhere without the explanation [...]

I love appreciating the visual art almost as much as I love listening to a good song. There are a lot of good songs out there, and I will try to squeeze a playlists of tracks I didn't get a chance to write an appropriate post for. I will let you listen to these songs while I share some [...]
Go ahead, try to say this band's name; we'll wait. For those unfamiliar with UUVVWWZ, the stream of letters may turn you away, but give it a chance. It's pronounced "double 'U,' double 'V,' double 'W,' 'Z'"; this fun-loving quartet's self-titled debut (on Saddle Creek) drops July 7. Formed in Lincoln, Neb., in 2007, the band [...]

UUVVWWZ "Castle" Teal Gardner sings most of UUVVWWZ's debut album in an appealing, if not wholly unique, quirky rock girl style, but on "Castle," she is a total revelation. As the music floats between moments of dreaminess, turbulence, and catharsis, her performance is similarly mercurial. For the most part, her emoting matches the sound of the band, but her inflections and cadences can be very surprising, so bits that would signify a particular emotion under typical circumstances end up getting twisted somewhat. Sometimes it's more intense, and at others, dialed down and understated in a way that [...]

It's baaaack. After missing last week, TEN TRACKS YOU NEED has returned with a slightly larger expanded edition with all sorts of stuff attached to it. If you're wondering where this post was last week, quite honestly there just wasn't enough material to do any sort of post with, so rather than doing TWO TRACKS YOU NEED, I figured I'd wait. Anyway, there's enough stuff on here to keep you busy for like an hour or so. And nothing says Friday better than sitting at work and downloading/watching/listening to stuff you shouldn't be! So get to it. [...]

[MP3] Rural Alberta Advantage: Don't Haunt This Place The name Rural Alberta Advantage has been bandied about for some time now, but admittedly, we never really took the time to do some sufficient digging on the group. Our bad. Well, today came the announcement that they, along with the group UUVVWWZ (we hated even typing that name) have signed to Saddle Creek Records . Like the dutiful bloggers we are, we did our homework and discovered, wow, RAA are pretty damn good. So all in [...]
We pretty much knew something of this sort was imminent with the RAA the minute we heard this band. That Saddle Creek is the name that has chosen to re-release the debut Hometowns and support this band seems the best of all worlds. MP3 : "Don't Haunt this Place" - by The Rural Alberta Advantage courtesy of Saddle Creek Records It seems with this news that on eMusic, where the album was originally released as digital only is no longer available. Saddle Creek will be releasing [...]
