One special show: ► Matthew Sweet's "Girlfriend" remains one of my favorite albums of all time — along with the Posies' "Frosting on the Beater," it was the best power-pop album of its era, and deservedly earns mentions on any shortlist of the top power-pop albums ever made. Sweet's sweet melodies and bittersweet lyrics were juxtaposed on the album with gnarly guitar solos from the late Robert Quine (that's Quine, who played with Richard Hell, Lou Reed and Lloyd Cole, among others, on "Girlfriend's" title track) and Television's Richard Lloyd. Now, 20 years after [...]
Back in Bizniss by MJMJ RECORDS We're excited to announce that our beloved friends at MJ MJ Records are back in action.

Messy Sparkles, Gracie, and Dada Trash Collage are just a few of the many great artists on the mix. Download it here to get a sweet taste of one of our favorite labels. And check out that stud Charlie on the album art.
Vacation Dad // ZOIO From Two Michael Jordans : " This is all the music Vacation Dad has ever, and (most likely) will ever make (at least for the for seeable future). And it's all for free on MJ MJ! " After reading that I felt two things. First I was sad that we will not be gifted with any new Vacation Dad music any time soon (maybe ever). But then I quickly realized that I couldn't be sad for long because [...]
Vacation Dad - I Hope yr Favorite Color is Everywhere Wake Up Good news/Bad news. Unfortunately, Los Angeles' Andrew Todyrk AKA Vacation Dad has just announced that he is taking a long break away from creating music due to some personal reasons. Though it's not all too bad, Todryk did pass along some hopeful information, "Someday i'll get it back, and it will be glorious." Despite how terrible this sounds, there is some good news. Vacation Dad has decided to leave behind two incredible [...]

Figure in Isolation is a short four minute animation created by Kaleb Doroucher and Michelle Chrzanowski . The short was based off of a riveting soundscape produced by Vacation Dad 's Andrew Todryk. "This animation reflects our seclusion during the long Wisconsin winter we spent making it," says Doroucher. That's 150 hours to be exact. In Figure in Isolation, the story follows a lonely character as it's curiosity leads it to find something extraordinary. It's a short full of stark contrast, atypical compositions, and oracular feelings. The short had premiered earlier this year [...]
New Video: Kaleb Durocher and Michelle Chrzanowski "Figures In Isolation" Music By: Vacation Dad I'm a sucker for stop motion. This is some beautiful work.
Winters in Wisconsin are good for one thing - hibernation. Last winter me (VD) and my best friends Kaleb and Shelly huddled up together and made this short film. They asked me to create a series of soundscapes for them to animate to. This one is Isolation. Shelly and Kaleb burrowed into their room night after night for a total of 200 hours to create this incredible film. Let it load HD/fullscreen/headphones. Take a minute out of yr busy day and get lost in isolation. [...]
We all assume that the truly memorable moments in your life are the rushes of adrenaline, as some scary drama sideswipes you unexpectedly, or when everything changes following the birth of your first child, or a marriage with the one you love - you know the really big things. Well, as John Lennon once insightfully stated " life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans ", so today we want you to imagine the moments in between the large, obvious life-changers. Imagine the seconds you take to pause in life and ponder. It might [...]
Whether you listen to an artist because they sound good or because you've been attracted by their name, either item always seems to be one of two reasons you've discovered any number of songs in your music library. Remember the old days before iTunes when you would look at the album cover and say, "Yup, I'm going to buy this". Now that times have changed and music is so readily available to us, it still comes down to the band name itself that can either make or break our decision to even listen to the artist. The list below represents [...]
Hey fam! I haven't really been posting anything since I got to LA, but stuff is finally starting to calm down. Charlie and I found a place to live and I might get a job or something?

Here's a couple old new VD songs for you. I wanted to put em on a 7" called "MIss you", but that never really happened. [...]

So here's the thing, those incredibly nice guys you see in the picture above, Andy Todryk and Charlie Collier from MJMJ (Two Michael Jordans) Records , recently moved from their home in Eau Claire, Wisconsin to LA to finally be closer to their FMLY , but on their way to the promised land some unchill bro broke into their van and stole just about everything, clothes, computers, music gear. But instead of simply lying down crying and lamenting, the two have decided to put up a Kickstarter project so friendly folks can jointly fund the rescue/resurrection of their [...]
Tragedy strikes without warning, and I guess that's why it's tragic. Because we never see it coming. Well on their venture out to LA the great dudes Andy and Charlie from Two Michael Jordans Records got robbed something fierce. About $7000 worth of equipment, clothes, etc. were taken without their permission never to be seen again. However, their spirits have not been totally broken. They've blown the horn, and summoned all their FRNDS and FMLY to come to their aid. This is being done in [...]

Blackhawks & Radiator Girls // Black Girls Split While the label Two Michael Jordans has not produced alot of content thus far, what they have pushed out has been of mind-blowing quality.
