So here we are at the start of October with the usual 'leftovers' post for the previous month. I hardly wrote anything in September (and that'll probably continue a bit into October unfortunately) so you'd think I'd have a lot left, but alas not. Luckily for you though, the ones I do have are all rather great. So great in fact that they deserve their own posts, but I just don't have the time to get to them right now. Left with a choice between not writing or just doing the little blurb here, we'll go [...]
A glance into the world of story and legend through the eyes of songs… A labor of love! This has been a fun themed music series released on two mp3 blogs. The Chapters: Part I Part II Part III Part IV Part V [...]
veliki izdavac, velike obaveze... debitantski album mladjanih teksasana, clanova sastava Voxtrot, pojavice ce se verovatno s prolecem iduce godine. nakon kratke jesenje turneje, sredinom novembra, bend dolazi na ovu stranu Atlantika, gde ce u centru britanske prestonice, u nekom od cuvenih Miloco studija, zapoceti snimanje svoje prve velike ploce. mala najava, kako bi sve to moglo da zvuci,
Ich bin nicht euer größter Fan. Aber irgendwie bin ich vor geraumer Zeit an euer Album "Raised By Wolves" geraten. Und jetzt höre ich, dass "Your Biggest Fan" da ist. Und das gefällt mir auch. Austin ist ja nun ein gutes Pflaster und 60s mit ein bißchen Manchestersound und Belle & Sebastian zu mischen ist ja auch keine Schande. Aber 'ne LP könntet ihr schon bald mal machen, oder? Diese andauernden viel zu kurzen EPs machen mich ganz nervös. Aber vielleicht wollt ihr das ja so. mp3: Voxtrot / Trouble (Advance) [...]
As I mentioned earlier this month (before Pitchfork's "exclusive", you may note), Austin pop mavens Voxtrot will be releasing a new EP as a "don't you forget about us" to fans while prepping their debut full-length for release next Spring. Your Biggest Fan will be out on CD and 7" on November 7 via their new home at Playlouder and I have a sort-of exclusive of one of the b-sides from said release (there's 3 songs in total). It's a short but sweet (and [...]
Wer, wie ein unbekannter Philosoph, behauptet, dass das Leben eigentlich ein einziger langer Traum sei, aber heute noch aufwachen sollte, kann sich gleich wieder hinlegen. Denn heute wird es beschaulich bei mir. mp3: Voxtrot / Trouble mp3: Gwenno / Lime chordial mp3: Grizzly bear / Knife mp3: Dana Falconberry / Sadie Technorati Tags: free mp3 , download , music , voxtrot , Grizzly bear , Gwenno
The boys in Voxtrot keep churning out the EPs (well, this is more of a 7"/maxi-single), with Your Biggest Fan due on November 7th. The 3-song disc (which I believe is a preview of the band's upcoming debut LP) contains the trademark-Voxtrot title-track, the gorgeous, somewhat of a departure for the band, strings-laden ballad " Sway ," and " Trouble ," my favorite song from the single. The band and PlayLouder have hooked us up with an mp3 to share with you guys: Voxtrot [...]
So, whilst eating my vegan french toast this morning, I thought, "Oh man, this is delicious! I love vegan french toast!" Then, I tried to think of what to post for you guys today and was stumped. THEN, I was sipping my fantastic soy mocha and thought, "Jeeze, this is delicious as well. I love soy mochas!" So, a light bulb went off in my noggin and I decided that today I would just post about something I really love. Since I'm trying to avoid burning you guys out on The Mountain Goats, today I bring you...The Talking [...]
Follow-up to Mini–mix : Sleep from á la discothèque Without wanting to steal some of the thunder from Jim's excellent Sleep Mini-Mix , it inspired me to create my own, longer version. Whereas Jim made an excellent job of mixing the tracks together seamlessly, I'm rubbish at that kind of thing so [...]
These are the top 30 songs of 2006 (so far) for Lunapark6 with a rather interesting requirement: the songs are freely available for dowload - legally. Only reason for this requirement & this list, is to let people that may not be familiar with these acts check out their material. If this list didn't have [...]

Äntligen finns det ett skäl att posta en av vårens och förra vinterns förmodligen mest bloggade låtar! Det nystartade skivbolaget How Does It Feel To Be Loved? var från början endast en London-baserad popklubb men inleder alltså nu sin skivutgivning med en nitton låtar lång samlingsskiva kallad The Kids At The Club . Samlingen rymmer bland annat låtar med Tender Trap, Suburban Kids with Biblical Names, Lucky Soul och Irene, samt helt nya låtar med Language of Flowers och Saturday Looks Good To Me. Men nu glömmer vi det för en stund. The [...]
Well, we made it through the first week. It's about time for my first mix, don't you think? This mix is for my friends that are reading this. A lot of this stuff has been around for awhile, but most of it is new to you. Right click on the song titles to save. Click on the artist name for more information. Enjoy! Art Brut - Good Weekend Maritime - Tearing Up The Oxygen Peter, Bjorn [...]

I know a lot of you enjoyed my cover of Gotta Go by Victor Scott. Today I have another cover for you to enjoy ... tim young - the start of something (voxtrot cover) ... as always I'd love to know your thoughts! In case you haven't heard it ... voxtrot - the start of something ... or seen it ... Voxtrot's website.
Vacations are always good and yet they hardly ever turn out to be vacations. Our schedule over this past weekend made our average lives feel laidback. Of course, its no secret that when you combine some of the best music acts of the moment with humidity, heat, sweat, hot dogs, deep dish, and tragically un-hip youth you are going to have some major work on your hands. It seems that there was a
I'm probably the only person in the blogging world NOT at the Pitchfork Music Festival this weekend, and I actually LIVE in Chicago. Am I an idiot for not going? Ehhhh, kinda. But I didn't go because I've got lots of things to do this weekend, and Pitchfork isn't one of them. So sorry if you were looking for my "show analysis" or photos or whatever...I'm not there and am not going. What I DID do was go to Pitchfork's opening night party on Friday, featuring The Joggers, Voxtrot and Sunset Rubdown. That was a lineup to get excited about, [...]
