Hello! Who's up for a mid-week boost (it's Tuesday, it counts)? Tonight's episode of MFR Night at Honey features a little bit of rock and roll brought to you by Hot Ashes and The White Whales . Both are really great local bands that you should absolutely know about. Get a little crazy this week. Happy Holidays! 9pm // 18+ // $5 - The party is at Honey . Bring everyone.
Hope everyone had a nice labor day weekend. As you can see, I sort of took an extended break due to the holiday. I don't think I spent more than a couple hours or so at the house all weekend and was pretty exhausted by the end of it, so now I am playing catch up… This 7-inch from Buffalo based White Whale has been kicking around for a bit now, however I just got it in the mail about a month ago I'd say. It's been on a [...]

White Whale - We're Just Temporary Ma'am The Stella Link - Ice Machine
In a new independent film directed by Bob Moczydlowsky, "72 Musicians", shot and edited over the last two years is based upon a strikingly simplistic concept: get rad bands, get rad bands to sit down and talk about the music...
Our Noise: The Story of Merge Records is a worthy document about the colorful history of the label, but it may be an even more useful tool when it comes to examining why indies like Merge are doing so well while the majors are reeling.
image from here Another difficult topic for me to talk about but I need to do it. I need to purge the demons in my life. I hope this post doesn't turn anyone off but I feel it is necessary. I am not an overly religious person but do believe there is a God and that we are all here for a purpose. And I do read the Bible now and then (I know, Merz the Shoegaze Fetish man reading the Bible is a scary thought... :-) Well, anyways what the good book [...]
If you're like me, you love some free music! Let's face it, folks, you're not here for the witty dialogue. You come to Sell the Lie for the handouts! It's okay, we're like the kid in your elementary school who had a Sega; we know why you want to be our friends, but really we're just happy for the company. Being drawn to recieving music for nothing, I recently discovered the "Free Music" link on my eMusic account, and behind that link I found a 7-song sampler from a label called White Whale Records [...]
For this week's mix, a famously sampled Bob Dylan cover, T Rex in their early hippie nonsense phase, new stuff from Dengue Fever and Late of the Pier, and a White Whale track from the last issue of Esopus . The mix is a little on the dark side until the end, but it's the middle of winter, so you and your johns can like it or lump it. Also, a challenge: try getting off during the Teach-In track. Dutch ABBA wannabes with a really surreal command of the English language ("Maybe it's a bigot!") challenge all but the [...]
( source of the title - it's not from Moby Dick) Just a note: I've been packing and finishing house-type projects for the past few days because I'll be leaving for Oberlin on Saturday (the joy of the 9-hour drive!). I'm seriously looking forward to getting back to Obie-land, where hippies and hipsters roam free in their natural habitats. The posting will be sketchy for the next 5 or 6 days, but stick with me - things should get back to normal by next Tuesday. There's no lack of bands I'd like [...]
Photograph by DPM Photography Yes - Going For The One Get the idea cross around the track Underneath the flank of a thoroughbred racing chaser Getting the feel as a river flows Would you like to go n' shoot the mountain masses And here you stand no taller than the grass sees And should you really chase so hard [...]
Sorry, I have been a bit busy, I apologize for the delay. I decided to edit the title a bit here because the "Leftover" was causing some confusion... These song picks are some of my favorite songs of the year from bands who were not present on either my Album or EP lists, the following list is my top 20 song picks: Enjoy and Happy Holidays! I Don't Mind Trespassers William , Having [ Get it ] The Dead Tree [...]
Currently finishing up their fall tour, local band White Whale is picking up steam on the road and on the world wide web. In September they did an in-studio performance at indie music radio station, KEXP, out of Seattle; and were recently in New York for the CMJ Music Marathon .

A little bit of everything to help ease you through this particular Friday. Hope to see all you Capetonians at the Taxi Violence gig at Mercury tonight. If not for you, I'll try to have some other options up for you later in the day. Listen: The Wrens - Happy Voxtrot - Trouble White ...
