Today we flash backon another of our favourite labels: SUB POP RECORDS . They're responsible for the careers of a diverse range of bands, from Nirvana to Dum Dum Girls to our very own Husky . And they're celebrating 25 years in the business on July 13. That means that they've been around since 1988. Before that founder Bruce Pavitt started a fanzine called Subterranean Pop about American independent artists and their labels. He started releasing [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-23T12:21:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4909593/gingko-ride-it-out/

Hey, uh, Britt? Are you going to eat that maraschino cherry? 'Cause if not . . . I think pretty much everything Britt Daniel touches is gold. (I mean that in the "quality" sense, not necessarily "gold record" sense, although I haven't checked, so maybe Spoon's recent records really have gone gold.) In any case, I'll confess, I'm biased. So I had a feeling his new band project, Divine Fits (also featuring members of the New Bomb Turks and Wolf Parade), would be very not uncool. And sure enough, their album A Thing [...]]]> text/html 2013-02-13T15:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4776882/on-air-at-ksvr-mount-vernon-february-8-2013/
Before I took over, per the norm, host Chef Stuarto brought me on air to discuss the coming show. He asked if there was a highlight track I wanted to talk about. The discussion centered around the first track I would play that evening - Jacco Gardner's "The Ballad of Little Jane", which I likened to a modern rendition of The Beattles' later-era. You can read more about my thoughts by clicking the link below. But really, one of the most notable, poignant tracks of the playlist is the [...]]]> text/html 2013-02-08T10:43:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4767717/divine-fits-cover-bruce-springsteens-hungry-heart/
Divine Fits show an appreciation for Bruce Springsteen. Divine Fits , the indie supergroup featuring Britt Daniel and Dan Boeckner , are currently touring Australia. Later today and tomorrow they'll be playing Adelaide and Perth as part of the Laneway festival, touring in support of their debut album, <a href=" http://www.earbuddy.net/2012/0 8/divine-fits-a-thing-called-d ivine-fits-review.html" [...]<div="[...]]]> text/html 2013-01-08T20:17:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4708831/5-random-songs-1813/
Round 2 of "5 Random Songs" I was in the gym the other day and threw my iPod on full random. All 12,000+ songs randomly jarbled together coming at me like a shit cannon. As someone who's worked in music for a long time I have tons of albums I've never listened to that random people have given me to listen to. At one point I put everything on my iPod. That is until it filled up. It's been a]]> text/html 2013-01-03T00:04:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4699004/live-video-divine-fits/
photo by Dave Lichterman Who would be in your dream band? If you could put together some of your favorite musicians into a fantasy project, you might very well have come up with Divine Fits . Britt Daniel of Spoon and Dan Boeckner of Handsome Furs and Wolf Parade have teamed up up with powerhouse drummer Sam Brown of New Bomb Turks to create some sharply crafted 80s-influenced rock in this new, don't call it a "supergroup", group. While the title of their debut, A Thing Called Divine Fits , might seem incidental, their [...]]]> text/html 2013-01-01T18:20:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4711703/get-to-know-wolf-parade/
Anyone not familiar with the former Canadian rock n roll outfit known ironically as Wolf Parade, you are in for a treat. March along to the beat of an apex predator's drum and enjoy this five song sampler pulled from their three album catalog spanning 2005 to 2010. I'll Believe In Anything (2005) That opening keyboard riff is my ringtone. Its part-Nintendo, part-Close Enounters of the Third Kind vibe sets the mood for a song packed full of wild vocals and passionate guitar. This just might be Spencer Krug at [...]]]> text/html 2012-12-21T14:30:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4684681/moonface-headed-for-the-door/

Now That's What I Call 2008! 2008 was a fantastic year in music. So fantastic, in fact, that it inspired me to start blogging about the great acts and albums of that time. After years of anonymous music writing on Wikipedia (fighting with editors on which bands were truly "notable" and Wiki-eligible), I decided to take my own shot at promoting my favorite acts, and thus Three Colours was born. Feeling a hint of nostalgia this week, I put together an HDPP with some of my favorite songs from '08.

Ghost Mix This week's HDPP happens to fall on Halloween, so I thought if fitting to follow a ghostly theme. Of course, my all-time favorite Halloween-themed song is "Do They Know It's Hallowe'en?" by The North American Halloween Prevention Initiative (video below), but that's unfortunately not available on Spotify.

Divine Fits in Indy Ever since uprooting from Seattle and relocating to SW Michigan, seeing good live shows has become a bit of a challenge. Not that Chicago or Indianapolis are extremely far away, but it requires a bit more planning when "must see" shows swing through the area. But when I learned that Divine Fits would be playing the Deluxe in Indy on a Friday night, purchasing tickets was a no-brainer. It had been nearly 8 years since seeing a show in the [...]]]> text/html 2012-10-26T22:41:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4589036/papa-put-me-to-work/

Divine Fits are playing tonight at Union Transfer in support of their debut album, A Thing Called Divine Fits, which was released in August.
