A couple of weeks ago, we went to New Orleans for a friend's wedding. We had a chance to see the World War II museum and the fancy new wing that Tom Hanks helped contribute with and the new theater much cooler than an Imax (it's in 4D!). The picture from above is taken from the museum, and before the trip, I had no idea there was a WWII museum. I guess Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg are teaming up again to retell the story of the US invading the Pacific during [...]
I've been posting a lot more NSFW things this year. First it was Girls' video for 'Lust for Life' and The Flaming Lips' video for 'Watching the Planets', now the video hasn't even been released but the preview is very NSFW. Like the other videos it would be a surprise if it... Click the link to read more
So during CMJ 2007 I saw this band called Yeasayer. They looked like a bunch of fucking creeps but the music was amazing. Like all caps AMAZING even. It was a weird mix of backwoods and robot future.Then I got the album and while I didn't think the production was great the music was some of the best I'd heard in years. I went on to declare they are the best Brooklyn band since TVOTR. Based on the

Mocorraco Passion Pit son majísimos. Y cuando algo majísimo es remezclado, es digno de mención. Y si uno de los nombres que remezcla es Jack Beats , te aseguras que va a ser un reventón antes de escuchar nada. Y si no, ya vimos lo que hicieron con Patricio . Además del de Jack Beats, tenemos en el menú un remix de Hey Champ , de la nueva oleada de pop remixers que le dan un toque más funky y, bailonguete un rato largo es. Yo para ser feliz quiero un remiiix... [...]

These days, indie rockers aren't allowed to make a video where people have clothes on. It's just a rule. Matt and Kim did a censored version, then Girls went XXX . Then The Flaming Lips shot a nudie clip with about a million friends. (Wayne got naked, too! Like I didn't already have a big enough crush on him!) And now it's Yeasayer 's turn. But their entry certainly raises the stakes. When you visit amblingalp.com , you'll find an extremely NSFW video. But it's isn't [...]
Click here for Yeasayer's sophisticated delivery system for new single "Ambling Alp." And for "sophisticated" read: "interactive and naked." This band owes Ryan McGinley an apology, basically. "Am... Continue reading "The Porny New Yeasayer Website" >
![[Video] Yeasayer's Experimental Video Thing (NSFW)](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2136326_lg.jpg)
What's with all the NSFW videos of naked people running around in fields and forests hitting the web these days? Has this replaced hand-drawn animation as the new cool indie video fad? All that's not to undervalue Yeasayer 's new video (up at their website ), which sees a few very naked people interacting with a 360° panoramic camera and then running into the desert to chill with some silverish spacey looking thing. Check it out... Here's Yeasayer's latest single, "Ambling Alp" » [MP3] Yeasayer [...]

from a brief stay in ottawa, with love. i think all of this would probably have been qualified as idm if, over the years, that term had managed to retain any meaning. it feels like there's a lesson in there somewhere about the fundamental nature of taxonomy. Ladytron - Ghosts (Modwheelmood remix) Joakim - Lonely hearts Yeasayer - Ambling Alp (Memory Tapes remix) Fever Ray & The Subliminal Kid - Here before
This is the new single from Yeasayer's new full length due out sometime next February, and keeping in tradition with All Hour Cymbals , "Ambling Alp" is very ,very good. I really like Yeasayer and have always considered them to be in a league of their own for being able to apply keen pop sensibilities to their ear for experimentation, treating listeners to interesting sounds and textures imposed on effective melodies. Do yourself a favour and check out the download and streaming audio below. Happy listening! [...]

"Brewing" is a new recurring feature to let you know what's ahead in new music releases. We've had some information filter out recently about new albums due out in early 2010. It's shaping up to be a good start to the new year. Let's begin with the sophomore album from Vampire Weekend , which features the new single [...]

First, here's some free new music that you can collect on your own, if you have an e-mail address, and you happen to like free live EPs by a little-known band called the Pixies. This is fresh from their reunion tour where they're re-creating Doolittle live on stage. The American leg starts later this week. Download The Pixies - "Gouge Away (live)".mp3 [...]
Dayve Hawk alias Memory Tapes ist auf 78s kein Unbekannter. Schon desöfteren haben wir uns in Lobeshymnen verstiegen, wenn vom "Chill-Wave"Meister die Rede war. Auch heute muss dies sein. Während ich mich auf meine Vinyl-Version von "Seek Magic" freue, die Debüt-Platte von Memory Tapes, die letzte Woche endlich verschifft worden ist, haut Dayve Hawk zu [...]

I'm amazed at how quickly Animal Collective have become a major influence. It usually takes bands a generation before they're cited or imitated, but it seems I'm writing about the latest Animal Collective-inspired band every other month or so ( Atlas Sound , Toro Y Moi , Bagheera , Akudama ). And Brooklyn-based Yeasayer are another one that wear their experimental, groove-laden AC influences proudly. But the spunky, highly accessible "Ambling Alp," from the upcoming album Odd Blood , is a real step forward for Yeasayer (coming on the heals [...]

Does video art sap the life right out of musical lyricism, stifling imagination? I begin today's Radio Dick with my simplistic and probably naive assertion that one ought to still read words and not dive too heavily into visual culture. My thoughts have been weighing pretty heavily on this idea lately; my 9th grade class is moving through Romeo and Juliet with me and I can't help but notice the dwindling patience with the text, the lack of analysis without strong coaching from my end with visual stimuli. The largely thematic aspects of the play still garner interest, [...]

[Fun Fun Fun Fest '09] I'm not late on this at all... Of the three major music festivals that grace this city each year, Fun Fun Fun Fest is certainly the locals' secret. Granted, it's a horribly kept secret, but there's an aspect to Fun Fun Fun that makes it seem so much more manageable. Watching Fun Fun Fun Fest grow and progress each year definitely lets you see just how much this city thrives on music. From it's humble beginnings as a $20 or so catch-all of [...]
