A rare, eleventh-hour treat tonight: LA boyfriend-girlfriend duo Kisses will be gracing the stage at Seattle's Vera Project at 7.30 PM, with guests Sea Pony and Sea Fever. Kisses make pop music with a rare combination of exuberance à la Ace of Base and the cognizant craftsmanship of Saint Etienne - it's no wonder they [Read Full Post...]

My apologies: these songs have been kicking around in my head for a lot longer than I meant for them to. Not entirely my fault; my headphones went tits-up two weeks ago and without them my blogging ritual (relentless repeat during morning and evening walking commute, shorthand texts to myself on woefully out-of-date cell phone, [Read Full Post...]
We received an email from the boys of Elite Gymnastics yesterday wondering if we'd be interested to hear their EP, Neu! '92 is finished and available on their tumblr. We would indeed, and thought you might be as well. There isn't a weak leak in the bunch - we already knew "Montana" was a gem [Read Full Post...]
If you know what's good for you, Seattleites, you'll make your way to The Crocodile tonight to catch Tennis, Lord Huron & Air Waves. The main act, Tennis, make some pretty awesome, summery twee - perfect for pretending it's not February, right? - but I'm most excited to be seeing Lord Huron tonight. Their track "Mighty" [Read Full Post...]

Buzzbands, yo! First up, some hot action from Sebadoh-fankids Yuck and Scottish rock mainstays, Mogwai. In keeping with Yuck's grunge-melodic vision, Mogwai's take is more a fine-tuning. They twist the knobs and fiddle with the antennae on fuzzed-out swooner "Rubber" to unearth its ghosted vocals and spare beauty. Both songs are stupefying in their intensity but [Read Full Post...]
In sweeping generalization, music appreciators break down into two commonly recognized groups: Album People and Song People. I am unabashedly a Song Person, hence my ritualized fascination with the mix CD. Within my clan, there is another important distinction - Repeator or Non-Repeator. I admit to being the former. We Repeators are little roving needles in [Read Full Post...]
This post will be a quickie. The gist of it is pretty straightforward - Oh Land is a kick-ass Danish artist to watch, and if you read Daydream Station, you may be lucky enough to read a brief interview with her in the coming weeks and will definitely be getting a thorough review of her [Read Full Post...]
So it, uh, took us a few minutes there to sleep off our hangovers, emotional and physical but we're back on the horse for another year of blogging. I hope everyone rang 2010 out in style (and to good music). Before we commence 2011-in-blogging, there are a few items of business to conclude: First off, congratulations are in [Read Full Post...]
It all comes down to this. 64 songs (Amanda's 32 favorites and Aaron's 32 favorites), seeded carefully into our December Delirium Tournament Bracket, facing off week after week (see the previous posts on the right) while our sophisticated readers whittled them down, eliminated the chaff and left us with two finalists. These tracks have survived; [Read Full Post...]
