My Favorite Records of 2012

Dec 31, 2012, 6:03pm Baby, You Got a Stew Goin'!

2012 was an odd year for me musically, and I largely blame Spotify. The only physical musical media I buy these days is the LP, and I really only do that to help touring bands that I like and to buy reissues of my favorite albums. I still buy a lot of digital-only releases too, but when it comes to actually listening to music, I tend to rely mainly on Spotify. (Or a few specific radio shows .)  Especially at work. And that's a problem, at least in terms [...]

The Dismemberment Plan @ Metro Gallery [8/10/12]

Aug 11, 2012, 10:32am Baby, You Got a Stew Goin'!

Last night was the first night of two small, low key shows on the East Coast by the reunited The Dismemberment Plan . If you'll recall, the band first reunited in early 2011, and played a series of shows that spring and summer before finishing up at last year's Pitchfork Fest. After that last show, the band kinda disappeared again, without announcing whether the reunion would continue or not. Then, about a month ago, the band announced two low-key shows in Baltimore and Fredericksburg, VA. Full disclosure - I'm on the board of Fredericksburg [...]

New Tunes from Dean Wells

Aug 4, 2012, 8:47pm Baby, You Got a Stew Goin'!

You may recall that, when I was blogging more often (oh, say 2008), I was quite taken with The Capstan Shafts . That band kinda disappeared a year or two back, and I had recently been wondering what had happened to them. Well, wonder no more. It turns out that head Capstan Shaft, Dean Wells, has moved on to a new band called Loud Springs , and they have a brand new 4-song EP called "Wheels to Ceiling." And it's pretty much the exact set of perfect minute and a half pop songs [...]

VIDEO: The Dirty Nil, “Fucking Up Young”

Jul 5, 2012, 3:31pm Baby, You Got a Stew Goin'!

Ah, the wonders of Twitter. Thanks to a post by The Rest this afternoon, I just discovered The Dirty Nil . They sound absolutely nothing like The Rest (whose new album you really need to get), but that's not a bad thing. Despite being from Hamilton, Ontario, they actually remind me of a number of bands coming out of Nashville recently - loud, beer-driven good time rock and roll. Check out their new video for "Fucking Up Young" below, and if you dig that, download their summer mixtape for free at BandCamp [...]
