Elvis Perkins had appealed to me, but just a touch, when I heard his earlier album which included "Ash Wednesday". I liked that song, but it seemed to ramble on a little too long for my taste, it needed some editing (although needing editing is something I am very prone to, as well), but his latest release, Elvis Perkins In Dearland , takes a major step forward. A handful of songs from his second full length demand your attention and command mine each time this record gets listened to. Opening strongly with the uptempo [...]
Well, here it is... the first and possibly the last POP QUIZ to appear on Sixeyes with favourite interview subject, Matt Berninger of The National. * * * * * * * Favourite city to visit? Amsterdam. I like the canals and the bikes, not the drugs and whores. Favourite venue to play? Still Bowery Ballroom. It feels homey. CD or vinyl? I [...]
Do you know The National ? If you're a longtime visitor to Sixeyes, then you likely do. Their last record, 2007's Boxer , earned record of the year honours from several respected music biz types and even lowly blogs such as this one. As lauded for their music (from intimate and delicate, to dense and vibrant) as for front man Matt Berninger's throat and lyrical imagery, which has a habit of velcroing itself to your memory, The National have spent close to a decade trying to get your attention, so don't make them wait [...]

Gentleman Reg (Reg Vermue) grew up in several towns and cities, but I believe he calls Guelph (p ronounced 'gwelf' ) Ontario his hometown, it's a small city about twenty five minutes up the road from where I live. And because of this geographic closeness I've seen the Gentleman a couple of times over the past few years, first as an opening act for Antony & The Johnsons in Toronto and also at Guelph's great outdoor music fest Hillside. I've enjoyed his music, but haven't really given it repeated listens until [...]

One of the biggest questions, and not to mention, hurdles, facing us as a planet today is whether or not Matt Berninger of Brooklyn based band The National utters the word frightened or frightening in the third stanza of the sixth song from their most recent album Boxer , their fourth (I'm just trying to keep with the numbers theme of this long sentence). This question arose through my posting the lyrics to Boxer here at Sixeyes in June of 2007, [...]
