I love it when I don't even remember downloading something and then I end up loving it days later. This tune has owned my weekend in a very good way. It sounds like early Mum slowly churning through a Postal Service tune. Class. And, the entire album is available for free download at Magic Man's bandcamp site here . Enjoy. [...]

"Cause he was looking at me like WOAH!" Alright. As far as I'm concerned, this song is pure genius. If the incessant little stabbing melodies and harmonies don't get you, how does that persistent verse keyboard riff not? If the lyrics don't entirely make sense at first, how can you not love a song reportedly about " what it would be like to try and have [...]

Britain's Goldhawks come pounding straight into this one and never relent. I love the bounce of the rhythm and the verse/chorus dynamics (guitars dropping out and then returning something fierce), all of which merely support an insanely catchy rock melody. This song is blistering and ambitious, which I love. No attempt to undersell or back away from what is truly a huge tune. I have no idea who produced this, but it sounds incredible. Enjoy. [...]

If you follow new music at all, you've surely run into the trendy "lo-fi" movement by now. Now, if you are old like me, you will remember the "lo-fi" movement of the early 1990's courtesy of bands like Sebadoh and their four-track recorders. Well, the old trusty four tracks have been upgraded to GarageBand and the like. As with most genres, there's a ton of copy-cat junk out there now, but there are always some gems as well. As the Internet Forever tag line goes - "Good at Songs, Bad at Fidelity" [...]

"Did you know I whispered something low to you that morning, but you were half-asleep?" I finally found my way down to Waterloo Records on Saturday (with two kids in tow) and picked up Danny Malone's "Cuddlebug". I've been waiting for this one forever and I'm not disappointed.

I just recently found out Elephant Parade , the new project by Estelle from The Brittle Stars (arguably the best band to ever record for Shelflife Records ).

" And we will burn our eyes, seeking out these purple nights... " There was an old Sarah Records single insert that loosely described their selection process as a record label by stating that the chosen bands' demos typically (paraphrased from memory here) "had all the wrong notes and all the right everything elses". That's pretty much the perfect way to describe all those bands you know aren't perfect musicians but still embody that perfect ramshackle charm that matters so much more. [...]

Drones and slow builds have always been my surrogate drugs and I've never needed/wanted the real stuff.

It really doesn't matter how I'm feeling, I love me a good sad song. Life can be as chipper as possible (and in most ways it has been lately) and still I'm a glutton for some melodic misery. I've been questioned about it a million times and my only great explanation is that it's definitely the emotional vicarious thrill and not the therapy that most people suppose it to be. There's just nothing like that wash of bummedness drifting over you. On that note, here are some of my recent faves; they aren't thoroughly bummed, but they deliver nonetheless. Enjoy. [...]
