fantastic picks: Fascinoma, whisperkid, and The Gift Machine at the Echo Curio (3/22)

Mar 13, 2008, 11:07pm Fantastic Weapon
Who is whisper kid? I looked 'em up and I still don't really know. Their myspace page lists band members, "Rhea and anyone else who wants to play with her. This has included: Champ, Ryan, Katya, Tracey, Christian..." Rhea-the-ring-leader (whose myspace blog is definitely worth a read) and her sporadic entourage played their first show [...]

fantastic and FREE: Complete Instant Automatons Discography

Mar 13, 2008, 9:40pm Fantastic Weapon
So I think Henry Rollins is a genius, and if you read The Orphan Review, you've undoubtedly heart me gush over the man on several occasions. How do the Instant Automatons provide me with another occasion on which to do so? A few months ago I was listening to Henry Rollins' radio show (Harmony in [...]

fantastic picks: Beach House and Papercuts Tonight at The Echo

Mar 13, 2008, 6:11am Fantastic Weapon
If you were lucky enough to be at The Echo last year to see Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, then you were not only lucky enough to see The Haunted Graffiti made up of members of Swans, Bubonic Plague, and Friends in the Mountains, but also to bear witness to the majesty that is Beach House. [...]

APHEX TWIN and GOLDFRAPP added to Coachella 2008 Lineup!

Mar 13, 2008, 5:59am Fantastic Weapon
Just announced on Tuesday, March 11th: Aphex Twin and Goldfrapp have been added to this year's already stellar Coachella lineup! Aphex Twin is a big deal, mainly because he's completely out of his mind and I pretty much figured he'd never perform in the states again. Other artists that can't be missed: Portishead, My Morning [...]

Where The Hell Do You Think You?re Going, Steve Albini?

Mar 13, 2008, 3:14am Fantastic Weapon
I'm just not sure if I say it enough. Actually, I'll take that back-I'm totally sure that I DO NOT say it enough-Steve Albini, I love you, I love Rapeman, I love Big Black, and I love Shellac. Seriously this man writes like the most bitter, petty, cathartic, and universally comprehensible lyrics I can think [...]

album ambush: guerilla review OF UPCOMING TAPES N TAPES RELEASE, Walk It Off

Mar 12, 2008, 2:22pm Fantastic Weapon
The sophomore release of Minneapolis quartet Tapes 'n Tapes isn't a departure from the style established in 2006 by their debut release, The Loon. Apart from the not-so-subtle similarities in the cover art, the two releases are musically quite akin. Actually, it seems like the foursome intended Walk It Off to be more than just [...]

Limited Edition Singles from The Teenagers Released Monday (3/10)

Mar 12, 2008, 5:08am Fantastic Weapon
Nothing reeks of high school more than day-glo graffiti, awkward make-out parties, football games, boys obsessed with fornicating, cheerleaders, rollerskates, and the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Nothing, that is, except for maybe the Teenagers MySpace page. The visuals included in this post are really only a tiny fraction of the serious gems that make [...]
