LHB’s Shorties (Patti Smith’s Detective Novel, Fight Club: The Musical, and More)

The Guardian reports that Patti Smith is currently writing a detective novel. Fight Club: The Musical. The Prague Post profiles Sleigh Bells. Treats couldn't be more apt a name for Sleigh Bells' album, with the pair serving up 11 short, sweet missives laced with just the right amount of dissonance. Songs like "Kids" and "Rill Rill" - the latter featuring a [...]

LHB’s Shorties (Wanda Jackson, Les Jupes, and More)

Legendary singer Wanda Jackson talks to Morning Edition about her new Jack White-produced covers album, The Party Ain't Over . The Montreal Gazette profiles the band Les Jupes. The magically gloomy Modern Myths is an album that should push the quartet through a number of other doors. It slides contemporary folk into a lush fog of subdued prog for a sound that is as epic as [...]

Atomic Bombs Are Going To Explode

Deerhoof - "The Merry Barracks" A lot of indie rock music is based on contrasting highly expressive guitar parts with deadpan or understated vocal performances, but Deerhoof push that dynamic to an absurd extreme. The guitar parts are always extremely flamboyant and tied in with rhythms that bounce all over the place. The music carries all the emotion, while the vocals by Satomi Matsuzaki are like a blank slate. She can be rather playful, but it's hard to get a read on her. Emotionally illegible, totally unknowable. This throws the music off in a way that is [...]

You Stubbed Your Toe

Chain and the Gang - "Not Good Enough" There are countless love songs, but tough love songs are kinda rare, especially when they have nothing to do with sex and romance. "Not Good Enough" delivers a harsh message with a cheerful, friendly tune: "If you feel like you're not good enough then you're probably not, and you never, ever will be." Ian Svenonius sings the words with no particular malice or venom, he mostly comes across like someone who respects the listener enough to not sugarcoat a hard truth. It's important to note that he's not telling [...]
