On this rainy day in the northeast, I've been stuck inside all day, which inevitably seems to mean a hunt through the interwebs for new bands. So far my favorite find of the day has been a song from the Seattle band Throw Me The Statue . It's called "Lolita," an upbeat song that somehow fits the rain, gloom, and all that. Take a listen, I hope you enjoy. In the meantime I'll continue to waddle around the web in search of more wonderful music for your ears. Throw [...]
This June is shaping up to be something fantastic. We're looking at three very anticipated releases, and while each of these artists is still rumored for a June release, it's still very likely all these albums with be released sometime around June, if not a little later. Wilco, Regina Spektor, and Laura Veirs are all currently scheduled for June releases. We already know that Wilco is going to have a collaboration with Feist entitled "You and I." Sweet Mother Mcree. They've also said the album's going to be a return to the form of some of their previous work, which [...]
As the tenth installment of my Remix Posts, I've picked a remix of the world famous "Paper Planes" from M.I.A. This is a remix by DFA . Honestly I couldn't tell you who that is. It was featured in Slumdog Millionare , that movie that won basically every award it was nominated for. The song and movie are highly recommended.

Death Cab for Cutie has just announced that they'll be releasing a new EP on March 31st.

The tracklist includes four new songs and an unreleased demo version of "Talking Bird," one of my favorite [...]
This week's MMM, in addition to being a little late, is also going to be rather random. And with that, the random videos shall commence. Passion Pit is supposed to release their debut full length later this year, after dropping one of the catchiest, if not best EP's of last year: Chunk of Change . Here's the video for "Sleepyhead," because both song and video are quite enjoyable. Passion Pit MySpace Voxtrot has recently released their next single from their upcoming release, so I thought I'd post a [...]
Simply out of laziness, I've never been a big listener of either David Byrne or Brian Eno . They're pretty huge names in the music biz, and I hear there names all the time, but to be honest I've never spent more than five minutes exploring their music in my library. Byrne is the man behing Talking Heads, and Brian Eno is generally noted as the father of ambient music. He has worked with Bowie, U2 (barf) and most recently, with Coldplay on Viva la Vida . Bryne and Eno have worked together before, and [...]
