We've mentioned both the BEKO and Tan Dollar before, and now both come together to make a beautiful baby-digital-single. Tan Dollars hoppity brand of almost-sans-vocal orchestration ranges from what sounds like xylophone sweeping to blunt electronic beats and rough vocal effects almost to the point of use as an instrument. What we've heard in the past from this band is more than promising and this digital single is no different. You can head over to the BEKO DSL website to download this single and more.
In addition to being a fairly popular indie band, Vivian Girls also run Wild World Records. To date, the label has solely been used to release Vivian Girls singles, like "Surf's Up" and "Wild Eye". However, as Brooklyn Vegan reports, the label will soon branch out as it will be releasing three-Non Vivian Girl releases in the weeks ahead. In the weeks ahead, World Wide will oversee the release of Austin based Yellow Fever's debut self-titled full-length (on December 1st to be exact), which is described as a compilation of three EPs to date, [...]
Well, it's not really me doing the soliciting, I'm just asking for a friend. Really I am! What? You don't believe me? Oh shush! Here, I've copied Tim's email request exactly: "November is almost upon us again, so it's time to think about the Contrast Podcast Festive 50. This year it will be on episodes 194, 195 & 196 from the 15th to the 29th of December. So here is what I need you, your friends, the readers of your blog, your milkman and anyone else you know to do: 1. [...]
I might be more surprised than anyone to learn that Kenny Rogers still makes music (you know, as opposed to just roasting chickens ). Apparently, his holiday tour is an annual tradition. The Gambler will be returning to the road late this November through December, and, yes, since it is a Christmas tour, he will be performing holiday classics, but rest assured his hits will make it into the set as well. Sadly, I don't think he'll be roasting chicken for fans on the road at all. Tour dates are below. Kenny Rogers [...]

The 2009 edition of the Kenny Rogers Christmas & Hits Tour featuring Rebecca Lynn Howard will launch on November 27th in Bossier City, LA at the Horseshoe Casino Riverdome. The 20-city tour will [...]
If you're at all familiar with the sordid past of psych-rock pioneer Roky Erickson , than you know that it was only a few years ago that the possibility of ever seeing him perform live seemed about as likely as a warm winter in Toronto. His heavily permissive lifestyle back in the 60's while he was the leader of seminal psychsters the 13th Floor Elevators led to his being diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 1968, resulting in jailtime, electroshock therapy, and even a brief stint where he believed that aliens were coming to Earth to do him harm. It [...]
Tuesday November 3, 2009 THE GRATES The Entry / 8:00 pm / 18+ with ICE PALACE, and ZOO ANIMAL $8.00 adv | $8.00 door
Frank Yang Last Thursday night was spent at The Garrison, the newly - opened west-end venue that'll be home to the final year of Wavelength as well as a plethora of other local music happenings. A fine example of this was this evening's bill, featuring bands with long names from near, far and sorta-near-but-not-that-close: The Wilderness Of Manitoba , Slow Down Molasses and Olenka & The Autumn Lovers . Slow Down Molasses represented the "far", hailing from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and were up first. I'd spent some [...]

I've been following the Team Canada DJs for quite a while now, as well as a related project called the Eh! Team DJs . The duo formed up about 5 years ago, and have had one release so far called "Classic Material 13. To be succinct, the 2004 album was ridiculously fucking good, and I don't know why these guys took so long to follow up with something similar. Classic Material is all mashup, all the time. It has all of the song recognition appeal without the manic switch-ups of Girl Talk. [...]
A giant drive-thru redwood tree trunk provides a perfect perch for a billboard of one of the most bizarre roadside tourist traps I've ever discovered in a slide. Not only does this rural wonder claim to be a park of totem poles (and, who, tell me doesn't like totem poles,) it's also an aquarium where you can see "Ocean Wonders ALIVE - Like a Walk on the Floor of the Sea - Just Ahead." Or in the case of this robin's egg blue 1949 Plymouth, just behind! Judging by the mossy tree trunk this has to be somewhere in Northern [...]

Les Savy Fav @ Brooklyn Masonic Temple in March ( more by Natasha Ryan ) For some, 9/9/09, is a special date because it is the last time we will see single-digit repeating numbers in a date until January 1, 2101. According to Livescience.com, 9/9/09 is significant to numerologists because the number 9 is, to coin a term, "yingyangy." In other words, it is associated with noble qualities such as forgiveness, compassion and success and ignoble qualities such as arrogance and self-righteousness. Some are excited about 09/09/09 because Tim Burton 's [...]
Joe Michelini of River City Extension 07.19.09 @ M Room Philadelphia Back in July, Joe Michelini of River City Extension played and amazing solo set at our Bag Of Songs night at The M Room. This week I caught up with Joe via email to ask a few questions in advance of River City Extension heading to Philadlephia next Monday night September 7th for what's sure to be an outstanding show at The Fire. BOS: What inspired you to start the band? JM : [...]
While he's not too busy editing his school's magazine, heavy metal giant Lemmy and the rest of Motörhead are out dominating the world. According to Classic Rock Magazine , former Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver drummer Matt Sorum will replace longtime drummer Mikkey Dee for the band's upcoming tour. The reason? Dee will be appearing on the next installment of the Swedish version of the reality series I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! According to Lemmy himself: "I can't wait to see [...]
Ailment: Whiny, Argumentative, Short-Tempered, Ill-Humored Tart Duration: Too Fucking Long Cause: Too Involved To Go Into Cure: Two Wonderful Shows by Talented and Lovely Bands, ( well and some very helpful conversations with adored friends - you know who you are ) Details: I had a feeling it would be the case, and sure enough, I really needed a double dose of some kick-ass, good-energy music in a small venue where people just fucking enjoyed the music and weren't there to be seen or drink tequila shots off scantily-clad women in pirate outfits. I got [...]
