kim zuniga The ennui of off-season cheerleading practice, lifeguarding to save up for a longboard, scheming to elope to Tijuana with my summer camp sweetheart: I can just recall July at sixteen. Neverever have made themselves strangely at home in that moment. While debut Angelic Swells (Slumberland, 2010) was rife with school year angst, the band's new EP evokes the agony and ecstasy of summer vacation. But in the tradition of fellow Angelenos Suburban Lawns, Neverever's kitsch is freed from nostalgia by the grotesque realities of adolescence. [...]

Whitney BB! I miss u SO much! Ur voice was INCREDIBLE, but more importantly, ur BODY stayed BANGIN throughout all those years. Even when u were FREE BASING crack cocaine, it was clear that u were still STRONG, and u NEVER lost ur teeth. At the end of the day, I will ALWAYS love u, just like that 1 song that u sing. Ugh. I NEED a #Bodyguard... especially if he is as HOT as Kevvy Costner. U really coulda used a bodyguard 2 keep u safe from the dangerous bathtub. Maybe more like a lifeguard. One summer, [...]
Just like lots of other folks in the blog world, we get sent lots of material that is still at the demo stage. It's to be expected seeing as we tend to operate among the bottom layers of the underground music scene, so we expect a broad range of finishes to the work received. However, some is surprisingly polished and it just goes to show how much effort goes into new bands from the outset - something that's required to get noticed, particularly by record labels, if you want any chance of being signed in a very competitive environment, where [...]

Happy Russian Wilds Day! That's right our own San Francisco Peninsula psychedelic rock outfit Howlin Rain has released their bluesy and directionless fifth album to the masses. I say directionless because if you listen to Phantom In The Valley , you'll find enough genres to keep you listening on repeat. Singer Ethan Miller rages with mystical power and lifting soulfulness as the band is shaken alive with razor sharp and ramblin' sonic venom and dead-on jazz-like surgery. Russian Wilds is sweet harmonies and dynamite wailing pulled from a fragile web into a adamantium-strong [...]

SINGAPORE : I'm Waking Up To... Obedient Wives Club - Fragments The first release by 60s indie-pop distributors Happy Teardrop Music is the debut self-titled EP by Obedient Wives Club, and what a hit it's been with all physical copies selling out within a month. The band, cheekily named after a controversial Muslim organisation of the same name, plays a delightful blend of girly noise-pop - or what they helpfully term "Spectorgaze". [...]

In honor of Valentine's Day, we present your choice of playlist: Nobody Loves Me and Top 10 Sexy Songs . Whether you view today as a celebration of love, or a reminder of the absence of it, we've got the perfect soundtrack for you. Happy Valentine's Day.-Ed. The "dating scene" is much akin to a Russian land war in winter—it's brutal, brutish, unwinnable, and full of casualties. And I am well-equipped to give a report from the trenches—in all of my years on this lovely planet, I have never had a date on Valentine's Day. [...]

Other Lives / Brillobox / 02.22.2012 / Doors 9:30 / $10 Words by Brendan Other Lives have come a long way from humble beginnings as Kunek in Stillwater, OK. Their cinematic folk rock has caught the ears of many fans and earned them a spot on tour with Bon Iver last year and now a string of dates with Radiohead (Yeah! That Radiohead !) this month and next. Seriously, 5 days after this show at [...]
Terius Nash introducing Casha – 'Silly' (chosen by Alan Reilly) So here we are at Valentine's Day - the most redundant and fickle of all make-believe celebrations - and romance lingers in the air like the putrid stench of a rotting relationship. A man very lucky in the fleshy side of things, The-Dream's career is a veritable chronicle of sexual conquests, our boy Terius Nash doesn't fare too well with anything long-term (he's just split from fellow song-writing mogul Christina Milian, yeah her from 'Dip It Low' fame.) Due to record company complications, Nash [...]

First of all time I discovered Flex Seal, I assumed, What the heck is that this? And So I test just a few online websites that have Flex Seal critiques and also to my wonder, its an outstanding product for securing breaks and leaking! And coming from one of the many Flex Seal critiques I always checked, the actual guy seriously gaps on a bucket and utilized Flex Seal and enclosed the holes perfectly! For making things even astounding Flex Seal reviews is really a bottle of spray on sealant, building its application pretty [...]

I first heard about Sketchy Waze when he entered the Funk Volume Don't Fu[n]k Up Our Beats contest. From the second I clicked on his entry, I was blown away. The Boise, Idaho native is turning heads at an impressive rate with his speedy delivery countered by melodious hooks giving him the perfect harmony. But much like the Boise St. Broncos, he's underrated, and overlooked because of the region he is in. But believe me, Sketchy can hang with anybody. Find out why by reading our interview with the talented Sketchy Waze after the jump. During [...]

Here they are, your playlists suited for whatever you may have planned tomorrow... Got a date? You'd better run out and buy a CD-R, because you are going to want to burn our lovely love playlist for your sweetheart. However, if you haven't got anything planned and thus feel rather rotten about the upcoming holiday, then you can probably just download the Anti-Love Playlist to your iPod, Computer, or Zune (what's that?) and prepare your darkest room for a lonely evening... Of course, you could always get some heart-shaped pizzas from Papa John's and marathon a television show with some [...]

MTV is at it again. Instead of sticking to what they know (tanned douche bags and pregnant teenagers), they have to come and remind us that they occasionally dabble in the music scene. MTV Jams is the only worthy contribution MTV has made to my life outside of JWoww. The annual Hottest MC list has become a piñata for rap fans, and the release of the list inspired me to grab my literary bat and bash it until mini-liquor bottles and condoms fall out (after seeing one of these piñatas at my friend's birthday party a few years [...]

Photo from myspace.com/mieka Boston-born songwriter Mieka Pauley has been doing something that has proven popular among artists these days- she reached out to music-lovers through a fan-funding platform to support her upcoming record The Science of Making Choices . The key to getting people excited about an album, or any creative project, and thus motivated to help make it happen is to keep them involved in the process every step of the way. That's exactly what Pauley has been doing, and so far she's gotten more than what she bargained for in donations. [...]

NO seemed to materialize out of nowhere last fall, a DIY quintet with a seemingly career-assassinating name, fronted by a genial man with a Kiwi accent, and dispensing hopeful, noir-ish indie-rock that recalls the National. The genial man is Bradley Hanan Carter, who first came to the U.S. as guitarist/backup singer for New Zealand rockers Steriogram. How Carter got from his hometown of Whangarei (pop. 52,000, and the birthplace of Keith Urban) to the U.S. is a story of ambition and good fortune — both of which seemed exhausted by the time in 2010 he found himself [...]
Right up until regarding 5 a few months back, gold was on a fairly constant rise with regard to around 8 decades. Many understand this current suffering because proof the ride is finished, but a look at the issues for the rise and also the tendencies with the earlier show that fear is actually without basis. Because mentioned, gold have been on a fairly constant rise; the truth is, there were dips with this rise, one lasting 8 a few months. Additionally, a few declare that gold offers far surpass the optimum values attained in the [...]

We Are Augustines by Julia Stryj By Julia Stryj I arrive at the Picturehouse in Edinburgh to interview We Are Augustines just after their sound check for their gig as support to Frightened Rabbit. When I meet the "lovely and beautiful" (I am sure that is how bassist Eric Sanderson described her very correctly in an interview I listened to) Arwen, their manager, she apologises right away and tells me that everything is running behind schedule. The band hasn't even started their sound check yet. Billy McCarthy (vocal/guitar) [...]

There is a well-known state of weather. And it's not Spring, Fall, Winter or Summer. I call it 'Soup Weather' and it can strike at any time, be it on a cold snowy day or a warmish Spring night. You may not call it soup weather, but I believe you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. You see, soup weather is less about the temperature outside and more about your state of being inside. I like to think it is the weather of our mood. Soup weather is staying home from work with a cold. Soup weather [...]
