Andrew Belle's newest LP, The Ladder , will be (self) released February 23, 2010, and we've got a brilliant little preview track for you in "Static Waves". Perfectly suited for any primetime soap-opera (or, in today's age, any show, really), "Static Waves" mixes in Belle's baritone folk tone with Katie Herzig's delicate and airy harmony. The orchestral mix of strings, bells and keys makes "Static Waves" an immediate go-getter. Bottom line: It's a pop treaure; one that you'll soon be hearing on TV and everyone will be going, "what's that song??" But you, my friends, will know. [...]

The summer of 2003 was a hot one in eastern Washington, and my concrete bunker of an apartment contained the heat like no other. Granted, the above image wasn't shot by yours truly until 2004, but it sure seemed hot enough to ignite even the least combustible of items. I wrapped up my undergraduate that December, which was cold as Antarctica, and upon that milestone I moved to Seattle. It was a good year for the Northwest; many of my favorite albums came from Seattle labels like Sub Pop and Barsuk. As for the list, I've [...]
Årtiet lakker så småt mod enden, og i den anledning har Frekvens kigget tilbage på de bedste plader fra perioden 2000 – 2009. Alle redaktionens medlemmer har således indleveret deres top 25 lister over årtiets plader, og de er nu blevet regnet sammen til Frekvens' definitive top 60 over årtiets bedste albums. Ikke mindre end 145 albums har været med i overvejelserne, men Arcade Fires debut endte med at blive den suveræne vinder, af et i øvrigt utroligt stærkt felt. Death Cab For Cutie forsangeren Ben Gibbards hyggeprojekt The Postal Service rendte med 2. pladsen, blandt andet foran to [...]
Originally inspired by the Bowlie Weekender with Belle and Sebastian in 1999, All Tomorrow's Parties has turned into something of a global phenomenon - albeit in a cult-ish sort of way, an experience like no other, and now an experience that has made it on to the silver screen with ATP: The Film. Those interested in ATP tend to be so in a very dedicated fashion and as such, much of the material in this film has been compiled using footage taken by over 200 musicians, fans and filmmakers; leaving the lucky editor with about 600 hours to sift through [...]
Elvis Perkins In Dearland w/ A.A. Bondy Mercy Lounge, Nashville, TN Tuesday, November 17, 2009 If you were at the Mercy Lounge Tuesday night, you never would have guessed that Nashville had been experiencing sunshine and 75 degree temperatures just two days earlier. It seemed like everyone in attendance had spent the indian summer weekend digging their winter clothes out of the back of the closet. Every other person was wearing either a sweater, scarf, knit hat, or some combination of the [...]

New stuff from Belle and Sebastian project.
Influental indie band Belle & Sebastian have not released a proper album since 2006's "The Life Pursuit" which was nothing short of exceptional. Then Stuart Murdoch started working on his God Help the Girl project and any plans for the band to make any new albums had been... Click the link to read more
[ download ] [tweetmeme] After releasing a couple of EPs over the past four years, Princeton made their full-length debut in late September with Cocoon of Love . The band has its roots in Santa Monica, California, where twin brothers Jesse & Matt Kivel met Ben Usen as kids. During a year spent together in London, the trio decided to parlay their longstanding friendship into a musical endeavor, adding drummer David Kitz to the lineup upon their return to Los Angeles. Their collaboration has yielded a brand of indie-pop that [...]
Hoy empiezo el recuento de mis temas favoritos del 2009, un año de muy buenos lanzamientos y retornos esperados (The Cribs ,Maxïmo Park, Kings of Convenience, Sondre Lerche, Phoenix) sin decepcionar. Un año de bandas nuevas que retumbaron en las paredes de mi habitación (The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, Papercuts, Girls). Un año de conciertos memorables (Radiohead, Kraftwerk, Oasis, Depeche Mode, Tiga, Babasonicos). Espero que el 2010 se aun mejor, pero disfrutemos de lo que queda de este lapso de tiempo. No [...]
Ben Walpole wishes he were British, fronting Pulp in 1995. Patrick Helmes wishes he were playing lead for Megadeth in 1988. But cruel fate has instead placed them both in the Minor Leagues , playing insidiously catchy indiepop for most of the last decade from their Cincinnati, Ohio homebase. It's truly amazing how much the members contrast but at the same time how much they work together to create absolutely fabulous pop music. These guys are so hyper active and perky that their songs are by far more cheery then either of their [...]
Então. Na onda de mistério que tem contagiado o pessoal da música, ultimamente, o Belle & Sebastian postou uma foto bem na entrada do site deles que diz o seguinte: "Aqui estão provas de atividade pra assegurar vocês que estão pirando na seção de perguntas e respostas. Olhem atrás do Stuart... aquilo é um disco novo do b&s no horizonte?" Todo mundo tá com um humor bem misterioso ultimamente, né? Mais informações no próximo episódio.
Sarah of Belle & Sebastian has an Etsy shop ? Yup. And she's got good taste in fabric. Of course.

Emo kids will forever remember where they were the moment NME sent the following fateful tweet : " Fall Out Boy have split up, apparently." While no story link followed, it seems the statement checks out. Contact Music is reporting that the band is no more - and that guyliner icon Pete Wentz blames himself for its dissolution. It seems he feels his personal life (Hi, Ashlee!) became a "hindrance" to the group's progress. Here's the quote Contact plucks from a Kerrang! magazine interview: My biggest personal reason [...]
Log onto belleandsebastian.com right this very second and you'll find an image of Belle & Sebastian frontman Stuart Murdoch writing in a notebook amidst the background of a rather scenic city skyline. Below that reads the following: "Here's some evidence of activity to reassure you kids who are fretting on the Q&A's . Look behind Stuart...could that be another B&S record on the horizon?" If you're not one for words, here is the image in question, for your viewing purposes... [...]
God Help The Girl - Stills An update email from God Help The Girl , brimming with news on the tour, a new EP, the film and more. Here goes: "The second installment of songs from last year's recordings is now available digitally. The 'Stills' EP features five songs which didn't make the album, but which were recorded at the same time in Glasgow, with some orchestral parts being added in [...]
Inspiration courtesy of The Guardian Every DJ knows you need a toilet track. Unless you're hardcore and you get a catheter or a colostomy bag put in, in which case I salute your dedication. The rest of us, however, must make do with a toilet track. The Guardian addressed this very state of affairs this morning in the music section, which in turn inspired me to make a list of my Top 10 Toilet Tracks - as I used to DJ quite frequently and often needed at least one. Perhaps not the most tasteful topic [...]
MP3 : Generationals - Angry Charlie (live on Laundromatinee.com ) Many moons ago, My Old Kentucky Blog hosted a band from New Orleans called The Eames Era for an MOKB SIRIUS XMU Blog Radio session . With the band now defunct, two members of that band, Ted Joyner and Grant Widmer, formed a new project they dubbed Generationals . This year, they signed to Park The Van Records [...]
