Das amerikanische Label Lefse Records verschenkt eine Compilation. Bunte Mischung aus blumigen, frickeligen, Indietronica-mässige, kniddeligen Krams, Downbeat und Trip-Hop. Zwar ohne Hand und ohne Fuss, aber kopfmässig ist einiges an netten Songs dabei. Zumal, wenn man vorher das richtig Zeug geraucht hat. Bei den absolut unbekannten Künstlern kann man dann als angesagter Indie-Nerd auf Partys schon mal auf den Putz hauen. Was, du kennst Tape Deck Mountain, Calico Horse oder My Summer As A Salvation Soldier nicht? Hey, die sind total angesagt. Wo? Na da drüben, in Dingsbums, in Indie-Kniddel-Land. Phaseone - [...]
If you read the site with any regularity, you know I'm a big science fiction fan. Particularly, I'm a big Star Trek fan. Being a well known Star Trek fan, I've often been asked by non-fans where exactly they should start. Especially after this summer's JJ Abrams reboot, which it seems EVERYONE loved. The trick with Star Trek is, there's a lot of it. It's not like Star Wars, where you basically have 6 movies to choose from (and let's face it, it isn't hard to point at the good ones). Star Trek is a 45-year [...]
After posting about Alan Palomo's gear getting jacked in Sacramento yesterday, the dudes from Lefse contacted us to say thanks for the support. Lefse is a great label out of Sacramento that is home to a number of cool artists including Palomo's, Neon Indian . Considering the nice communication I had with them, I figured now would be a great time to rep their recent compilation. Following in the footsteps of Underwater Peoples , there own showcase features a lot of slow-burning, electro-tinged summer jams from up-and-comers like Neon Indian, Julian Lynch and [...]
I have to admit that this intro was a little harder than I expected to put together. I am a big fan of Drag The River or I wouldn't be slapping these tunes up here for people to get to know the band but wow the history here is daunting by itself. Couple that with the amount of work produced by the band and its members and I had a pretty huge project staring me in the face. Of course I didn't let that stop me from putting together a set of tapes that will hopefully show the [...]

Lefse Badass Compilation [zip] Our buddies over at Lefse Records have generously offered up a Free digital compilation for your listening pleasure. They're calling it Fall/Winter 2009. As I'm reluctant to give over to cold gusts and gray skies, I'd rather think of it as a badass collection of songs that will continue to deliver sun-drenched summery goodness all the way through spring and beyond. Focused generally on digital brilliance plus some singer/songwriter fun, the collection includes one of my favorite Neon Indian tracks, Should Have Taken [...]
It may not be so hard to land a bevy of free MP3s these days thanks to artists, labels, and PR companies practically throwing them at you from all directions looking to land the next buzz, but there comes a label compilation every so often that captures a bit of everything--and when it's free, you should snatch it up. With that in mind, Lefse is offering a comp featuring Julian Lynch (who has a new LP out titled Orange You Glad via his own Buffalo Songs label), Neon Indian , and Calico [...]
Lefse Records, the awesome label run out of a tree house in the northern part of our lovely state of California, is giving away 18 amazing tracks by various artists. Every artist on the compilation is on the Lefse label, and will/should be releasing new music in the near future. I'll give you a tracklist and a couple of recommended tracks. Make sure to check out Neon Indian, Phaseone, Julian Lynch, Tape Deck Mountain, and Sunnybrook. But also listen to everyone else on the album, don't be so close minded. Tracklist 1. My Summer As A [...]

Light Of Day was a movie that came out in 1987 starring Joan Jett and Michael J. Fox as two musicians struggling to make it in the tough, no-holds-barred world of the Cleveland bar scene. It was a box-office dud that went nowhere and is remembered now more for its (out-of-print) soundtrack and that Trent Reznor is in one scene for about two seconds. While the soundtrack itself is out of print, most of the songs on it were either from other albums to begin with or have since been included on other albums, so I'm not featuring [...]
![Survey Says: You Stink [Quantifying The Unquantifiable]](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/1540883_lg.jpg)
Remember in Dead Poets Society where they try to analyze poetry via graph and then Robin "O Captain My Captain" Williams tells them to rip up their books and then Eric Foreman's dad, Clarence Boddicker, makes House's friend kill himself? Well, people keep trying to quantify musical quality a la J. Evans Pritchard, Ph. D., with varied results. On one hand, you have Pandora, which uses its Music Genome Project to match up artists with similar artists based on a few hundred fairly objective measures—does it have acoustic guitar, does it have [...]
SR and DL contributed to this amazing post FRIDAY Yells at Eels / Stoogeaphilia /Forest Ward (The Fairmount) Last Men/ Red Faced Laughter / Bad Sports / Attractive and Popular / Ginsu Wives (Majestic Dwelling of Doom, 731 Texas St., Denton): So you've known this venue as The Eighth Continent , Wisconsin , and now under this new mouthful of a moniker. The Red Faced Laughter will probably always remind me of SHQ's [...]
