I managed to catch mc chris live just the other day with I Fight Dragons and Whole Wheat Bread as they rolled through, nearing the end of their fall tour. All three acts really brought the house down. Currently, mc chris is promoting the final installment in the three part "part six" album. If you recall, part one and part two each contained songs based on Star Wars bounty hunters IG-88 and Zuckuss, respectively. Well part three [...]
I was drawn to the fifteenth anniversary of The Double Door in Chicago on a whim. These guys were performing a free show, and until that point, I hadn't heard much about them. The crowd was one of the most diverse I had seen at a concert in a long time. When [...]

Not since an early teenage flirtation with Dungeons & Dragons has State ever really embraced the role playing genre with anything even approaching gusto, so it's a testament to just how good Dragon Age: Origins is that we've lost sleep, been late for work and even spent time on a bus worrying about which Dwarven faction for the vacant King-ship we should align ourselves with. You play as one of the last Grey Wardens, a legendary line of dark warriors who have traditionally protected the kingdom of Ferelden from the darkspawn, a race of [...]

Somehow travel and music make a perfect combination. When you're dozing through an endless plane ride, your favorite song can be a comfort; when you're riding the train through a new and startling country, listening to music can heighten your experience. And when you're daydreaming at your desk on a rainy afternoon, the right song can transport you wherever you need to go. Here are six great new songs, all available as MP3 downloads, to take with you on your next journey: Glasser - Glad (Delorean Remix) JJ [...]

In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book. Lydia Millet is one of my favorite writers, and her first collection of short fiction, Love in Infant Monkeys marries celebrities with animals to great effect. These keenly written interactions of human and animal move these tales forward and offer rare insights into the human psyche as well as our celebrity-obsessed culture. The Los Angeles Times wrote of the book: "Lydia Millet's first [...]

Bonnie "Prince" Billy - Death To Everyone (Live) Bonnie "Prince" Billy & Red - Puff, The Magic Dragon
"Island of Broken Glass" is from Dragon Turtle 's new album, Almanac - a convergence of the formerly tranquil twisted and interrupted by cosmic schism drawn from acoustic and electric guitar, occasional keys, dreamy & noisy soundscapes , and submerged vocals. This album may be best served on a slow to acclimate Sunday morning when you've awoken discombobulated from the night before. The [...]

It's going to be my album of the year, at least based on its placing in my top 5 of all albums released this decade, but I still didn't know for certain every lyric to every song on the album, which was mildly annoying. Sunset Rubdown hadn't included a lyric sheet with the album's release and although I'd waded through the threads on the Wolf Parade forums and on songmeanings.net at various times this year, there were enough discrepancies to throw me off on more than one lyric in more than one [...]
by marissa bea Another nifty collection of More Music , where we highlight some newly released material plus a few other songs that we may have bypassed upon first listen. We've got a wide array today bouncing from Beastie Boys mash ups to some stellar female vocalists, but let's kick it off with the song of the week. Bella Union shared the first single off the upcoming Beach House album titled Teen Dream . The track is titled "Norway" and serves as an eerie [...]
Photo courtesy of Little Dragon's Myspace Page . Is there something in the water in Gothenburg, Sweden? The Knife, The Tough Alliance, Jose Gonzalez, Jens Lekman, and now Little Dragon – those damn Swedes just keep pumping out irresistible pop melodies in a variety of weird incarnations. Little Dragon's track "Runabout" is certainly a slice of quirky pop, but it is uniquely, wonderfully sun-soaked; the soundtrack to a leisurely bike ride on the nicest day of summer, when you're headed to your best friend's house or the beach or a BBQ. [...]

Considering my love for Koop and Little Dragon , and a huge fan of Yukimi Nagano's work before I even knew who she was, there was no way I could not post this. A mix by Supa Qool DJ Uncle Q , it highlights a couple of her lesser known jazzy tracks, as well as those favorites from Little Dragon. Big, big ups to The Couch Sessions for this one. Download it here. .. TRACK LISTING 1.) Koop – Whenever There Is [...]

The Fiery Furnaces have a new album called Take Me Round Again that was released digitally only on November 5th. In theory, Take Me Round Again is a collection of cover, but it is also a collection of alternate takes of previously released songs. In other words, it features the members of the Fiery Furnaces re-writing each other's work. As Eleanor (who accounts for 1/2 of the Fiery Furnaces) put it: "I've gotten into the habit of rewriting songs Matt has written, just as a way of practicing and singing at home. Originally, I had [...]
The end of the decade is nearly upon us which inevitably means everyone is about to start rolling out their "best of" lists. This proved to be a rather arduous task, but at the same time I had a lot of fun during the process as it forced me to go back and listen to a lot of albums that I hadn't heard in quite some time. It seems like we tend to get so caught up on trying to hear as much new music as possible that we forget to go back and appreciate many of the [...]
