[Happy birthday to Neil Young. Happy show-going to you, on a busy Thursday night:] The lineup of the night is surely at the Echoplex, where shoegazey psych-rockers Dead Meadow headline. Imaad Wasif and the Growlers — each of whom recently released new albums — support, as does Useless Keys , who are finishing up new recordings that will probably see release in January. ... Jonesing for "Santa Monica"? Art Alexakis has a new lineup surrounding him in Everclear (the new album [...]
By Frank Phosphate Fuck Buttons / Growing (Hailey's): Fuck Buttons, or F*ck Buttons as you might see them referred to frequently, are grabbing at the torch for the electronic shoegaze set. M83 were towing the line there for awhile for electro-gazers, but to the dismay of most (me not included), Gonzalez has taken a much more pop oriented turned with M83's recent work. There is no "Frank and Jessie" to be found on Button's [...]

Mission of Burma The Sound The Speed The Light Matador Exhibiting the rawness and aggression of a band half their age, Mission of Burma's third post-reunion album, The Sound, The Speed, The Light, has more in common with the early-to-mid '80s output of this seminal Boston post-punk band than with either of the two albums which directly preceded it. "1, 2, 3 Partyy!" and "Good Cheer" are as bold, direct and anthemic as any of their classic cuts, including "Academy Fight Song," "This Is Not a Photograph," and "That's How I [...]
The week Drake gets freaky with the latest from Flight of the Conchords and Atlas Sound . -ed. Drake's Take: New Releases 10.20.09 Like last week, those who'd already made their top albums list for the year (or decade, eh, P4k?) are out of luck, as another couple releases can slide right in. First one being Logos from Atlas Sound (Deerhunter's Bradford Cox) and another being the latest from the UK duo F*ck Buttons . Other new releases of note come from [...]

First one being the latest from Atlas Sound (Deerhunter's Bradford Cox) and another being the Polaris prize winner from F*ck Buttons.

* It's no Pirate Bay, but The Free Music Archive , a project recently launched by WFMU, can be a veritable treasure trove of free and legal music, if you know where to look. With my abundance of free time I was able to pursue much of the 6,000 song catalog and found more than a few releases of interest, including a limited edition EP by the San Fran garage/psych band, Thee Oh Sees , live sets from The Box Elders , Cheetah Chrome , Psychedelic Horsesh*t , Parts and Labor , [...]

Next month, St. Augustine, Florida will host a three-day outdoor music festival will be held to benefit Harvest of Hope at St. Johns County Fairgrounds. The nonprofit organization was founded in Gainesville, Florida a little over a decade ago to provide social services to migrant farm workers and their families in the U.S. Since then, HOH has raised and spent over $500,000 to pay for gas, tires, car repairs, rent, utilities, medical services, food, clothing, funeral expenses and educational scholarships in low income migrant worker communities.

Extremely displeased by bully boy tactics. I checked my email this morning to find an email from Blogger saying that links had been removed 'Blogger has been notified, according to the terms of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), that certain content in your blog infringes upon the copyrights of others.' Now, I cannot actually check the article concerned, which was an interview with James Allan of Glasvegas, because it was removed. Yes, not just the mp3 (which I had believed that I had removed, given that I allowed my account to lapse with the file [...]
Lucinda Williams releases her album tomorrow, Little Honey , which finds the singer-songwriter surprisingly content. Vic Chesnutt, Elf Power, and The Amorphous Strums' Dark Developments combines some of my favorite musicians in this release from Orange Twin. The week's release list is filled with worthwhile music, from what I have already heard I can recommend The Courteeners' St. Jude , Frances' All the While , Hearts of Palm UK's For Life [...]
