After a few listens of shoegaze act Last Tide's debut EP, The Broken Places , I thought to myself, "BROOKLYN!" But no, this is a DC-based band featuring Nate Frey on guitars/vox, Rob Miller on bass, Libby Dorot on synth/vox, and Misha Alexander on drums/vox. The band draws inspiration from early ninties post-punk and shoegazer acts as well as honoring the scene with lo-fi recordings and dreary vocals. Last Tide don't modernize the genre though, they nearly replicate that era to the tee. Take that however you want, but the band [...]

Keep An Eye On The Sky is a 4-CD box set of rarities from Big Star, and is in stores tomorrow.

Photography "My Shaved Gams & Kapu" by Me ! See those sexy gams up there? Yep, those are mine and they are ready... At 7:15am on Saturday morning, we begin riding another 100 mile charity ride. Last time, we kick some diabetes ass -- Bicycle Mixtape is still up!!! -- this time it's cancer and it's the Pelotonia [...]
I like to listen to the contrast podcast while I ride my bike. It really makes the time fly by, although it's a little hard to ride uphill when I'm laughing. Anyway, what with the theme being "bicycles" this week (which you can listen to here ), you'd think I would have had no trouble choosing a song to submit. Well, of course I did have trouble, mainly because I didn't pick a track from Bombay [...]
Seit 4 Tagen und noch 10 Tage läuft unser Voting für die grössten Schweizer Hits. Zeit, einen Zwischenstand durchzugeben. Unser Voting hat ziemlich weite Kreise gezogen. Blick online hat die Aktion gross auf der Startseite gebracht, NEWS hat die 25 Songs auf einer halben Seite vorgestellt, 20Minuten hat bereits das zweite Mal berichtet. Die fiesesten Klatschreporter der Schweiz haben Gefallen an der Aktion gefunden, genauso die bekannteste Bloglady der Schweiz . Das freut uns natürlich sehr, genau so war es gedacht. Schliesslich sollen die Damen [...]
I've written several times about singing sister acts, and there are a lot of fans who still remember the Fontanes, the Andrews Sisters and others. But one of the earliest and best of the sister groups might be a little less familiar, and that's a shame because the Boswell Sisters were supremely talented. The Boswell Sisters were New Orleans natives who began their careers in the 1920s by showcasing their instrumental talents in vaudeville-style theaters around their home city. Oldest sister Martha was a pianist and the youngest, Helvetia (Vet), played guitar, violin and banjo. Middle [...]
A very serious bicycle accident happened to fellow Westerville Bicycle Club member and ride leader Steve Barbour. He was hit by a truck on his way to lead a COP ride on Saturday morning, July 18th on Cemetery Rd. in Hilliard, OH at 6:00 a.m. They were both going westbound. Hilliard police say the pick-up driver caused the accident that seriously injured the Columbus cyclist early Saturday morning. Edward S. Miller, [...]
Seattle based band Helvetia's follow up to last years acclaimed 'The Acrobats' and fourth record, 'Helvetia's Junk Shop', is an intimate and personal collection of songs that puts one into a surrealistic yet calming state of mind. This time more than just an an ode to the lo-fi world of cassette 4-track recording, Helvetia present themselves as pop experimentalists that add atmospheric guitar work and droning organs layered into a sometimes rootsy, sometimes lo-fi, and often psychedelic mix. 'Helvetia's Junk Shop' will be released on September 15th, 2009 but for [...]
The Prids tribute album "Dots To Connect" out now During the summer of 2008, Portland, OR indie band The Prids took to the road in support of their " Something Difficult " EP. On July 20th while on their way to Los Angeles, the band and two of their loved ones were severely injured when a blown tire caused their van to crash on I-5 in Southern California. Their vehicle was totaled and all of their equipment destroyed. After the accident, the [...]

New Releases: Thrice, Muse, Every Time I Die
Quite a week. New ones from Thrice , Muse , Black Dahlia Murder , Every Time I Die , It Dies Today , Megadeth , Protest the Hero , Porcupine Tree ... you get the point. Not to mention two remastered Sunny Day Real Estate records for you emo purists. Also, I hate admitting this, but the lead single of that Pete Yorn / Scarlett Johansson collaboration album actually wasn't half bad. Whoops. :: A Sunny Day in Glasgow , [...]

Die grössten Schweizer Hits: Das sind sie
Grosi-TV kann seine Sendung abblasen. 78s hat gesucht und gefunden: Das sind die grössten Schweizer Hits. Die Schweiz hat ihn, ihren grössten Hit: Er heisst "Too Much" und kommt von Bonaparte. Fast ein Viertel aller Stimmen konnte der Song für sich verbuchen. Mithalten konnte da nur Kutti MC mit "St. Helvetia". Der drittplatzierte Song "Into the Cryp of Rays" folgt dann bereits mit deutlichem Abstand. Die gesamte Rangliste der grössten [...]

78s sucht die grössten Schweizer Hits – der zweite Zwischenstand
Noch bis am Sonntagabend läuft unser Voting für die grössten Schweizer Hits. Der zweite Zwischenstand. Leider wurde der Kurier mit den Resultaten von Sven Epiney so sehr bezirzt, dass Gabriela Amgarten unbemerkt die ersten Seiten klauen konnte.

78s sucht die grössten Schweizer Hits: Jetzt abstimmen!
Die Suche nach dem grössten Schweizer Hit geht in die entscheidende Runde. Ab sofort könnt ihr für die 25 Finalisten abstimmen. Bevor wir zum Wesentlichen kommen, müssen wir noch eine Leserfrage beantworten. Sven Epiney hat uns letzte Woche angerufen und gefragt, was denn ein Hit sein. Er hätte immer gemeint, Hits seien Songs, die Gabriela Amgarten aussucht. Also, lieber Sven: Ein Hit ist nicht einfach ein kommerziell erfolgreicher Song, der niemandem weh tut und allen irgendwie gefällt. Aber auch ein unglaublich guter Song ist nicht zwingend ein Hit.

Helvetia – Helvetia's Junk Shop
Helvetia is not your typical rock band. Their music is not of the loud head banging variety, nor is it the soft angst ridden emo music currently heard all over the radio. No, Helvetia is different. Helvetia is that rare breed of rock band that is not only talented, but also very [...]
