Starting with an impromptu invitation to John Vanderslice four years ago, I hosted a string of a dozen and an half bands on KZSU , including some of my favorite local bands. I've decided to compile some of my favorite songs from those sessions into a digital album that I'm offering here for free . I'm really excited about this and I hope you enjoy it half as much as I am. The download includes mp3s of all the songs, the album art as a jpg and a special cut-out [...]
The Ian Fays back in Italy! Vi ricordate le due adorabili gemelline californiane delle Ian Fays ? Il loro album di debutto, The Damon Lessons , pubblicato da Homesleep nel 2006, era stato una delle belle scoperte di quella primavera, tra abbracci acustici ed elettronica polverosa. Ebbi anche il piacere di averle dal vivo a polaroid (ehi, due volte!), fecero un sacco di concerti e ancora più "aperitivi", probabilmente la parola italiana che meglio ricordano. L'anno [...]

The Ian Fays bestaat uit de zusjes Sara Fay, Lizz Fay, Lena Fay en… ene Bradley op drums. Er waren waarschijnlijk even geen drummers voorradig in de familie Fay. De band is al enige jaren actief en hun muziek past...
1999: uh, tipo, dieci anni fa Nonostante tutto, me lo ricordo abbastanza bene quel 26 maggio 2006. A Bologna si annusava già l'estate, io abitavo in un'altra casa, i Radio Dept. avevano da poco pubblicato il loro secondo album e all'Estragon arrivavano i Babyshambles di Pete Doherty. Ma per me il vero evento era la prima e imprevedibile discesa in Italia dei Suburban Kids With Biblical Names . Grazie a Paola di Homesleep, che organizzò ogni cosa, e a Lucio che fece da driver e fotografo [...]
Meric of the Dodos at the Cafe du Nord during Noise Pop by Adrian Bischoff I'm sure you're just about tired of my year end lists -don't worry: this is my second to last.

Silian Rail at this year's Rock Make Street Festival , August 24, 2008 If you've been following my radio show playlists over the last couple months, you'll have noticed that I've been playing one band pretty consistently: SF locals Silian Rail .
