Notes upon listening to Yo Gabba Gabba: Music Is . . . Awesome five times in the past two days: - I had no idea what Yo Gabba Gabba was until the promo copy arrived in my mailbox on Wednesday. My cluelessness is due to the fact that (a) pretty much all my TV viewing nowadays is Hulu -based, (b) I don't have kids, and (c) I don't do drugs. However, after looking at the album cover and doing some quick internet researching - which mainly consisted of this article from Slate [...]
The latest finds from the Treasure Trove, starts here... It makes sense that in a year following a reunion by one of the highlights of shoegaze, My Bloody Valentine, and a late-period masterpiece by the former Red House Painter Mark Kozelek (as Sun Kil Moon), that Greensboro, North Carolina's Citified would return with Absence –a record that splits the difference between the softly driven lyrical work of the latter and the hazy crunch of the former. Think about Swervedriver's gift for finding the classic pop and rock structures beneath the murk of shoegaze [...]
is it just me or does jesu seem more at home here than on hydra head? doth broadrick on these records not have more in common with the fuzzy slo-mo murmurings of mark kozelek and alan sparhawks rockist tendencies? i think so. in fact i'd be so bloody bold (though not really) to say that this shit is just red house painters turned way the fuck up. actually that's a pretty stupid thing to come out with. retraction, your honour. anyhoo. this is the new ep. and all my favourite jesu shit comes out on ep.

Three weeks ago I posted a list of my 50 favorite albums of the past decade. You can catch up with that here , here , here , here , and here , if you'd like. While drafting the list I found that I rediscovered plenty of albums that were and are still worthy of more attention, even though they ultimately weren't included on the finished product. It was extremely difficult to cut many of them, especially those made by lesser-known artists. So starting last week, continuing today, and for the next 2 Mondays I'll [...]

The world changes you like the leaves in the bitter fall, and we are these leaves; all part of a grand tree ever-growing. Memories of our childhood float slowly through our minds and are gone again like a summer shadow. Pain. Joy. Hate. Love. Frowning. Smiling. Music. Silence… These elements of life mold us, shape us, color us and break us. And we forget… "Have You Forgotten" by Red House Painters is my inspiration this morning. It is a soothing acoustic ballad of life's memories; [...]
Flaming Lips - "Watching the Planets" . Sometimes you reach for that crystal bottle because you want it to shatter. You want to grab it with your pink pretty hand and pour a dollop of wine and then when you take a sip - for all the monster in you to sour and redden, for your tendons to burst your gown and your eyes to glow like furnaces. You've taken a little drinky-drink, late at night, alone . And you know what that means, you know what that's supposed to mean; it means you're going to monster. Stand up [...]

Modest Mouse - The Moon and Antarctica (2000) GLENN: I had such high hopes for The Lonesome Crowded West . But it turned to be a droney, overlong, emoish Pixies ripoff. I dug a few tracks, but soon filed it away and returned to Fugazi. A few years later my friends were talking about "this great new band, Modest Mouse," and the record they just picked up at Best Buy. I shrugged and picked up The Moon & Antarctica , but again, it was a little...well...iffy. [...]

Sons and daughters, it's been awhile since we've last heard the words of Brother Sparhawk, be it in the form of Low or his awe-inspiring solo guitar forays. Either way, we have been feeling the loss and it has taken its toll upon our withered souls. It has also been a hot minute since Brother Sparhawk has entranced us with his Retribution Gospel Choir . Last we spoke, they were speaking the word of drudge on buddy (and former member) Mark Kozelek's Caldo Verde label. But the pulpit grows long in tooth, my sons and daughters, and [...]
Australian folkie Ned Collette has taken up with a band for his third album proper, and on first single, "Come Clean," they come correct - for the ordinarily elusive songwriter, it's a well-grounded rocker with a slow-burning Zeppelin-by-way-of-Sun Kil Moon guitar riff. But like SKM's Mark Kozelek, Ned's voice is as evocative as ever, floating above the inferno like an ashy, accented ghost. Ned Collette and Wirewalker - "Come Clean" : mp3 (As previously reported , Over The Stones, Under The Stars is out later this [...]

What Should I Buy This Week? [New Releases For 11/3/09]
Halloween has ended, and the parade of ghouls and goblins has passed us by. But now the days grow shorter, the air colder and more bitter, and our pre-holiday-season anxiety just that much more pronounced. What can soothe our itchy psyches during this uncomfortable time? Well, just this week we've got plenty of poultice for the soul on tap, from a warm-blooded, open-hearted troubadour to some star-quality practitioners of twinkly, groove-kissed '80s-esque pop, some sci-fi hip-hop, and a treasure trove of lost gems from old lo-fi fave.

Retribution Gospel Choir:
Retribution Gospel Choir, a band that includes two members of Low, has signed to Sup Pop. Less of a slowcore group than Low, Retribution Gospel Choir has a mellow, emotive sound with rough edges. The band's debut came out in March 2008 on Caldo Verde Records, which is run by Mark Kozelek (the frontman of Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon). A new album, entitled 2 , will be released by Sub Pop on Jan. 26, and the members will tour North America that month.
