The Decemberists aren't the only band in Portland, Ore., that knows a good historical fiction yarn when it hears (or spins) one. The Dimes' second full-length, The King Can Drink The Harbour Dry (out December 1 on Pet Marmoset/Timber Carnival), features a range of sunny-side-up ditties that'll have you searching Wikipedia in vain for references. Singer/songwriter [...]
The King Can Drink the Harbor Dry (Pet Marmoset Records) [ANTIQUE POP] Dimes, can you spare a brother? Spare me your tedious mid-tempo strumming, wan melodies, sedate vocals, and especially, your humorless lyrical gloss on a CliffsNotes summary of a high-school American history textbook. Yes, your sophomore release, The King Can Drink the Harbor Dry, sure sounds pretty at first, with its tastefully restrained acoustic arrangements and careful harmonies—but it doesn't take too many similar-sounding songs for those qualities to become liabilities. And I had to get [...]
Part 1 By: Michael Tapscott Sade Sunday's sat cold with a lingering spirit, an unnamed and undefined amorphous blob that cried out, "you have a commitment here fellows!" So, I met with Josh, on a Wednesday, in his bedroom. As we rotated seats between his couch and his bed to play tracks of our own choosing that the other person could care less about, I thought to myself, "this shall not do." Josh and I met in Indiana University, our musical sophistication lies in those backwaters where we weaned each [...]

Two quick items notes. First, Invaders were amazing live. While on record, you could sorta pinpoint where they came from and where they're going - a little shoegaze here, and little stoner metal there. Live, they're something completely different. Invaders are not really anything. They're not space rock, they're not shoegaze... they're vaguely rock and roll mixed with something sinister. Essentially, they've created a new sound. Not only is that a huge compliment, but it's heartwarming to know that there's music coming out of Louisville that is truly new. Invaders are a major force in this. [...]
Yeah, so evidently the "Fruit Bats" are playing a "show" across town and some dudes are worried that they're going to have to choose between our show featuring a band named after a New World primate and the other show featuring a band named after a winged rodent. That's a bummer, man. So here, I'll help you out. Let's do a little cost-benefit analysis. Is the cost of being a wuss worth the benefit of seeing some sweet Sub Pop gentle indie jangle? Didn't think so - we'll see you at the sick Marmoset, Invaders, Harlequins gig tonight [...]

Les Savy Fav @ Brooklyn Masonic Temple in March ( more by Natasha Ryan ) For some, 9/9/09, is a special date because it is the last time we will see single-digit repeating numbers in a date until January 1, 2101. According to Livescience.com, 9/9/09 is significant to numerologists because the number 9 is, to coin a term, "yingyangy." In other words, it is associated with noble qualities such as forgiveness, compassion and success and ignoble qualities such as arrogance and self-righteousness. Some are excited about 09/09/09 because Tim Burton 's [...]

Lots going on this week, but very little that really excites me. I've bolded the few shows and/or bands that interest me enough to consider seeing. Oh, and if you're a Pash fan, I recommend that you get out to the Black Cat tomorrow night. I've heard that their lead singer, Meredith - who was also in Title Tracks until recently - is moving (or has moved) to Austin, so you're probably not gonna be seeing them again anytime soon.
