Click here to view the embedded video. God damn you Vampire Weekend. Why do you make it so hard for me to defend my positive feelings towards your material? Why do you constantly feel the need to remind me that I didn't go to Princeton (or Cornell or Dartmouth or Bryn Mawr)? Why do you have to rub your madras shirts and clever ironicism and frenetic energy in my midwestern face? I understand that I would be 30% more clever with a degree from an Ivy League school (or even someplace that [...]
[ download ] [tweetmeme] After releasing a couple of EPs over the past four years, Princeton made their full-length debut in late September with Cocoon of Love . The band has its roots in Santa Monica, California, where twin brothers Jesse & Matt Kivel met Ben Usen as kids. During a year spent together in London, the trio decided to parlay their longstanding friendship into a musical endeavor, adding drummer David Kitz to the lineup upon their return to Los Angeles. Their collaboration has yielded a brand of indie-pop that [...]
So the pretty lil event site Winter is the New Summer that Devin and I have been working on has officially launched in full! Whoo! Let's have a 750ml salute to that! We did a soft launch in October, then last week we introduced the poster concept and from this week on until the end of winter we will have a different member of the Portland scene acting as a Poster Boy or Poster Girl, holding up our event picks of the week, this week being Rocky formerly of the Hush and currently of [...]
tilidom.com Quand j'ai découvert ce groupe, The Da Vincis , par son single 50's Film ( mp3 via Team Clermont), je pensais que oui ce titre était génial, mais que ça pouvait tout à fait être le genre de morceau bien accrocheur et bien trompeur, le joli arbre tout vert devant qui cache la forêt toute décimée derrière. Surtout qu'avec un groupe de trois garçons tous âgés de moins de 18 ans, on ne pense pas forcément découvrir des merveilles. Et en fait pour la battle sur Listen2Fight avec Princeton [...]
"Sadie and Andy" - Princeton From its faux classical intro to its jaunty doo-wop melody and deadpan storytelling, "Sadie and Andy" is all craft and artifice. And pretty much irresistible. "I stock the milk and all the eggs there," Andy sings, catching Sadie up on his daily doings in the grocery store, "And all the herbal tea." Sadie is radically uninterested. It's been ten years. "I haven't thought of you at all," she says. "And I don't wish to know." It's the standard boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl, boy's-love-grows-with-loss, girl-could-care-less story, [...]
We featured the PINKNOISE family as the Indian representative in the November edition of the Music Alliance Pact . The song we featured, 'Dream Dream', comes from a soon to be released live DVD called Quirkwork that features the Kolkata rock act performing at the Princeton Club in their hometown. While the band had earlier posted footage from the DVD on YouTube, they're now offering a six song MP3 sampler available for download via their Bandcamp page. The tracks for download are 'Junk' 'G-Metric Yoyo' [...]

First thing is first, hi people from NY Magazine! Thanks to you, I've decided to post (aka: throw together while I eat my monday morning breakfast) some music I've been really into lately - what a novelty, I know...

Hillstomp Last weekend saw Halloween on a Saturday, and at The Ash Street Saloon's 15th year Anniversary Party were one of Portland's finest bands, Hillstomp , just back from a hugely successful European Tour. Hillstomp (who did this opbmusic in studio session in '08) just keep getting better - remarkable energy, reminiscent of early Pogues madness held tightly together so that it always seems as if the lid's about to blow off, as it sometimes does. There has been much talk lately on whether "the blues" will survive in decades to [...]
One of my favorite records of the year is Princeton's Cocoon Of Love , released late September by the Los Angeles based band. This eleven track album flourishes with melody sifting between the Beatlesque and baroque while situated amidst sun, shore, and canyon. Cocoon Of Love finds its inspiration in faded glories and other things of former importance, of course, and other spectacles of amour. music: "Sadie and Andy" (feat. Meredith Metcalf) video: http://www.kaninerecords.com/ [...]
It's been 10 years today since Saves The Day released their break-through album Through Being Cool ! Through Being Cool is the second album by Princeton, New Jersey -based band Saves the Day . It has a more melodic sound than their first release, Can't Slow Down , which was a more punk/hardcore driven record. The album was released only one year after the band's first release even though they had replaced 3 of their members. At the time [...]

Cymarshall Law " No Fear '09 ": " I don't care what people think, I just wanna make my son proud " sounds like some shit I'd say.

Nigga [...]
