"For a bunch of good looking people, you sure are boring and I can't hang around with that certainty because it dies with the day. A peculiar assessment, She said. Maybe, I continued, Yet even those that don't like me expect a lot. You think you deserve something, and you're mad, she said again and again. I was mad with the desire to believe in an absolute, and fingering the perils of such belief in my mind all day.

With Spoon, Beach House, Interpol, Vampire Weekend, Four Tet, The Magnetic Fields, Hot Chip, and Rogue Wave (among plenty of others that I'm forgetting, surely) all slated to drop new records in early 2010, the new year looks like it will be starting off with a bang. At least for fans of independent music anyway. Of any of those though (besides Spoon), the upcoming release I'm most excited about is Shearwater's The Golden Archipelago . Reason being that Rook , their amazing 2008 album, made such a big [...]

Excellent news... Oakland, CA's Rogue Wave has announced that it will be releasing its fourth studio album, entitled Permalight , on March 2nd. And, even better, the band will be embarking on a 2-month tour in support of the album that will bring them to Chicago's Lincoln Hall.

The savory indie-pop goodness of Rogue Wave have announced that they will have a new album called Permalight coming out March 2, 2010 and they have announced some new tour dates in support of said album, including a stop here at the Loft in Dallas.

NAME: Rogue Wave PROGRESS REPORT: Mixing their latest album, Permalight recorded at Sweet Tea Recording in Oxford, Mississippi. Due March 2, 2010. As for most people, 2009 was a bad year for Zach Rogue. Of course sadness and introspection was already a huge part of his band Rogue Wave's last album Asleep at Heaven's Gate . "Ironically, [this] has even been a more difficult year. There's been more death than I've ever had in my life," Rogue says. Add to that a freak neck injury from last fall that [...]
There are certain bands that I associate with HearYa more than others. Bands like Ha Ha Tonka, Other Lives and Joe Pug are a few that blend great musicianship with amiable personalities. Port O'Brien is another of those bands and over the course of three albums and countless shows , Port O'Brien has never ceased to amaze us. It has been a treat to watch them evolve since Oz recommended them a couple of years back. I showed up a little late to the session and the first thing I noticed was a slight lineup [...]

Last night, PBS/Independent Lens presented D Tour , a documentary about Pat Spurgeon from Rogue Wave. He was born with only one kidney, and was lucky enough to get a kidney transplant only to have it fail as well. The doc focuses on his struggles to live the life of a touring drummer, all while administering dialysis to himself twice a day while on the road, not to mention his search for a new kidney donor. I learned about this doc through Adam from Beggar's Banquet, as he's friends with Pat and helped produce the documentary. Tying [...]
