mp3: Surfer Blood - Swim This is was the other track I thought about posting of Surfer Blood. But I got antsy and decided to share it. Plus I've been a swimmer all my life so how could I stay away. whiteguyswithbeards say-th: "The current music influx of surf/garage/wave/whatever bands is a tad bit on the curious side given the current time of year (39 degrees outside by my thermostat) and many of these band's general proximity to water. I love a good fuzzed-out beach anthem as much [...]

mp3: Surfer Blood - Swim The current music influx of surf/garage/wave/whatever bands is a tad bit on the curious side given the current time of year (39 degrees outside by my thermostat) and many of these band's general proximity to water. I love a good fuzzed-out beach anthem as much as the next guy, but its hard to get into summer grooves when you're wearing mittens and shit. But, I digress. Florida's aptly-named Surfer Blood is riding a pretty substantial wave of blogospherehype. I was skeptical to give another [...]

Pearl Snaps I: Enlightenment.zip 85MB I'm supposed to be on hiatus, but I couldn't not share these great tunes with you. What originally started as a tribute to new alt-country/folk songs (hence "pearl snaps") turned into a 4-mix showcase of the latest (and some oldies too) great songs of several genres you should tap your feet to. Keep what you know of the Age of Enlightenment in the back of your mind—it has nothing to do with the concept of this installment of Pearl Snaps [...]
This is an ever changing and (hopefully) expanding list of some of the songs I have mentioned before in this blog or simply stuff I have found somewhere on the web that I find interesting, but have no time to write about. All files have been found somewhere in cyberspace (and NONE of them have uploaded by me, so I cannot help you with any requests you might have - just keep returning and something new might pop up), so they will be available until the artists, record labels, fans, whatever decide to remove them. Thanks to a few readers, [...]

So I've officially accepted that I am no longer (if ever was) 'hip'. I go to Dance Cave and find myself knowing only the 'throw back beats', aka the not-so-new new shit I just uploaded on my palm pre (yeah, y'heard right, I dont even have an Iphone! *GASP*). My prime has past. I'm now a fossil that listens to mainstream music on not so hip devices. I might as well start thinking, box or urn? Now take a seat on my lap as I tell you tales from the good ole days, just say'n... Wait, what was I [...]

We really like Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin around here. They're poppy, thoughtful and fun. And now they've written a song for their local minor league baseball team, the Springfield Cardinals. This reminds me of a strange turn of events where The Shout Out Louds "The Comeback" was being played during the late-innings of Cincinnati Reds games. This is true. You can ask someone.Is

When I started talking to Sean Moeller of Daytrotter.com (who signs his missives as "Mr. Daytrotter" amusingly) in May about his idea of "an RV Tour of Iowa Barns" I was both excited and a little worried, frankly. Sean said that he wanted to give something back to Iowa- his home state- in addition to raising the awareness of the "recording studio with a website" that is Daytrotter.com to its neighbors. Indeed, while music geeks like myself have been aware of the freely-downloadable mp3's of the recording sessions done in the Rock Island-based studio- [...]

We agree. :: Division Day 's Kevin Lenhart had a nice little talk with Aquarium Drunkard about sustainability and greeniness. :: Death Cab for Cutie [...]

Yes, Death Cab for Cutie's Chris Walla! Dudes are hoping for an early 2010 release date, and given Walla's prime production on this year's Telekinesis album and Rawkblog heroes Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin's continuing journey through the ever-expanding indie pop universe, I think we can safely expect glory.

On the beach Agathe (centre) showing Salomé (left) and Chloé how to fly a kite The beach at night A couple of weeks ago, I spent a rather pleasant time on the French coast. I was staying with my friend, Agathe, and her mother, Gisèle, at their holiday home south of Nantes. For the best part of a week, the two ladies took great care of me. Everyday, I had a wonderful [...]
