13 Tracks: An Incredibly Unlucky Mix "Once a year on a spooky night, it's Halloween, and what a fright!" In what's surely every dentist's worst nightmare (and eventually best conceived dream), the 31st of every October, here in the United States at least, is laced with the tradition of disguising oneself and begging for sugary, sugary treats. Not wanting to be the lame house on the street that gives away apples and raisins, I've put together this mix consisting of a very unlucky amount of musical sweetness. Stuff these in [...]

The temperatures are beginning to drop and the leaves are turning. This inevitably means Halloween is nearly upon us. I love the music that is typically associated with "fall" and what better way to celebrate than a continuation of our annual Halloween Compilation? In typical spooky form we've added an additional 13 songs to the list this year. Enjoy and feel free to discuss your favorite Hallweenesque songs in the comments section. Also, don't forget to register for the third annual March of 1000 Skeletons which will be happening October 24th in downtown Oklahoma [...]
Two new obsessions this week thanks to Last.fm 's recommendation algorithms. Not sure why I wasn't already hip to Starlight Mints or Bishop Allen , but both have quickly made the jump to my varsity squad. We'll see about their stamina. [...]
Season 3, Episode: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 Gossip Girl's music selection for its third season is finally getting interesting. Last night's star-studded episode (insert: read NY Mag's hilarious and inspired GG recaps every Tuesday morning), was the season's most interesting, musically and otherwise. As always, Gossip Girl played a handful of tracks by small bands you probably never heard of, but Alex Pastavas always keeps a goodie for the Gossip [...]

Here's the music video for Starlight Mints ' song "Power Bleed", which appears on the band's current album, Change Remains . The video was directed by Nape Foll and George Salisbury , and produced by Geek House.
Everything about this song, from the crisp after-dinner zing of the band who brings it to us , to the heartswelling, immense, gorgeously elegant string section that starts it, to the pop confection that follows - it's nearly perfect in every way that matters. Submarine #3 - The Starlight Mints Starlight Mints are from Norman, Oklahoma, and are signed to Barsuk Records. That tune is the first song on their first album, The [...]

This is your last chance to get some free culture and enjoy Shakespeare under the stars on the Boston Common. I haven't managed to make it, maybe this weekend? The Starlight Mints and Wye Oak at the Middle East on Thursday looks like a great show, thinking about that one. On Friday there are way too many choices of rock with the ultimate rockers Rock Bottom at Johnny D's, Angeline at the Plough and Six Finger Satellite at TTs. On Saturday, I'm betting their will be many people at Harpers Ferry in Allston to see The Radiators (and pretend they're [...]

I've been incredibly busy the past couple of weeks (primarily moving, among other things) and I'm just now finally getting settled in. I don't think I've had this kind of incessant time away from blogging since I started this thing, but hopefully things will get back to normal around here. What better way to kick things off than with The Daily Graboid, as this will be another chunk of the last month or so of releases that I've missed. Starting next week I will probably get back to a weekly posting of this, so I'm sure [...]
