A falta de pocas semanas para que acabe 2009, no tengo problema en destacar a Epic Handshakes and a Bear Hug , el primer álbum de Wild Honey (el nombre del grupo, título de un álbum de The Beach Boys, es toda una declaración de principios) como uno de los mejores discos del año. Guillermo Farré realiza un trabajo de pop delicado, elegante y cuidado al detalle. Grabado en su casa y mezclado en Nashville con Brad Jones (Josh Rouse, The Shazam), el disco está disponible en su web desde hace algunas semanas en formato [...]
Sydney pop-punks Royal Headache are looking for some people to drive them down to Melbourne this weekend. More info in this thread . In related news, Royal Headache will NOT be supporting You Am I at their matinee show this Sunday as previously reported by the Annandale Hotel website and re-published in our gig guide. Thanks to Nic from RIP Society for the heads up.

Recommended Show: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2009 THE MARY ONETTES & THE ART OF SHOOTING @ MERCURY LOUNGE 217 East Houston Street Manhattan, NY 10002 $10, 7PM The problem with most of the shows going on tonight is not that they aren't good, but that they are rather pricey (Monsters of Folk at Beacon Theater costs around $50 and Wolfmother at Terminal 5 runs a little over $27, plus whatever fees might be added if you buy them online), so I've got to go with a reasonably priced show [...]
Most Likely To: make you see your cardiologist, but he will tell you it's nothing. Indie bands, much like tarty girlfriends or Sunday drivers, move at their own pace. They don't adhere to established practices. TPoBPaH, hailing from New York, are no different. They released a full length back in February, and are eyeing another full length for January of 2010. The EP Higher Than the Stars shoots to bridge that gap. As with true talent, for years EPs were generally a forgotten notion in the major label landscape. Now, more and more [...]

The press release below doesn't actually list all the acts performing at CMJ this year, so you're probably better off checking out cmj.sched.org to get a true idea of what's happening during this year's marathon. Of course, sched.org is a little confusing too and it doesn't list unofficial events and day parties (as far as I know), so you'll have to wait a little bit longer for info to trickle out from the blogs and other unofficial sources. Lastly, even though the press release says the schedule is "final", you can pretty much bet that things will shift [...]
>> Coldplay @ Estadi Olímpic, Barcelone, 4 septembre 2009 >> Première partie : The Sunday Drivers, The Flaming Lips Cela faisait un bon moment que je savais que Coldplay allaient jouer dans le stade olympique de Barcelone. La date du concert avait été annoncée plusieurs mois à l'avance mais acheter un ticket ne m'avait pas vraiment traversé l'esprit. Les jours qui précédaient le concert, j'entendais parler du concert ici et là et je me rendais compte que je n'avais encore jamais vu Chris Martin et sa [...]
Gentlemen ... start your engines! Editor's Note: This was written by our L.A. correspondent Randy Fuller , who just happens to be the afternoon traffic guy on Los Angeles powerhouse AM station KABC. Thanks, Randy! The town I grew up in, Port Arthur, Texas, had a "Dead Man's Curve." It was a microscopic piece of blacktop that bent 90 degrees around a house situated very close to the road. It was extremely hard to see the oncoming traffic, and there wasn't much room to swerve out of [...]
A Popsense special on the long, strange and stupid road of Jeremy Mayfield. No one ever accused NASCAR drivers of having much tact. The sport itself is often called too simple. Its fans are lambasted for their blind dedication and overall lack of collective hygeine. However, this has been proven most successfully over the years with a simple glance at what the most successful racer in history seems to have glued to his head years ago. What you don't know [...]
A note from the organizers of Splendour In The Grass: Refrain from carrying drugs because sniffer dogs will be used, don't jump the fences because harsh fines will apply and remember your ID because you will be turned away without it. Consider yourself warned people, besides The Happy Mondays and Flaming Lips are in town so the entire drug supply of Australia will be sapped. The only other advice we can give you is watch out for hippies selling "mood herbs", bring a pair of gumboots just in case and steer clear [...]

It's early Sunday afternoon and already steamy and sticky in Manchester, Tennessee. We head purposefully to Which Stage to get close to see Mike Farris and the Roseland Rhythm Revue. We got a late start, which sucked, because there was no way to get as close as we wanted. I was a bit shocked. After all, it was Sunday, half past noon. Most of Bonnaroo hadn't stopped the Saturday party but four or five hours ago (thank you MGMT and moe.) In between me and the front row were several thousand fellow Bonnaroonians, excited to celebrate Sunday morning [...]
Arrivano importanti novità sull'unico concerto estivo dei Coldplay in Italia, quello di Udine del prossimo 31 agosto : sul sito ufficiale del gruppo sono apparsi i nomi degli artisti di supporto per tutte le date europee, che avranno il compito di scaldare il pubblico prima dell'evento principale. L'elenco è ampio e di tutto rispetto, e a noi italiani –parere personale- è andata veramente di lusso: allo Stadio Friuli gli spettatori vedranno alternarsi sul palco la rivelazione britannica White Lies e i nostri Ministri . Poi arriveranno Chris Martin e [...]
- Plaxico Burress faces an existential question, Lakers' fans premier the new production of STOMP, and our weekly dose of non-athletic white guys turning left! - 1.Oh Shite! A Defense of Plaxico Burress – In November 2008, Plaxico Burress was enjoying a night on the town in the relaxing and luxurious city of New York where nothing can go wrong, ever. Somehow while clubbing it up in the VIP room, the Giants' Superbowl winning receiver shot himself in the leg. What's [...]

We're doing something a little different this week. Instead of previewing four or five new releases, we've decided to post two longer ones. Why? Why not! This is a blog. We can do whatever we want! Actually, two of the most important albums of the season are released today: Dirty Projectors' Bitte Orca and Sonic Youth's The Eternal . You're not going to be able to have a conversation about serious indie rock this summer without talking about these albums. So, if I were you, I'd study these reviews closely. You don't want [...]
