![[MP3] Harlem: "Sometimes (Flamin' Groovies cover)"](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2135858_lg.jpg)
It's a good thing You Ain't No Picasso has been keeping close tabs on Austin band Harlem, because I almost missed this one! The boys like doing covers and their latest attempt is "Sometimes," originally released in 1965 by Paul Revere And The Raiders. Story goes, though, that Harlem never heard the original, just the 1976 Flamin' Groovies cover. Thus, this is technically a Flamin' Groovies cover. Confusion! Their first official full-length should be coming out sometime soon (fingers crossed), but until then we have what we have. And right now, we have this. [...]
This was the greatest decade of music for me as a fan. There were so many incredible albums, almost all by bands I'd never even heard of in 2000, discovered almost entirely through the same musical venue that you are reading write now -- the Internet. At the dawn of the decade, I was approaching a rock fan milestone that presumably signaled the end of my interest in cool new music (I turned 30 in 2001), while at the same time, the rock music industry (ie. whatever they played on the radio) had devolved into a hybrid of cheap rap-rock [...]
errata : errata - i s'pose you'd have to class this as post-something if you were in the classification business. post-metal, post-hardcore, post-whatever. what they do is that kindof epic soundscape meets thundering uber-chordage and throaty roar-vox that envy (should that be inveja...) and cult of luna (if they were amphetamined out their swedish heads) and will haven (make up yr goddam mind grady...) do. they're portugese (as if you could tell...) and really rather good. niftily keeping the right balance between deranged bellows, guitar battery and widescreen ambience. a bit like [...]

Enjoy this week's collection, which is a bit stronger than the week before. I'll have 5 more next Sunday, and probably another 5 a week after that.

To the songs: 1) Woodpigeon - You're My Only Home 2) Superchunk - 100,000 Fireflies 3) The Divine Comedy - Love Is [...]
EMusic has posted photos of indie rock stars in their childhood Halloween costumes. "This year for Halloween, we asked some of our favorite indie artists — among them Bon Iver, Superchunk and My Morning Jacket — to send us pictures of them in their Halloween costumes. The results are both charming and hilarious, the perfect way to get into the, er, "spirit" of things." Over there? That's Bon Iver as Garth from Wayne's World.

Per Halloween il sito Emusic maschera gli artisti indie. Pubblicate le foto in costume di Bon Iver , Morning Jacket , Superchunk , Black Mountain .
In anticipation of the holiday, eMusic is featuring pictures of indie-rock stars dressed up for Halloween. The photos run the gamut: There are pics of your favorite musicians as tiny child-monsters (like the one pictured, of Black Lips guitarist Cole Alexander dressed as a wee Dracula), images of bands unified in getting decked out (Superchunk as the Misfits -- complete with devil lock -- is a good example ) and shots from both recent days and yesteryear. A prepubescent, wonderfully awkward Bon Iver dressed as Garth from Wayne's World ; My Morning Jacket in [...]

The span of years roughly book-ended by the launches of Napster and Spotify -- a decade during which many perpetually proclaimed the album format dead -- was crammed with crates and crates and crates and crates of compelling music. And why wouldn't it be? Ones and zeroes do not obviate humanity's innate need to rock . But that is a subject for another day. Today, as part of Deckfight 's ongoing Albums Of The Decade Blog Tour , we force ourselves to choose the 10 best of the last 10 years. For weeks we've debated how to [...]
