Fang Island delivers sound of 'everyone high-fiving everyone' "A triumphant, heavily riffed, primarily instrumental epic, whiplashing through six minutes of smiling prog jams, and as many tempos as passages, before settling into one last minute of uplifting chants." - Stereogum "Life-affirming prog guitar anthems." – Seattle Stranger Fang Island describes its sound as "everyone high-fiving everyone." And, the Brooklyn quintet's anthemic and soaring songs make it quite possibly one of few bands befitting such description. Check out MP3s for two new tracks, "Daisy" and "Life Coach." Its finger-tapping guitar lines, chanted vocals, [...]
E very genre of music has an ideal listening environment. Classical is best heard at a smyphony. Arena rock should be heard at, well, at a large arena. Electronic music? Nothing beats a dance party. But whether you're a club person, a bar junkie or a house party lover, you've probably encountered a lot of obnoxious people during your nights out. Below are nine of the people we hate most in no particular order. Got any good ideas for future lists you'd like to see? Send them over . [...]
To start, I'll note I was quickly hooked on both Atreyu and Hollywood Undead after hearing them both on the Madden soundtrack. Thus with my limited exposure to the metal genre, I arrived at the Showbox ready for Atreyu. I arrived in time to heat up with the crowd for about fifteen minutes before the group took the stage. I must mention that this was a very all-ages crowd: along with the teen+ contingent, I saw some baby booomers and a couple of children that couldn't be more than eight. The crowd [...]
The other night me and my homies from Magic City Clothing went out to the Diesel Music show at the Paris theater out here in Miami Beach. The whole thing was beyond fresh. The tickets were free first of all, but the trade off was that you had to wear the wrist bands they give you everyday until the show. You know I wasn't with that. So my homie G who scooped tickets with me, got mcgyvor with it, and took both of ours off without [...]
Dancing in a Minefield - Plushgun There's a grand tradition of sleek electro-pop with a slightly overwrought sense of the emotional that was re-popularized by The Postal Service in the early part of the decade, but really has its roots back in the 80s. Plushgun is yet another fine entry into that tradition. When everything works on their debut Pins and Panzers , you get delightful, airy, energetic pop hooks and a sense of good feeling about the world at large. By far the best example is the [...]
I was thinking of a few of my NYC pals Kevin & Cindy, who spearhead an '80s cover band called The Fades that played a gig at LES' Fontanas on Thursday. It got me to remembering mainstream 80s music, much of which I have not listened to in a while (exception Billy Idol - never out of style on my record player). In the mid 80s, I was mostly listening to American indie/alt/college rock (REM, dBs, Replacements, Husker Du, Soul Asylum, Talking Heads) or British wave (Bauhaus, New Order, Cure, Smiths, U2, Echo & the [...]
Russian Circle's third release, Geneva , starts out as such a damned promising record, coming out of the chute with 3 of their thickest, heaviest, and most memorable tunes yet. But through poor pacing and scatter shot stylistic change ultimately the album feels like a disappointment and a missed opportunity. Past albums have worked by gradually ratcheting down the pace such as Talking Heads' Remain In Light , but Geneva's diminishing returns don't pack much of a dramatic punch. [...]
Alarmingly brilliant. You might not see or expect it in this group of four rather regular-looking guys from the Great Lakes State, but Michigan's Mason Proper , led by the ingenious Jonathan Visger , creates an endless geometric array of patterns and textures that flow with fascinating angularity over a limestone groove riverbed. The band's boggling resourcefulness with the regular suspects (drums, guitar, bass, keys, sampler, voice) propels them beyond the box of 'experimental indie pop' into far outer atmospheric strata of synesthetic adventure. Perplexed, I listen regularly to Mason Proper's tunes from this [...]
Back before MGMT ever had MGMT they were just some college hipsters at Wesleyan. This was before hipsters became a negative term, before "Kids" was a classic indie song, and before the "change" of Obama. "This Must Be The Place," is by far one of my favorite Talking Heads song. During a summer between my college years, I worked at an Irish pub with two Irish female immigrants, one of which was Emma. She was small, rambunctious and a hell of a mean drunk at times. Whenever she was acting shitty,... Read more at www.SFCritic.com
I was so blissfully clueless until now. GalPal and I were talking the other night and she noted how funny it was that I was so well informed when it came to some thing, and so clueless when it came to others. I'm well rounded when it comes to current events and a reasonably solid worldview, and of course I'm pretty much a walking encyclopedia of music ... so what else could there possibly be? What is it I could be so clueless about? [...]
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia continued its roll of absolutely hilarious episodes this week after a slight misstep in last week's episode. This show, which had taken a creative dive in season 3 and part of season 4, is back in full comedy force in its fifth season, and if you're not watching it, either you're missing the funniest thing on television right now, or you actually have some self respect. Me? I'm loving every episode. This week featured a breakup of the Mac and Dennis "team" when Dee points out that they spend every waking moment together, which [...]
shroomin' & railin' peyote
While anxiously waiting to hear Truman Peyote 's new cassette, Everything Oozes , it doesn't hurt to get a glimpse of what the haps is via their forthcoming New Wife New Life / I'm Gonna Be Okay split 73 with the homies Turtle Ambulance . Taking the illustrious role of a b-side, "Steelstack" stays way true to a TP live show presenting a rhythmelodic structure fronted by a glitched out fanaticism of a killer carousel custom built for the most psychotic of burnt out PCP smokers. Lay back and protect ya' neck, this one is [...]

Headline Records Interview
If you like punk, and you live in L.A., Headline Records is the place to go to. When I have friends from out of town, I make a point to drive down to Melrose. Jean-Luc has seen the scene grow from an international standpoint. And if you have a chance, listen to him talk. Like with Curtis from TAANG, when I'm in Headline, I'm just a student in this punk game. 1. When did you start Headline Records, and what gave you the idea [...]
Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson: Life As A Movie
Story by Adam Daniels Photography by Dorothy Hong "Do you need a drink?"
"Yes, I need four double whiskeys and four PBRs." It was Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson's record release show at Williamsburg's Union Pool, and while he was among a roomful of friends, he was not at ease. Robinson's former fiancé obliged the request, assuming it was on behalf of the entire band. This was not the case. Robinson wasn't a household name in indie rock at the time. But he had a lot of the pieces in place [...]
An Interview With Local Natives

Letting the Freaks and Geeks Into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (Sound Affects)
A growing list of bands unpopular with critics, but genre-defining nevertheless, is impatiently awaiting their admittance into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. As the years progress, the process of getting into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is beginning to look a lot like the process of earning a letter for a high school letter jacket: The superstars (Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Aerosmith) are awarded just for showing up, as are the academic overachievers who are still social enough to get a seat on student council (U2, The Police, Talking Heads). However, the nerds who create the science...

MGMT Cover Talking Heads' "This Must Be The Place"
David Lynch to make film about The Beatles' meditation guru
Based on the last year alone , we know that David Lynch likes to involve himself in a rather creative projects. So, with that in mind, the following news should come as little of a surprise: As NME reports, Lynch has announced that his next project will be a film about The Beatles' meditation guru, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi . The India native gained worldwide fame in the 1950s for his Transcendental Meditation technique and work with numerous high-profile. He died just last year in at the age of 90. "It won't [...]
