Notes upon listening to Yo Gabba Gabba: Music Is . . . Awesome five times in the past two days: - I had no idea what Yo Gabba Gabba was until the promo copy arrived in my mailbox on Wednesday. My cluelessness is due to the fact that (a) pretty much all my TV viewing nowadays is Hulu -based, (b) I don't have kids, and (c) I don't do drugs. However, after looking at the album cover and doing some quick internet researching - which mainly consisted of this article from Slate [...]

![[MP3] Beck: "Harry Partch"](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2137900_lg.jpg)
You like feuds, right? Because this new Beck song is the baby of the feud of the year and it's pretty messy. The story goes like this: Radiohead wrote a song back in August about Harry Patch, the UK's oldest surviving WWI veteran (aww!). Well The Fiery Furnaces' Matthew Friedberger heard this and mistook it to be a song about apparently trendy 20th century composer Harry Partch . Because this upset him so, Friedberger lambasted Radiohead for being obnoxious and writing about trendy things. When he realized his mistake, he released a statement that read: "Matt would [...]
It's going to be my album of the year, at least based on its placing in my top 5 of all albums released this decade, but I still didn't know for certain every lyric to every song on the album, which was mildly annoying. Sunset Rubdown hadn't included a lyric sheet with the album's release and although I'd waded through the threads on the Wolf Parade forums and on songmeanings.net at various times this year, there were enough discrepancies to throw me off on more than one lyric in more than one [...]
Matter of Time mp3 The Leisure Society The Sleeper ..... ..... buy it Well, now this is getting interesting...

If you didn't submit your faves yet, you've still got a chance to get in the game at this point! Help us out, eh? (I"ve highlighted my top 10 in blue) Here's [...]
I like Canadian quartet Dragonette . I like that they have supported both Basement Jaxx and Sugababes, and there's a bunch of remixes of them that I really like. Two such remixes have been floating around recently; Richard X's of "Pick Up The Phone" and Buffetlibre's of "Easy". I have been meaning to post them for a while, but the autumn coma made me miss the train so to speak. Thing is they're too good not to post, so I was really glad when Beaumont bailed me out by sending over his take on "PUTP" today! [...]
In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book. Hos, Hookers, Call Girls & Rent Boys collects stories, poems, and essays by sex workers. Compiled by David Henry Sterry and RJ Martin, Jr., the book organizes this collection of refreshingly genuine and brutally honest writings by category (love, life, money, etc.). The New York Times wrote of the book: "From the unappealing title, you might think this is a truly trashy [...]

"Amzin" Song Taken From: Veterano Latest and Greatest Mixtape Vol.13 & Ras Kass Quarterly. Director by: Charles Barcelona & Lorenzo Escalante for Right Lane Ent. / HomeGrown Outfitters
Born Puerto Rican an bred American, super producer Robbie Rivera may consider himself the proud owner of one of the most extended discographies in dance history. Since 1996, this unashamed workaholic has been churning out first class tunes and has developed an impressive list of productions, remixes, compilations and albums. Recently, this discography was extended with the iTunes Top 5 mix compilation Juizy Ibiza 2009 and as of now, Robbie can add another notch to his bedpost: his fresh artist album Closer To The Sun. When Robbie's not traveling or remixing, he is locked [...]

The third installment of A Retrospective, this time the focus is on 2002. The year of rebuilding, so to speak. It was the year I discovered Cider Jack (and did so plentifully) at the local Pullman bar Rico's, and we all would rehearse Bill Brasky skits (from the SNL spots, and made up on the spot) as twenty feet away the university jazz combo performed excellent renditions of Van Morrison's "Moondance" and various Motown favorites. As we see every year, 2002 saw several real great releases. Here are my favorites. [...]

Kate Walsh – Light & Dark
This being her third album in seven years, you couldn't accuse Kate Walsh of being prolific compared to many of her peers. She has, however, changed her style over time. This release is far more country rock than the jazzier pop of Tim's House , yet it still retains the beautifully constructed vulnerability of both her previous works. The fragile singer songwriter (a la Joni Mitchell) is still present but, if anything, this album builds on it with aspects of alt-country and Gram Parsons, complete with all the inherent self doubt and insecurities.

Jay Reatard, Wavves:
Wavves frontman Nathan Williams hasn't had much better luck than Jay Reatard in holding on to a band. Williams took too many drugs and argued with his drummer onstage ; Jay Reatard pees on people . Apparently Jay Reatard's rhythm section would rather argue, since Pitchfork has confirmed that bassist Stephen Pope and drummer Billy Hayes have joined Wavves after leaving Reatard's band last month. A Pitchfork reader sent the website a YouTube video of Wavves performing with the new lineup, and they've since gotten official word from [...]
Vote on the Contrast Podcast Festive 50 Shortlist!
Contrast Podcast recently asked music bloggers like myself to submit our favorite 50 songs of the year for their annual "Festive 503 podcast. Our selections were then compiled into a shortlist and now we've been asked to recruit votes to narrow it down. For the curious, I've bolded the 10 songs I personally voted for. I really, really want "Nice Very Nice" by Kurt Vonnegut & Dave Soldier (from their album Ice-9 Ballads ) to make the final list. Not only because it's my favorite song of the year, from my favorite album of the year, [...]

Well, the statement wasn't a joke entirely. Deer Tick has a new, iTunes exclusive EP coming out on December 1st via Partisan and it's indeed entitled More [...]
