Buddy Holly, Changing All These Changes.Hello. In a bid to revive this site, I'm doing a couple of radical things. First, as the very look of the place was getting me down--it was shabby and ugly and dated--this new template (with which I will keep tinkering) is a first step towards bringing Locust St. into the 2010s. Sadly, as yet I've been unable to move all the old comments over, and
by Klaus Kinski A few months ago I was wilting my life away at work listening to my M83 Pandora channel when a song the site randomly selected yanked me from my zombified, mouth-breathing state. It sounded like a bizarre mixture of Vangelis , Kitarro , Spandau Ballet , and Mogwai . Turns out, the artist was Ulrich Schnauss and the song was Goodbye . I didn't know [...]
Sounds like: Do Think Make Say, Explosions In The Sky Download audio file (06-Album-Leaf-Until-the-Last. mp3) What's so good? Even if you've never heard of The Album Leaf there's a pretty good chance you've heard the music of Jimmy LaValle, the songwriter and multi-instrumentalist responsible for the project's five full-length albums and five EPs. Music by The Album Leaf has been featured in episodes of The O.C., CSI, Grey's Anatomy, Sons of Anarchy, as well as in the radio [...]
After All Leather 's Hung Like a Horse EP , the full-length follow-up quickly became hotly anticipated. Well, now that anticipation will finally be quelled when the band release their full-length debut, When I Grown Up I Wanna F*** Like A Girl , via Dim Mak on March 18. All Leather is a super group of sorts, comprising Justin Pearson (of The Locust ), Nathan Joyner (of Some Girls ), and Jung Sing (of Maniqui Lazer ).

Dolly Parton , arguably the biggest female star to ever come out of country music, celebrates a birthday today. Regardless of whatever she has touched—movies, books, stage, theme parks—she has made an impact. However, no matter what else she does (or has done), it's the songs she has written and recorded that have made the most impact. Today, we take a look at 15 of the greatest Dolly Parton singles of all-time. With 111 records to make the charts, it wasn't easy to narrow it down, so we tried the best we could. [...]
Jason Köhnen's nieuwste solo-project Porcelain Minotaurs smelt darkjazz, drones en dubstep samen. De eerste release van dit project zal de Locust Halo EP zijn, en exclusief op Eclectro kun je alvast twee van de vier tracks van deze EP online beluisteren. Porcelain Minotaurs ontstond een goede twee jaar geleden, vlak na het uitkomen van de Mutations EP van The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble . Het was de bedoeling om de tracks anderhalf jaar geleden al uit te brengen, maar met het nieuwe TKDE album was daar op dat moment niet voldoende tijd voor. [...]

Today I wanted to share a collection of different tracks that have been sent to me, and until just recently, have been sitting in my iTunes library collecting dust and now that I have a forum in which to share them, i am pretty excited, because some of which have been hard to find and need some well deserved plays. Hot Chip can be very hit or miss, and their new single One Life Stand is no exception. Although I'm not a huge fan of the original, there is a remix i found [...]
Read the collective's responses here , and mine are posted below. Best Album Sore Eros "Second Chants" (SHDWPLY) A splendid home-recorded pop album founded on the idea of creative sublimation as a solution to meaninglessness and worldly pain that should be listened to alongside Pre-Socratic accounts of cosmology, theogony, and water. Best Song "Castles" by Amen Dunes from "Dia" (Locust) When the handclaps and shaker kick in, Damon McMahon warmly transports you directly to his cabin of solitude in the Catskill Mountains. [...]
I'm back and SLUGGING it out with a killer 7-inch birthed by Bleeding Kansas (ex Jackson 9 ) and The Great Redneck Hope (of, as I find out, Colorado Springs; hell yeah). I'll start with The Great Redneck Hope because they're the weirdest, in a semi-grind-y, Charles Bronson / Locust / Spazz /Level Plane way. What starts as a flirtation with oddity becomes a mission to suck, [...]
I don't really listen to, or particularly care for, a ton of new music. I do manage to find a few records each year that I deem worthy enough to spend my hard earned trust fund money on, and they are as follows: Psychic Ills - Mirror Eye (The Social Registry) This was the first record that came out this year that really grabbed my attention. I think it was released the first or second week of January, proving that Merriwether Post Pavillion was not even Album [...]

Hello audience, I'm Evan. It's time again for me to put effort into composing a blog entry. That's right, today is the day you'll get to read my year-end list devoted to the 100 best albums released in 2009. Like last year, I can't possibly write 100 blurbs for all the albums on this list, so I've prepared about 25 mini-reviews to go along with song samples from about 25 of the albums. As far as I know, all these albums were released in 2009, but I am an imperfect human, so there might be an error or two. Instead [...]

Though I didn't read as many stellar nonfiction titles as I did last year , several impressed me, and these are the nonfiction books I have been recommending most to friends, family, and blog readers. Several of the titles from my favorite 2009 graphic novels could easily have been added to this list ( Stitches and Likewise are among my favorite nonfiction titles of the year), but I chose to keep the lists separate this year. All links go to [...]

Free Diamonds are one of many different types of spazz-dance acts out on the market, one of a genre that includes acts as diverse as Fanny Pack, Electric Six, and Gravy Train. However, there seems to be more of an noise (The Locust, Neon Hunk) influence shown by Free Diamonds. "The List of Everyone" mixes [...]
