Well, it's Friday and you know what that means. Yes, my Oriental Groinal Aerodynamics consultant Fah Lo Suee and I will be heading for the hills now that Attorney General Eric Holder has made the New York City area a terrorist target again. Seriously, what was he thinking? As a result, posting by moi will be sporadic for a couple of days, or at least until we find an abandoned bomb shelter from the 60s. Preferably in Dayton, Ohio, which nobody, let alone a terrorist, would ever go to. But in the [...]
I really like going to concerts, but it's actually very rare that I continue to reflect on a show months after it's passed. Mount Eerie's 2008 performance at the Art Damage Lodge in Northside was one of those shows. Phil Elvrum, the creative force behind Mount Eerie , performed along with two of his friends, Julie Dorion and Fred Squire, with whom he had collaborated on last year's lauded Lost Wisdom album. The tone of the show was hushed, intimate, and even reverent. The lonesome and organic sound of the trio's performance, as well as the set [...]
Yesterday, Paste released its list of the 50 Best Albums Of The 2000s, and the list was topped by none other than Sufjan Stevens' Illinoise , which honestly seems like it was released way longer ago, so established has he become in the indie-rock firmament. Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot , the Arcade Fire's Funeral , Radiohead's Kid A , and Bright Eyes' I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning rounded out the top five. Full rundown after the jump, but first, a few reactions. THE GOOD: Hey, [...]
Well, for those of you keeping score, I'm home at last, and yes, as in the Chuck Berry song, I'm so glad to be back in the USA. After, admittedly, a rather magical week in Dayton, Ohio, if you know what I mean. In any case, I should mention that while en vacance I did in fact prepare a Weekend Listomania for tomorrow, but somehow it must have disappeared from my computer into the Gallic ether. That being the case, I've decided to take my first vacation from Listomania in over two years (since [...]
There is another excellent concert coming up here in the Cincinnati area next week. On Monday, November 2nd across the river in Covington The Whigs and The Features, who ENS favorites, will be taking the stage at the Mad Hatter. The Features released an excellent record earlier this year titled Some Kind Of Salvation , which was the first release on the new label imprint from Kings Of Leon. The Whigs are getting ready to release a brand new album of their own in 2010 after the success of their first two records [...]
Mount Carmel has been getting some local love on the message board recently, and the band's profile is sure to grow before our very eyes with news of the trio's next record coming out on Siltbreeze — an especially familiar name in Columbus b/c of Times New Viking, Psychedelic Horseshit and ex-pat Pink Reason, all of whom have releases on the boutique Philly label. (Good work, Columbus.) Ah, but don't start the gripefest just yet, shitgaze haters. If you're not familiar with Mount Carmel, this trio — Kevin Skubak and brothers Pat and [...]
A little birdie just told us via Twitter that Drug Rug (aka Tommy and Sarah) will be playing at ZuZu tomorrow night, fresh off their tour with Portugal. The Man. The same birdie said that Dead Trees , ex-Bostonians formerly known as Furvis who have a few days between their recent CMJ show and their upcoming Middle East downstairs gig (this Thursday night with The Whigs, Mean Creek & The Features), will be playing as well. The listing on ZuZu's site doesn't confirm the latter but does indeed list Tommy & Sarah (who are collectively our little [...]
[ Gentle readers, a very great man has died. All of us here at PowerPop extend our sincere condolences to his family, in particular to his rock star sons Hunt and Tony Sales and, of course, to hero of Steve's youth, the unforgettable Pookie the Lion . Please observe a moment of silence, and when it's over, Soupy will send you a postcard from Puerto Rico. We now resume our regular programming. ] Well, it's Friday and you know what that means.

A little birdie just forwarded this image to us: It appears to be a layout for one of the Festival 8 campgrounds, clearly with a theme of Radiohead's Kid A , which is one of the potential albums Phish may cover for their Halloween musical costume. There's been some speculation about how the festival art and layout will reflect the 'final album' the band chooses. If this is legit, then that would mean Kid A is on the band's 'album shortlist.'

Been a little under the weather lately but hopefully on the mend now...and back to posting. We're really excited for the new release from the Athens, GA band The Whigs , set for release in early 2010. We had a chance to catch the band down in Madison, WI last year and they absolutely rocked. The Whigs in Madison To tempt us over until the release, the band is releasing the [...]
Hold on, as we are about to get all meta-analytical up on this piece. Here are the top 10 best songs about writing. These are the musical musings on the act of making something out of nothing. The tunes about the process of taming the ethereal and tapping into that great big atmosphere of inspiration. Whether it's an attack on grammar Nazis, the beast of burden that is writer's block, or word play and verb flexing put into melody, these are the songs that give us insight into the sometimes self-indulgent struggle that is putting pen to paper. Write on. [...]

I've had a special spot for anything out of Athens, GA for years now. It's got a soul and a kitch and heart that rocks with a unusual sense of style that I've long found fascinating. I'm sure you already know how cool its music scene is, and have heard more than a few of the various types of great music that various great bands have brought out from its 117 square miles over the years. One of its more recent exports, The Whigs , blew the doors and the eardrums off of 2008 with their [...]
I kind of lucked into this interview. I had seen the name Stephen Kellogg come up in my email a time or two, but I didn't really know too much about the guy and his band Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers, so I didn't pay too much attention. It took a friend at a concert in Iowa sending me text upon text of: "This is the greatest band ever," "OMG. Best live show ever," and then "I will kick you if you do not interview this band or do something for them. So amazing." [...]

The band plays an album release party tomorrow, Oct. 10th at the Cradle in Chapel Hill, NC with Lonnie Walker, Des Ark, Rat Jackson and Lake Inferior. IWTDI is made up [...]
