If you ever wished you could attend UK fest All Tomorrow Parties, Facets Cinémathèque , 1517 W. Fullerton Ave., has a rare treat for you, Chicago. The Lincoln Park multi-media center will premiere a unique documentary on the festival featuring performances by Sonic Youth, Mogwai, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, Shellac, Les Savy Fav, and Portishead to name a few. The documentary All Tomorrow's Parties was compiled from footage taped by over 200 festival attendees on everything from traditional cameras [...]
Sebastian Mlynarski When I rounded up all the bits of information around Holly Miranda's solo project back in January , I had no notion that interest in it would eclipse that given to her main band, The Jealous Girlfriends . But her more atmospheric approach is certainly more in line with what people expect/want to hear wafting out of Brooklyn these days and it has apparently tickled more ears than the Girlfriends' heaver, more guitar-driven rock did. So while the Girlfriends take a deserved break, Miranda has been busy - [...]
For ramblings on how I came to compile this list go here . And for commentary on previous selections: [ #50-46 ] [ #45-41 ] [ #40-36 ] [ #35-31 ] 30. Heartbreaker - Ryan Adams (2000) The argument that most of the world's greatest art is derived from sadness is one that I've always worked hard to refute, but a guy like Ryan Adams doesn't make it easy for me to do so. It doesn't [...]
Originally inspired by the Bowlie Weekender with Belle and Sebastian in 1999, All Tomorrow's Parties has turned into something of a global phenomenon - albeit in a cult-ish sort of way, an experience like no other, and now an experience that has made it on to the silver screen with ATP: The Film. Those interested in ATP tend to be so in a very dedicated fashion and as such, much of the material in this film has been compiled using footage taken by over 200 musicians, fans and filmmakers; leaving the lucky editor with about 600 hours to sift through [...]
By Tobi Vail, musician, influential DIY punk zinester, activist and feminist theorist from Olympia, Wash. Beth Ditto on the cover of NME. ( courtesy of NME ) Like countless others, I watched Britney Spears' meltdown in early 2007 with an obsessive eye. What did it mean that her decline had been [...]

Japanese Voyeurs From: London, UK Sounds like: Daisy Chainsaw, Babes In Toyland, Kyuss Website: www.MySpace.com/JapaneseVoyeur s Thrash Hits verdict: The grunge revival is alive and kicking right here in the UK of A and Japanese Voyeurs are most definitely one of the hottest frontrunners. Take some snarling/fuzzy '90s guitars, add a superhot, slightly ditzy-sounding but still very, very angry frontwoman and slap two very cool words at the top of all their posters and this is what you end up [...]

Urusei Yatsura were an excellent Glasgow based Lo- Fi band that were about in the 1990's, they were heavily influenced by bands like Pavement, Velvet Underground, Pixies and Sonic Youth. They released three albums in total, We Are Urusei Yatsura (1996), Slain by Urusei Yatsura (1998) and Everybody Loves Urusei Yatsura (2000) before finally calling it a day in 2001. The band name came from a Japanese comic, and roughly translates as "those pesky female androids" useless fact I know, [...]
Today was new music discovery Wednesday for HappyParts. It was on my planner to learn about the indie music world in China. Following the long-tail, and knowing there are indeed authentic concerns for Chinese Youth to rebel against, the music must be on fire. I discovered a tour thats in mid-flight back east. (Ironically, not lots of coverage from jetset outposts - beyond Brooklyn Vegan - godspeed 4 the Mp3's) The tour is being presented by one of two, indies from Beijing, Maybe Mars . (What is the other label? Do Tell.) Maybe Mars also operates a club in Bejing called D-22 . Their artists cite influences [...]

Ride The Frightening Grooms (née Muggabears) from Brooklyn create the kind of hedonistic fantasy grunge that Sonic Youth and Pavement did in their heyday, combining powerful, churning guitar lines and intelligent basslines merging blissfully in a mélange of shimmering, powdery drums and whiny adolescent vocals. 'Dreamsucker' is an immediate favourite, with its glistening guitar and bass interplay and intense, cacophonic spurts combed through with odd, whirring synth sirens in the background adding a tangible eerieness. Grooms is truly a hidden gem, a powerful force to be reckoned with. Currently on tour [...]
Unlike the book signing I went to a few weeks back with Iggy Pop , Grunge was an era that looking back totally changed my life. I am sure I am not alone. The entire movement itself made me aware that other music was out there that the main stream media wasn't telling me about. It made me dig deeper then what MTV and my alternative radio station were playing. The beauty of it is that it was still a time when MTV was playing videos, and Clear Channel didn't own the air waves. Now, I was young [...]
Seafood were a four piece from London that formed in the mid 90's, tagged as being a "post-grunge band", to date they have 4 full albums and a mini album/EP. If you like your Sonic Youth and the like then I reckon you'll like Seafood, sadly they recently called it a day, so no chance of seeing them live, if you are looking for a good starting place I'd recommend you start with 'Messenger in the Camp.

For those that experienced Neil Young's 1991 Weld tour with Sonic Youth and Social Distortion, it was one of the loudest concerts of all time.While this poll isn't for loudest concert, the folks at Madison Square Garden are running a poll for "100 Best: Vote Down to the Greatest Garden Show of All Time".And Neil Young and Crazy Horse's February 1991 show is in the running.

grooms//dreamsucker
So I finally got around to listening to the new Grooms record (a month after release) who were formally the Muggabears for the greater part of the decade. This new LP Rejoicer came out on Death By Audio and is mindful of the previous decade of music, the 90's. For being based out of Brooklyn, the band's sound is a unique one in regard to their counterparts of BK; but of course the founder of the band Travis Johnson is from Dallas (big ups to DFDUB). Like I was saying, the band's sound is very conscious [...]
