So as a frequent user of Soundcloud, and there was a mega storm happening outside, I thought I should go through my followers and listen to their tracks, which I found pretty hard because there really is a lot of weird shit on there. Then I stumbled across Beat Comer (changed to Beat Jensen/Jansen now?), who is Trent Williams, a really rad dude from Wellington, New Zealand, and I was just smiling at my computer screen for ages and listening and I kept doing this all evening basically. His vocals are super rough and incredibly hard not to like, [...]
Mars Bar has been closed to make way for the B&T bourgeoisie, and Hank's Saloon may be next. The Bowery is no longer a grimy haven, and it's easier to find an artisanally-made vegan scoop of fat-free ice cream than it is to find a decent bagel in New York City. Luckily, some are still kicking it old-school. The founder of the Knitting Factory, Michael Dorf, was sick of the slick, so he opened up a place where New Yorkers can still embrace their inner crusty even if they've grown up a bit. [...]

Sometimes the Spring season isn't as bright and cheery as it's supposed to be and post-winter seasonal depression kicks in. This angsty, psychedelia-tinged, shoegazing reverie of a show attempts to touch on that feeling, as well as the bi-polarity inherent in the start-stop-start-stop-again crawl of springtime, and the apprehension that sometimes accompanies the new beginnings, growth, and rebirth that occur during this time of the year. Plus, there are several tracks referencing the gaseous and incendiary sphere that we orbit, all the while knowing it will one day collapse and take everything with it. Beat City [...]

This angsty, psychedelia-tinged, shoegazing reverie of a show attempts to touch on that feeling, as well as the bi-polarity inherent in the start-stop-start-stop-again crawl of springtime, and the apprehension that sometimes accompanies the new beginnings, growth, and rebirth that occur during the next couple of months.

Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes. Source: Wikipedia This show features the Three Songs EP from hirsute Baroque-folker Robin Pecknold, better known as the frontman of Seattle's Fleet Foxes. The EP was somewhat clandestinely released via Fleet Foxes' Twitter account on March 7. The tracks should help sate the appetite of fans anxiously awaiting the sophomore record from the band, which is slated for release on May 3. Though Pecknold (and his amazing set of pipes) are behind these tracks, they're quieter and less layered than full band tracks. I'm particularly [...]
Foster the People's ubiquitous "Pumped Up Kicks" is catchy-as-hell Bubblegum Pop replete with whistling and dark lyrics about a (presumably) crazed teenager.
