Dusdin Condren Yes, it's the shortest month but February is generally acknowledged as the coldest, darkest and generally shittiest month as well. Which is why it's nice that Sharon Van Etten and Shearwater are teaming up to make sure that there's something lovely to look forward to for at least three weeks of the four. On February 7, Van Etten will release Tramp , her third album and the follow up to 20102s gorgeous epic . Pitchfork has details [...]
Wet pavements, windy nights and dreamscapes filled with all the things you love…and all the things you're afraid of. That's what you get when you're listening to Austria's Our Ceasing Voice. Music Player: 01_Our_Ceasing_Voice_-_For_Dar kness_Fears_The_Light.mp3 [...]
What a shitty one today is. My throat is sore and I'm more tired than ever, so will most likely miss the Michael Møller concert at Louisiana tonight. Bummer! Went to a birthday Tuesday evening and spent parts of the evening chatting with a 50 year old attorney. By that I obviously don't mean that there is anything wrong in being either 50 years old or an attorney. But at some point we (of course) ended up talking about music and must admit I [...]
É o que dá ir de férias: quando voltamos há uma pilha de trabalho à nossa espera em cima da secretária. Neste caso, a secretária é a nossa caixa de e-mail e a pilha as newsletters que vamos recebendo a anunciar concertos. Como se não bastasse, todas as que interessam noticiar chegam-nos ao mesmo tempo. Parece que fazem de propósito. Adiante: o Musicbox não quer ficar atrás das boas agendas que já por aí foram anunciadas e tem, até Dezembro, nomes para todos os gostos. A começar já neste mês, quando a 15 de Setembro receber o norte-americano da electrónica [...]

Tweet Sorry SGTMT readers (Tom & Tim), we've been a little quiet recently due to busy work / holidays etc. However, we just had to break our self imposed curfew for this Mike Skinner remix of Benjamin Francis Leftwich . I'll freely admit to not being a big Benny FL fan but everything Mike Skinner puts hands to turns to, well perhaps not gold, but a darn good tune at least. I'll quit the words as [...]
Blah Blah Blah are a new unsigned band from Chicago. Comprised of two friends from Iowa and two Chicago musicians, the midwestern quartet started to find their footing in 2010 after being voted one of the Chicago Tribune's next bands on the verge of breaking BIG-TIME. For their new project, Thank You, Thank You, the band decided to ditch the ease of digital by recording the entire EP in analog reel-to-reel on 2-inch tape. Here is the new single and video for "Why Am I The Only One Laughing". [...]
Smooth power-poppers Blah Blah Blah are back with a new EP, titled Thank You Thank You , set to drop on Friday, August 20. The new EP's first single, "Why Am I The Only One Laughing," has already gotten the video treatment. The clip, elegantly filmed in black and white, features the band rocking a masquerade party that may or may not be the set of Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut . Anyway, the sleek look definitely fits with the song's mature, indie rock approach. If you dig "Why Am I The [...]

Here comes another post from the road. This time I'm mixed up in the hustle and bustle that is beautiful Des Moines, IA. Don't laugh too hard, I'm actually from here. Turns out so are two members of the Chicago ballroom rock quartet, Blah Blah Blah . The fact that I'm former high school classmates with both Solomon Moss (vocals, lead guitar) and Philip Ferguson (keys, guitar) is really inconsequential with regards to why I wanted to craft a post on their group. The truth is I genuinely enjoy their material and have listened to certain tracks from their [...]
… As this year has gone on I've kept a journal of sorts that simply catalogs the music that I have really really enjoyed. It's been much easier to just go back and reference it rathn than sitting and pondering and scratching my head thinking, "now what was my favorite music so far this year?" So to start off this celebratory week of my favorite music I've decided to break stuff up into different lists. First up is my favorite singles, 7"s, and other miscellanea that I've truly adored. I'm sorry but I'm not [...]
After the Grammy award winning Latin-infused math rock album The Bedlam in Goliath the peak of The Mars Volta's evolution into electronic inspiration had been reached. Lead guitarist and self-proclaimed "benign dictator" of the group Omar Rodriguez-Lopez's latest independent projects up to that point had been increasingly inspired by electronic music. It was obvious that the band was heading in that direction, especially when you consider the sound of their previous album Amputechture compared to the one before it, Frances the Mute. But when their fifth studio album Octahedron was released in 2009 it was almost [...]

News Band Name: Until Your Heart Stops Album Cover: Scenic, reflective stuff Runtime: 19 minutes If that doesn't sound hardcore, then pork rinds aren't greasy. It has to be rough for a band of this trade to release their debut EP — err … album - within the same month as Defeater's latest ear-ringer. Fortunately for [...]

This playlist has been mutating since the beginning of 2011 and to be honest I'm kind of fuzzy on what songs were initially there. I can tell you that some of these songs are by my friends, and that three of them (You Don't Surf, Losing It and Plastic Fangs) were added about fifteen minutes ago. More importantly I can tell you that this mixtape sounds exactly how I've been feeling for the past two weeks. Hopefully listening to it will be as soothing for you as making it has been for me.

It's getting hot out there, and so I'm bringing this spring series home with a massive post on DFA Records. DFA is short for Death From Above, and they probably need little to no introduction especially if, like me, you are looking forward to the upcoming LCD Soundsystem album . Back in 2002, the Warhol-Basquiat-postpunk stylings of LCD Soundsystem's "Losing My Edge" struck me like the lightning bolt in the logo. Since then DFA releases have become fixtures on electro dancefloors everywhere. The roster of artists on DFA are known for blending elements [...]
