Our man Flater may have left the Chippewa Valley for the 24/7 combination rave/orgy that is Chicago, but his bread-making, rubberband-headband and basketball shorts-wearing spirit is still here, persisting in the hearts and retinas of all who knew him and suffered the chronic snow-blindness that came from looking in the general direction of his immodestly exposed and highly reflective (bright, bright white) legs. God protect his soul navigating the dingy corridors of that non-stop feast of Saturnalia that is the windy city, that suppurating gas bladder of festering urbania, where the pizza sauce scandalously rests ON TOP of the cheese.

Tickets will go on sale for the general public February 10.
New music from Azealia Banks, Deerhoof (feat. David Bazan), The Dø and M.I.A.! That is a lot of great new music for one Single Serving. Thankfully, I think you can take it. What you waiting for: give 'em a play. Azealia Banks - Bambi Uhm, so the new Azealia Bank's track is mind-melting (and, uhm, very N.S.F.W.)! As it stands now, Banks only offers up only a brief, but fiery, rap in the center of the track surrounded by giggling and small talk-like narration, but Pitchfork reports [...]
By Alex Brenner Although I must say 2012 has been pretty good musically so far, I always find myself digging up some older records. When I say older I'm talking about late 902s and up, not the classics. Talking with fellow A-Lister Rube, the other night we did a little reminiscing and it got me thinking about some great records of the past. The ones where you say "Oh man, I have not heard that in forever!" I do listen to tons of new music too, however, these are some you may have forgotten about or [...]

O trio de art-rock Deerhoof possui uma proposta curiosa com uma série de EPs, nos quais convidados revisitam faixas do grupo e ganham um espaço para seu próprio trabalho no lado B do disquinho. Jeff Tweedy já havia participado desse projeto , com direito até mesmo à um lado B gravado com seus filhos. Agora é a vez de outro elogiado artista, David Bazan , reinventar o trabalho do Deerhoof , com uma versão da faixa No One Asked To Dance , presente originalmente no álbum Deerhoof vs. Evil , de [...]

San Francisco genre-bending trio Deerhoof has released the latest installment in its ongoing split 73 series, which already includes joint efforts with Jeff Tweedy, Xiu Xiu, and Busdriver. It's a collaboration with Pedro the Lion's David Bazan , aptly entitled DeerBazan, and Side A features "No One Asked Bazan To Dance", in which Bazan sings his own lyrics over an instrumental version of Deerhoof Vs. Evil 's "No One Asked To Dance" . Side B comprises Bazan's live rendition of the Headphones track "Gas And Matches". Stream "No One Asked Bazan To Dance" [...]

Tweet Listen to Deerhoof 's new song (feat. David Bazan ) "No One Asked Bazan to Dance" below. A couple of weeks ago Polyvinyl announced that they'd be releasing a new 73 single of a collaboration between Deerhoof and David Bazan called "No One Asked Bazan to Dance" . Yesterday the label released the track to listen to, a Spanish-influenced jam that [...]
Ever wondered what 'No One Asked To Dance' by Deerhoof would sound like if Satomi Matsuzaki's vocals were replaced with David Bazans ? Of course you have! We ask ourselves that question on the regular. Anyway, as if by magic (though we fully suspect Polyvinyl have been reading our diaries) the track has appeard online. It's taken from the Deerhoof/David Bazan split 7", which is out now on limited edition clear blue vinyl. Listen below, then order it here .
Hear the impressive collab and pick up the 7".
2011 was an exciting year for Andy Plank. He began his career in writing, the Packers won the Super Bowl , he rediscovered Comedy Bang Bang and he got big red glasses. He spent most of the 365 days between January 1 and December 31 listening to albums that came out early in the discographies of Weezer, Modest Mouse, Blink 182 and Jimmy Eat World. Every once in a while, however, he stopped being so bitter about all of his favorite bands that crumpled and faltered under the pressure of becoming popular and he listened to a few new [...]
Peter played to a jam-packed crowd at The Cabin in November Peter Miller is We Are The Willows, and we love his stuff . A Twin Cities man, he defines life in the fast lane. When he isn't hacking the homeland security mainframe, he's day-trading at the NYSE via bluetooth. This plus all the great music he makes amounts to a busy schedule. But, dear man that he is, he took to time to share his top 5 albums of 2011. We hope this list whets your curiosity and provides insight into just what makes [...]

Watch Chris Carrabba (Dashboard Confessional), David Bazan (Pedro the Lion), William Fitzsimmons, Noah and Abby Gundersen (The Courage), and Mariah McManus perform Bob Dylan and the Band's 'I Shall Be Released' for To Write Love on Her Arms.
In what was certainly the pinnacle of TWLOHA's Heavy and Light 2012 , Chris Carrabba, David Bazan, William Fitzsimmons, Mariah McManus, Noah Gundersen, and Abby Gundersen cover Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released".
My blog has always overlapped between music and my life, often times because the two intersect with my work in music in general- or because I'm a woman that likes to tell everyone everything? I hope you appreciate the sincerity, because I want you to feel like there's a real human on the other side of this thing. As most of you know, I'm a huge fan of Dave Bazan. I've seen him in handfuls of cities, in stranger's living rooms, and it's been easy to be loyal to his discography because I started separating from my religious [...]
I believe strongly in the work that Two Write Love On Her Arms does. I also believe in my love for William Fitzsimmons, Chris Carrabba (Dashboard Confessional) and David Bazan (Pedro The Lion). Together, they make up the 2012 edition of Heavy and Light, TWLOHA's annual benefit concert. I'll be there, and if you live in Orlando (or anywhere in the area - I'll be driving the 90ish miles from Tampa), it would be great if you would come, too. There are still tickets available for a mere $24 (no service charge).
Welcome to FWBA's best-of 2011. This has been such a meaningful year in music to me that it's tough to represent in one post. I'm going to be honest, this took me quite a long time. I wanted to do this year justice because personally, it was a total dream: living in San Diego working with some of my favorite artists, going to SXSW and Lollapalooza, seeing Dave Bazan in stranger's living rooms, Feist play a hometown show, saw tune-yards electrified show at Soda Bar clocking in as one of my favorite performances, watching Zach Rogue and my boyfriend playing [...]
