Monday, June 25, 2012 Today's Quick Mention: Tonight I'm off to see Ted. I think it should be a good bit of R-rated fun, but I realize there's also a large chance it'll just be terrible. Look for a breakdown later in the week. Today's music was found in an old shoebox. Enjoy. : Chomp - Throw Out Your Wish List : Joe Boyer has done work with Cloud Nothings and Total Babe, so it [...]
Here is this week's music singles chart for the week ending April 15 - 21. So we have a new #1 and it goes to Kingston's PS I Love You.

We have high octane garage from the Fresh & Onlys with a non-album cut that appears on the new Mexican Summer / Software sampler and some more classic rock courtesy of White Denim . To finish [...]

This piece was originally to be entitled "Introducing: Bear Driver" but upon beginning the customary, and of course rigorous, research I discovered that to do so would be pretty inappropriate. The reason being that this 6 piece collective, originally from Leeds but now based in London, have been making waves for a little while now. Last summer they played at both Reading and End Of The Road Festival whilst also grabbing supporting slots for Everything Everything and Bombay Bicycle Club as well as releasing their first single, Wolves. The question I was now asking is why has it taken so [...]
A sit down with the two sisters behind Swedish phenomenon First Aid Kit reveals details about their childhood, rise to recognition, songwriting process, and notable influences. Though just 17 and 19, they show why youth is not an obstacle in achieving success. Their highly enjoyable vein of folk-pop speaks volumes on its own.
