"In their eyes I would be strange and ragged and like the prophet who has walked across the land to bring the dark word the only word I had was 'wow'." - Kerouac The greatest spectacle in music (I've heard they have movies too) has just wrapped up and for all it's brilliance and mind [...]
![[SXSW] – Cloud Nothings](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4143017_lg.jpg)
Of all the bands full of talent, energy, and passion I was able to see at SXSW2012 Cloud Nothings' Warehouse set was the best I caught all week. I typically sleep through most hours of daylight and the last thing my body wanted to do after four straight days of steady PBR ingestion, food-truck meals, standing-drinking-sweating, wash-rinse-repeat was to once again make my way through the ridiculous Austin traffic that I avoid at all cost on most days, better yet with the circus of South-By in town, and look for [...]

![[Watch] – New Video By Cloud Nothings – “Nothing’s Wrong”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3269807_lg.jpg)
Oh how the love between a man and his shopping cart can really take its toll. This new video for Cloud Nothings ' latest single "Nothing's Wrong" shows just how far that love can go, and the lengths us guys will go to just to keep the wee guy all to ourselves, but I do have a few gripes about the vid. Firstly, everyone knows that only green shopping carts are protective of their owners and this video portrays blue shopping carts in a positive light, something they should not be portrayed in. Secondly, that [...]
Keeping raw talent and power confined to a tiny space like this is unfair. What were you thinking, Dodge? Stick them out in the garden or something where their sound can carry through the trees and soar on the wings of an eagle (cheesy enough?). This new and untitled song (although I'm gonna go ahead and call it "We Can't Get Old Too Soon") was performed for Laundro Matinee and unleashed a couple of days ago, and it's typical Cloud Nothings doing what they do best; jingly, jangly, Lo-Fi Hobo-Rock, catchy and seemingly always [...]
I'd say I'm about 906% sure that the concept for this video for Cloud Nothings ' latest single "Understand At All" , was to pay homage to the title of the song as much as possible, because I've got absolutely no clue what's going on. Well, I know what's going on, I just have no idea what it means. One thing I do know is that if I ever see this old due in the street (or if his name's Reese and he wants his candy back ) I'm just gonna let him do his [...]
![[Listen] – Debut Album By Cloud Nothings – “Cloud Nothings”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3132877_lg.jpg)
It's peanut butter jelly time album-proper-time for Cloud Nothings , the much-lauded and muchly anticipated four-piece from Cleveland, Ohio. Do you have 30 minutes to spare 'cause that's all it'll take to get through this album? Sit down, kick off your feet, wriggle outta those pants, put on your headphones and hope that your boss doesn't mind when they saunter past. Mastermind Dylan Baldi isn't even 20 yet but he's already amassed a huge and burgeoning following based on the plethora of songs he's been steadily putting out over the last year and [...]
I'm actively killing music and the industry of which it's a part of, just like home taping did and still does (peeps still home-tape, right?). Over the last couple of months myself and Riley from the awesome blog The Leaving Scene have been sharing some of the hardest-to-find and lesser-known Cloud Nothings tracks between ourselves and it's been heightening my anticipation for their self-titled LP due out on January 24th via Carpark. Back at the start of November we got our first listen to what's to come from said album in the [...]
This morning NME premiered a brand new track by Clevelanders (Clevelandonians?) Cloud Nothings from their upcoming self-titled debut album due out in January via Carpark. Dylan Baldi, the 19 year-old dude behind Cloud Nothings, and his band of ravenous-for-the-jingle-jangle upstarts released "Turn Me On" last year, a compilation of sorts on Bridgetown Records, winning over many journo, blogger, music fan, and everyone in between. This new jam is from his upcoming album and has the same skeeze-driven Lo-Fi sound as with his other stuff, but this time it sounds like he's been recording in an actual [...]
This post is a "QuickPick". QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that's sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it's so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I "star" it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later. If it's still as good as it was a day before then it goes up on the site, but sometimes I get backlogged and can't get through writing up pieces for each [...]
