Just as Bradford Cox is covering Leonard Cohen . And Deerhunter is also releasing a brand new song . And we're certain things in the Deerhunter camp couldn't possibly get any livelier. On Valentine's Day, Audraglint will release a split 103 showcasing the unknown side-project of the lesser spotted Deerhunter, Lockett Pundt. Embarking under the name Lotus Plaza on side one, he's rocking another project called Nice Weekend on side two...a quirky collaboration of romance with his fiancée, Shayda Yavari. Just when you thought Bradford was [...]
Mientras esperamos el nuevo álbum de Lotus Plaza, proyecto paralelo del guitarrista de Deerhunter Lockett Pundt, podemos escuchar el single "Come back", una aventura dream pop de nueve minutos, notoriamente salida de la fábrica creativa de Bradford Cox y sus satélites.

Next week - the 14th February - Lotus Plaza will release a split 103 single which will feature a new song entitled "Come Back," ahead of a new album due in the unspecified future on Kranky. As well as this, a collaboration between Lotus Plaza - aka Deerhunter guitarist Lockett Pundt - and Nice Weekend will be on the flip side of the 103, which is a rather charming combination of artists since Nice Weekend's Shayda Yavari is Pundt's fiancée. Suddenly that release date makes much more sense. Anyway, the vinyl - limited to 500 - will be out in [...]

When you compile a list like this, you start to tremble at how much you're really going to absorb in the ensuing months. This doesn't even cover the misses and surprises. If you're a casual listener, you might get through an album a day. Okay, maybe two. If you're a fanatic, you're spinning discographies left and right. Still, after 365 days, either person is buzzing. One's just a little louder with the phonetics. As I wrote back in December, in a year, you'll have your next roundup of favorite albums. You'll have a new favorite song. You might [...]

Here's a collection of songs by local artists that just missed my 2011 blogging season. All of these deserve their own blog post, but I haven't had the time. So instead, I used them to build a mixtape. You can click on the album art images below to find more about each song: Shook Foil : "The Monument" Cute Boots [...]
So...I suppose I'm a tad bit late to the year-end-best-of-lists party but oh well. Josh already offered up his favorite tracks in the year-end best-of playlist and, while our lists have a lot of crossover, I thought I'd offer up my favorite 50 tracks from the past year. I've struggled with the idea of trying to put a 'best-of' stamp on anything I listen to based solely on the fact that I'm not all that comfortable with the idea of ranking all the tracks I love. This is more a representation of all my favorite tracks from [...]
