![[Listen/Download] – Soft Pipes – "Stay Pretty"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3736410_lg.jpg)
Tweet The way "Stay Pretty" kicks off with the line "goodbye my dear looks like you weren't the one", I was expecting a typical backhanded compliment kind of negative time-to-split song. Only with every line it sinks in that this has to be one of the more optimistic break-up songs to ever be created. My complete respect is for this song. I can't help but wonder why someone who handles splitting up like an adult rather than some jealous 13 year old is so [...]

Soft Pipes is the musical project of Anthony Polcino of Low Vs. Diamond and the track "Stay Pretty" comes from the EP of the same name (out September 27th). Soft Pipes - Stay Pretty by buzzbands I'm a man of few words today...
Anthony Polcino emerged from the shadow of his role as guitarist in Low Vs Diamond last autumn, when, doing business as Soft Pipes , he self-released a very good homemade album "When You're Done Here You Get to Go Home." Since then, abetted by Christopher Pappas and Miracle Parade , Polcino has assembled a live band and started to stretch out. Soft Pipes' forthcoming new EP, "Stay Pretty," represents the songwriter "going for it a little more," he says, with a bigger sound, grander atmospherics and more sophisticated instrumentation. The change-of-pace chorus in the title track [...]
Well, it looks like lead-vocalist for Low vs Diamond, Lucas Field, has been quite busy over the last six months. After playing a few shows with Annie Stela, it appears Lucas has been playing a ...

New Jersey native Anthony Polcino kept his own music in the background while he played guitar in the Los Angeles' Low Vs Diamond , but when that quintet "slowed down, or fizzled out" after touring behind its 2008 album, Polcino says, he got to work in his West Hollywood apartment. ||| Stream/download: "Golden Grace" His debut album as Soft Pipes , "When You're Done Here You Get to Go Home," recently self-released, shimmers with melody and atmospherics, speaking to Polcino's "love of reverb, [...]
[Birthday cheers go out to Cedric Bixler-Zavala today as we take a look at a busy midweek show lineup ...] The album-as-concert concept gets realized at two L.A. venues tonight — the Pixies start a three-night run at the Palladium with their 20-year-old masterwork "Doolittle" on the menu (L.A. duo No Age opens), and Frank Black talks about the reunion here . And Devo does a second night at the Fonda Theatre, this one to perform its 1980 album "Freedom of Choice." ... [...]
Get out your Bumbershoot, it's raining! Of the past four years, this was my first Bumbershoot experience in the rain, which is pretty awesome, considering it's Seattle . This was my second year of the 3-day pass experience. Aside from the people in walking traffic that pause whenever they please, the Labor Day weekend is near perfection. (I could also happily go a few days without seeing any neon clad 14 year olds making out.) Not only was the rain a first for my Bumbershoot experience, but this was also the first year I [...]
Another busy Bumbershoot. Lots to see and do. Songs will be linked to a video when possible. We started our weekend with Natalie Portman's Shaved Head . A crazy, fun Seattle band. Best song? Check out Sophisticated Side Ponytail . Luke Smith Claire England Shaun Libman [...]
Deastro , the nom de tune of synth-wielding 22-year-old Randoph Chabot [pictured] of Detroit, released his debut album, "Moondagger," this week, and fans of the likes of M83 and New Order will want to have a listen. [Download, via Pitchfork: "Vermillion Plaza." ] Deastro visits Spaceland tonight, supported by Telephone Jim Jesus . ... Wilco ends its L.A. stand at the Wiltern, with Okkervil River supporting. ... Big night for the new Friends of Friends label — it launches with a party at the Echoplex featuring Daedelus , Peanut Butter Wolf and [...]
Standing just to the right of the stage at the Bowery, I'm trying to mask my disappointment in Low vs. Diamond. Other than their wholesale theft of LCD Soundsystem's Sounds of Silver font (just look), what is this band really about? My list of grievances is long and somewhat irrelevant. Their singer looks like a kid you wouldn't take seriously in high school. In fact, if it weren't for supportive
via shervinfoto.com Now that the summer is more or less here, the area is starting to get some great shows during the week. A few bands are stopping through the area with a couple of dates, so whether you are in Philly, Baltimore or DC, you should get a chance to see them. Here is a run down of the highlights through Thursday. Tuesday DC has the pick of the litter with three great shows to satisfy [...]
[Notebook entries, once sentence apiece ...] Wolfmother [visit the site to sign up for the download of the new single "Back Round"] sure was great a couple Fridays ago in the Natural History Museum's Mammals Hall (imagine that), but I was surprised that the set started and ran so late, since the museum's First Fridays events usually wrap up by around 10. ... Speaking of Australians, I hear that SXSW buzz-makers the Temper Trap are signing to Glassnote [...]
[We bid April adieu with fond birthday wishes for Willie Nelson ...] Quite a night in the city, starting with the sold-out Pablove Foundation benefit at the Echoplex, which will be emceed by Shirley Manson and features Silversun Pickups and Eulogies . ... Upstairs at the Echo, it's a special occasion for two local bands — it's the album-release party for Downtown/Union's "Aurora Ahora" [ preview ] and the EP-release show for Xu Xu Fang's "Seven Days Now" [ preview ].

Now for a busy night on the club circuit ...] She won me as a fan as South by Southwest , and now Thao Nguyen — that's Thao With the Get Down Stay Down to the uninitiated — hits the Hotel Cafe for a big show with Samantha Crain and Sister Suvi . (And Jesca Hoop follows that set.) ... Vienna Teng brings her lovely piano-based compositions to the Roxy. ... Tijuana-reared [...]

I'm: -Streaming Kingdom of Rust , new album from Doves ( myspace ). -Watching the new videos on IMF.tv ( Silversun Pickups 'Panic Switch' , Phoenix with Lisztomania on SNL , Tongue / Bye Bye and Golden You by Ryland Bouchard on La Blogotheque, and 'Harmless Lovers Discourse' by Odawas ). -Sniffling a little bit, but not spinning anymore. -Writing about Efterklang . -Digging The Faux Noise , check out [...]
A lot of bands spent a lot of time on the road, but it's pretty hard to argue that anyone rakes up the millage as much as the rockers of Low Vs Diamond . Since the release of its self-titled debut last April, the Los Angeles outfit has basically been touring nonstop, splitting time between festivals , late night talk shows , and engagements with Nickle Eye . So, perhaps it should come as little surprise that Low Vs Diamond has announced plans to spend the rest of 2009 on the road, kicking off this week [...]
Somebody has deep pockets. The teenage L.A. rock band Acidic won an eBay auction to play a main-stage slot at Sunday's second day of the Bamboozle Left Festival at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre — with a bid of more than $13,000. The money benefits the One Love for Chi Foundation, the charity that is helping Deftones bassist Chi Cheng with his medical expenses as he recovers from a injuries he sustained in an auto accident in November. The Green Day-channeling Acidic, fronted by 16-year-old Michael Gossard, will play at 2 p.m. Sunday, about 16 hours after [...]
