To keep it a little more hip, the walls feature film posters like A Clockwork Orange, [...]

Ty Segall and White Fence to get Hair-y

Feb 3, 8:31am Chromewaves

Ruth Swanson Seeing San Francisco's Ty Segall at Halifax Pop Explosion 2010 was one of the most unexpectedly rowdy/violent shows I've ever been in the middle of, which was a bit surprising considering that as rough and garage-y as his stuff is, it's not all that heavy. Certainly not the obvious soundtrack for the bedlam that ensued that evening. Maybe it was just Halifax. Anyways, despite enjoying his music well enough, I've made a point of avoiding his shows as the odds of me getting kicked in the head seem to [...]

Watch: M. Ward - "The First Time I Ran Away"

Feb 2, 6:52pm Direct Current

Monster Folk-er as well as the Him of She and Him, M. Ward gets positively cuddly on this Nick Drake-ian song set to a One Eskimo-styled animated charm. For some reason we keep thinking of imbibing some hot chocolate on a cold day (with extra marshmallows) or that episode of Seinfeld when George explores his fantasy of wrapping himself in nothing but velvet. From his forthcoming album A Wasteland Companion , due April 10. More DC here .
