If it feels like things have been hectic of late, that's because they have been. October just tends to be that way around these parts, what with standard fall touring schedules pumping up the sho...

Apart from coming up with good songs and being able to play them live*, one of the hardest things new bands face these days is choosing a name. For example: Those of you who follow my Summer Fridays mix series (this week's the last one of 2011, by the way) may remember the song "Jeane" from Brooklyn trio Vacation that was featured way back in June . But there was already at least one other band called Vacation and a couple called Vacations, so they decided to change their name while it was easy to do so. [...]
Swedish rocker Robert Pehrsson ( Death Breath , Dundertåget ) recently recorded a couple new tracks at Gutterview Recorders with Nicke Andersson ( The Hellacopters , Imperial State Electric ) and Tomas Eriksson ( Captian Murphy ) and is streaming the rough mixes at myspace: http://www.myspace.com/robertp ehrsson
For over four years, Tom Morris has been playing with Her Name Is Calla, performing for sold-out audiences across the UK and Europe. This year, under the name T E Morris, he's recording and playing solo for the first time, stepping out of his post-rock image and creating new methods of songwriting. I first met Englishman Tom Morris this past spring when he toured through the venue where I work in Dresden, Germany. He opened a show for the American band Dark Dark Dark. Although it was his first European tour as a solo musician, he stole the audience's [...]

Here's a really sweet acoustic ditty from Spencer Livingston, lead singer of the Alternates. A la AA Bondy or Jeff Tweedy. Listen and melt: Now go listen to Livingston's band. Just back in LA from a NW coast foray, Americana rockers, the Alternates, have a killer new EP out called Spiders and Webs. (Check out [...]
One of the massive highlights of life is when you find someone who is truly passionate about what they believe in and what they want to make. Dan Falvey , owner and overlord of new label Fat Cat sub-label Palmist is one of those people, and you can see his passion in the interview, and in the fantastic quality of his releases. Launching the label with a series of iconic looking split 12"s, he's already got some amazing talent on board and it seems the only way is up for the label. He spoke to us about [...]

Dan Smith and Matt Kimmel. Photo credit: Colleen Durkin for the Chicago Reader Matt Kimmel and Dan Smith closed a venue last weekend, but this weekend they are opening minds. The sun set Saturday on Glow Sticks, a DIY noise music space in Wicker Park whose name conjures rave culture, but whose spirit is more akin to a symphony hall. (It's called noise, but ironically you have to be very quiet to appreciate it.) The usual suspects—the diehards who you'll always see at these shows, which [...]
You know a remix is pretty good when the original artist mutters something along the lines of 'can we go back and make this the radio version' on Facebook. We think Sound of Arrows would have been WRONG to run with the Archlight remix of 'Nova' when they released it last month, but since the track charted God-knows-where, it probably couldn't have done any harm. The Archlight remix is darker, more minimal and more underground than the synthpop original as well as being much longer. At over 7 minutes, daytime radio bosses would have [...]
:: Country Mice - Festival mp3 :: This one grabbed hold of me like a stickaburr from the hill country. Rustic rock brought to you from Brooklyn via the Midwest. Look forward to their debut album, Twister, in June. :: Hunx and His Punx - Lovers Lane mp3 :: Naughty but clean here, Hunx injects [...]

While sorting through cyber-mountains of files during re-entry to the Luxury Wafers atmosphere, I ran across this video of one of my all-time most memorable and favorite sessions: Crystal Antlers. Oh man. Awesome. Details of the session are blurry in my memory. From the calendar, I know it was late afternoon in July of 2009. [...]
Iron and Wine, the band formerly aka simply Sam Beam, has expanded to Beam and friends in their latest release, Kiss Each Other Clean (which actually doesn't drop 'till 1/25/2011 - pre-order here). You can listen to the album in its entirety on the aesthetically groovy player below, courtesy of Iron and Wine/Team Coco. (Catch Iron [...]
