Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Music , New Releases ANTI- Nick Diamonds never repeats himself. Whether he's focused on indie-rock supergroup Mister Heavenly or his main project, Islands , Diamonds -- who also co-fronted the now-defunct Unicorns -- is never short on inspiration. But his constant experimentation apparently leaves some listeners feeling a little put off. "I feel like I've lost a lot of [...]
I'll say a final prayer for those I care for, who kept my company Follow Owl and Bear on Facebook and Twitter for contests, MP3s, and links that don't make it onto the blog.
Track Review Cover: You might know Nick Diamonds best from his work as frontman for Islands or his past stint with Unicorns. Nick Diamonds - [...]

Photography by Me ... Well my friends, the time has come. The break the rules and have some fun. It's been a nutty 4+ someodd years over here at tsururadio, we've gone through a lot of changes, did everything from mixtapes to vinyl rips, contests to out and out giveaways, we always tried to have fun and keep ourselves in check that we are just music bloggerin', like 4 kabillion other kids out there on the wide world interconnected super highway of love canals. But as [...]
Album solista di Nick Diamonds (al secolo Nick Thorburn), frontman degli Islands ed Unicorns.

Nick Diamonds is former Unicorns and Islands members Nick Thorburn. The Diamond man releases today, I Am an Attic, an 11-song digital LP available on Bandcamp for whatever price you see fit. Expect a lot of the same "serious absurdity" and "measured goofiness" you've come to expect from Thorburn's releases with Unicorns and Islands. Attic is most defnitely cut from a similar sort of cloth. The whimsical lead track "Attic" is the standout of the set. You can get more info on Nick and I Am an Attic here [...]

Check out the new solo album from former Islands, Unicorns and current Mistery Heavenly member Nick "Diamonds" Thorburn. The album I Am an Attic is available via Diamonds' Bandcamp page in which you can name your own price to obtain the LP. If you spend $10+, you get bonus 6 track EP titled the "I Am an E.P.".

Nick Thorburn , más conocido como Nick Diamonds , anunció recientemente vía Twitter la salida de su disco solista, I Am An Attic . Además de las grabaciones y las giras con el supergrupo Mister Heavenly - que tuvo a Michael Cera de bajista invitado- el canadiense oriundo de Vancouver encontró algo de tiempo para grabar un disco de 11 canciones que se puede escuchar en su bandcamp. Diamonds , integrante también de [...]
Lead Island, ex-Unicorn, present Mssr. Heavenly Nick Thorburn has made good on his years-old promise to gift us with a free album, despite wondering along the way (and even this morning ) about its quality. He's seemed genuinely uncertain, though after hearing the pretty pair of preview tracks we posted last winter ( "Gone Bananas" and "Used To Be Funny" , which has lyrics reflecting all this self-doubt) it's a relief he's decided to share the whole platter. Stream or download it below via his Bandcamp , free (" for a bit [...]

Mister Heavenly είναι το κεφάτο project των Honus Honus ( Man Man), Joe Plummer (Modest Mouse), και Nick Diamonds ( Unicorns/Islands)οι οποίοι παρουσιάζονται κατ' αρχήν δωρεάν.

Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Releases Courtesy of Man Man Man Man do not do anything the easy way. When Spinner spoke with moustachioed singer and keyboardist Honus Honus the day before their new record, 'Life Fantastic,' drops, the Philadelphia spaz-rock-wizard-clan were somewhere in Albuquerque, N.M., transferring gear from their just-broken-down van into a U-Haul. "People are gonna be like, 'Man Man's ballin'!'" says Honus, with characteristic black [...]

Link: http://www.papermag.com/2011/0 3/sxsw_a_mister_heavenly_repor t.php I just saw these pictures of the potentially popular indie buzzband Mister Heavenly eating lunch 2gether. I am surprised to see them hanging out off stage because many critics have sensed 'tons of tension' within the band because they think that Michael Cera is just a meme hyping scheme that has caused Nick Diamonds and Honus Honus 2 'get insecure' abt their role in the band. Sorta like how all of the Beatles are jealous of Ringo [...]

Last year, members of Man Man , Islands , and Modest Mouse joined forces to create the band Mister Heavenly , who have recently signed their "doom-wop" sound to Sub Pop Records. While we only had live video footage + audio rips from their short tour to give us any idea of what "doom-wop" truly is, today we have two digital singles that have been released to further your understanding! Listen to the tracks "Mister [...]

Recently, the ALT REPORT has become the #1 source for tracking Michael Cera 's buzzband, Mister Heavenly . The site has done its best to attempt to gauge the reception of the band, and their adapatation to having some1 as famous as Michael Cera in their band. Many times, the article blog posts assume that the band is managing feelings of 'jealousy' for the famous Cera, but at the same time, understanding that it is good for their band if they 'milk' all of the attention on Cera. It seems like [...]

Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Music It's not every day you see a supergroup composed of two indie frontmen, a drummer from a Top 40 band and a movie star, but then again, Mister Heavenly isn't your everyday supergroup. Comprised of duel lead singers Honus Honus ( Man Man ) and Nick Diamonds ( Islands / ex-Unicorns), drummer Joe Plummer ( Modest Mouse ) and, at least for now, comedic heavyweight Michael Cera , [...]

(yes, this is the best pic my crappy cam could capture) Mister Heavenly , the super-ish trio of Nick "Diamonds" Thorburn ( The Unicorns / Islands ), Honus Honus ( Man Man ), and Joe Plummer ( Modest Mouse ), played their third show last night. And yet again they were joined by Michael Cera on bass. Apparently he's only playing with the band during their current tour opening for Passion Pit . The show was surprisingly great. A surprise since, well, they [...]
