Ida: "Tellings"

Ida - Tellings
I don't think I've ever mentioned Ida here before (aside from monthly mix inclusions), but they're one of my very favorites and Autumn is the perfect time for listening to them, so here we are. They wrote some of the most honest, heartbreaking songs I've laid ears on and "Tellings" is one of their finest. This live version from 1996 is beautiful!

D.I.Y.

Mar 2, 2009, 12:50am the finest kiss
Back in the early 90's Simple Machines put a pamphlet that they called the Mechanic's Guide. It was a how-to guide for putting out a record and starting a record label. The guide outlined the steps it takes to put out a 7 inch record, cassette and compact disc and covered all the bases from designing the sleeve, to getting the tracks mastered and finally how to sell them. Back in the day, you used to have to write them to order a copy, now you can click a link and read [...]

The Raymond Brake is Dead! Long Live The Raymond Brake!

Mar 1, 2009, 6:42pm Your New Favorite Song
The Raymond Brake is Dead! Long Live The Raymond Brake! Piles of Perfect Guitars! Hailing from Greensboro, North Carolina, The Raymond Brake was the sound of boys growing up in the shadow of Superchunk, Archers of Loaf, and Polvo, and yet remarkably finding their own unique voice. Profoundly in love with the chaos and rush from tube amps pushing heat beyond broadcasts, The Raymond Brake's debut Piles of Dirty Winter introduced an enthusiastic band whose beauty was in the innocence and impetuousness of romantic youth. Why start a band really, if one is not willing to turn volume knobs skyward and right. [...]

Overheard on last night's Gossip Girl: One ... [Xoxo, I Don't Watch This Show]

Overheard on last night's Gossip Girl: One ... [Xoxo, I Don't Watch This Show] Overheard on last night's Gossip Girl : One character demanding that another "swear on your Simple Machines 7-inches." These kids are apparently supposed to be in high school now, mind, yet they're fetishizing vinyl that I bought in college. Anyway, it's probably too much of a stretch to think that the Washington setting of this season's 24 will result in Jack Bauer et al crashing through an Evens gig at Fort Reno during the "7-8 p.m." episode, right?

First Three Ida Records Released On Vinyl

Dec 18, 2008, 11:27am The Tripwire
Brooklyn stalwarts Ida have been doing indie since before it was cool. So long in fact that they started when CDs had a higher premium than vinyl. But now that all the kids are buying those funny looking, retro black vinyl discs again, the timing is right to release their first three records on wax for the first time ever. Ida formed in 1992, mainly comprised of the duo of Daniel Littleton and Elizabeth Mitchell - who later married in 1999 - and also featuring Karla Schickele [...]
