The rock world was shocked when R.E.M. announced their breakup earlier this year. Though the band may be gone, they'll be leaving us with a final greatest hits album entitled Part Lies Part Heart Part Truth Part Garbage 1982-2011 . From the same label, expect a new Tegan and Sarah album out. There are a few interesting live compilations this week as well. One pays tribute to John Lennon and another is a collection of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performances. Indie fans should [...]
Newport is a festival for people who don't really like full-on camping festivals. Everyone sits down, there are places specifically for shade, there are only two designated places to get drunk and the artists all begin on time. It is a family festival – a music fans festival. Sure, it doesn't offer the same sort of experience that the larger events can, but unlike those, you can actually relax and listen to the music. And oh, what amazing music it is. Newport can easily boast the largest density of legends this summer, with modern folk and true [...]
Oddfuture gets in a little scafuffle and then everyone but Tyler packs up and goes... Pretty impressed with Tyler rest of the wolfpack is soft... What does this do to the odds in their next scrap against lesbian indie rockers tegan and Sarah for talking mad shit? Quin has penned a letter attacking the lyrical content on Tyler, the Creator's latest album, Goblin: When will misogynistic and homophobic ranting and raving result in meaningful repercussions in the entertainment industry? When will they be treated with the same seriousness as racist and anti-Semitic [...]
Theophilus London is just so different from every other rapper right now, it's impossible not to love what he's doing. Yesterday he dropped his new single which features, Sara from Tegan & Sara, called "Why Even Try" The sounds on here should be heard light years from now, because this is some serious ahead of it's time music. How can you just respect an artist that pushes a boundary on a sound that no one has truly explored before. He has such a knack for making the smoothest harmony, and doesn't just his his female guest as an automatic [...]

From Wu-Tang Killer Bee's to indie rocks favorite (only?) identical lesbian twin sisters Tegan & Sara. Just go with it, I think abstract but it makes sense, I promise. I have a bunch of new music to put it but as I was writing another post Walking With A Ghost came on thanks to my iTunes shuffle and I was taken back to one of my life's favorite years - 2004. I was a senior in college at the time and so relating to any relationship songs was not exactly happening but this song made sense. [...]

The UK indie group The Joy Formidable, has released a haunting single for the holidays in their song "My Beerdrunk Soul is Sadder Than a Hundred Dead Christmas Trees". While the title seems somewhat drawn out, the song is not. After the sleigh bells shake gently, the epic minor key melody kicks in, accented perfectly by vocalist/guitarist Ritzy. Their sound is as big as anything the Arcade Fire have done and there's only three members in the band! This drama filled single is not to be missed this holiday season. The Joy Formidable - My [...]

It seems AGAINST ME! are on a mission to make a video for every song on their most recent album, New Wave . With such a solid album chock full of great tunes, it's not terribly hard to see why that's an alluring option. The latest is for "Borne On The FM Waves Of The Heart," aka the ballad/duet on the record. It's a strong song that could work on making fans of mellower music AM! fans. Tegan Quinn ( Tegan And Sarah ) handles the female vocal duties on the [...]
Dust off your dancing shoes and stretch the fuck out 'cause this weekend is gonna be crazy at the Treasure Island Music Festival!!!! When I first moved to San Francisco and I was a broke ass college student, I lived on Treasure Island. We used to have awesome ravey dance parties on the rocks along the bay at like 7am after long nights of heavy drinking and drug use, needless to say, I'm pretty stoked to party at my old
According to their Myspace, Jak and Sophie of Before I Explode met in a queue, a very long queue, and from that point started to collaborate over MSN. The result of their collaboration is the most beautiful dream pop I've heard this year. Simply beautiful. The beats click and thump like a gentle rain against a window while Sophie's beautiful voice and Jak's instrumentation provide luminous melody. Once you play a song you'll be hooked. Before I Explode! is one to watch in 2008-2009. Before I Explode! - It's Beautiful Up Here [...]
