It's got to be good to be Glen Hansard these days. Over the last five-plus years, the Irish singer-songwriter starred in the critically acclaimed movie Once, won an Oscar for Best Original Song, toured relentlessly with The Swell Season, while concurrently being filmed for a documentary, and is now seeing his work on the big screen adapted into a Broadway musical. Hansard isn't slowing down either, as on June 19 he will release his solo debut Rhythm and Repose , via Anti- Records. Much like his Swell Season band mate Marketa Irglova's debut, Hansard's album was also inspired [...]

Everyone knows this is out, but my co-blogger isn't a fan so I've snuck it in while he's away (I did say he sometimes has cloth ears). Anyway, everyone knows Titus Andronicus have posted a mixtape for free download - over an hour of music, often live, with lots of covers, many by bands who are clearly inspirations to the band. So there's a good version of the Replacements' 'Treatment Bound', the closest that glorious band of drunks and losers ever came to a manifesto. It's not quite as ragged as the original but hell there'll never be another band [...]
![[mp3] Titus Andronicus // Upon Viewing Oregon’s Landscape with the Flood of Detritus](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4151924_lg.jpg)
Tweet vaso link Last week Will introduced you all to a few new songs by everyone's favorite New Jersey rockers Titus Andronicus. My reaction to that post was twofold: first I was elated that Titus had new material forthcoming, but then my competitive nature kicked in and I clenched my fist and quietly muttered "Will!" and set forth to outdo him somehow. Today, victory is mine! Titus Andronicus have released a mixtape through their tumblr presence that not [...]
Aunque los chicos de Titus Andronicus perdieron no hace mucho a una de sus integrantes, pues Amy Klein decidió retirarse de la banda para abrazar proyectos propios, esto no significa que el grupo haya parado su actividad, de hecho, es todo lo contrario, pues ya se encuentran ultimando los detalles de su nuevo disco, programado para salir en algún punto de este año. Todavía no hay muchas noticias respecto a este nuevo lanzamiento, aunque la agrupación ya estrenó algunos temas nuevos en la presentación que dieron como parte [...]

The indie rock group drop a 23-track effort featuring: covers, live recordings and more!

Not to cause you any disquiet so early on a Monday, but Titus Andronicus' The Monitor is now over two years old. Smacking everyone in the face back in March 2010, the group's second album dared to bring a heady slice of pure guitar cool back; stuffed to the brim with marching drums, Civil War battle speeches and that guitar riff on A More Perfect Union. Luckily for us, though, they're lining up their follow up as you read. Whilst that's still a bit away, they have acted like the cool bros [...]

Mixtape: If Presidents Liked Indie Rock (Podcast #273) Despite their various political differences, if there's one thing that we know all U.S. presidents have shared, it's that they have horrible taste in music. Seriously, most candidates pick cheesy, corny songs for their campaigns, and it's not like anything gets better after they get elected. Even President Obama, who ran on a platform of hope and change, recently released a Spotify playlist with a lot of duds (Ricky Martin? Two songs by Sugarland? James Taylor? A 15-year-old No Doubt deep cut?) crowding out [...]

MIXTAPE MONDAYS! I would guess about half the music I end up loving comes from mixtapes, so of course Monday is easily my favorite fucking day of the week to share new stuff with y’all. Hence the exclamation point and generally overly excited disposition. This week is off the fucking hinges with all kinds of treats with mixes from Stay+ and Bonobo, Dinowalrus/Blizzardo’s Pete Feigenbaum’s Acid House mix for Sup Mag, Dropping Gems Records second edition of exclusive tracks and UUUUUUU AAAAAAA. Mondays don’t suck. You just need better tunes. [...]

Ya sabemos que cada tanto Spin saca algún disco exclusivo para recomendar bandas nuevas, hacer compilados especiales o directamente rendir el correspondiente homenaje a algún conjunto que en esa oportunidad se lo merezca. Siguiendo los lineamientos del último caso, la publicación sacará el 26 de julio, dentro de escasos días, un disco exclusivo en el cual diversas bandas realizan un cover de alguna de las canciones del emblemático disco que, pasados ya algunos años - 20, para ser terriblemente precisos -, cambió el lugar de la música independiente dentro del [...]
Yesterday, we published the first half of 50 Fourth of July Songs about America, fireworks, summer, patriotism, freedom, and other themes that are fitting for a 4th of July mixtape playlist. Afterall, you probably know how much we love making and sharing mixtapes and playlists with tens of thousands of people from around the world [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

Photograph by Handsome Joel Hansen The holidays tend to be rife with tension, and our Ca Va Cool family is no exception. Picking only 20 albums from 20102s offerings is tricky; every year, some fantastic records/EPs/tracks are overlooked. Our super-secret ranking process starts from civilized debate and degenerates into name-calling, tantrums and sulking. To pacify the whiners and to give you, the readers, more awesome music, we present our 2010 mixtape. Thanks for reading us, and happy 2011! Ca Va Cool 2010 Mixtape - Disc One 1. School [...]
