Mixtape: Twenty Bands at Noise Pop 20 (Podcast #271) Noise Pop 20 is just weeks away. From February 21st through the 26th, over one hundred bands will take over SF's venues for six days celebrating independent music. True to form, this year's Noise Pop Festival includes an eclectic mix of veterans and emerging artists, and you'd be wise to buy your tickets soon, because many shows are starting to sell out. To get familiar with many of the bands performing at Noise Pop this year, here's [...]
Sharon Van Etten's talent as a songsmith provides a comforting place for us to get lost. From beginning to end and back again.
Our man Flater may have left the Chippewa Valley for the 24/7 combination rave/orgy that is Chicago, but his bread-making, rubberband-headband and basketball shorts-wearing spirit is still here, persisting in the hearts and retinas of all who knew him and suffered the chronic snow-blindness that came from looking in the general direction of his immodestly exposed and highly reflective (bright, bright white) legs. God protect his soul navigating the dingy corridors of that non-stop feast of Saturnalia that is the windy city, that suppurating gas bladder of festering urbania, where the pizza sauce scandalously rests ON TOP of the cheese. [...]
Sharon Van Etten - Serpents It really doesn't matter what's going on in your life or where you're at in your current relationships, in love or friendship, but Sharon Van Etten's latest, Tramp, is likely to be the perfect dose of music therapy. Best taken in the early morning, or late at night. Volume all the way up. Produced by The National's Aaron Dessner and featuring guest appearances from Dessner and Jenn Wasner of Wye Oak, Tramp is exactly the progression you want to see from an artist. It's bigger and [...]

Baltimore indie rock duo Wye Oak covers 'Mother', biggest hit of that ole ass Glenn Danzig. Here's the duo talking about their decision on AV Club and playing it live. MP3 : Wye Oak - Mother
You hate the fucking Eagles. I hate the fucking Eagles. But Jenn Wasner of Wye Oak—here as her solo nom de plume, Flock of Dimes—reaches deep down into her man tone range for a beautifully sparse, androgynous take of "I Can't Tell You Why" that leaves behind The Eagles' 1979-set smooth combed hair vibe for something a little shadier, a little more secret—call it darkened alley love making music. According to Bmore Music , Wassner is currently in the midst of wrapping up her debut solo LP. While we wait for that beauty, you can stroll through the rest [...]
Looking his list of associated acts, it's apparent Dave Power is a man with his drumsticks in a lot of pies. As a drummer with the musical acumen to juggle several different ensembles at once, we considered it worthwhile to see what he views as the audial high-points of 2011. His list is as follows . . . 5) Wye Oak - Civilian Saw them live at First Avenue a few months ago. Just a drummer (playing [...]

![[Best of 2011] Dave's 111 Favorite Songs of 2011](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3994629_lg.jpg)
Tweet vaso link This is far more delayed than I might have hoped, but I enjoy making this list of my favorite songs annually, so I can return to it and see where my thoughts were within the moment. Ultimately, this list serves mainly as a compelling iPod playlist. I concluded my first list in 2009 with 111 songs, and for posterity's sake, have continued along with that tradition. The actual rankings are generally quite fluid, as I could say [...]
Hat man sein Herz ersteinmal an eine Band verloren, wünscht man sich von dieser Band, dass sie sich möglichst niemalsnie verändert. AC/DC, Motörhead oder die Ramones sind auf dieser Schiene jahrzehntelang unfallfrei gefahren. "Ihr seid nicht die Ramones, denkt euch was neues aus", textet die Trierer Punkrock-Kapelle Love A auf ihrem tollen Debütalbum, ein Appel zu mehr Mut und Kreativität! Eine gravierende musikalische Veränderung geht allerdings selten kritiklos an einer Band vorüber (bestes Beispiel in diesem Jahr: Dredg). Als absolut begrüßenswert empfand ich die Erweiterung des musikalischen Kosmos allerdings bei Iron & Wine und Ghost Of Tom Joad. Dass „Black [...]

If you find something you like on this list, download the complimentary MP3 and click the album art, which will take you to the Amazon MP3 page so you can purchase it (some of these albums are $5 or less). 50 // A.A. Bondy – Believers It's about time Bondy takes the full on band direction without tip-toeing around it like the last few albums. Oh wait let me re-word that; his last two where spectacular, but this is a sound that he's been hiding for a while and it's [...]
Wye Oak - Civilian Things I did on my day off: Got my pockets shortened by my tailor. Ate a leftover fried banana. Overpaid for a translucent keyboard cover for my new MacBook. Checked to see if HiFiMAN had gotten its act together yet and shipped more RE-Zeros to my headphone shop. It hadn't. Watched Thierry Henry score for Arsenal. Dozed. Read Calvin & Hobbs. Dozed. [...]

David McCrindle A rumour that will undoubtedly surface over and over again over the next few months about Minneapolis young toughs Howler is this - drummer Brent Mayes is the scion of one Prince Rogers Nelson. Even if it were true, it would be irrelevant as future-funk is the furthest thing from Howler's mandate as you can get. The fivesome face unabashedly backwards in time, staring straight at the '50s rock and '70s punk - in particular the garages and dive bars across America where rock'n'roll was being cultivated. And if they [...]
esto no pretende ser una lista de "lo mejor de 2011". necesitaría tres vidas para escuchar todo lo que se ha publicado este año, así que seguro me pierdo auténticas joyas. son cincuenta canciones presentadas en orden alfabético, escogidas de entre las que más me han gustado este año y que, como ocurre con las del resto del blog, están disponibles en la red en descarga legal y gratuita. pueden bajarse individualmente, pero yo recomiendo pillar las dos carpetas y escucharlas del tirón. ojalá las disfrutéis [...]
