Enne jõuluvana tulekut poetan kuuse alla kiirelt veel ühe pühademaigulise loo, ilmselt selle aasta viimase, aga eks näis. The B-52s'i frontmanil Fred Schneideril on juba mõnda aega kõrvalprojekt nimega The Superions ja neilt ilmus enne harrast jõulurahu album Destination...Christmas! YACHT on sealtpealt ühe loo endale hambusse saanud, seda kuulamegi. The Superions - Fruitcake (YACHT Remix) ( mp3 )

A big thanks to everyone who rode with us during the past year. Here are some beautiful tracks for the holiday season... Lagasta loves you. Mayer Hawthorne: 'Christmas Time is Here' [ mp3 ] Tracey Thorn: 'Sister Winter' (Sufjan Stevens Cover) [ mp3 ] Beach House: 'I Do Not Care for the Winter Sun' [ mp3 ] The Golden Filter: 'White Nights' (Psychic TV [...]

¿Anti-folk, nu-folk ? Noah and the Whale , una de las bandas herederas de ese fino sonido británico que a muchos nos sigue cautivando, presentará nuevo material tras una ausencia de un año. La banda a la que algunos han comparado con Belle and Sebastian se encuentra grabando un nuevo disco que será el sucesor de "The First Days of Spring" y la fecha señalada para su lanzamiento es marzo del 2011. Si te gusta el cine de Wes Anderson , seguro te gustará el sonido de esta banda, ya que la estética y estilo [...]
With a few guest DJ sets from the kids from YACHT-who were celebrating the after-party for their Seaport Music Festival show earlier in the evening-and video/audio DJ/VJ/whatevers Eclectic Method, this past Friday night at Webster Hall was super interesting and we were stoked for it, even if we were super taxed from throwing that Deluka/Lioness [...]
YACHT covered "Nausea" by X for BBC Radio 6 and the result is a dark song that certainly sounds like a journey through feelings of late night nausea.

It’s time to listen to the tracks I have not posted recently. Here is the next NOT POSTED mix. These tracks meander from the more traditional indie rock sounds to the more electronic and end with metal. Listen.

MP3: YACHT - "Nausea" (X Cover) YACHT are getting ready to prepare their third album, but they have a little bit of business to take care of first. For instance, check out that cover of X above that the band did for the BBC. Also, the band may not have many North American tour dates coming up, but lucky for New Yorkers, one of the few they do have is free in Manhattan at the South Street Seaport on August 4. Check out the full list of tour dates after [...]
vimeo Direktvideo link [Embedded Video] YACHT released See Mystery Lights , their first album of DFA Records, last year and it was a solid debut featuring some great moments like "Psychic City", "The Afterlife", and "Summer Song." Luckily the band is currently at work at a follow-up but there is still going to be a bit of a wait until we hear any new recorded material from the band. In the meantime, check out their cover of X 's "Nausea" that [...]

New video from The xx! Islands is definitely one of the best songs off of one of the best albums released last year, so I'm glad to see the song get a video. Check out the video and The xx remix of Yacht's "The Afterlife"! Yacht - The Afterlife (The xx remix)

Will Powers Adventures in Success I was reading something on the Holy Ghost blog that mentioned Peter Gordon 's Love of Life Orchestra the other day , which reminded me of photographer Lynn Goldsmith's Will Powers project in the early 80's. I mentally place this whole project on the same shelf as monologist Spalding Grey , certain projects David Byrne was involved with, Laurie Anderson and other downtown New York video [...]

Yacht's Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans tell us on their Web site that just because they added three members (referred to as the Straight Gaze), they are not a band: "We do not want, or intend, to become more palatable or 'rock and roll' as a result of this change. The Straight Gaze are a psychic extension of us and Yacht will always be fucked-up, transcendent and weird. We hope that's OK with you." And the non-band's name? "Yes, we are aware that it sounds like 'Straight Gays.' This is intentional." [...]

I'd love to be able to say I did this list in one shot, fired from the hip, and came out fearlessly and decisively with my rock solid Top 20 Albums list ready for prime time. The truth is, unfortunately filled with scribbles, crumpled paper balls, wishing I had 25 slots, and a few question marks that will inevitably be answered in a year or two from now when I look back on this list and laugh at myself. I must admit my 2008 list held up pretty well for me over time. Even my 2007 [...]
