Favorite Songs of 2012: Part 1 (100-51) You will have to take these list rankings with a grain of salt, because although I tried my best to accurately arrange the tracks, I change it every time I listen to one of the songs. I also only included my favorite song from each artist, so there are no doubles (except for I think one person, but they were part of two different groups). A few songs are also technically from before 2012, but they all appear on albums or [...]

With FYF going on down in LA this weekend, we're getting a decent spillover of excellent shows up here in the Bay Area. Though not quite at Fauxchella levels, it's nice to have a Faux Your Festival going on right now. And since your regular host for this column, Dakin Hardwick, will be enjoying himself at [...]
“A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.” -Willy Wonka Bill Fay feat. Jeff Tweedy – “This World” It's been 40 years since Bill Fay's last album. You'd think after all that time he'd have a little bigger budget for this music video. Nevertheless, some Super 8 footage and a projection screen gets the job done just fine. Converge – “Aimless Arrow” Massachusetts hardcore outfit Converge may have uncovered a whole new genre of horror in their latest music video. [...]
For those who didn't get their Coachella fix this year ( or didn't get tickets to next year's fest ), festival promoter Goldenvoice has a solution: the S.S. Coachella. Departing from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, in December, the ship sails to the Bahamas and Jamaica, and while in transit, the cruise will host performances from Pulp, Hot Chip, Yeasayer, Sleigh Bells, Warpaint, El-P, Black Lips, Grimes, Cloud Nothings, and Father John Misty among others. There will also be "unique events," including wine tastings with James Murphy and late night performances. Get the full details on [...]

S.S. Coachella (Dec 16-19, Dec 19-23) Reflecting a growing trend of youth-focused music cruises, Coachella will introduce the S.S. Coachella in December, with two trips through the Caribbean featuring Pulp, Hot Chip, Girl Talk, Yeasayer, Sleigh Bells, James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem and about 15 other acts. ... Goldenvoice, the Los Angeles concert promoter behind Coachella, resisted jumping on the bandwagon until it found what Paul Tollett, its president, described as the perfect vessel: the Celebrity Silhouette, a 1,000-foot, 122,000-ton ship with room for 2,800 fans, cabana-style alcoves and [...]
Could Gary Richards and Holy Ship!! have started a new trend, festivals by sea? Well Paul Tollett (Goldenvoice President) has decided to give it a go with Coachella. The S.S. Coachella will embark on two voyages in December, a three-day trip going to the Bahamas and a four-day version hitting Jamaica. The ship even has grass. Like the stuff you sit on, you'll probably have to bring the stoner “Jamaican” variety yourself. Considering how popular dance music is right now, how packed the Sahara tent has been since Daft Punk blew it up, it's a [...]
