With the release of Radiohead's In Rainbows , barring any major surprises, 2007 in music is just about wrapped up. December is the time for Christmas cash-ins - "Best of" CDs from defunct bands that only put out two records (The Libertines), odds-and-sods collections (Gorillaz, Rivers Cuomo), and live albums (Daft Punk, Rufus Wainwright). Anything to have a new product in front of those holiday shoppers. I've never felt qualified to designate anything "best" in even a semi-official capacity, so I'll take the cheap escape of listing my personal favorites for the year, and leave [...]
Opening bands: The Failed Alliance, Office Earlimart | Photo Gallery Though I tend to dislike Philly crowds, Johnny Brenda's has become my new favorite venue... great (local) beer & food, a decent balcony, and clean restrooms are among some of the reasons. My disdain for all-ages crowds has been documented extensively, so JB's offers a haven in Philly where I don't have to deal with kids spitting, acting miserably, or inappropriately moshing. Philly has its fair share of over-21 douchetards, though [...]
S ince I was posting irregularly last week, I missed sharing a few things that I really dug. I mentioned Chicago troupe, OFFICE a few weeks ago prior to their album release, now you can listen to the whole album, A Night At The Ritz , here . They've put together a new porn viddy and it's strangely tantalizing. Enjoy! mp3 shoebox OFFICE~Oh MY
After reading last week's The Daily Graboid on The Yellow Stereo , I instantly fell in love with (and maybe became alittle obsessed) with the band, OFFICE . Made up of five members, Scott Masson (vocals/guitar), Tom Smith (guitar), Erica Corniel (drums), Alissa Hacker (bass), and Jessica Gonyea (percussion/keyboards), these Chicago, Ill natives have been making regular appearances in music publications such as Filter and Spin and have been all the buzz on countless music blogs. They're music mixes 80s pop with today's indie pop and the end result is A Night At [...]
Since today's water cooler convos will revolve around last night's premiere of The Office , it's only appropriate to start the day with a video from a band that shares the same moniker . Inspired by the between-the-action moments of '80s adult films, Office creates an upbeat pop video with "Oh My," which will make you nostalgic for the days before internet porn. Digging the song too.
Okay, all week long I've been pointing you in the direction of excellent shows happening here in town, but seriously pay attention to this one, because it is absolutely hands-down my concert pick of the week . Tonight, French Kicks and Through the Sparks are playing at The Basement at 9 p.m., and you can check out the show for $8. I'll gush about how much I love French Kicks in a second, but first let's talk about Through the Sparks . It was a pleasant [...]
Friday fun! WARNING: Video contains real legendary pr0n actors - Randy West, Peter North, Tom Byron and Melanie Moore. Harmless fun anyways. Download: OFFICE - Oh My (MP3 format, direct link from New Line Records)
This video has been floating around for a few weeks, but it has yet to grace this blog. Why is that so!? Fear not, as I figured it would be a great time to post it now since OFFICE's A Night At The Ritz will be released tomorrow. If you're a long-time reader of this blog, than you know how much i've been covering this band over the past year and a half. Do yourself a favor this week and pick up the new album, as it's one of the best pop [...]
Yesterday's show was my first in my brand spanking new timeslot, and aside from the fact that I had to sprint to the studio (I'll be more prepared for the parking situation next weekend) and then spent the first talk break a lil out of breath, I think everything went swimmingly. If for some reason you missed the show, no worries, because you can: Stream the September 22 edition of Out the Other This week's playlist was shaped around two things - the shows going on [...]
Giving Rilo Kiley's "The Moneymaker" a run for it's ... you know, money, Office have made their porn-related music video in the form of "Oh My." Featuring appearances by actual porn stars Peter North and Randy West, it looks as if the midwestern quintet are leading one guy on and them leaving him hanging and wanting more. Good job kids good job.
Check out this new video by OFFICE. Funny retro-porn visual stylings and catchy song are always a good combination.

You may have seen this on or the Chicago Reader 's Crickets blog , but I still think that this video by Chicago's pop-tastic Office (who have a album, A Night At The Ritz , that comes out a week from today) is still worth watching. Slightly NSFW. Office will be at the 400 Bar on Oct. 2nd. Show starts at 8 p.m. and is 18+ MySpace Page (Jonathan Graef)
Trent told y'all about Office at the beginning of the month, and hopefully you listened. If not, I'm giving you a second chance; listen to me speak now or forever hold your peace. The band is releasing their debut under a label, A Night at the Ritz , on September 25th. It's sure to be a happy-go-lucky affair that sounds like Brit-rock without the accents. Of course, that's a very, very good thing (nothing against the accents, obviously). "Wound Up" first gave me that impression, and "Oh My" only further solidified it. [...]
Check out Office tonight for free at Metro ...their full-length debut, A Night At The Ritz , finally drops this month on the 25th.
I 'm off in just a few minutes to Austin for the ACL Festival . If you weren't at the Blonde Redhead show last night, shame for you. I think it was one of the best shows I've seen in a long time, despite the drummer and the rest of the band being a little off on the first song. If you were there, let them know how much you appreciated them coming to Oklahoma City and playing here. I think that's one way to help spread the word to bands that Oklahoma [...]
Bag of Songs gets a new header photo and has a nice post about a soul singer in a session band, oh wait, no she is the band! If you are in the Chicago area this Sunday, the 16th (Sarah and Marc, this means you guys), give Craig over at Songs:IL an email and got to his house for an intimate concert with Late Greats Fav (and my personal favorite performance from this year's Musikfest) Eilen Jewell. (Been cleaning up my inbox…) MP3s I got yesterday that were [...]
One of my favorite Chicago bands in recent memory is Office. Their new album, "A Night At the Ritz" drops on September 25th (full discussion of that forthcoming), and in preparation for that they've got a brand new music video for you. It's for their track "Oh My," and happens to star some classic adult film actors- most notably Randy West and Peter North. Though the video itself is pretty sexy, I can assure you that it's not pornography (despite the actors participating). It's a fun little throwback to the 80s, where a lot of Office's sound stems from anyways [...]
Watch Office's video for 'Oh My' below. Read about my fascination with the band here. MP3: Office - The Ritz
This video is win. I don't care who you are, you put Peter North in a video and you are win.
