Consequence of Sound’s Ultimate Raffle: Day Four!
Trying to keep track of all the current goings on in festival world certainly can be daunting task, especially with all of this week’s announcements. So why not reward yourself and your brain by picking up a ticket or two for Consequence of Sound‘s first annual Ultimate Raffle. And just in case you need a [...]
Album Review: Grimus – Panikon
Panikon begins on a rail of almost touchable synths with the song, “Confused”. It’s an album opener that, through a clever chord progression, throws the listener into a pleasant pop mood that’s in stark contrast to the singer’s exclamations of desertion (“What is this place?/Where am I?/Does anybody hear me”?). Yet these all add up [...]
Great Northern plans to Remind Me Where the Light Is
After Trading Twilight for Daylight in ’07 and hitting the road with everyone from Cold War Kids and Spoon to Ladytron and Silversun Pickups in ’08, the tantalizing indie rockers better known as Great Northern will use the New Year and their latest studio album to remind me, you, and music fans everywhere just exactly [...]
Dark Was The Night lets you stream everything…
For the better part of a week now, the Aaron and Bryce Dessner curated benefit album, Dark Was The Night, has been tantalizing the ears of music fans with its exclusive tracklisting. As we’ve seen and heard, ahead of its February 17th release date, the 31-track effort, designed to raise proceeds for The Red Hot [...]
YouTube Live: U2′s Super Bowl “Streets”
There have been some great performances at the Super Bowl over the past twenty years. Tom Petty? Check. Prince? Check. Janet Jackson? Nipple. In a couple weeks, we’ll be treated to Bruce Springsteen, who will be promoting his new album, Working on a Dream, at Super Bowl XLIII (where my Arizona Cardinals will face-off against [...]
Noise Pop adds more names; isn’t the only thing golden in San Fran…
With all the madness that is South by Southwest, we often seem to forget about that other eclectic showcase of music that goes down one month prior in San Francisco. But that’s not to say the Noise Pop Music Festival isn’t good because one look at its initial lineup will tell you that’s certainly not [...]
Crystal Antlers display their Tentacles on debut effort
For a band that tour incessantly, currently shares a home with such names as !!!, Ted Leo, and Calexico, and has already earned the most important seal of approval their apparently is in music, a spot in Pitchfork Media’s list of favorites, it’s hard to fathom that California’s Crystal Antlers are still without a full-length [...]
Anti-Flag brings friends, helps celebrate change in D.C. (1/20)
I had no idea what to expect when I made it downtown on Inauguration night. I had seen the 1.8 million people that morning on the mall, a crowd that stretched over twenty blocks from the Capital to the Lincoln Memorial. Just to walk that distance is a feat within itself, but to pack it [...]
Mountain Jam unearths 2009 lineup
After being flooded by 10,000 Lakes yesterday, today a mountain and a jamming one at that became the latest music festival to unearth its 2009 lineup. Gov’t Mule, the super healthy Allman Brothers Band, and Michael Franti & Spearhead are among the names heading the eighth annual Mountain Jam Music Festival, scheduled to take place [...]
Bloc Party brings Intimacy back to U.S.
Basically, the title says it all, and if we had half a brain and actually valued our time, we’d leave at that, present the tour dates, and then send you off on your merry way. But we’re insane or inane, maybe both, and instead want to spend our time coming up with clever little puns [...]
