Magnolia Electric Co. all about Josephine
Jason Molina has been crafting alt-folk records for over a decade. Whether it has been with Songs: Ohia, under his own name, or with his most recent outfit, Magnolia Electric Co., Molina is no stranger to the industry. So it is no surprise that the dude and co. (pun intended) are readying another effort. Come [...]
CoS at Sasquatch!: Day Two
Bigger headliners, popular acts, and more comedians fill out Day 2 of Nick Traver’s three-part series on last weekend’s Sasquatch! Music Festival. Be sure to stick around for his closing thoughts on Day 3, and please feel free to comment and even share your experiences, too!
Album Review: Ear Pwr – Super Animal Brothers III
And then something wonderful happens to this record after the listener (me, in this case) sets aside his critical nitpicking humbuggery and decides to enjoy himself. The result: these songs will nestle in a head. You’ll hum them at work, hum them in the shower, croon them to your bar of soap, all while embracing the smiles and giggles courtesy of Ear Pwr. That’s better than sitting around with your hands in your pants and a pickle face judging Ear Pwr to be mindless dross while preening your inflated ego.
Watch: Regina Spektor is “Laughing With”
There are many reasons why every one from yours truly to Perez Hilton gushes over anything and everything Regina Spektor. Sure, the looks probably have something to do with it. As do the mind-numbing hooks that seem to fill each and everyone of her songs. But ultimately, it’s those vibrant and image-laced words, sung in [...]
Listen: Alfredo Lapuz, Jr.
It’s a strange feeling when you would vouch for someone’s success, but have no idea what they might end up doing. I would vouch for Alfredo Lapuz, Jr., but I have no idea in what form his success is going to materialize. It will probably be one of the following talents: 1.) One of the [...]
Check Out: Simian Mobile Disco teases again with “Audacity of Huge”
London’s zany electro remix duo Simian Mobile Disco has recently been front lining some teaser tracks from its upcoming sophomore album, Temporary Pleasure, which will hit stores this summer on August 17th. Now, the third track to be unveiled on the net (following “Synthesize” and “10,000 Horses Can’t Be Wrong”) is nothing but the long-awaited [...]
The Streets target February for the end?
Bear with us, because the following is a bit confusing: Earlier today, Mike Skinner, aka the mastermind behind The Streets, tweeted that he randomly found 100£ (that’s pounds) in his jeans and would give it to the first person who met him on the London Bridge at 12:00 p.m. (in Great Britain time). The person [...]
CoS at Sasquatch!: Day One
Last weekend, recent FSU graduate/CoS contributor Nick Travers took to the Pacific Northwest for what has now become one of summer’s hidden treasures, Sasquatch! Music Festival. Read along as we uncover the bands, the heat, and the madness that happened over the three day, holiday weekend. Before anything else, I need to let you all [...]
Micachu & The Shapes are back in the states!
The catastrophic wave of self-mutilation, poop stains and raised eyebrows that follow Mica Levi and her frisky band mates The Shapes around has both startled and urged concert goers to catch these maniacs on the big stage themselves. And now they’ll finally have their chance, seeing as Micachu & The Shapes will be touring the [...]
Lucinda Williams maps out more Little Honey fun
Last October, Lucinda Williams proved that, well, she still kicks some serious ass, with the release of tenth studio album, Little Honey. This summer, the folkster will look to support this ass-kicking album with an ass-kicking road trip. Beginning May 28th, Williams will embark on a month-long U.S. tour centered around an appearance at this [...]
