 What do Abraham Lincoln and the Fung Wah bus have in common? They’re both referenced in the first minute of “A More Perfect Union,” the 7-minute punk rock epic that opens The Monitor, the new Civil War-themed sophomore album from Glen Rock, NJ’s Titus Andronicus. Remember that episode of South Park where Cartman tricked his [...] March 17th, 2010
 Between Dr. Octagon, Deltron 3030, Lovage, and Handsome Boy Modeling School, Dan the Automator has a pretty long track record of one-off collaborative projects, so when he and Damon Albarn of Blur released their first album as the “virtual group” experiment called Gorillaz in 2001, longevity was the last thing on anyone’s mind. But their [...] March 16th, 2010
 East Coast and West Coast rap may have dominated the nineties, but whether you’d like to admit it or not, the Dirty South owned the last decade. To be perfectly honest, I wasn’t a huge fan, as I know many devotees of the early ‘90’s NYC sound weren’t, but I tried to look past the [...] March 13th, 2010
 This is the cover art for the new single from Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti. March 12th, 2010
 In honor of my weekend road trip to the Garden State, today’s song is from Real Estate, a band that also hails from the mean streets of suburban New Jersey. While it might be the worst band name ever for Google searching (next to Girls), Real Estate definitely has a Jersey ring to it. They’re [...] March 11th, 2010
 With track names like “Terminally Chill” and “I Should’ve Taken Acid with You,” Neon Indian is a serious contender for band with the coolest song titles. My personal favorite is “Ephemeral Artery,” which happens to be one of my favorite tracks from the group’s debut album Psychic Chasms, which came out last year on Lefse [...] March 10th, 2010
 As reported earlier today by pretty much every other music blog on the entire internet, there is a new MGMT song. It is the first to be released off the new album Congratulations, which I wrote about in a recent post, and it is currently available as a free download on the band’s website, where [...] February 20th, 2010
 If you’ve read my list of the Top 50 Albums of 2000-2009, then you’re already aware that I’m a pretty big LCD Soundsystem fan, and if you haven’t, get ready for a major spoiler alert – their most recent album, 2007’s Sound of Silver, is #1 on the list. February 17th, 2010
 If you love big dumb guitars and fist pumping, and who doesn’t every now and then, you’ll probably enjoy West Palm Beach export Surfer Blood. They are a brand spanking new band, which you can clearly tell from this Polaroid photo I got off their MySpace page (as counterintuitive as that may seem), and [...] December 21st, 2009
 UK electro-pop/rockers Hot Chip have a new album, One Life Stand, coming out this February. Their second and third albums, 2006’s The Warning and last year’s Made in the Dark, are among my favorite dance albums ever made, and produced three of the finest singles of the decade, “Over and Over,” “Ready for the Floor,” [...] |
