So Jamie’s been doing his whole “Off My Radar” thing, and while I’d love to contribute, I don’t really want to step on his toes, you know? It’s a neat feature and unique to him, so I’ll let him stick with that little Ed. Note and go along on my own way. In this post… Continue reading The mix shop closes for ’09; will reopen in 2010

[MP3] Hands: “Windows”
Stumbled upon this beauty of a track today and couldn’t help but post it ASAP. Mixing everything we’ve come to love about 2009’s progression of tribal influences and experimentation, Hands, a duo out of Los Angeles, are more than ready to carve out a role for themselves in the indie pop scene of 2010. At… Continue reading [MP3] Hands: “Windows”
In Case You Missed It: Week In Review
Should I think outside the box and say hey, maybe you missed Knox Road this week because of something other than the holidays? Like watching all the TV shows you’ve missed or want to catch up on?? (Includes me and definitely Frank from Chromewaves – read his tweets about Lost.) Eh, holidays are most likely… Continue reading In Case You Missed It: Week In Review
[MP3 + Video] Angus & Julia Stone: “And The Boys”
What’s that? New music from Australian sibling sensations Angus & Julia Stone?? With Angus’s new side project, Lady Of The Sunshine, receiving its fair share of press lately, he seems quite willing to let Julia take the reigns on “And The Boys”, the new single from their forthcoming (March 2010) sophomore LP, Down The Way.… Continue reading [MP3 + Video] Angus & Julia Stone: “And The Boys”
Civil Twilight set for big things in 2010
Originally from South Africa, Civil Twilight is making a name for themselves in the States, where they’ve been featured in recent television spots and currently reside. The trio, comprised of brothers Steven and Andrew McKellar, alongside lead singer Richard Wouters, is driven by crunching guitars and piano ballads, forming a distinctly Britpop influenced sound. As… Continue reading Civil Twilight set for big things in 2010
[MP3] ortoPilot: “Stay One More Day”
To say much about this song would take away from its inherent beauty. We talk a lot about the songs we post here; but experience comes first with music. (And, uh, we didn’t get much from the email, so that doesn’t help matters…) Listen to this song at night. It might be reminiscent of some… Continue reading [MP3] ortoPilot: “Stay One More Day”
Notable Album Release: The Album Leaf – A Chorus Of Storytellers
The Album Leaf is set to release a new album, A Chorus Of Storytellers, February 2, 2010 on Subpop. Wait, let me repeat that. THE Album Leaf have a new album coming out! *Screams of Joy (J capitalized for effect)* Usually I’d say Jimmy LaValle is so talented and all that jazz, but this time… Continue reading Notable Album Release: The Album Leaf – A Chorus Of Storytellers
[MP3] Broken Bells: “The High Road”
We are not the first to post this song, I am aware of that. But, it doesn’t really matter. The much anticipated collaboration between James Mercer (of The Shins) and DJ Danger Mouse, Broken Bells, have released their first track for free, and we’d be remiss not to point it out to you fellow blog-reading… Continue reading [MP3] Broken Bells: “The High Road”
Shayna Zaid & The Catch
Going back to familiar territory for me here in the female singer/songwriter category. It’s rather surprising that New York’s Shayna Zaid & The Catch haven’t received more publicity; yeah, they’ve been featured on commercials occasionally and whatnot, but has anyone actually heard their name? Shayna Zaid is the lead singer (starting with the obvious, of… Continue reading Shayna Zaid & The Catch
We’re all over the place today
Hey guys, Just wanted to point you in a couple different directions today. We contributed a piece to Slowcoustic‘s “Bests” of 2009 Blogger Series where we lightened things up around there…discussing the best song of 2009 to secretly be the theme of a 90’s sitcom! Head here to find out what we chose, and read… Continue reading We’re all over the place today
