Sally Seltmann, best known to me as her now-defunct moniker, New Buffalo, will be releasing a new full-length (and the first under her own name), Heart That’s Pounding, in Spring 2010. There are already quite a few buzzworthy 2010 albums to be excited about, but this one will be near the top of my list.… Continue reading Notable Album Release: Sally Seltmann – Heart That’s Pounding

[MP3] Lymbyc Systym: “Bedroom Anthem”
Recently brought to my attention by the one and only Abby (from Abby’s Road fame – duh), Lymbyc Systym, otherwise known as brothers Jared and Michael Bell, have become a fast-rising act. Their newest full-length, Shutter Release, dropped November 3 and has been earning critical acclaim for its forceful and dreamy instrumental nature. The Bells… Continue reading [MP3] Lymbyc Systym: “Bedroom Anthem”
In Case You Missed It: Week In Review
This week wasn’t heavy on posting, because we knew the Thanksgiving food would be heavy enough for the U.S. folk among us. So you should have been able to get through a week of Knox Road, but we all mess up every once in a while (us KR guys actually mess up a lot, but… Continue reading In Case You Missed It: Week In Review
[KR Flashback] Hometown: Glorious
If any of you (maybe, one, two?) were reading the blog at this time last year, you’ll remember I posted a little something about hometowns and their glory and all that. I actually didn’t say anything, but I got you in the mood. With Adele. Because, duh, she always gets you in the mood. It… Continue reading [KR Flashback] Hometown: Glorious

The intoxicating Hancock Basement
As I was packing this morning to head home for Thanksgiving I decided I needed something upbeat spinning in the background. I know, “upbeat” and Lee? Not usually associated with each other. (Just kidding, though Jamie would lead you to believe otherwise.) So I surfed through the overflowing inbox (a good thing – we don’t… Continue reading The intoxicating Hancock Basement
In Case You Missed It: Week In Review
For those of you who were expecting a radio show today, we apologize – UMD sports took over during our normal showtime (Aw, don’t cry! Just today, don’t you worry! Actually…next week too…we’ll be off for Thanksgiving.) So as you get a nice little break from our voices, this gives you a great chance to… Continue reading In Case You Missed It: Week In Review
[MP3] Andrew Belle: “Static Waves” (feat. Katie Herzig)
Andrew Belle’s newest LP, The Ladder, will be (self) released February 23, 2010, and we’ve got a brilliant little preview track for you in “Static Waves”. Perfectly suited for any primetime soap-opera (or, in today’s age, any show really), “Static Waves” mixes in Belle’s baritone folk tone with Katie Herzig’s delicate and airy harmony. The… Continue reading [MP3] Andrew Belle: “Static Waves” (feat. Katie Herzig)
