Illinois’ Adventures are complete

Emo cover art, much? After their critcally acclaimed What The Hell Do I Know, which dropped in ’07, the Illinois boys (from Pennsylvania…duh) are back with The Adventures of Kid Catasrophe, finally released in full yesterday (June 9). They’ve been teasing/pleasing us with a chapter (video and EP release) of Kid Catasrophe since November, but… Continue reading Illinois’ Adventures are complete

Sarah RabDAU and Self-Employed Assassins

Having just been told about Sarah RabDAU and Self-Employed Assassins (h/t Becca), based out of Boston (hometown nod), I’m frankly surprised I’m featuring them so quickly on the blog. But the music got me in a heartbeat, what with the enormously catchy piano riffs and a voice with a slight quirk that makes Rabdau stand… Continue reading Sarah RabDAU and Self-Employed Assassins

Some br(easy) listening for a Saturday: Mary Stewart

Yes, breezy is spelled wrong purposely. It’s supposed to be clever. I realize it’s probably not. 🙁 Regardless, I proclaim today Mary Stewart day. From Nova Scotia, she fits the subdued mood quite well, as I can sit back, close my eyes and relax, watching birds swoon out the window while listening to her charming… Continue reading Some br(easy) listening for a Saturday: Mary Stewart

Marriage, oh so beautiful

Jamie’s sister is getting married today! You know, sometimes (ONLY sometimes) a music blog takes a back seat. He also doesn’t know I’m writing about this, so I hope he won’t mind, but hey! what’s a blog without some personal stuff eh? Congratulations Jamie family! [image art courtesy of Bambi Cantrell] My mixtape (which follows… Continue reading Marriage, oh so beautiful

New Regina Spektor MP3 from upcoming album Far

Another catchy, eccentric, and unconventional Regina Spektor ditty from the soon-to-be-released (June 23), Far. See our previous post with two other new songs (“Laughing With” and “Blue Lips”) from Far here. This track is called “Folding Chair”, and hearkens back to the old weirdo Regina, mixed with the new semi-less weirdo Regina. Which Reg do… Continue reading New Regina Spektor MP3 from upcoming album Far

Opposites attract: What’s Up and Lullatone

We recently received a couple nice mp3s from one of our trustworthy sources, but didn’t really expect to feature the songs because of the backlog of other material we have at hand. Well… I changed my mind – I’m posting them. When I listened to one right after the other, I thought about something bizarre… Continue reading Opposites attract: What’s Up and Lullatone

Ed Harcourt’s on my mind

A couple songs I’ve been listening to lately. Courtesy of London’s burgeoning (or maybe not. in the States? – thank you Jen) talent, Ed Harcourt. Purchase his most recent EP, Russian Roulette. He’s got the whole pop/folk charm down. I don’t really have much else to say currently soooo… that’s all. Ed Harcourt -“Born in… Continue reading Ed Harcourt’s on my mind
