Although Jamie is the resident Liars fan around these parts, I decided to post this because aren’t those puppies just adorable? I’m not quite sure what’s going on with that thing in the back left, but who cares because look at the kitty! So anyway, Liars will be releasing their fifth full-length album, Sisterworld, in… Continue reading Liars is still really creepy (and have a new album coming)

[MP3] Athlete: “Don’t Hold Your Breath”…(and other relevant news)
I won’t lie – I’ve been an Athlete fan for quite some time now. While inconsistencies have no doubt been a major problem for the British quartet, they still manage to capture my attention with several songs. “Tourist” and “Airport Disco”, in particular, always renew my faith in Athlete’s ability when they come up on… Continue reading [MP3] Athlete: “Don’t Hold Your Breath”…(and other relevant news)

Sufjan is free of conceptual restraints (read: new album coming!)
Sufjan Stevens has been popping his head out of the muck of obscurity a bit in the past few months, which is great because he rocks. He’s said in interviews, though, that he’s been in something of a creative rut, which explains the lack of a new album. His most recent is Illinoise, which came… Continue reading Sufjan is free of conceptual restraints (read: new album coming!)
Notable Album Release: Field Music – Measure
Field Music, one of my favorite straight-up playful (though that adjective may need to change now) pop bands out there, is set to release an upcoming “double” album, Measure, February 16. I found out about the British brothers several years ago from 3hive and was immediately smitten by their delightful song, “You’re So Pretty”. However,… Continue reading Notable Album Release: Field Music – Measure
Hawksley Workman finally set to release debut 2000 album, For Him and the Girls, in the U.S.
And not only that, he’s also announced a few tour dates in the U.S. as well (his first ones here since 2006!) Americans rejoice! A rocking Canadian, Hawksley Workman has been one of those artists that’s only slightly punctured the surface for me, simply because I haven’t had the opportunity to listen to enough of… Continue reading Hawksley Workman finally set to release debut 2000 album, For Him and the Girls, in the U.S.
New Nirvana, sorta!
Oh my god, you guys, new Nirvana! I was looking for a recent press photo, but couldn’t find a good one. Don’t worry, I’ll keep looking. There’s gotta be a new one out there! Anyway, this is an unreleased version of “Scoff,” which comes with the upcoming deluxe reissue of Bleach. It’s really good quality,… Continue reading New Nirvana, sorta!

Metric adds several U.S. tour dates
Canadian Indie Rockers Metric recently announced some new U.S. tour dates in support of their hit album Fantasies, and yippee, Maryland’s on the list! (Sadly, and surprisingly, NYC is not.
