The nominees for the 2009 Webby Awards are out, you guys! And they’re SO mostly irrelevant. They don’t have a music blog category (lame) but I’m sure KR would have topped that list (lie)! Their music website award is between 8tracks (guh?), Moshcam (actually kind of cool), Nonesuch Records (record label?), NPR Music (umm NPR)… Continue reading The super lame 2009 Webby Awards

Codename benefit concert at UMD for ‘The Mockingbird Foundation’
Despite your greatest beliefs, Knox Road is actually run by people (who we like to think are humane – I know, shocker), and when we hear about music combined with a worthy cause we’re always ready to pounce. This time we provide an ultra special treat though: the benefit concert is happening right at the… Continue reading Codename benefit concert at UMD for ‘The Mockingbird Foundation’
Trent Reznor wins April Fool’s Day
Trent Reznor twitted excitedly about a “new NIN album” “out now” calledĀ Strobe Light. He said it was produced by Timbaland. Do artists still collaborate with Timbaland? I think that’s an old joke. But because of the sheer effort Reznor put into this, he wins. Check out the album deets. He even made a whole fake… Continue reading Trent Reznor wins April Fool’s Day
Knox Road interview with Exit Clov
With great excitement I announce to you all that we recently had the wonderful opportunity of doing some q+a with a KR favorite, D.C.’s own indie pop darlings, Exit Clov. Fittingly, Exit Clov will be starting their East Coast tour in D.C. at the Black Cat on April 1 (as Jamie noted) and then right… Continue reading Knox Road interview with Exit Clov
About my interview with After Last Season’s Mark Region
I’ve received a lot of questions about my interview with After Last Season writer/director/producer Mark Region, so I guess I’ll do some verifying. (See the bizarre trailer here and the interview here). I found Mark Region’s phone number through a WhoIs search on the website for his production company, Index Square. Since the number was… Continue reading About my interview with After Last Season’s Mark Region
“Where The Wild Things Are” trailer! Feat. Arcade Fire
It’s been a long time coming, folks, and damn are we excited. I speak for the entire KR crew here – Jamie actually found this video but I’m stealing his thunder and posting it to get all the credit! Sooo bad ass. Only thing is, last time I saw a trailer with an Arcade Fire… Continue reading “Where The Wild Things Are” trailer! Feat. Arcade Fire
Commercial Flashback – Liberty Mutual
Another trip down memory lane. Loved this commercial, loved the music, loved my life. Actually, not so much the latter. But when I first saw this on TV four years ago, I began a little Hem phase. BTW, as if we couldn’t get any more folk collective-y around here, Hem, out of Brooklyn, has 8… Continue reading Commercial Flashback – Liberty Mutual
Late night. Windmill.
Throwing these lyrics at you seems appropriate because: a) i love this song. b) i read Jose Saramago’s “Blindness” earlier this year. c) i watched LOST last night. d) it’s night time – let’s mix things up a little, shall we? Windmill – “Plastic Pre-Flight Seats” [MP3] (left click) “…So jump out, jump in Jump… Continue reading Late night. Windmill.
March Madness Mix
With all the hoopla (yes, pun intended) surrounding SXSW, let’s not forget about that other March festival – the NCAA college basketball tourney. If you filled out a bracket, who’d you pick? I won’t give you my winner yet (edit 3/21: my winner = Pitt over Mizzou) in case you’re still making picks, but my… Continue reading March Madness Mix
Knox Road exclusive: New songs from The Scarlet Ending
Ahhhhh! As promised, Kaleena Goldsworthy of The Scarlet Ending has sent Knox Road two pre-produced JUST recorded new demos from their up-coming album to be released later this year (probably around July). Kaleena was able to get us these tracks just in time before taking off for that Austin thing called SXSW or something. Not… Continue reading Knox Road exclusive: New songs from The Scarlet Ending
