I’ve always wanted to know what a traveling band going through a mountain pass making music would sound like. Oh, great! Here’s Woods! While they may not write their songs that way (booo) they certainly evoke a new kind of folk that’s oh so popular these days. The band has this eerie sound reminiscent of… Continue reading Woods

I like music from 2008!
In the spirit of the season, I am going to do a “best of” list for this year. This is a big deal to me, as I have been preparing for this since January 2008. I highly recommend the following albums for consumption… 5. Titus Andronicus – The Airing of Grievances It is essential to… Continue reading I like music from 2008!
12 Days of Christmas Music: Sufjan Stevens
The story goes that every year between 2001 and 2006 (sans 2004) Sufjan Stevens would record an EP of Christmas songs to give out to his family and friends. In 2006 he decided to gather all the EPs together and release them in one giant collection called Songs For Christmas. The set is comprised of… Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas Music: Sufjan Stevens
Super Mash Bros.
Have you noticed we sometimes have themes here at Knox Road (see “Alliteration Day”)? Well this time it is merely coincidence that I am posting some mash-ups right after Jamie posted a mash-up. Also, these ones are actually good. Super Mash Bros. are Dick Fink and Nicholas Fenmore, and are the self-proclaimed cousin of Girl… Continue reading Super Mash Bros.
“Single Ladies” vs. Fleet Foxes Mashup
From that same guy who gave us the best mashup ever, is Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” against “Ragged Wood” by Fleet Foxes. The Hood Internet posted it as one of the mashups they made that didn’t really work, and I have to agree with them. It doesn’t mesh real well, but it’s still endlessly entertaining (GOSH,… Continue reading “Single Ladies” vs. Fleet Foxes Mashup
In Case You Missed It: Week In Review
Ok, so we missed it. Posting the Week in Review on time that is. But I was SO busy watching Cheetah Lady and driving up I-95 that it just didn’t happen. Here you go, a day belated. And I’ll throw in a couple of extra days as a bonus (read: Jamie just wants to show… Continue reading In Case You Missed It: Week In Review
12 Days of Christmas Music: “The Nutcracker”
Over 100 years ago, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky wrote a two-act ballet about a young girl, a living nutcracker and mice that captured people’s imaginations and became an instant holiday staple. Some of you might not be that into what you may call “classical” music, but Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker” is a real masterpiece. Just think of all the places… Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas Music: “The Nutcracker”
12 Days of Christmas Music: Belle & Sebastian’s Live “Peel Christmas Party”
Back in 2002, our favorite Scottish band Belle & Sebastian recorded a Christmas set for some kind of party thrown by John Peel. What exists of it is a bootleg recording that puts other bootlegs to shame. The quality is awesome and the band is too. They play a bunch of holiday classics as well… Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas Music: Belle & Sebastian’s Live “Peel Christmas Party”
Conor Oberst Live Concert Video

Fans have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the video online, and now it is finally up! For those of you who… Continue reading Conor Oberst Live Concert Video
