Letting Up Despite Great Faults – New EP coming soon!
Letting Up Despite Great Faults is looking to release their newest EP, Your Colours, in February! Who knows when it will actually be released, but it’s totally awesome that there’s actually an album on the table. Their last big release, Movement, came in 2006 so I’ve been looking forward to this, well, ever since then.… Continue reading Letting Up Despite Great Faults – New EP coming soon!
The Spinto Band at Talking Head Club
Delaware’s own The Spinto Band is coming to The Talking Head Club in Baltimore Saturday, and it will be a show you won’t want to miss. Fresh off their September release, Moonwink, the band will be playing many of their magical melodic masterpieces (alliteration!). The new album is great, but it’s just the icing on… Continue reading The Spinto Band at Talking Head Club
Manchester Orchestra at Ottobar
Manchester Orchestra, a new favorite of mine, are playing tomorrow (Dec. 11) at Ottobar in Baltimore along with crooner Kevin Devine, and two other groups (Dead Confederate and All Get Out). Manchester Orchestra is an up and comer in the indie scene, playing intimately melodic lo-fi pop. They’re one of those bands that you listen… Continue reading Manchester Orchestra at Ottobar
Wavves
Wavves is the project of Cali’s own Nathan Williams, and you could say it’s, ah-hem, making waves (another ZINGER!!). His first album, Wavves, made rounds over the internet this summer and he’s now getting ready to release a follow-up, Wavvves (note the extra v), due out in February. Williams’ lazy voice sits nicely against the crunching… Continue reading Wavves
The Lonely Island’s “Incredibad” LP
Our favorite “dudes” of Channel 101 and now Saturday Night Live fame, The Lonely Island, are set to FINALLY release a CD, Incredibad. If you’ve followed these guys from back when they made a bunch of music, your iTunes will already contain a band called “Incredibad,” but it looks unlikely that some of yours and… Continue reading The Lonely Island’s “Incredibad” LP
Clue To Kalo – Lily Perdida
Clue To Kalo (from Australia) is coming out with a new album (January 20)! For those of us who enjoy The Postal Service (the new song I’m posting actually sounds more like Sufjan) style electronica with a mix of folk, this is incredibly exciting news. The new album is called Lily Perdida and Clue To… Continue reading Clue To Kalo – Lily Perdida
Bell Orchestre
Montreal six-piece Bell Orchestre is one of those bands that you just gotta respect. They do instrumental stuff, so there aren’t any stupid words to muddy up their sound. The band includes Sarah Neufeld and Richard Parry, of Arcade Fire, and the influence is super obvious. The songs take you through a dark melodious world… Continue reading Bell Orchestre
Kanye, you did it to me again.
So at first, I was planning on writing how much I did not like the newest Kanye West album “808s and Heartbreak”. I was going to even make some claims about how the auto-tune should not be allowed to exist. It was going to be such a well thought-out post. But then I heard the… Continue reading Kanye, you did it to me again.

That’s right iTunes and all you other MP3 sellers. Amazon MP3 expanded from the US to the UK. The big boys are now crowding the scene in that Britpop world. Which begs the question: are indie record labels in trouble? The Wombats – “Lost In The Post” “She was signed, sealed and lost in the… Continue reading Newsflash: “Amazon MP3 launches in the UK”
