The Dead Weather have released another track from their highly anticipated debut album, Horehound. I don’t know you guys, I’m getting kind of bored with their stuff so far. All the songs just sort of run together… Oh, but I’ll still get the album, because why not. I like taking risks. Horehound is out July… Continue reading New Dead Weather: “Treat Me Like Your Mother” [MP3]

Weezer to make custom Snuggies: “Wuggies”
Apparently Rivers Cuomo and the boys of Weezer really like Snuggies. But unlike half the people that buy those horrible things, they don’t like them out of irony. In fact, the love goes so deep that they have announced their own line of the blankets with sleeves, called “Wuggies.” From Cuomo: “A Wuggie is basically… Continue reading Weezer to make custom Snuggies: “Wuggies”
Phoenix’s Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix …enough said
Yes, yes, yes. YES. Where the hell did this come from? Since as far back as I can remember (United in 2000 included), I’ve been putting Phoenix tracks on my friends’ mixtapes, thinking of them as one of those great indie unknowns (in the States at least), save for one of their tracks, “Too Young”,… Continue reading Phoenix’s Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix …enough said
Grizzly Bear’s Veckatimest is inspiring, imperfect, intriguing
How can one begin talking about Grizzly Bear’s Veckatimest? Highly anticipated, already critically revered, the album’s reputation almost speaks for itself. Coming off their first two acclaimed recordings, Horn of Plenty and Yellow House, expectations were high for Brooklyn’s own experimental/alt folk/indie darlings. So did Veckatimest deliver? Well, lets see. True to indie album form,… Continue reading Grizzly Bear’s Veckatimest is inspiring, imperfect, intriguing
Monday is Memorial Day mix
I’d like to see a tally of how many blogs have mixes for Memorial Day. I haven’t really been looking, but I’m sure they’re floating around out there. Regardless, what’s a Memorial Day without some music?? You know what they say: Music makes the memories last (…)! For good measure, I’m going to start this… Continue reading Monday is Memorial Day mix
Grizzly Bear’s video for “Two Weeks” is creepy…
The Best Song of 2009, “Two Weeks” by the unstoppable Grizzly Bear, finally got the video treatment and it’s really creepy… š I’m going to pretend this didn’t happen… Why is there light shooting out of their mouths? What’s with the sparks and fire? WHY DOES THAT ONE GUY BLINK SO STRANGELY?? I’m sure there’s… Continue reading Grizzly Bear’s video for “Two Weeks” is creepy…
Review: mewithoutYou – it’s all crazy! it’s all false! it’s all a dream! it’s alright
I feel as though mewithoutYou has long been neglected in the indie music community, and I guess, until now, thatās really been understandable. Their earliest releases were deeply rooted in post-hardcore, and vocalist Aaron Weiss alternated from sing-speak to yell-speak over mounds of angry, pounding distortion. Now, though, things have changed. The bandās newest –… Continue reading Review: mewithoutYou – it’s all crazy! it’s all false! it’s all a dream! it’s alright

Knox Road friends and favorites, Exit Clov, (check out our interview with them here!) were among those acts, and were specifically singled out… Continue reading TMS Hearts Moz -> Rolling Stone hearts Exit Clov
Nurses: “Caterpillar Playground” [MP3]
Portland’s own Nurses gives us this sweet adorable taste of their upcoming debut LP, Apple’s Acre, with the soft childlike “Caterpillar Playground” (sweet, apple, child, caterpillar, playground?? I sense a theme here). It’s a song you can really get intoĀ sink your teeth into. Yikes, ok, that one pun is enough. The song is great, there’s… Continue reading Nurses: “Caterpillar Playground” [MP3]
Tunturia is one of the best post-rock bands you’ve never heard of
On a warm, quiet night last summer, I was driving to a friend’s house with three others in my car. The air conditioning was off and the windows were barely cracked open. We began to head over a causeway, and besides the near-silent lapping of the water next to us, everything was quiet save for… Continue reading Tunturia is one of the best post-rock bands you’ve never heard of
