New Peter Bjorn & John Video “Nothing To Worry About”
So PB&J finally made a video for their latest single “Nothing To Worry About” off their upcoming album, Living Thing, and it’s… well yeah. Dancing gangs? In Asia? Ok guys, that works. They did say the new record would be all kinds of different and experimental. So I give them a free pass on this one. The… Continue reading New Peter Bjorn & John Video “Nothing To Worry About”
M.I.A., Radiohead go crazy with Grammy performances
M.I.A. and Radiohead are both slotted to perform at this years’ Grammy Awards, but these aren’t your mother’s performances. M.I.A is playing the show nine months pregnant, actually on her due date (coolest birth ever?). Meanwhile Radiohead is planning on playing with the University of Southern California marching band. What, like the Grammys is the… Continue reading M.I.A., Radiohead go crazy with Grammy performances
Heartless Bastards make new “Best Album of 2009” with The Mountain
Heartless Bastards released The Mountain this week and it’s pretty much the bees knees.

The band hails from Dayton, OH but also spent some time in Austin… Continue reading Heartless Bastards make new “Best Album of 2009” with The Mountain
New Austin Lace Video: “Katz”
Here’s a cool video from France’s Austin Lace. The song is “Katz” and it’s from their latest release, The Motherman, on Bang! .

Notable CD Release: Doves – Kingdom Of Rust
At this point you may forget who the Doves are, considering their last release, Some Cities, was all the way back in oh, February 2005. That’s 4 years ago, ladies and gentlemen. I don’t really know why it’s taken so long to produce a new album, but the Doves are back! Kingdom Of Rust is set… Continue reading Notable CD Release: Doves – Kingdom Of Rust
The Calm Blue Sea: Trying to be Explosions In The Sky?
Now, I don’t think this is a bad thing for audiences, because they actually pull it off fairly well (SO, let me preface all this by saying I like The Calm Blue Sea’s music. A lot). But come on: the music sounds identical in that experimental way and even their name must be related. Let’s… Continue reading The Calm Blue Sea: Trying to be Explosions In The Sky?
The Kills debut “Black Balloon” video
“Black Balloon” was on The Kills‘ latest album, Midnight Boom, which came out last year, but it’s also going to be appearing on the Black Balloon EP, coming out sometime in March/April. Apparently some other tracks from Midnight Boom will also be on the new EP, and that makes no sense to me. So it goes.… Continue reading The Kills debut “Black Balloon” video
