So I heard about The Machine Room via We Were Promised Jetpacks via Facebook. Here’s a tip for you, after you hear a band you like, go “like” their page and sit back and reap the rewards. I find that when you are recommended music by your favorite indie bands on their Book page, you rarely lose. The Machine Room is from Edinburgh, founded by John Bryden and some hip musicians...

Penetralia - Ouisa Hound off the album “The Joy Eclectic” Happy Valentine’s Day. Here’s some obscure musician that I totes dig. I find it carnal enough and gritty enough to give you on VDay because well, a majority of you are going to be getting carnal and gritty tonight while I’m eating tacos at the local Margarita stand. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be getting carnal, but I don’t need romantic,...

The Black Atlantic is a bit of a mystery because they’ve been around since 2009 with an solid album titled, “Reverence for Fallen Trees” and I have not heard of them until this moment. What I can say about these Dutch-people (there’s a girl in there) is…their music is to a Fall vacation to VT what lo-fi surf pop is to a California beach. They are a awash with...

Miike Snow cleaned up their facial hair and tightened up their act in this new release off their upcoming album “Happy To You” out March, 2012. I can’t tell if I feel more like an Animal or a Devil when I hear this.

Voluntarily Hijacked: Best Albums of 2011 List

Hello fellow friends and lovers and friend lovers…I have been traveling the universe in search of things called “dollar bills” so I can live in a place called a “loft” and be “happy” forever. Because of these distractions, I have neglected The Bandage at 100% capacity. There is no excuse and to reward my loyal followers, I asked my friend Scott (verbally...

Vinyl Williams album Lemniscate is epic. I’ve been gone awhile because I’ve been caught under a boulder of work and spotify. I’m sorry. Vinyl Williams is LA based Lionel Williams and I could summarize what he’s about however, because I’m in the middle of a proposal and I have zero brain capacity beyond watching the latest episodes of Grimm on huluplus, I let last.fm...

Cut Copy Remixed Death Cab? Stop it. I was told we couldn’t have it all! I was raised with the statement, “You can’t have your cake and eat it too!” Well hey guys, I bought you a big ass cake, a fork, and I reserved a section in the cake eating section just for you. Cut Copy says eat the damn cake.

M83 Full Stream Preview...or The Best Monday Ever →

Urban Outfitters continues to provide most of my wardrobe which consequently means I’m always smiling and my bank account is always frowning. Today though, my bank account doesn’t even have to know about this…it’s free, it’s the new live stream of M83’s upcoming album, “Hurry Up We’re Dreaming”, and I’m antsy and happy and life is good. ...

Mark my words…Born Gold is the next, better version of Foster the People, but $20 bucks says you’ll spend less than $20 bucks on a ticket, enjoy their show more, and probably be able to see it without a bunch of over privileged suburban teenagers trying to score weed from you. Buy their whole album at bandcamp and email thank you and dollar bills to yours truly.

Joey Patino (left) and Jason Travis (right) From my initial encounter, Jason Travis and Joey Patino seemed to be very different people, so different, in fact, that you might question their compatibility as band mates, founding members, and co-writers of the year plus old band, Sealions, which includes Keith Edmiston and John Craig. Patino shared that at a young age he wasn’t...

This is the album from The Answer Page entitled Orca. I love this because of the uncanny similarity of Nate McKee’s vocals to The Smiths, but is that a sin to say such a thing? I mean can we possibly replicate the androgynous sex god that is Morrissey? Well, I can’t say that McKee is a copycat because does imbibe his own unique take with Orca. It’s a little grittier with The...

Orono Park - The Wilderness of Manitoba This song reminds me of a day I had once years ago. We were driving down long roads in Bucks County, PA leaf watching. Yes, there is such a thing. It’s actually a commonplace thing during the Fall in PA. It was probably the most perfect day I ever had with a person who didn’t mean much to me, but I’m glad I had that day and I’m glad...

And finally some salvation is near...NEW SHOWS!

There’s been lots of buzz from the peanut gallery about M83 and his tour and his new single “Midnight City” (which is undeniably addicting)…so when I went to scope out the deets, I ended up coming across so many awesome discoveries, I’m pretty sure I screamed “Oh My God!” out loud. It’s like being an archaeologist digging for a small artifact from...

Bonfire - Southern Shores I’ve talked about these dudes before, but things are really blowing up for them now. Tucked away in the freezing that is Halifax, Nova Scotia, they are making warm synthy beach imbibed songs for your pleasure. Before they were hard to come by, but with their EP “Atlantic” out via experi-pop label, Cascine, and this latest free DL, you’ll be able...

My friends told me recently I always say that every band is amazing, but I come from the Thumper school of thought (go ahead call me a goody-goody): If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothin’ at all…because really, if you’re putting yourself out there, more power to you, but that isn’t to say I’m going to listen. I guess you could call me a musical...
