The Guardian on 30 years of 4AD

August 30th, 2010 · No Comments

“I remember being young and hearing music and thinking, ‘I didn’t know music could do that.’ That can be a feeling of a release, of pent-up tension or aggression, or just being transported through a beautiful moment or an emotional setting. It’s just something that connects. I don’t know why it does it, but it’s [...]

The return of Atari Teenage Riot

August 27th, 2010 · No Comments

Ok, I’ll admit it. I used to worship Alec Empire. I was young and impressionable. It was the ’90s. (Lash the 90ties!) I’m older now and I while I don’t regret my youthful ATR/Empire dalliance, I’m not likely to find myself at an ATR show any time soon. That said, if Aphex [...]

I Guess I’m Floating features Georgia’s Living Rooms

August 27th, 2010 · No Comments

With inviting melodies and smooth synths, Living Rooms deliver a summery sound representative of hot childhood days spent running through the sprinkler, taking gulps of water from the garden hose, and catching jars of fireflies at dusk.
– I Guess I’m Floating
Always nice to see Southern bands getting attention.

The Extraordinary Ordinary Life Of José González? WTF?

August 24th, 2010 · No Comments

I don’t normally like to post things that come in via PR emails, but this was such a noggin scratcher, I couldn’t resist. I like Gonzalez as much as the next guy, but an entire film about him?! Is he really worthy of his documentary? I guess I’ll have to see the film [...]

Wareham warms up for the Galaxie 500 tour

August 21st, 2010 · No Comments

An intimate warm up show in NYC. I would always get goosebumps when Dean would play an old Galaxie 500 song back in the day (post-Luna). I can’t fathom an entire show of Galaxie 500. I would be in heaven.

Waterfall by Rosanna

August 13th, 2010 · No Comments

After listening to Robyn’s new album on repeat more times than I’d care to admit, Rosanna provides a nice, albeit similarly styled diversion. This remix is also pretty sick. Makes me want to bounce around my room. Waterfall is out on the newly launched PopJustice label on August 22.
