Though Lily Allen’s tabloid fodder has slightly dimmed my excitement for her as a person, I’m still very much on board for album number two. It’s Not Me, It’s You is streaming in full over at MySpace, prior to its February 10th US release date. She’s traded the jaunty ska-inflected foundation for one that is […]

Rethinking Lloyd Cole
February 2nd, 2009
Every Sunday night during high school, I would sneak downstairs to watch MTV’s 120 Minutes, and, invariably, it would play Lloyd Cole video what seemed like every week. I never knew what to make of Lloyd Cole back then, but after reading 3hive’s case for him I’m intrigued enough to see what I think now. […]
New Trail of Dead streams at MySpace, Spin
January 29th, 2009
Trail of Dead has posted a new song on its MySpace page, “Isis Unveiled.” Yeah, so the past two Trail of Dead records have been on the lacking side, but I’m open to the idea that the band can get things back on track (despite no re-enlistment of bassist Neil Busch…ugh). “Isis Unveiled” certainly helps […]

Frontman Yannis Philippakis posted some of the band’s new ideas on MySpace last Sunday, saying thus: "Anyway I figured it’s […]
The Grinning Plowman “Radiator” mp3
December 16th, 2008
When I was in High School, Nashville, Tennessee had a few underground bands making some national waves. Clockhammer, Dessau, F.U.C.T., Buzzkill, etc. The Grinning Plowman were easily the oddest. A mix of dark, electronic rock with tinges of industrial, the band had signed with Carlyle Records, which put out three of its LP’s. I Play […]
Katastrophy Wife
November 21st, 2008
Found out about Kat Bjelland’s new band by way of one of Courtney Love’s illiterate and indecipherable blogs. Evidently, Bjelleand’s home is in danger of being "reposeesed", which one can only assume by context should read "repossessed." Sad news. But on the plus side, Bjelland’s new band is awesome. Her vocal stylings don’t stray far […]

Cassangles
October 5th, 2008
With its phonetically malapropistic name, Columbia, South Carolina’s Cassangles defies any qualifying genre distinction. There are scraps and strains of familiar sounds to be sure, but they’re fused together loosely in chaotic bursts of energy and underscored by the youthful disdain of form and structure. The brashness of this band’s ethos and execution is infectious. […]
