The Wall Street Journal interviews Sarah Vowell about her new book, The Wordy Shipmates. WSJ: You describe the subjects of "The Wordy Shipmates" as "the dreary religious fanatics who founded New England nearly 400 years ago." That's not exactly...
One of the cool things we encounter in maintaining this music blog is occasionally e-bumping into people who also spread the word and sounds of good music. This time around, we received a nice message from JAX who runs the west coast music blog . Aside from her long time blog, JAX also runs a Los Angeles-based label, aptly named (), that just released a brand new EP from a band we originally featured...
Recently I’ve been gnawing away at Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World Revisted, a series of ruminations on the state of modern society (modern as in 1958, the year the book was published) and its relationship to the themes in his dystopian novel Brave New World, which had been published 26 years prior.

After Saturday Night’s performance from Yo La Tengo, the good times at Pygmalion Fest refused to stop. Immediately following was a set in the Krannert Muesem Bar & Lobby which was packed full of people to see up-and-coming multi-textural electronic dream pop duo, High Places.

We like a venue that messes with our expectations. Being our first visit to the Star of Bethnal Green, we weren’t sure what to make of the place from the outside. Black and looming, it looked quite a lot like the old-man pub beside the tube we visited to use the loos: a shabby, dark local that was verging on the eh… aromatic, a stripped back wooden interior with hip commie murals, leather loungers...

While I had to miss Friday’s performances at Pygmalion Fest (including Black Mountain and Titus Andronicus), I came prepared to hit Day 4 of the fest with full force, starting with Yo La Tengo’s festival headlining show at Krannert Muesem. Most of my history with Yo La Tengo revolves around two albums, And Then [...]
Yo La Tengo have been making indie rock for more than 20 years. Now the New Jersey band has decided to package some of the incidental music they’ve made over that time period and offer it up to their fans. They Shoot, We Score (gotta love a hockey reference) amasses the soundtrack work the band [...]
