Found: a mixtape labeled with one small scribble across side A: I'm miss wrrrrrld. This leads me to believe it was the background music for the Halloween party my roommates and I held in 1997, the year I dressed in tribute to the Lady Courtney. I wor...
errata: errata – i s’pose you’d have to class this as post-something if you were in the classification business. post-metal, post-hardcore, post-whatever. what they do is that kindof epic soundscape meets thundering uber-chordage and throaty roar-vox that envy (should that be inveja…) and cult of luna (if they were amphetamined out their swedish heads) and [...]
First of all I want to apologize for the above picture, but its fitting for the Fucked Up and what they are doing. First off they won $20,000 for winning the Poloris Prize this year, and secondly they're using the money to rerecord "Do They Know its Christmas" for charity. Get this they have a tons of acts joining them in the this recording like TV on the Radio, Yo La Tengo, GZA, No Age,...
Band Aid. Band Aid II. Band Aid 20. And now... Do They Know It's Christmas is going to have a fourth incarnation - organised by Fucked Up . Yes, it's going to be sort-of-all-star: Talking to Vulture, [Pink Eyes] listed off some of the people involved: "David Cross, members of Vampire Weekend, TV on the Radio, Broken Social Scene, the GZA, Bob Mould, No Age, and Yo La Tengo are all confirmed. I'm...
In fairness to Yo La Tengo, they showed up on time and ready to go; it was just me who was late - late enough for the bouncers, in a venue not noted for friendly bouncers, to chide us for our tardiness. I read elsewhere that the gig started with Pass The Hatchet, I’m Goodkind, [...]
Filed under: News , Canada After pocketing the $20,000 Polaris Music Prize for best Canadian album in September, hardcore heroes F---ed U p announced they'd be using the money to record a charity single. Now singer Damian Abraham has announced it will be a cover of Band Aid's 1982 colonialist classic 'Do They Know It's Christmas.'

It's always been my contention (And I'm sure others would concur), that the perfect three-to-four minute pop song doesn't need an explanation. One needn't study the lyrics, chart its chord progressions, or burrow into its back story. All the proof you need occurs during the first impression, the second the sound meets your ears. Such is the case with "Certain Famous Covered Bridges," the...

Led by the evocative voice of Amélie Laflamme, the music of Montreal-based The Blue Seeds resides somewhere between atmospheric-rock and alternative-folk. Some quotes about the band: “No doubt this is one this year’s revelations!” Journal de Montreal “A promising vision of work!” Montreal Gazette “I like the sultry vocals slightly tainted with sadness. And...
Artist/producer PC Muñoz mines for gems and grills the greats. "Dedicated Thespian Has Teeth Pulled to Play Newborn Baby in High School Play" "Embarrassed Teen Accidentally Uses Valuable Rare Postage Stamp" "Retired Grocer Constructs Tiny Mount Rushmore Entirely of Cheese" "High School Shop Class Constructs Bicycle Built for 26" These waggish tabloid-headline...
Bob Burnett: We've let the site sit still basking in the stage lights of the Jonas Brothers concert review. I was just headphonin' on my couch at sunrise, listening to Yo La Tengo's "And then nothing turned itself inside-out" on a quiet rain-filled Sunday and said, "it's time....yes.....it's time" especially since last evening was filled with Yo La Tengo's recent "Popular Songs"...

James Turrell is an LA-based artist described by Wallpaper* as a “well-combed cross between Grizzly Adams and Karl Marx.” Wolfsburg, Germany – an hour outside of progressive art capital Berlin and home to the Volkswagon headquarters – is the site of Turrell’s latest installation, a 7,500 square feet construction called “Bridget’s Bardo.” Meant as a [...]...
On a post-punk evolutionary scale, The Feelies sat fittingly between Talking Heads and Mission Of Burma; encompassing the giddy neurosis of the former and the kinetic, rhythmically insistent propulsion of the latter. Pointing towards the indistinct melodicism of REM's Murmur , the bright yet oblique Crazy Rhythms makes for an impressive missing link.
