The Morning Benders Get Under The Covers
MTV Newsroom (Free subscription) | 07/23/2008
They’ve been called Phil Spector-ish ’60s, West Coast jangle and classic Britpop. Maybe the Bay Area quartet the Morning Benders are all that and more, judging from the mostly classic tracks that they chose to tackle on The Bedroom Covers, a 12-song collection available as a free download on their blog, ambenders.blogspot.com. During a week off [...]

The Morning Benders Free Album of Cover Songs
HearYa (Free subscription) | 07/23/2008
I mentioned this in the comments of our live session with The Morning Benders, but it deserves a post on its own. Today the gang offered up a free album of cover tunes that they recorded in their apartment. It’s available on their blog. Kudos on the cover art too. This might be the hardest [...]

Roy Orbison
Hindu (Free subscription) | 07/18/2008
Must admit that I stumbled into this song rather late in life. David Lynch’s cult thriller Blue Velvet (1986) has the villainous yet suave Dennis Hopper crooning to this song. The mike in his hand, his body swaying in that very retro ...

Formed around 1960 in Christchurch, they went through a number of lineup changes before disbanding in 1965. 1962-63 saw them move north to be based in Auckland before leaving for Sydney, Australia for 1964 onwards.

Live in Chicago, Day 1: Sleep Out
The KEXP Blog (Free subscription) | 07/16/2008
photos by Jeremy Farmer Having just released their sophomore album, Not Even Dust over a week ago, the members of Chicago’s Sleep Out give credit to an unusual muse: Chicago’s Graceland Cemetery, a park-like site that was designated a city landmark in 1971 and the inspiration for what Jim DeRogatis of the Chicago Sun-Times has called “one of the strongest indie-pop discs [...]

Ten Top Ten: Best of…
Harmony's Weblog (Free subscription) | 07/13/2008
I don’t like putting best-of collections on these favorites lists, because it seems like cheating a little. But some of the best performers in pop’s long history had more great singles than great albums. It wasn’t till the Beatle era and afterward that albums meant as much as singles. I will try to include pre-rock [...]

Premature Evaluation: The Walkmen - You & Me
Stereogum (Free subscription) | 07/11/2008
Before we got to soak-in the woozy organ and raw yelps of " In the New Year ," the last taste we had of the Walkmen was that one-off " Lemon Hill ." As we mentioned then, the Men said "Lemon" wasn't "exactly in line with the other stuff we are doing now." "In The New Year"'s clattering drums, urgent enunciations, general ragamuffin vibe, and almost Strokes-y swagger definitely suggested a different...
