One of the many great things about working in a record store is the promos. Relative Theory gets advances just about everyday and it kind of feels like Christmas morning.
“Ohh, who’s this from? Matador? I hope it’s the new Mogwai, I’ve been wanting!”
or
“What sort of surprise has Temporary Residence sent us?”
Well, this […]

Sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas I decided I wanted a Sufjan Stevens record. I listen to way more Galaxie 500 than End of the Universe these days. And all of the […]
Local artist and musican, Todd Webb, has just dropped off his latest comic journal, Valentine (a cautionary tale). He returns this time with a handful of black and white illustrations of being rejected, on the loneliest of holidays, Valentines Day. His work, as always, is adorable, funny, and irresistible.
Todd also performs in a band […]
We know that it’s cold outside and you just want to stay in bed, under the covers, watching reruns of American Bandstand. We feel you, that’s what we want to do, too. Pajamas with feet, a glass of warm milk, maybe even a little bit of “makie-outtie” with a lover. And for these reasons, […]
In late Spring, Mark Kozelek, will be doing a jaunt up the eastern seaborg. Two years ago, Braided and I, flew to San Fransico for one night to see Mark perform at the American Music Hall. Finally, he’s making his way to our side of the country. And now, we must pick a date. […]

When a friends of ours asked if we have heard the new Liars yet, we replied no and asked if it was any good. He answered, it’s fucking incredible. And once, we got our ears on it, we were blown away. Drums Not Dead is an amazing percussion driven album, unlike anything I’ve ever heard […]
The new issue of Wax Poetic just hit the shelves. Behind the cover:
The Mizell Brothers made Blue Note the hippest record label of the 1970s, even if it infuriated the jazz purists. Archie Shepp and the jazz avant-garde also had a knack for incensing the critics. We’ve got beautiful photos showing how real their movement […]

I saw the Secret Machines perform when they were on tour with Kings of Leon back in August. I was blown away by their performance. It was the perfect combination of Pink Floyd and Swervedriver and it left me with my jaw on the floor. I’ve been playing this CD since a friend gave it […]
According to my dictionary / thesaurus widgit, the definition of charming is pleasant and attractive. I find myself irritated by this. They should add a second definition and it should be Half-Handed Cloud. Short, simple Casio driven, pop gems for star crossed lovers and dreamers.
