Demetri Martin

Saturday, September 30th, 2006 < author: david >

I love this guy. If he lived on my street then we would be friends. Relative Theory had this idea for a podcast where we would just ride around in a car and tell jokes. Basically he beat us to it only he does it on stage. Beautiful humor which ostensibly […]

Andrew Bryant and The Gunshy

Saturday, September 30th, 2006 < author: david >

We are really excited about this upcoming show next week. Andrew Bryant is from Bruce Mississippi and his songs send the chills right down my arms. His quiet instrumentation and quivering vocals remind me of David Dondero only his folk is less folky and more smooth like that of The Great Lake Swimmers. […]

Alcian Blue and Glissade

Saturday, September 30th, 2006 < author: david >

Sad news regarding Alcian Blue. They may be on a permanent hiatus. As of now we know they are canceling their show this coming Oct. 12 and are considering disbanding. I can’t say any more than that as nothing is posted on their site but the future is grim. Should have […]

Birdmonster

Saturday, September 30th, 2006 < author: david >

Here is another great radio set from Birdmonster. This goes down on Minnesota Public Radio, I think we posted one at WOXY earlier this year. It runs about 15 min with some chit chat in between songs. Four or five songs, the last one being a different arrangement of Skeleton Sue acoustic […]

Grizzly Bear Interview

Thursday, September 28th, 2006 < author: j dub >

James Monaco recently sat down with Edward Droste from the delightful little band Grizzly Bear. They shared a few laughs, lunch, and secrets.

77 Million Paintings

Monday, September 25th, 2006 < author: j dub >

Can wait to see this.
from the press release:
On September 26, 2006, Brian Eno will release “77 Million Paintings” (All Saints/Hannibal/Ryko), which sees the continued evolution of Eno’s exploration into light as an artist’s medium and the aesthetic possibilities of “generative software.” This groundbreaking release features: Exclusive interview DVD, limited-edition deluxe numbered packaging that includes a […]

Free Show with Cheveu!

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006 < author: david >

Cheveu is romping around the lab with sort of a swagger knocking into some of their favorite chemicals and not really caring how much or what reaction is causes. This bright blend of electronic garage rock calls to mind Television, Ministry, KMFDM, and The Modern Lovers. It’s like they are this bunch of […]

Few updates in showland

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006 < author: david >

Blackfire Revelation have disbanded so they will not be appearing on Sept. 27
We recently added the Sept. 29th show with The Great White Jenkins, David Karsten Daniels, and The Prayers and Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers
Spider had to cancel her show on Oct. 4
(don’t worry we will bring her back down soon enough.)
Amanda Jo Williams […]

Someone, anyone, please buy me this shirt. Or an Orange Amp.
Seriously, I will trade or give you cash money for this.

Last Day of Summer

Tom Brosseau

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006 < author: david >

We are bringing this man from North Dakota to Norfolk on Nov. 7th. Actually on Nov. 7th we are bringing him from New York City. He is originally from North Dakota but now resides is San Diego maybe. Either way he sounds like he has walked through a time warp and his […]

David Karsten Daniels

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006 < author: david >

This beautiful man is a recent signee to Fat Cat Records
He is playing here on Sept. 29 with The Great White Jenkins and Prayers and Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers.
He is playing many dates this fall with Tom Brosseau who I will post about in a moment.
David’s music is very similar to The Great White […]

Earthen Sea

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006 < author: david >

In case you have yet to discover the fall out of Black Eyes it may pleasure you to find Earthen Sea. I think it is two members of Black Eyes but primarily Jacob Long. You can leave a comment if you know otherwise. Beautiful ambient drone. I am not sure what […]

Dr. Dog

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006 < author: david >

This Philly band is opening up for the Raconteurs this Friday at the Norva. Get there early if you don’t to miss this Beatles-esque psyche pop. NICE!

Stella on DVD

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006 < author: david >

I saw on the Fader blog that Stella Season 1 is being released on DVD Sept 12. This date was last week so that means we will have to wait until Friday to get it since we were not on the up and up. After talking with Michael Showalter when he was here […]

Public Radio’s last breath

Saturday, September 16th, 2006 < author: david >

WOXY says goodbye. Some say this is hard to believe but I believe this story will soon become quite familiar. The success of satellite radio may be responsible for some of radio’s demise and podcasting might be giving it a little bit of a gut punch as well. You can’t kill the […]

M. Ward guest DJ on ASC

Saturday, September 16th, 2006 < author: david >

Does anyone listen to the All Songs Considered on NPR? For the longest time you had to listen to it on Real Player, which wasn’t bad but not nearly as convenient as a Podcast, which I believed they started early this summer. Check out M. Ward as the guest DJ this week.
All Songs […]

Nights of Passed Over

Thursday, September 14th, 2006 < author: j dub >

It’s 1:45 in the AM and this bit of information fall’s in my lap.
taken from sadreminders.com and La Mano 21:
Mark Kozelek (of Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon) and La Mano will be co-publishing a book of his lyrics (and ephemera) called “Nights of Passed Over”. This book was originally published in Portugal, […]
