Good Music Video’s have become few and far between these days. Here are a few that i stumbled upon today that i personally had not seen, and i thought i would share them. They might not be brand new tracks, but they are definitely not going to show up on the VH1 countdown tonight….
Thom Yorke […]
This coming Tuesday, the new album by RJD2, “The Third Hand,” drops on XL. Those familiar with his work from his Definitive Jux albums should be surprised. The sampler hero has changed his approach. For one thing, he is singing. What? DJs aren’t supposed to sing! Thank heavens RJ […]
Over the weekend, An Inconvenient Truth won an Oscar for Best Documentary. There is an organization called Share the Truth and they are offering free copies of AIT to anyone interested in obtaining and sharing Davis Guggenheim and Al Gore’s campaign to make the issue of global warming a recognized problem worldwide.
All you need to […]

This coming Friday March 2nd The Boot will be hosting a fantastic and hypnotizing music event. For your listening pleasure we will have on hand, Relay, Lymbic System, Dirty On Purpose, and Palace Green. One band that Im pretty hyped on hearing is Phillys own Relay. They could be labled as a […]
This is a long overdue hype post about one of the best albums of the year. Justin Broadrick aka Jesu followed up his phenominal Silver EP with an even better new full length titled Conqueror. The music is a strange but beautiful mix of noise rock, ambient walls of sound, and shoegaze influenced guitars, with […]
I pulled the above photo of Do Make Say Think from Constellation’s website. If you click it, you will magically whisked away to a page where you can view all of the albums that came out today. Most of them are available in our store for purchase and if they are not, email us, and […]
The New York City Magazine the deli just released a list of the top “emerging” bands from New York. The Big Sleep, one of our favorite bands here at Relative Theory was chosen number 1 by a panel of Jurors and readers.
Also, more good news. We have just confirmed that they will also […]
One of Relative Theory’s favorite publications has, unfortunately, been forced to call it a day. Arthur Magazine, based out of San Francisco, was the leader in all things folk, psychedelic, green politics, becoming eco friendly, arts & film, and righteousness. This is the magazine that introduced us to ideas such as locavorism and peak oil. […]
Back in November during CMJ I was at an Album Leaf show and one of the many openers was a young woman by the name of Marissa Nadler. I remember hearing that she had played Relative Theory so I made sure to catch her set, and I was really blown away by her performance. […]
The good people at Daptone Records have done the public service of digging up “If This World Were Mine…”, an album by teen soul sensations Bob & Gene, made in the late 60s by obscure Buffalo label MoDo, for its first release on CD. Daptone has developed a stellar reputation, using the best musicians […]
It is fairly common for aging artists past their peak to cash in on an unplugged hits set. It is interesting, however, when the artists in question are the romantic synth pop icons Erasure, and the entire set is performed in Nashville using traditional acoustic instruments, completely abandoning the electronic sheen that defined them. […]
Calla is a New York based band that has, since 1999, put out four good albums as well as a split EP with the Walkmen on which they delivered a great version of Can’s “Mother Sky.” They have a flair for subtle use of treated noise and negative space within traditional rock structures, creating […]
Out of Australia, The Black Ryder are Miss Aimee Nash & Scott Von Ryper. Both former members of the Mornining After Girls. This brand new project right now is just a duo with occasional help from friends. They are in the very early stages of writing and recording. With nothing released and only […]
There once was a band named Tarantula AD, today i went to their myspace page to hear some jams from the Book of Sand LP that i love so much and come to find out that Tarantula AD has been going through some changes. They have a new album coming out on April 17th titled […]

Long before dance rock was the new old little big thing, Trans Am was indulging in their passions for wanky guitar shredding, drum machines, live rock drumming, synthesizers and goofy electronic noises, and vocoders. For a band that doesn’t always come off as the most serious or sincere, they have amassed quite a catalog […]
This is The Decemberists music video for “O Valencia”. It is considered the Directors Cut and is over 9 minutes long. Acting done by the band and i must say, it is quite the video. Enjoy, and remember that they are playing at the NorVa April 1st, show sponsored by Relative Theory.
