I have only heard two tracks and seen their album cover (above), and I am in love. They few songs remind me of My Morning Jacket had Brian Wilson been in the band.

definitely among (well, atop) my personal list of most anticipated albums of 2007 is el-p’s 4 years in the making “i’ll sleep when you’re dead.” his proper solo debut, after leadership service in the late, great company flow, “fantastic damage,” landed upon the list i gave josh for the top dozen or so essential hip [...]
I don’t know if anybody noticed, but Relative Theory now has a profile on last.fm.
I have no idea who did this.
I have not seen it and we are only a week into the new year, but I am going to go out on a limb and declare Freedom Writers the most racist Hollywood film of 2007. In the tradition of “Dangerous Minds” the complex problems of institutional neglect and underfunding in inner city public schools [...]

Though you can’t read that text, you’ll have to trust me that that image looked terrible when it was blown up. What is important to know is that one week from tonight, myself and friends will be doing a real time live recording of the most hilarious comedic podcast ever. Now let me ask you: how [...]

This is some wild shit. A one of a kind Velvet Underground record, bought for $.75 is now going for $110,000.

World’s Greatest Grandma is a last minute addition to tonight’s show. He is Matt Cole of Punchline Picture Show fame, and his musical side project (or, to hear him describe it, his musical front project) will satisfy the previously unfilled “dark no wave” opening slot for the show. As to what “dark no wave” means, I can’t [...]

Dogme 95, Headlights and Silent Film Star all played our shop on the sixth day of November. It was a nice evening of old friends reuniting and the making of new ones. Each of these bands are incredible and if you are fortunate enough to catch them, you should do so. Thanks to Jason Lombard, [...]
GB’s gear was stolen. This was taken from a myspace bulletin.
“Dear all- It’s with sad news I have to announce the cancellation of our final 12 European dates. Daniel’s father has been struggling with cancer recently and in the past few days he’s gotten increasingly worse. We were already toying with the idea of coming [...]
This is tonight at The Norva.
