Vault: Dr. Dog

29 August 08

Do you know how some bands are sponsored by different corporate products? Julian Casablancas is seen in Converse All-stars as part of their hip indie marketing campaign…

A Week With Wolf Parade's "At Mount Zoomer": Day 3

29 August 08

At Mount Zoomer was supposed to be called Kissing the Beehive. With this in mind, I now tackle the final and would-be title track, an eleven-minute rocker that manages to also be “epic.” Length alone does not an epic song...

The American Dream Will Surge Again

29 August 08

This morning didn’t start off slowly, but the New York Times still isn’t in the house, so that’s a problem. It would be a problem for Ben Sollee too. A morning would be a slow one without the word-laden pile of newsprint that’s …



Joan of Arc Video

28 August 08

Twelve years ago, the Flaming Lips had 50 car stereos playing differently arranged parts to songs in a parking garage to make a mutated symphony. Tim Kinsella just took himself and …

Damp And Cool, Crisp And Warm -- The Country Canvas

28 August 08

The best way to get to where Pieta Brown lives (and this is coming from someone who doesn’t know exactly where she calls home here in our shared state of Iowa) is by taking one of any number of gravel roads that you’ll encounter in our …

Throw A Suit On A Problem, Dress It Up

27 August 08

Chris Simpson, when he sounds like he’s hanging onto his sanity or his serenity by a thin thread, is when he’s heard in his best light. It makes you feel for the guy, but what is it that’s actually being …

The M's

Here For The Latter Times, Making Them Now

26 August 08

The M’s stand for all those pioneers, the ones who made a pop song better than bubble gum and sweeter than hot buttered rum. The ones who cooked candies and chocolates with razor blades in them so that they’d be …

A Week With Wolf Parade's "At Mount Zoomer": Day 2

25 August 08

A little more clarity to the proceedings here on Mount Zoomer: poorly conceived visual comparisons to the sounds of Wolf Parade’s latest album.

—“A crayola cut-up of angular sounds and joyous streaks.” Might work great if it didn’t describe the album’s...

The Felice Brothers

Weary Men Rejoice, And Drink

25 August 08

The Felice Brothers make exhaustion feel like an immovable object, but also a ceremonious act that gleams like a gold tooth. I don’t know how they do it, but they make it feel as if they’re …

Brown Bottles Strewn And Burning Lights Ahead

22 August 08

Sometimes going backwards is an invigorating consideration. It leads to getting out of those fucking ruts that feel like grotesque warts and dogged humidity. It’s the reason that city dwellers …
