Coming to a Festival Near You//Linking Buddies
Check out the lineup for the upcoming 2008 Decibel Festival in Seattle. The electronic dance event will take place Sept. 25 - 28. [Idolator]
In LA, the Sunset Junction Street Festival is slated for August 23rd and 24th. Bands included on the bill are Cold War Kids, Black Keys, Isaac Hayes, and Langhorne Slim. [...]
Don’t Be a Terror Victim
This morning, KEXP [link] decided to play “How to Reduce the Chances of Being a Terror Victim,” by the XX Teens. I never heard the song, and at once, thought it quite hilarious. Originally released by Mute Records back in February 2008, the novelty track channels the deadpan delivery style notable in King [...]
All Girl Summer Fun Band Returns
It’s been about a year since I divulged my weakness for candy-pop girl groups in my interview with the Hot Toddies [link]. So it’s only fitting that I make reference to another trio, the equally infectious All Girl Summer Fun Band [official website, wiki]. The Portland trio is not new to the scene, having released [...]
Giveaway Galore//Linking Buddies
It’s time to spread the love and see what our friends are blogging about today…
Kentucky readers, enter to win tickets to this Friday’s Apples in Stereo show. Three pairs are available [Backseat Sandbar]
This one is too funny to ignore. A band called Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head. If past is prelude, they will [...]
Viva la Video
Sitting in my Eilat hotel room after a long day in the scorching heat, my eyes are gazing east across the Red Sea – Jordan and Saudi Arabia in the distance. There is a gigantic Jordanian flag fluttering in the wind, marking the city of Aqaba. At the moment, though, I’m leaning on [...]
Tuned In - New H2O
A fresh product deserves a fresh new sound, and an accompanying viral video. Snapple’s new Antioxidant Water champions such novelty with its use of “The Cat’s Meow,” written and recorded by the Bad Eliots [official website]. The single no doubt capitalizes on the rather derivative music styles of Interpol and Franz Ferdinand, and [...]
Tuned In - Adoration
Once a bland institution, car commercials are more creative and effective than ever. And generally with great music to boot. Indie artists are virtually lining up to have their tunes as vehicles to sell, a feat unimaginable nearly a decade ago. These days, to cry fowl of such placements is increasingly becoming [...]
Tuned In - Grand Theft Cola
Coke is the consummate frontrunner in the cola wars, both in taste and worldwide brand recognition. From the third world to Third Street, wherever you travel, the beverage seems to be readily available. Not to mention the presence of their logo, which is an unlikely hero of globalization. By stark contrast, rival [...]
Radiohead Surrenders to iTunes
You thought it would never happen. You figured the band would retain their indie cred and never “go digital.” Alas, that has all changed. In a move to continue its dominant quest for music industry whoring, Radiohead is now selling its catalog on iTunes. Tracks a la carte and full lenght albums available as iTunes [...]
Tuned In - Dock It
The cocktail crowd can rejoice yet again. Despite a recent history devoid of hipness, Dockers is in revival mode, strategically positioning themselves as the practical choice for “Work, weekend, dress, and golf.” It is a calculated move to finally shed the “old person trousers” image in favor of the questionably fashionable yuppie demographic. [...]
