Spotlight On: The Simplifires
Three Mexicans and an Irishman together comprise the Simplifires [Official Site, Myspace]. Spawned just south of the border, the energetic foursome – Shine (guitar), Rodrigo (bajo), Alex (drums), daveO (vox) – is a retro-rock outfit with a pallet of influences ranging from New Wave to post-punk. Their auspicious debut, Why People Make Countries, was released [...]

Daily Dose - Monday Linkage
Apparently, albums are for fans and singles are for newbies. I don’t really buy the argument, but still worth reading [Yahoo via Buzzgrinder]
The Killers release their 2009 tour schedule. I didn’t know people still cared about this band [Billboard]
Scottish band Orange Juice is set to re-unite. “Rip it Up,” released in 1983, is their most [...]
Spotlight On: Lizzy Grant
Relatively new to the indie scene, striking chanteuse Lizzy Grant [Official Site, Myspace] possesses an unrelenting charm that will no doubt melt the masses. Her brand of music is at once delectable, blending the best elements of jazz, folk, and rock. And her vocal delivery effectively channels the likes of Ella Fitzgerald and Billy Holiday, [...]
Daily Dose - Thursday Linkage
Looks like Dr. Pepper is actually following through on its GNR-related promise. Earlier this year, the cola-maker vowed to provide every person in America with a can of Dr. Pepper if Chinese Democracy were to arrive in 2008. I bet the album is delayed again [Billboard]
The Ting Tings sing “Happy Birthday” on Nickelodeon’s Gabba Gabba! [...]

Daily Dose - Monday
A “store within a store” for Wal-Mart’s AC/DC exclusive. Does anyone really need to buy the new album? You can probably guess what it will sound like. Some variation on anything from Back in Black [Idolator]
Nearly a year later, sales data for In Rainbows was finally revealed. The deluxe edition moved 100,000 units. Not bad [...]
Rolling Stone Changes its Format
Simply put, Rolling Stone [link] is little more than a rag. And it has been for quite some time now. I was a subscriber for years, from high school through college. Through my tenure as “reader,” I gradually realized that the content suffered with each addition of advertising space. Eventually, those pesky print ads shanghaied [...]

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 [...]
