A big thanks goes out to philo for sharing his musical journey with us. Now for something totally different.*

The Walkmen – Victory

While the normal guys sleep in I thought I would provide a hopeful thought for this afternoon.

Bonnaroo, 2011

Boy – Little Numbers

April 9th, 2013, at 12:01 am 7 LTEs , , , ,

in the internet age, i feel having a ridiculously generic name doesn’t really do you any favors.

UUVVWWZ – Possible Project

March 30th, 2013, at 12:01 am 2 LTEs , , , , , ,

Holy Cats, these folks make a lot of noise, but the competing elements are glued together by Teal Gardner’s voice. I wasn’t a huge fan of their initial release, but their newest album The Trusted Language is excellent.

Alt-J – Taro

March 29th, 2013, at 9:19 am 5 LTEs , , , ,

i’m still not convinced on these guys…

*(can someone hook up the title of this song? i listened to it this morning, but didn’t have time to cross-reference it with the album (dunno all the song titles) before i ran out the door) pepper with the assist.

Haim – Falling

March 28th, 2013, at 12:01 am 7 LTEs , , , , , , , , , ,

the sisters haim (+1) performing this year in austin. i’m still processing this, but it’s something for sure.

PAWS – Song Title Goes Here

March 25th, 2013, at 12:29 am 2 LTEs , , ,

I loves me a rockin’ trio from Scotland.

Mac DeMarco – She’s All I Really Need

March 21st, 2013, at 12:01 am One LTE , , ,

one of the things i love about living in chicago is that there are so many bands coming through that i never get to see! like this guy that’s coming through tonight…

i’m wondering how tongue in cheek this is…

Kate Nash – I Hate Seagulls

March 8th, 2013, at 12:01 am 5 LTEs , , ,

i’m a sucker for cute accents.

Youth Lagoon – The Hunt

March 4th, 2013, at 12:58 am 2 LTEs , , ,

i’m still wondering how they’re powering that keyboard.

Black Diet – Slow It Down

February 26th, 2013, at 12:17 am One LTE , , , ,

my friend’s band came into town over the weekend (and i’d play them if they had a decent-ish video available). traveling with them was black diet (formerly JT and the sloppy seconds), who put on an amazing set. they’re playing all over the cities, and i HIGHLY recommend checking out a show if you get [...]

White Rabbits – Kid On My Shoulder

February 20th, 2013, at 12:01 am Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired , ,

this one’s for the kooch.

i only have their first album so far, but damn if it isn’t catchy.

Neutral Milk Hotel – Song Against Sex

February 8th, 2013, at 12:01 am 2 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) , , ,

with my newfound interest in these guys i was surprised to find that they’ve never been played here before.

Dirty Projectors – See What She Seeing

February 5th, 2013, at 12:01 am One LTE - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) , , ,

so, these guys are pretty cool. don’t worry, i did the legwork. it checks out.

Delta Spirit – People C’mon

January 6th, 2013, at 12:01 am Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired ,

I stumbled onto Delta Spirit earlier last year via spotify (before the book of faces ruined it), and was really taken with their album Ode to Sunshine. The rest? Not so much. But I do like this track.

Grimes – Oblivion

December 29th, 2012, at 12:01 am One LTE - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) , , , , , ,

#1 on pitchfork’s Top 100 Tracks of 2012 list.

dunno, if this and “pyramids” are the final two choices, i gotta go with the latter.

Father John Misty – Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings

December 27th, 2012, at 12:01 am 6 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) , , , ,

two quick points:

1. thanks to bS for covering the xmas day post. twas i that dropped the christmas ball, not the meated one. 2. my mentioning of the “bad dancing” tag in meat’s vid yesterday reminded me of this video that i wanted to play before, but it was a little too close to [...]

The Civil Wars – Barton Hollow

December 26th, 2012, at 12:01 am One LTE - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) , , ,

These guys were getting a lot of press, so, yeah.

The Hold Steady – Sweet Part Of The City

December 20th, 2012, at 12:01 am 3 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) , , ,

I’m back in the sweet part of the states, you guys. I’ve missed Minnesota ever since we alighted for the territories, but it’s just now dawning on me that I haven’t lived here in almost a decade. That’s hard to believe.

Guards – Resolution Of One

December 4th, 2012, at 12:01 am Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired , , ,

the brooklynite band guards with a stripped down take.
