F%#*&! Up – Turn The Season

Video 2 Comments

As a rule, I try to stay away from bands with the F word in the name. As another rule, I tend to shy away from bands whose singer only wears boxer briefs and sneakers on stage for a majority of the show.  Furthermore, I usually don't care for bands who have singers that sound like crappy hardcore singers.  For some reason though, man, I really dig this tune.

As you would imagine, this song is in no way appropriate for work. Also, the sound quality isn't perfect. Not that would would expect it to be. NXNW, 2011.

The Jayhawks – Blue

Video

The Jayhawks: Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, Jose Mijares, Joe Nathan, and Jason Kubel. The Minneapolis group sings the song that best describes the way they are making Twins fans feel this season.

Or it is the 1995 Jayhawks line up on the John Stewart Show? It is one or the other.

First Aid Kit – Waltz For Richard

Video 9 Comments

i found this via a friend's post whilst scrolling through my facebook feed. apparently these guys are gathering some buzz (and you're right, hitman, everyone's ripping off la blogotheque).

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir10In7xv9Q

i dunno. my early impression is this is what simon and garfunkel might have sounded like in their early years if they were swedish sisters (hell, they kind of look like simon and garfunkel if they were swedish sisters).

Brian Wheat – Looking Alive

Video 3 Comments

One of my best friends recently moved to Minneapolis.  In addition to his duties at a professional teacher of high school biology, he also plays songs. Once he finally sets up some gigs at Minneapolis you had better believe at least a couple of you are going to go. Or I am going to guilt the heck out of you in hopes of making you attend.

Brian Wheat, in Buffalo's famed abandoned Central Terminal, 2011.  Also, man, anyone shooting a music video loves to rip off La Blogotheque, huh?

Eleanor Friedberger – I Won’t Fall Apart On You Tonight

Video 12 Comments

So it turns out her brother, Matt, was the one committed to being one of the worst live performers of all time.  Good to know.

The fairer part of the Fiery Furnaces, live in Toronto, 2011. Go buy her new solo album.

WU LYF – Spitting Blood

Video 3 Comments

I have been spending some time on pitchfork lately. I have learned that it is very fashionable to sing in a punk rock/metal hybrid that sounds like a lo-fi Kings of Leon singer dude. You know, you gotta have that lo-fi for street cred.  Because, duh, Kings of Leon totally sold out after their first record. Anyway, I'd prefer if the singer of this band had a shirt on.

I might warm up to this. You know, if I don't have to look at him with his shirt off. Knitting Factory, 2011.

tUnE-yArDs – Powa

Video 6 Comments

here is my newfound love, tUnE-yArDs. normally, i'm pretty anti-looping pedal. in fact, i'm normally very anti-looping pedal (especially someone that uses two of them), but merrill garbus makes it work for me. her new studio album "w h o k i l l" is fabulous as well. even peckish jane likes it (which surprised me, i'll admit). anyway, this is one of those acts to keep an eye on:


2011

and for fun, one more after the jump...
