Animal Collective, Free Spirited Pop or A Spiraling Mess?

Thursday, August 25th, 2005

Proof that music is a tricky little bag to tag, the recent success and subsequent popularity of Animal Collective is baffling, at least to myself. Very seldomly will you catch someone standing on the street humming a tune to “Who Could Win a Rabbit”, most of their songs are unhummable (yeah, I made up […]

Wilco Experiments with the Cowbell!

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2005

In my constant search through the bit torrent jungle of all things wilco, my morning jacket, and neil young, I came across this precious little nugget, performed by Wilco back in November of 2004, in Tempe, AZ. They apparently closed the show with a rocking rendition of “Don’t Fear the Reaper.” No reports on […]

Jim James is Indeed a Rocket Man.

Wednesday, August 17th, 2005

The new, and much talked about, My Morning Jacket album, Z, leaked in its entirty about a month back, and I personally have been loving it. I am sincerely in love with everything they have ever done, the old stuff is organic and creepy the new stuff is shiny and brilliant. I totally can’t wait […]

Bearded Alive with Eskimo Eyes..

Tuesday, August 16th, 2005

So the band formerly known as The Microphones are back with a new album, first one since Mount Eerie in 2003, which I sort of had mixed feelings about it didn’t really have the lo-fi POP genius about it the way The Glow Pt. 2 did. I emphasize POP because The Glow Pt. […]

A few months ago I posed the question “What in the World Happend to Leisure”, a much talked about back in March of 2004 when they were selected for Pitchfork’s Top 5 Bands to Watch, a list that they unfortunatly didn’t continue in following years. Anyway, shortly after writing that article I got in […]
