I’m partial to acoustic sessions, demos, and just downright lo-fi recordings. The exception to this is punk music. Punk doesn’t always translate well into the acoustic realm. This is for a few reasons. First, punk musicians aren’t always that talented. That’s kind of the point of punk music. You get a chance to let out… Continue reading Joe Jack Talcum at Get It On Vinyl

Fishboy at Raised By Gypsies
So I’m including the official Fishboy Bandcamp link up there, but I have this as a CD and there is no graphic novel included so I’m not entirely sure what the options are for how to buy it as such because all I see are the graphic novel, digital and vinyl options. Was this… Continue reading Fishboy at Raised By Gypsies
Mind Brains at the Examiner
Sometimes in life you need to take the time to step outside your comfort zone and experience new and different things. By taking time out of your day to listen to the latest record from Mind Brains would classify as doing just that. Consisting of members of Marshmellow Coast, Olivia Tremor Control, of Montreal, Music… Continue reading Mind Brains at the Examiner
Mind Brains at Raised By Gypsies
I really don’t have a reference to compare Mind Brains to but that is okay. Here’s all that you need to know about this band. Their music is sometimes instrumental and sometimes it has vocals. I’ve never actually measured it in any manner but it could be a pretty even split between… Continue reading Mind Brains at Raised By Gypsies

Something about the golden days of American radio, how that was half a lifetime ago for me, how radical even James Taylor sounded to a kid who listened… Continue reading Animal Daydream at Collapse Board
Fireworks at Gold Flake Paint
How is it that keen observations about love blend so well with high-powered guitars? Half the joy of indie pop stems from the nuances, and especially the little feelings – the reverent touching for the first time, the fumbling for the right word, the agony in being ignored. The Buzzcocks celebrated rejection and the Wedding… Continue reading Fireworks at Gold Flake Paint

Mind Brains at Big Takeover
Comprised of former and current members of The New Sound of Numbers, Of Montreal, Dark Meat andOlivia Tremor Control, Athens, GA’s Mind Brains tap into an extra-terrestrial future with their brain-warping debut. Mind Brains is other-worldly pop music for a cyborg proletariat. Droning synthesizers recall the krautrock of Cluster and Radioactivity era Kraftwerk in darker moments, Gary… Continue reading Mind Brains at Big Takeover
Crayon at Performer
Crayon existed as a whisper, a rumor, a mysterious name on the wind for the past 20 years. It’s been that long since their only full-length, Brick Factory, was originally released on cassette and CD by Massachusetts label Harriet Records. Since then, it’s been heralded by indie icons like Dinosaur, Jr. But for years, actually… Continue reading Crayon at Performer
