Saint Motel - Ace In The Hole

Alex on November 13 2013

My favorite Hemlock Grove band returns with a new single. I always feel so guilty listening to bands this poppy - I guess you could say its a guilty pleasure. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go thaw my face.

Speedy Ortiz - No Below

new girl crush on Sadie Dupuis, lead singer and guitarist of Speedy Ortiz. Thank you for making music that sounds like my favorite type of music. Oh, and bravo on one of the best slow builds ever.

Tennis - Mean Streets

Alex on November 11 2013

A perfect track to kick off this cold Monday morning. No jokes here, folks... just cold bitter reluctance to kick this week off.

R3set - Pyramid

Alex on November 08 2013

Sitting in Calexico enjoying some solid carne asada tacos with a side of crack sauce when the man next to me orders what could possibly be the most unsatisfying meal possible - "One tofu asada taco please." I know a lot of vegetarians and vegans personally who also listen to this site so I pose this questions to them... Why the fuck do all the veggie products have to have some quirky retarded meat affiliation - tofurky? soysage?! Regardless... bacon4lyfe.

Panama - Destroyer

See Prince Avalanche. Not only because the acting is brilliant and the story is touching, but because the soundtrack is scored by Explosions in the Sky. Nuff said.

Son Lux - No Crimes

Alex on November 06 2013

So this album happened and blew my fucking mind... but more importantly I experienced what could possibly the most first world problem. Last night I had an internal debate over whether to order the shittier Chinese food which comes with a fortune cookie or the better tasting Chinese food which comes sans cardboard destiny treat. After much internal deliberation the better tasting Chinese food prevailed. Now I'm left here with great chicken and fried rice but no future.

Midlake - Antiphon

I walked along with my head down, meandering through the humdrum of daily existence. Then I heard something... Something calling from the distance. It was Midlake, and now all is well with the world.

Midlake - The Old and The Young

alex on November 04 2013

Midlake returns- this time with a new singer. I was skeptical about this album but it grew on me pretty quickly. For those not familiar with Midlake their singer/songwriter left the band to fend for themselves. Eric Pulido, their guitarist, stepped up to bat at vocals. Personally I don't think Midlake has ever sounded better, so rock on Eric Pulido and Midlake for your perseverance. I'll leave you with a quote from Pulido responding to why the band stuck together - "I remember Wayne Coyne from The Flaming Lips once told us â€” a long time ago, when they graciously had us on tour â€” he said, 'You know, if I could give you one piece of advice ... .' And we're all waiting with bated breath to hear what Wayne Coyne from The Flaming Lips would send down from heaven and give us this piece of advice. And he says, 'Just stay together.' You know, it was so simple, but it's right," Pulido says. "If it's there, keep going."

Darkside - Paper Trails

chris on October 30 2013

There is so much music that comes into the world everyday that I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed. I mean, I reached my maximum of peoples names that I can remember about 8 years ago. So... I'm pretty much fucked. I need an intern just for reminding me of songs I like. A braintern. Sorry brainterns, I can't offer college credit. Or money.
