Here’s Portland, Oregon’s husband and wife team Keith and Hollie Kenniff  (aka Mint Julep ) with a cover of the Headphones track “I Never Wanted You”.  I’d imagine there’s some pressure in covering a Bazan tune, but this duo does a great job, spinning a dreamier feel to the tune. Compare to the original . Read Full Story

Anyone else having a bad day?  Anyone else have one of their website hacked (not this one)? What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger… Soundtrack to this exact moment (and making my mood shift to the more positive side of the spectrum), “Sunsick” by Fort Lean .  Nothing like pounding drums, reverby guitars and “wooo wooo’s” to peak my interest and take my mind off other things. This song will be released on 7″ via Neon Gold/Black Bell Records and was p roduced by Ayad Al Adhamy from... Read Full Story

“The Fox” by Niki & The Dove .   Directed by WINTR, this video is visually stunning and slightly confusing.  It reminds of those guys in windsuits who jump off cliffs and soar down mountain ranges.  Only, this jumper’s fox helmet morphs, smokes and detects polygonal heat signatures.  Plus the parachute is made of streamers.  I wouldn’t have thought of that. Will I forget this video?  Probably not. Grab the track below too. Read Full Story

I am heading back to SXSW this year, after two years off.  Pumped.  I’m also on a panel about the work I do at Bearsuit .   Should be an eventful week.   But, the reason why I made this post was to point you towards this handy guide DO512 has put together. Basically, its a list/schedule of all the bands that I’ve written on my site that are playing SXSW this year.  Play around with it, stream some new bands and make your own schedule.

Here’s the single from the forthcoming album ( Wild Lines ) from eastcoaster  Mike O’Neill (formerly of The Inbreds).  Channeling timeless pop with a “rolling shuffle of drums and lush backing vocals”, “Henry” seems like a great reason for me to pick up this record (which follows up his 2004 classic,  The Owl) . To support the record, O’Neill will be touring Eastern Canada with an appearance at Shivering Songs ( http://shiveringsongs.com/ ) in Fredericton on February 04, and a album release...
