How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Start Loving Local Bars
August 28th, 2005 by Matt
This has been a pretty sweet weekend and it’s not even over. On Friday I met up with the fine, fine folks at Lexington’s finest indie bar, The Dame, to discuss our arrangement. I’ll be helping them out with odds and ends that they need in the way of promotion, and in return I’ll be [...]

August 27th, 2005 by Matt
First of all, let me say that I hope none of you are expecting a studio track. Some kind fan was good enough to capture OM’s performance of their not yet officially titled new track when it was unveiled at this month’s Popfest and then post it on the ‘net. For more details, I suggest [...]

Apples in Stereo Song Used in HP Ad
August 26th, 2005 by Matt

But on to the story. Recently HP licensed the Apples in stereo song “The Rainbow” (off my favorite Apples album, Discovery of [...]

The Descent of the Holy Ghost Church
August 25th, 2005 by Matt
Sometimes the ease of finding bands on the intenet frustrates me. The cats over at The Secret Unicorns Forum pointed me to Detroit natives, The Descent of the Holy Ghost Church. After hearing a couple tunes, I was hooked. Now, the agitation kicks in about where I tried to google the band. All that comes [...]

The Happy Couple
August 24th, 2005 by Matt
Since I spent most of today biking around the beautiful city of Lexington, I figured that I should present you with a song refelctive of my mood. The Happy Couple are a German duo, Janehoney(?) and Tom Hilverkus, that specialize in the kind of cheery pop tunes that made rock and roll worth listening to [...]

Nervous and the Kid
August 24th, 2005 by Matt
Nervous and the Kid are somewhere between a lo-fi Sufjan and a countrified Great Lake Swimmers. Setting aside the fact that the cover of their album kinda looks like Eric and Donna from That 70s Show; Nervous and the Kid seem to have landed in a very unique musical niche. They’re stripped down enough to [...]
