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 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 [...]

Ah, a bit of slightly sad news today. I stopped by WRFL’s office today to see if I’d made it on the list as a DJ - unfortunately I had not. I guess I got in my request too late (I forgot to sign the paper at the end of last year) and there were [...]

Part two of my “moving to college so I’ll post old bands that I’ve already talked about but still love” theme is one of my favorites. Hailing from Dayton, The Motel Beds might just be what you needed to hear today. Aw, shoot. Lemme just quote what I said about them last time.
These crazy kids [...]

Irish rockers, The Chalets have put their new video, “No Style,” online for your viewing pleasure. While it’s nowhere near as good as the video for “Feel the Machine,” it’s still mildly entertaining. However, I think the real let down is the song. It just doesn’t seem up to snuff.
Also, The Chalets will be [...]

So I’ll be taking the next two days “off.” I use the quotations because I’ll still post, but it’ll be bands that I’ve mentioned before. This is partly because I love them so much that I have to bring them to your attention, and partly because I’ll be so busy packing up for college that [...]
