Hey guys. I’m a bit sick right now (must be a ‘blogger named Matt thing,’ Matt from Fluxblog has it too). So to cure this I’m going to lay in bed, watch Futurama and try to write a couple mini-articles that I’ve been lucky enough to have been asked to submit for magazines. I’ll let [...]

I actually watched the OC last night. Aside from the fact that I was super lost (my good female friend Cameron tried her best to keep me up to speed), it actually wasn’t that bad. I did get a little let down that they missed the chance to play some indie trip-out music. I would [...]

Human Television will be releasing their debut album, Look At Who You’re Talking To, on Gigantic Music on May 2nd. While ‘I Laughed’ is the only song I’ve heard from it so far, it’s definetely got my attention. MP3: Human Television – I Laughed I’m having difficulty thinking of the best band to offer as [...]

But if you all were one of those suffering from a crappy January 24th, here are two songs that I think might brighten your day. MP3: Islands – [...]

National Eye‘s new album, Roomful of Lions, is a hodgepoge of instruments blended together to make startlingly moving pop-folk songs. They’ve got just a touch of the freak-folk movement running through their songs, but not too much to scare off the indie pop fans among you. MP3: National Eye – Ag1 Drugged out Flaming Lips [...]

Remember that Vines song I posted and then had to quickly take down? Well, it’s finished and will apparently be the single off the new album, (I believe) entitled Vision Valley. The song streams at the main page. Oh, and yes I know it’s relatively simple to download/convert or rip this song. However, since I [...]

Two Gallants‘ new Saddle Creek album, What the Toll Tells, is a great blend of Americana. Apparently these two young men are from California, and that completely makes sense. Not because it’s sunny pop or hopelessly liberal; but rather this seems like a soundtrack for some of the more southern states. Sure Sufjan knows how [...]
