What a great day for new music. First there was my new favorite band Oregon Bike Trails, now there’s a highly unexpected collaboration! BOAT and John Roderick of the Long Winters teamed up for “Landlock,” a song written by BOAT. Thanks to Seattle Weekly for the download. MP3: BOAT ft John Roderick – Landlocked I’m [...]

This year I couldn’t make it to SXSW. I did, however, partner up with Spin and HP to bring you this behind-the-scenes footage from Yellow Ostrich’s trip to SXSW. So in a way it’s like we’re getting to travel to Austin with one of my favorite bands of the year. In this segment, the members [...]

Thanks to Sound Verite for sharing this new video from Minneapolis’ Nice Purse. It’s a slow pop song with just voice and acoustic guitar, yet for the video the group are dressed like they’ll be attending an Of Montreal show. Also I’m guessing it’s no small coincidence that the first line of the verse is [...]

GG is another reason that Bandcamp is my favorite innovation for bands/fans since twitter. He’s giving the whole album away for whatever you want to give in [...]

Burial, Four Tet + Thom Yorke: “Ego” Here are two dream-come-true tracks for anyone who’s a fan of two or more of these three musicians. My personal fav is “Mirror,” but they’re both really good. Still no Bjork/Thom collaboration, though. Burial, Four Tet + Thom Yorke: “Mirror”

I bet you feel silly now, Internet. Turns out the ungodly horrible “Friday” by Rebecca Black is actually just a 2011 update to a forgotten Bob Dylan song. I bet when ol’ Bob sings “Tomorrow is Saturday / And Sunday comes after…wards” you don’t feel like laughing. UPDATE: Apparently there’s been some confusion among my [...]
