Tomboy, Panda Bear’s followup to 2007’s amazing Person Pitch at long last has a release date. So in case you were worried about a lack of amazing music coming out in 2011 (you weren’t.) you can now worry no longer. Open up your calendars right now and write down April 19. That’s the day that Noah […]

I’m usually watching Willow on mute and listening to Bromst. But now I get the chance to watch Val Kilmer on screen with a real life score by Dan Deacon. Finally! Kilmer will be starring in the upcoming Francis Ford Coppola flick Twixt Now and Sunrise. Deacon recently said that he is trying to do more artisticly-minded work, […]

As I’m writing this, I’m trapped under a mound of snow. (It’s probably really bad for me to have a computer down here with me.) But luckily I have a bunch of chill summer beach tunes to listen to until everything thaws and it is warm weather again. This version “Killin’ the Vibe” is a […]

I’m calling it now. The star-studded EP Derealization by The Forms, coming out in February, will be one of the standout releases of 2011. This is going to be the record where people – fans and music publications alike – will take notice of this band who has been releasing (slowly but surely) solid music […]

A friend of mine recently said that Deerhoof is the only live band left. Apparently they are a pretty great music video band too. This video for the song “Super Duper Rescue Heads!” proves at least one of those two statements is true. The band’s forthcoming album is titled Deerhoof vs. Evil. In this song, […]

Whether you’re a sniffling nose kid, a hallucinating desert-roamer or a flying whale, you just can’t catch a break in the video for “Kaputt.” The title track from Destroyer’s new album is smooth with Kenny G-style sax and sexiness. I can’t help but feel bad for all the dreams that get shattered in this video, […]

I am glad the Decemberists took a bit of a break. It’s been about three years since their last proper release studio effort The Hazards of Love. And now after getting some time away from them, letting their old records digest, we can go back to remembering why we liked these guys to begin with. […]

Remember when the iPad came out and the big news about it was how lame the name was? I think people have gotten beyond that now. With Gorillaz releasing an album that Damon Albarn recorded solely on an iPad, with Moog developing its own app, and with so many artists willing to embrace anything new […]

Bethany Cosentino and Nathan Williams and their cat (and album cover star), Snacks, provided some of the most darling indie pop moments of 2010. They’re like the indie stoner rock power couple who, even if you don’t really like their music, you kind of want to hang out with them. So it just kind of […]

The group have announced a contest asking people to remix “Hahahaha JK?” a standout jam from the second of their two releases this year, Sit Down, Man. The original track has a great Boi 1da-produced beat composed of the theme to “Days of Our Lives,” which in itself is maybe a joke, maybe not? Plus, you’ve got great and clever lyrics to work with – about Four Lokos, Rockfort tees, Dwight Schrute and a few bars where Heems and Victor are just listing snack foods.

Total ghost aren’t a fictional band the way, say, The Monkees were a fictional band. Or even the way that a modern fictional band like Gorillaz are. They have taken the fake band idea and totally ran with it, taking the internet and probably soon the world by storm. Bictor and Chon hit the ground […]
