So it turns out that Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, and Nirvana toured Europe together.
That’s a little bit insane.
Dinosaur Jr. - Freak Scene
Here’s a song from Kithkin’s debut EP. The band is from Seattle, and sound like a more turned up, less math rock version of Maps & Atlases.
Kithkin - Ampersand
Levels of creepy mixed with a great song.
Mitchmatic - Why Don’t You Know
There’s only a couple of Django Django songs on Spotify, but they’re probably on my most played to list of the past few months.
Default is their newest single, and now it has a video. Their album will be out January 30th on Because.
Also, this. I’m very excited about this. I could probably also do some talking about some documentaries I have seen recently.
Shut Up And Play The Hits
Dear Tumblog what am I going to do with you?
Being Head of Music for freshair.org.uk - even just for six months - was completely exhausting. I learned a lot about the music industry, but mainly I learned that forced listening to music means you don’t find things that you enjoy.
Have some Son Volt - probably the best folk/country band that I can think of at the moment.
Son Volt - Dynamite
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]It took me a while to finally kick myself into gear about listening to Kurt Vile, after missing a series of concerts he was playing at festivals, but I finally have, and am now wondering why I didn’t earlier.
Jesus Fever was nominated by Pitchfork as a top song of 2011, for good reason. Mr. Vile’s croning layered over the intricate yet easy going guitar play is an absolute pleasure to listen to.
Kurt Vile - Jesus Fever
Here’s Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy) covering Caribou’s Odessa. It’s incredibly well done.
Was just linked to this album, and felt like I haven’t done enough for this blog in a long long time.
Saw these guys two nights ago, they were phenomenal.
