Ah. Nostalgia. TMBG turns 30 years old!

Plus a surprisingly loud and dissonant version of Ana Ng. 1988 + a bit more noise.

New FREE 3-song EP from RA Scion

2012-01-23T15:13:00.000-06:00

BEG x BORROW x STEAL

Pause whatever you are doing, and head on over to http://www.rascion.com for a free download of his new BEG BORROW STEAL EP. 3 songs, inspired by and in honor of the Anonymous Movement, and from what I heard previously, the Occupy Movement(s).

You may remember me promoting RA Scion's previous work as the MC for Common Market and his subsequent project Victor Shade. His 2008 album "Tobacco Road" made my top 5 that year. Heck, I even had a "Common Market Week" once - back when this blog was a bit more active.

He is one of my favorite MCs, and from my communication, seems like a generally alright guy. Friendly, honest, earnest, sincere. Those seem to be attributes in short supply lately.

Go download the EP, spread the word and send RA Scion your words of encouragement and support!

If you like this music, please spread the word on twitter, google+, facebook or other social networks.

New Blue Scholars video - Seijun Suzuki

2012-01-23T14:43:00.001-06:00

This was one of my favorite tracks off of the Blue Scholars' Cinemetropolis (my #1 album of 2011, btw). I just love that vocoder loop in the background.

This Jon Jon Augustavo directed video does not disappoint.

J. Tillman leaves Fleet Foxes

2012-01-19T15:56:00.003-06:00

Just yesterday I was commenting to my wife how crazy it is that Fleet Foxes have J. Tillman playing drums for them. He is an amazing musician in his own right, and his solo LPs have topped a lot of my lists (#1 in 2009) for a while. Drumming and singing harmonies for Fleet Foxes has always struck me somehwhat a waste of his considerable solo talent.

Since he joined Fleet Foxes in 2008 he has released an album a year - so just imagine what his output will be if he can dedicate 100% time to touring and writing. Awesome awesome awesome. On his tumblr page, he wrote "Back into the gaping maw of obscurity I go," but for one I am very excited to see what he does next. And, Mr. Tillman, I'll continue attempting to offer whatever promotion I can along the way!

Cheers and good luck!

Here is an impressive live set from a couple years back for your consideration:

New Dr. Dog video - That Old Black Hole

From the upcoming Be the Void February 7th on ANTI Records.

Introducing Damien Fairchild and "For All the Girls"

2012-01-09T11:23:00.000-06:00

"When a psuedonymous project out does myself, I understand why I can't be myself."

So says former-road-warrior-play-500-shows-a-year-singer-songerwriter-now-owner-of-the-Danburry-Barbershop-and-all-around-good-guy, Drew Danburry of his new alter-ego Damien Fairchild and his music project, "For All the Girls" and the 51,000 views one of his new music videos has garnered on youtube.

I knew Drew in college and have written about him before. His brand of oft-lo-fi acoustic pop brims with optimism and sunny skies while often delving into fairly dense material. Having given up the touring lifestyle and settling down as a killer barber (no sweeney todd reference intended), he is still putting out music. His first alter-ego was in form of Sebastian Salazar, front man of "The Apache" and self-described as the meanest person on earth.

As Damien Fairchild he takes on just about the opposite. He writes as a teenage boy, enamored with girls and boasting an already long list of broken hearts. Explaining the new project, he explains:

"In 2010, I felt like I had hit a brick wall with music. I'd been touring nonstop and trying to make a living playing music for at least 6 years straight. Music was no longer fun. It was filled with pressure and expectation. And more than anything, I really wanted to enjoy making music again. To go back to the beginning and to start again.

So I created a character named Damien Fairchild, to write songs through, similar to a method actor.

Creating a pseudonym and staying in character, may strike some as dishonest, but for me it was a necessary creative outlet. It was never meant to be a mean spirited prank, and if I may, I'd like to apologize if you've felt annoyed or confused by the project.

It's a fine line between sharing your music with others and maintaining your privacy and I guess I'll never have both. But I am happy to be making music again, and I can only hope there are some people out there who are happy about it, too."

There are a number of singles already released that you should purchase.

The latest is "Valerie"

The full-length LP will be released on Valentines Day, February 14, 2012.

Until then, enjoy the singles and these videos.

The Promise Ring Reunite!!!

2011-11-23T12:59:00.001-06:00

Whoa!!!

Via stereogum.

"Other than a one-off 2005 show, emo originators the Promise Ring haven’t played any shows since breaking up in 2002. That changes next year, when the band gets together to play a pair of reunion shows: 2/24 and Milwaukee’s Turner Hall and 2/25 at Chicago’s Metro. As Punknews reports, there may be more shows on the way, and the band also plans to release a collection of rarities next summer on Dangerbird. It’ll include outtakes and demos from the sessions that produced Wood/Water, the band’s largely unloved final album. So maybe they’re picking up where they left off?"

Andrew Bird Documentary trailer - Fever Year

2011-10-25T16:54:00.002-05:00

If you are unaware, Andrew Bird is one of the more phenomenally gifted savant-type musicians out there today. Proficient in a number of instruments, virtuoso on the violin, avid whistler - I have been dying to see his live performance for years. Well - now I can sate this by watching the documentary. Dear Netflix - please put this on the instant stream ASAP!

R.E.M. Breaks Up

2011-09-21T13:11:00.001-05:00

"R.E.M. Call it a day" Wow. R.E.M. was one of a few seminal bands in my musical upbringing. During middle and high school, I listened pretty excursively to them and 2-3 other bands faithfully. It was by downloading tab to the full R.E.M. catalog and finding a chord chart that I taught myself how to play guitar (and subsequently record 17 albums of demos that I have never really shared with the world). I was really disappointed in the Up-Reveal-Around the Sun era, but so excited when they came back in force with Accelerate and Collapse into now. So, it is sad to hear they are calling it a day. However, it is better that they go out on a high note than to drift off into oblivion and irrelevancy by devolving again and putting out forgettable albums. R.E.M. - you will be missed. Yours is the soundtrack to a LOT of my adolescent and early adult life. Thanks for the music.

From the R.E.M. HQ Website;

R.E.M. CALL IT A DAY (UPDATED WITH BAND MEMBERS' COMMENTS)

"To our Fans and Friends: As R.E.M., and as lifelong friends and co-conspirators, we have decided to call it a day as a band. We walk away with a great sense of gratitude, of finality, and of astonishment at all we have accomplished. To anyone who ever felt touched by our music, our deepest thanks for listening." R.E.M.

In their own words: The guys share their thoughts on why now.

MIKE

"During our last tour, and while making Collapse Into Now and putting together this greatest hits retrospective, we started asking ourselves, 'what next'? Working through our music and memories from over three decades was a hell of a journey. We realized that these songs seemed to draw a natural line under the last 31 years of our working together.

"We have always been a band in the truest sense of the word. Brothers who truly love, and respect, each other. We feel kind of like pioneers in this--there's no disharmony here, no falling-outs, no lawyers squaring-off. We've made this decision together, amicably and with each other's best interests at heart. The time just feels right."

MICHAEL

"A wise man once said--'the skill in attending a party is knowing when it's time to leave.' We built something extraordinary together. We did this thing. And now we're going to walk away from it.

"I hope our fans realize this wasn't an easy decision; but all things must end, and we wanted to do it right, to do it our way.

"We have to thank all the people who helped us be R.E.M. for these 31 years; our deepest gratitude to those who allowed us to do this. It's been amazing."

PETER

"One of the things that was always so great about being in R.E.M. was the fact that the records and the songs we wrote meant as much to our fans as they did to us. It was, and still is, important to us to do right by you. Being a part of your lives has been an unbelievable gift. Thank you.

"Mike, Michael, Bill, Bertis, and I walk away as great friends. I know I will be seeing them in the future, just as I know I will be seeing everyone who has followed us and supported us through the years. Even if it's only in the vinyl aisle of your local record store, or standing at the back of the club: watching a group of 19 year olds trying to change the world."

Wow. A markedly more rawkus and cacaphonous version of what was one of the album's most delicate tracks.

Wilco's Jeff Tweedy Cover's the Black Eyed Peas

2011-09-07T10:04:00.001-05:00

As if the absolute trainwreck that Black Eyed Peas' lyrics have become lately wasn't apparent enough from their own recordings - just take a listen to how inane they sound when performed by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy. The spoken word sections just really bring out the horrible in "I Gotta Feeling."
