TweetShare Being There‘s “Tomorrow” is everything I hope for from music. Unpretentious nostalgic hope, “Tomorrow” is the ideal sound for a drive through the fall night air with a car full of friends and a pack of American Spirits (unless you’re pro anti-smoking then maybe you would prefer beef jerky or something lame like that). [...]

TweetShare Two songs down and we’ve got another new track by Dum Dum Girls. This time it’s another trembling Surf-Rock slow jam in “Bedroom Eyes”, though not as slow and determined as the last track we heard “Coming Down”.  Personally the latter is the better of the two tracks as they’ve managed to pull off that ember-laden [...]

TweetShare I stopped following Beast Coast on Twitter a while ago because I was tired of reading about her getting stoned or how awesome her cat was. It’s a cat, all cats are awesome! Get over it! Anyway, to celebrate herself almost reaching the 50k follower mark on Twitter she’s uploaded a new track called [...]

TweetShare A quick update on the music news for the week before I get started: The Righteous Brothers‘ cover of “Unchained Melody” is on jukeboxes everywhere; anticipation for The Beatles‘ up-coming album “Help!” is reaching fever pitch; and The Ronettes‘ latest, “Is This What I Get For Loving You?”, has flopped, rather embarrassingly. That’s right: [...]

TweetShare Buy the album from Amazon – MP3 | CD Radical Dads don’t have the greatest band name, which sounds like something those midlife crisis dads who still have instruments lying around their house that they barely play would call themselves when set up in a garage. Lindsay Baker, Chris Diken, and Clap Your Hands [...]

TweetShareHere’s a cute video for “Gone Again” from everyone’s favorite stoner-grrrl band. From under the wing of Adult Swim’s new music endeavor comes this video of the girls launching dessert items at men tied to stakes. Connect with Best Coast: Facebook | Myspace | Twitter | Website | Last.fm

TweetShare After having to keep my mouth shut for the best part of a year for the debut album by Radical Dads, now they’re just attacking the shit outta the internet and dropping track after track for your wee downloady hands. Two weeks ago they dropped “New Age Dinosaur” and this week they’ve released “Walking [...]

TweetShare It’s been a hot minute since New Jersyan char-broiling Garage-Rock duo Slow Animal dropped any new tracks but today that allllll changed. Announcing that the song will be a part of a compilation being released in the U.K. with Las Robertas, Warm Brains, and The Proper Ornaments, they also mentioned that it’ll be on [...]

TweetShare Eight damn months.  That’s how long I’ve been waiting to post more new music from Radical Dads. Back in the middle of September 2010 their guitarist Robbie got in touch and sent me their album.  He just so happens to also be the guitarist in seminal NYC art-rockers Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, which is [...]

TweetShare This post is a “QuickPick”. QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that’s sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it’s so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I “star” it in [...]

TweetShare There were girls jumping up and down, balls flying, and beer spewing.  And that was just the first band.  Newcomers Best Coast and Wavves have teamed up on the tour, “Summer is Forever”.  Filling an almost sold out crowd at the 9:30 Club in our nation’s capital, the two bands brought the noise and [...]

TweetShare Yeah you read that right, four new videos by The Go! Team. That’s four over the course of a few days which is fucking impressive/insane/awesome.  Maybe they’re doing what others have done with special releases of their albums and included a DVD with videos for each of their songs.  Usually they’re more visual accompaniments as opposed [...]

TweetShare Album number three is only five days away for this Brighton fire-startin’, sample-lovin’, Indie-Pop meets Electronic Hip-Hop-Danceabilly-rockin’ ensemble otherwise known as The Go! Team. Back in October they released the first single from the album “T.O.R.N.A.D.O.”, then they released the video for it and that’s it so far, but a couple of months of [...]
