Listen Before You Buy

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 Sufjan Stevens is like a bus.  You wait years for new music from him to arrive and then there’s a shitload of it all at once. It all started about three weeks ago when an out-of-the-blue, hour-long EP called “All Delighted People” showed up, and then almost two weeks ago there was the premiere [...]

TweetShare Late last night (think 3am EST) I was finishing up on some posts for the site when Dodge over at MyOldKentuckyBlog made a tweet saying that he’d have the premiere of a new Sufjan Stevens song called “I Walked” and to catch it early (he’s since removed the tweet).

Last week….or was it the week before……I can’t remember, I’m posting so much about these guys lately it’s difficult to keep track. Ok, it was last week I posted a live video of them taken at the end of June and last weekend [...]

TweetShare Last night (Saturday July 10th) saw Burnt Ones release their highly anticipated, sure-to-be critically acclaimed debut album “Black Teeth & Golden Tongues”. They only released it in Indiana last night, with a national release coming on August 10th via Dodge’s new label Roaring Colonel Records.  Below there’s an excellent video of them performing their [...]

TweetShare I’ve been harping on about these guys for a couple of months now (are you tired of it yet?) and the more I listen to their handful of available songs the more and more their debut album “Black Teeth & Golden Tongues” becomes one of my most anticipated albums of the year. Back then [...]

TweetShare Indianapolis three-piece Burnt Ones describe their sound as “a broken radio with a tape-deck full of magic mushrooms”, and they’re pretty spot on.  Their four publicly available songs switch between Glam, Surf, Garage, and Lo-Fi, interspersed with all manner of fuzzed-up bass riffs by Brian Allen, reverberating drum beats by Amy Crouch, and the vocals [...]
