Listen Before You Buy

Unlike pop, Old Soul’s music doesn’t suck – it just contains the same likeability and sugary-sweetness that many pop acts rely on solely. Check out this album if you’ve ever liked hushed duets, bouquets of brass instrumental licks, or easy-listening guitar music.

TweetShare While on tour, Mumford and Sons stopped by Colorado radio station, KBCO to perform “The Cave” and a new song that is untitled, but has been dubbed “Home” by the listeners.  Mumford and Sons have been on tour for some time now, stopping by the Grammys for a mega-collaboration with the one and only [...]

TweetShare QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that’s sent to me that I like, out into the wide web world (or dubya dots). Any time I get sent music that I like I “star” it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later.  If it’s still [...]

TweetShare The cover art of “Home”, the debut album from Binghampton University duo Vermilion Club, might have you geared up for a dreary experience. Fear not: those worries are dispelled the moment the music starts. “Daylight” kicks in with a snappy, upbeat guitar line and vocals delivered with childlike enthusiasm that doesn’t fade at all [...]

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 Remember when Animal Collective was shiny and new? Remember how you felt… confused, intrigued, but ultimately starving for more? This is the kind of tingly feeling I got when I listened to Old Arc. Old Arc is Austin Lee and Stefan Lazer of Santa Cruz, California. These guys are a duo of another world; [...]

TweetShare Ok it’s not new, been out for a month or so, but I’m only just seeing it. If you partake in a little bit of the Mary Jane, you might want to get sparking or hit that bong before you watch this video for The Suzan‘s “Home”, because when my sober self watched it [...]

TweetShare Back in August I posted about the insanely upbeat and wildly exciting new Japanese all-girl band The Suzan, who, even though they only had less than a handful of songs that we could hear without having to see them live, were making some fairly large waves around the music world. In my post I had their [...]

TweetShare This four piece, all-girl band from Japan (Saori, Rie, Nico, Ikue) have been exciting the western world over the last few months with their take on xylophone-induced Power-Pop-Punk. It amazes me how these bands whose native tongue isn’t English can sing in pretty much perfect English, and The Suzan are no exception.  With only two [...]

TweetShare Acoustic singer-songwriter stuff isn’t a genre I usually have much time for – there has to be something special to separate it from the pack of sensitive young troubadours with guitars. But Villagers’ new album “Becoming A Jackal”, is something quite special. It’s all the work of one guy – Conor J O’Brien – [...]

TweetShare If that title made any sense to you then you can just stop reading and watch the video, but if, on the other hand, you have no idea what I’m talking about then read on. You may already know Alex Ebert (singer) from such bands as Ima Robot and….that’s it.  He is/was the singer [...]
