-
Fleet Foxes
The first time I heard “Boots of Spanish Leather,” it was as if all of the oxygen had been drained from the room, suddenly replaced with the wavering golden longing of this one song. Only it wasn’t Dylan singing, it…
-
Flight of the Conchords
How do you get someone to fall in love with you? Well, looking good helps, certainly. It’s almost impossible to overstate the importance of the “physically attractive” factor within the love equation. But, what of the nugatory remainder? …

Grand Archives
Seattle, WA is famous for many things. Sunlight is not one of them. Yet illumination and warmth suffuse the self-titled debut from Emerald City quintet Grand Archives. Dark times do not necessarily call for dark music. And, while singer/guitarist Mat…

-
No Age
No Age: the name alone suggests multiple meanings and possible interpretations—timeless, ageless, anonymous, free from restriction, something positive from something negative… a profound strength in its simplicity. Likewise, the Los Angeles duo consisting of drummer/vocalist Dean Spunt and guitarist Randy…
-
Pissed Jeans
The Straight World is a shallow, boring, soul-sucking vortex. This is where most folks spend their quiet, desperate lives. Working to consume, consuming to achieve status. Distractions like celebrity watching and religion are…
-
Red Red Meat
Their music demonstrates that they are not interested in carefully mapped journeys. They are interested in the search itself. They helped put Chicago back on the music-scene map in the late 1980s and early 1990s. “Most bluesy rock…
-
The Ruby Suns
Phones ring and field recordings follow: footsteps in a friend’s backyard, getting drunk at a bar in Chicago, screaming kids at an indoor pool, and Kenyan rug makers singing. All of these sounds churn within tidal tape manipulations. Relating to…
-
Seaweed
“This band can do no wrong. Record after record, they continue to write some of the catchiest rocking songs ever. Every time I hear something I’ve never heard by them, at first, I find myself going back to the record, playing it more and more…

Wolf Parade
I first met the members of Wolf Parade in Manhattan at a diminutive venue called Pianos where I’d booked the band as part of a show to benefit a literary magazine. This was several months before the release of ”??Apologies…
