OK! One part research, one part messing around, I made this mix in part to familiarize myself more with current J-Rock bands leading up to my trip to Japan in a couple weeks. Most of my favorite Japanese groups tend toward the electronic side of the spectrum, like Capsule and [...]

Contra
Vampire Weekend's newest album, Contra, hits stores next Tuesday! To drum up buzz for the record, the band appeared on the Juan's Basement segment over at Pitchfork TV, playing through Cousins and White Sky and answering a few questions in between. I'm a little surprised that they didn't record a version of Horchata, my favorite [...]

Soundgarden World
Knights of the Soundtable ride again!
In a tweet around midnight last night, Chris Cornell announced the launch of www.soundgardenworld.com, a site which pretty much cements the return of The Greatest Band of All Time. Those of you that remember the hey day of Soundgarden will recall the Knights of the Soundtable, Soundgarden's official fan club [...]

Annum

Fresh off my, um, success?, with Orbity, I put together a really straightforward mix of my favorite tracks from 2009 which I've titled Annum. There aren't any fancy effects or EQ twiddling or anything like that - just a bunch of great tunes laid out in as smooth and [...]

I've wanted to take another stab at mixing for years now, and finally found the time to fire up Ableton while I was home for Thanksgiving. In school I kept to using Acid primarily, so bear with me while I noodle with the new software, it's a little daunting!
I started [...]

Take-Away Phoenix
Absolutely brilliant…Phoenix teamed up with La Blogotheque for a few impromptu songs on the streets of Paris as part of their Take-Away Shows series. The band kept things simple using only acoustic guitars and a synthesizer, and Mars's only microphone was the one on the video camera. There's a lot to be said for watching [...]

Whip It
This will be a little on the short side considering the Thanksgiving holiday and all, but two weeks ago I caught Devo before a loud, boisterous crowd at The Vic. The band is playing double shows in a few cities in support of the reissues of their two best albums, Are We Not Men? We [...]

In Circles
I've gone to a lot of concerts lately, and to a one they've been fantastic, euphoric experiences. Still, only very rarely can I say that a show has been a special, legendary, once-in-a-lifetime event - the kind of show that Sunny Day Real Estate put on at the Paramount Theater in Seattle back on October [...]

BHGBKMFDM
This is going to be quick as the Yankees have my attention this week, but about a month ago (I'm really awful at this updating thing, I know) I caught two shows back to back that were just fantastic. Beach House opened for Grizzly Bear at the Metro during a downpour, playing tunes pulled mostly [...]

Lisztomania
I'm only two weeks late on this one!
As even a cursory search on this blog would show, I've been particularly high on Phoenix since their release of Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix earlier this year. This was my first chance to see them live since I discovered them (let's just ignore their first two or three albums [...]
