Deleted Scenes - "Fake IDs"
For me, music has always been a deeply personal emotional experience. For every goofy mindless song I've thrown on repeat, there's a song like Radiohead's "How to Disappear Completely" that shakes my entire existence and leaves me trembling in fear and sadness. From Ian Curtis to Elliot Smith to Scott Walker [...]
In the latter part of 2009 I met Christopher Paul Stelling at a friend's house party where Stelling would be performing. Up until that point I had only heard of Stelling from that friend, who raved endlessly about him. I'd taken a gander at his myspace and enjoyed a couple of the sounds, but never [...]
Miracles of Modern Science - "I Found Space"
In the last decade it's become quite common for rock bands to utilize string players to expand their sound, but not for rock bands to structure their sounds around these instruments the way Miracles of Modern Science have done. Since Arcade Fire's Funeral was embraced by music lovers [...]
Ghastly City Sleep - "I Never Left My Head" (Live at Glasslands)
Royal Forest - "Borrowed Tune" (Neil Young cover live at Glasslands)
Royal Chains - "Won't Back Down" (Tom Petty cover live at Glasslands)
My friends at NYCTaper.com recorded my May 3rd concert at Glasslands (though they missed Brick+Mortar's phenomenal set). This concert was a memorable one, [...]
Hooray For Earth - "Surrounded By Your Friends (Adrienne Drake remix)"
Hooray For Earth frontman Noel Heroux is nothing at all like Sid Vicious, but the first time I saw him play he smashed his beloved Flying V during the band's grand finale at a Bushwick loft space. Unlike the legendary punk rocker, Heroux's destruction was [...]
If there was any justice in the music world, Slowdive would be regarded as highly as My Bloody Valentine and Neil Halstead wouldn't have a difficult time selling out a venue as small as Union Hall. Unfortunately for the Slowdive and Mojave 3 singer/songwriter the Brooklyn venue wasn't at capacity for his performance on Tuesday [...]
Only inches away from the seated Zs at their record release party at Knitting Factory, I couldn't help but think of John Zorn's legendary band Naked City. Along with Bill Frisell (guitar), Fred Frith (bass), Wayne Horvitz (synth/piano), and Joey Baron (drums), the avant-garde sax player created some of the most original and unpredictable compositions [...]

There are few things in journalism more unethical than changing or deleting your past, and dig deep enough about indie music's juggernaut Pitchfork and you'll find that they've done just that. Reviews have been deleted and new reviews have been written to reflect current tastes/trends.
Very very few things are more amusing than the long [...]

Based out in Southern California, Jesus Makes The Shotgun Sound are far more than just a ridiculous name. They're make some of the most ambitiously epic rock music of anyone around. At times their songs may show signs of Radiohead-influence but they quickly take unexpected turns into completely different territory, all the while feeling cinematic.

From the album Machines That Listen, out now now Lefse records.
