I've never watched Glee and the commercials always seem to remind me why. And then I saw this...and I'm still not going to watch the show.

Free Bad Religion Concert Download
Posted by Seth on May 18, 2010
Bad Religion is celebrating their 30th birthday this month by giving away a free live record on their website for the price of an email address. File this under good deals. I saw Bad Religion at House of Blues a few weeks ago and it was a kick ass good time. I know, thanks for sharing and just get to the damn mp3's.

Free Download from BadReligion.com here.

New Today: Leisure
Posted by Seth on May 18, 2010
Unlike Pitchfork who couldn't come to an opinion, I'll say Leisure has cool vibe, similar to that brilliant Coconut Records album from a few years ago. Definitely a band from the northeast, you can hear it in their sound. I get the feeling Leisure is a couple key songs away from a clear direction moving forward that will open all kinds of doors. Pop isn't dead but I think there's a lot of unchartered ground to be covered here that will take Leisure to better places in the long run. It's tough not to like these guys.

Radiohead - 11.6.95 Cambridge (UK)
Posted by Seth on May 17, 2010


'when I was at college, it was the Pixies and R.E.M. that changed my life...it's up to you now Jonny'- Yorke

I've been spending more time trying to get into Jonny Greenwood's head than my own the past few months. Learning how to beat the shit out of my guitar like him, trying to sound like him…just trying to understand him. My neighbors definitely hate me for it. And I guess this show is a great reason why and worth at least a few listens. Recorded for the BBC in November, 1995 (Bends era) at the Corn Exchange in Cambridge, this set finds Radiohead just crushing it in the midst of stardom that was both overwhelming, and yet just out of reach in terms of conquering the states. Jonny sets up on stage left. Lend him your right ear for an hour and you'll see he's legitimately out of his mind, and I love him for it. He's a personal hero. Yeah, I still have heroes. And the clip from Coachella '04 is nothing short of evolution.

If you're going to do something, enjoy this set.

New Today: Angus & Julia Stone
Posted by Seth on May 13, 2010
who says pop music is dead? not Angus and Julia Stone. just look at them and see stars. I'm sure that I'm late to the party here, been sitting on this for too long, but this one hits the spot pretty good. Catch this brother/sister duo from the northern beaches of Sydney (sounds amazing doesn't it) on tour at a theater or cemetary near you.  now they just need a website I can find my way around (re: RSS) and life will be peachy.

New Today: The Antlers & Dirty Dancing
Posted by Seth on May 5, 2010
hey man
look at me rocking out
I'm on the radio...

If you're feeling all Lou Reed indie, listen here to Dirty Dancing's Magnet Kisses. These guys are a solid lo-fi duo with roots in the south and midwest. They bring back late 70's New York post-punk in a nice way. I like 'em a lot and predict bigger things than a writeup on this shitty no-name blog. Here's an interview with more about Dirty Dancing. Shout out to Covert Curiosity for the find.
Dirty Dancing - Magnet Kisses

If you're feeling down, listen here to The Antlers covering VCR from the xx. It will make you question whether it's better than the original. A good cover adapts but doesn't evolve. Big word to my friend Francis who's been working so hard behind the scenes for them. Big word to Peter & co. for hanging in and making it so people have no choice but to listen. I miss my dog even more when I hear this one.
The Antlers - VCR (the xx cover)

*if you're not feeling either right now, I don't know what to tell you. come back tomorrow.

New Today: The Tins
Posted by Seth on Apr 30, 2010
Behold fathah muckers, The Tins. This is why I skip around so many horrible songs and bands that barely stand a chance at being derivative. I've listened to 'The Green Room' so many times in a row and it just keeps getting better. Check out their myspace page for more tunes and definitely buy their EP as soon as it's released. This song clocks in at 7:12 and not a second is wasted. Can't wait to see these guys when they come to LA. Today, my hat is off to The Tins.
