Where I sift through music blogs so you don't (necessarily) have to. Follow links and things.

  • Another week another Grizzly Bear stream: listen to "Cheerleader" here. Do you have your tickets for the June 2nd show, or do you have your tickets to the June 2nd show?
  • Armand Van Helden remixes Bloc Party
  • Lucky Soul, who put out probably one of the most underrated pop albums of 07, are back with a new single. Check it out right here
  • Voxtrot loses a few members but still comes up with a pretty sweet new single, just in time for the world to descent upon their hometown for SXSW
  • Are you eagerly awaiting for something new from The Islands? (I know we are) Have this carry you over
  • "Lets wrestle" is a new band on tour with old BYT friends "Pains of Being Pure at heart". Aside from having an awesome name, "I won't Lie to you, the MP3 Brooklyn Vegan has on offer form them, is that perfect Brit poppy kick you needed on your Wednesday Morning.

I herd a rumor on the internets that grizzly bear is leakier than an old man's urethra.

I am just worried that by the time the album is out in May, no one will even care to get it anymore.
Which would be a huge shame.

Donora! Nice to know other people are still balls for those kids.

Yes, it is. Indeed it would. A very decent album it must be. The album to recommend to friends and relatives. I cannot wait for its release.

Holy smokes - Voxtrot really misses that kid on the guitar. I won't name drop but I had a long conversation with a semi-famous musician about them once as they had shared some bills and he went on and on about the guitarist really making that band and I wasn't fully convinced until now. It's fine but it's no "Voxtrot."
