Rilo Kiley's music video for "Silver Lining"

Off the new album Under The Blacklight.

The Deadly Syndrome Tour, Unveil Video, Make Nice With Pitchfork

Dim Mak indie darlings The Deadly Syndrome are currently making their way across the country, en route to the Big Apple for 2007’s installment of CMJ. After releasing their full-length debut last month to a chorus of praise, and playing this past weekend’s LA Weekly Detour Festival with big guns like Bloc Party and Justice, there’s plenty of anticipation for their upcoming NY gigs (full list of dates below). But you don’t have to take our word for it. Just ask Spin.com, who named them an Artist of the Day last month, or NPR, who recently profiled the band in their All Songs Considered: Open Mic section. Or how about Live Daily, who brought the band into their studios for a set of acoustic performances currently streaming on Ticketmaster’s freshly-launched Facebook page? Or Daytrotter, who vouches for the Syndrome with a hilarious Bookery Session? Or Pitchfork, who gave the record a healthy 7.4 earlier today. And if all that isn’t enough, we’ll let the band win you over on their own with the video for the delightful “Eucalyptus.”


Amy Winehouse headlining 2007 mtvU Woodies!


From an MTV Press Release

New York, NY – October 11, 2007 – Building on a tradition that’s placed college students front and center for unforgettable live performances from Beck, Death Cab for Cutie, Gym Class Heroes, TV on the Radio, Saul Williams and many others, today mtvU, MTV’s 24-hour college network, confirmed that Amy Winehouse, The Academy Is… and Spank Rock are all set to perform at the 2007 “mtvU Woodie Awards.” The only awards to honor the music voted best by the college audience, the 2007 “mtvU Woodies” will take place November 8th at Roseland Ballroom in New York City and premiere simultaneously on mtvU and mtvU.com November 15th at 8pm ET. An encore performance will follow on MTV2 November 18th at 12:30am ET and MTV will also showcase highlights from show.

In February of this year, Amy Winehouse was named to mtvU’s “Freshmen Five,” a semi-annual list of emerging acts poised to ride college student support to mainstream notoriety, and a few months later she did just that – quickly becoming one of the biggest names in contemporary music. The acclaimed North London songstress will treat students to a rare U.S. performance at the “Woodies,” one of only two scheduled for the remainder of 2007. Also on hand to shake things up will be student favorites The Academy Is…, backed by mtvU since the release of their debut album, Almost Here. Since then the band has rocked mtvU’s “Campus Invasion Music Festival ’07,” “Spring Break” and registered some of the most highly streamed video premieres in the history of mtvU.com. In addition, The Academy Is… is currently headlining a nearly 60 stop fall tour presented by mtvU and also featuring Armor For Sleep, The Rocket Summer and Sherwood. Philadelphia-bred hip hop group Spank Rock are getting noticed with their breakout first single "Rick Ruben," off of their experimental debut album YoYoYoYoYo, and with strong student demand, have found themselves in heavy rotation on mtvU. The group’s new release Bangers & Cash EP, released on Downtown Records, hit stores on October 9th.

Top nominees for the 2007 “mtvU Woodie Awards” include The Shins – with nominations in the “Woodie of the Year,” “Alumni Woodie,” and “Viral Woodie” categories – followed by Modest Mouse, Gym Class Heroes, Lily Allen, Justice, Linkin Park and The Academy Is…, with two nods each. Other prominent nominees include headliner Amy Winehouse, Arcade Fire, Lil’ Wayne, Bright Eyes, The Knife, Common, Klaxons, M.I.A., Spoon, CSS, The Rapture, TV on the Radio, Thom Yorke and Paramore. Nearly fifty emerging and influential artists are nominated for the fourth annual “mtvU Woodies.” Additional “Woodies” performers and presenters will be announced in the coming weeks.

Powered by college students from across the country, the fourth annual “mtvU Woodie Awards” will feature students in front of the camera and behind the scenes, as they present, introduce and honor their favorite music and artists. College students have helped establish the “mtvU Woodies” as a crystal ball for the music about to break big, helping their favorite artists “graduate” to MTV2, MTV and wider success – including record sales, sold out tours and accolades at other award shows. Some of the most notable success stories from the past few years include Fall Out Boy, the Killers, Death Cab for Cutie and the Plain White T’s, all of which saw their careers skyrocket after the “Woodies.”

For more on “Woodie”-related programming, ways to win a trip to this year’s show, exclusive interviews with nominated artists and music videos from all of this year’s nominees, please visit mtvU.com. A full line-up of performers, presenters and more will be announced in the coming weeks.

The fourth-annual “mtvU Woodie Awards” is sponsored by Citi, Ford College Student Purchase Program, Garnier Fructis and T-Mobile.

How would you rate the new Radiohead album?

After 24 hours: Radiohead "In Rainbows" Album Reviews Are In


HipHopMusic.com
"The 80,000 references to In Rainbows being "lush" and "sparse" were correct. People who like Radiohead with guitars and melodies should be very happy today, people who like weird bleeps and bloops maybe a bit less happy. If OK Computer is your favorite album In Rainbows might be your second favorite."

Rollingstone
"On 2003's Hail to the Thief, Yorke's vocals were all punk rage, but here his voice has an R&B lilt that suits the songs' romantic directness. The end of "Videotape" is the only time the band dips back into dated glitch-blip electronics. Otherwise, the music is full of vividly collaborative sonic touches, from the Gary Numan synth-nightmare drones of "All I Need" and "House of Cards" to drummer Phil Selway's surprisingly deft way with his brushes and woodblocks. No wasted moments, no weak tracks: just primo Radiohead. Hell, I'm going back and tipping them another quarter just for the finger-cymbal solo on "Reckoner.""

Courant

"“In Rainbows,” the band's seventh studio album and first since 2003's “Hail to the Thief,” is dense and thorny, complex and beautiful. The songs are a skillful mix of instruments and electronic sounds, incorporating elements of all the things Radiohead has done before without sounding exactly like any of them."

Lunapark6
"
Each song is worth listening to in its entirety. The album has a pretty decent flow to it. All the trademark Radiohead things are there: the synths, electronic beats, piano, weird lyrics, catchy melodies, Thom Yorke’s warbly self and so on. It’s subtle at times, it “rocks” at times, it envokes emotion. The thing is that’s the thing; it’s everything one would expect from a Radiohead album. There are no alarms and no surprises. It’s fitter, happier, more comfortable. Everything is in its right place…A good album that I’ll continue to try and fall in love with like the hopeless Radiohead fan in denial that I am."

Telegraph
"In Rainbows doesn’t really put a foot wrong from then on in. The band can’t resist a dash of dissonance and random distortion here and there, but then again they wouldn’t still be Radiohead if they had edited that out of the mix; and for every nod to weirdness for its own sake there is a string arrangement that is more up George Martin’s street than Messaien’s"

Stereogum
"
After a day of spins, we can say this is the record we wanted them to make -- or at least, it's the middle-of-the-record we wanted them to make; everything from "Nude" through "Reckoner" is warm, organic, and instant classic. Less paranoid -- or focused on paranoia -- than recent past. Yeah, most of the album's been making setlists for a long while"



Beirut "The Flying Club Cup" Album Reviews


PopMatters
"Gulag Orkestar was something of an indie sensation, and there’s no reason The Flying Club Cup won’t get a similarly warm reception—the music’s virtually the same. I hope that this success doesn’t let Condon avoid pushing himself on his next release. He may be a one-trick pony now, but he’s got the potential to grow into a very compelling circus." 5 out of 10

TinyMixTapes
"The Flying Club Cup is a good album. If you’re a fan of Gulag Orkestar, it’s probably a great album. But aside from “Cliquot,” it’s more of the same. What the album lacks in progression, it makes up in flair. And while that’s appealing for now, one can only hope that the elusive step forward is discovered before the third LP drops. What makes Condon’s repeated treading over of the same ground less stellar than someone like Jens Lekman’s (another artist content to hold steady) is that Beirut’s music shows no knack for experimentation; each Beirut song sounds more or less the same as the one that came before. While Lekman brings fresh tones and ideas to Night Falls Over Kortedala, Condon adds strings on Flying Club Cup. Like I said, it’s enough for now, but not enough to stop that feeling of indifference from washing over. As it stands, The Flying Club Cup is a really swell sounding re-recording of Gulag Orkestar, except with entirely new songs. And yet, when listening from a distance, they’re really not all that new anyway."

Courant
"It's pop music, in the sense that it's not really anything else, but Beirut's new album poses no threat to the Top-40 crowd. Mastermind Zach Condon is crafting songs more suited to the score of some long-lost '50s European art film, heavy with allegory and saturated with once-bright colors faded to sepia."

Music Vs Music
"One of the top 5 albums this year"

Bobaflex In Stores 10/30


Bobaflex break out of small town West Virginia to unleash a gritty autobiographical album that will course blood and adrenaline through the veins of all who listen to it, especially the kids who hail from dirt towns.

On October 30th Bobaflex will release their sophomore album, Tales From Dirt Town, on TVT records. Musically, Bobaflex decided to take things back to their roots on the new album. The band wanted to keep their metal edge and imbue it with more harmonies, melody, and singing, along the lines of Gun N’ Roses. Tales From Dirt Town is like a bittersweet love letter to working class culture and blue collar yet redneck upbringing. With determination and resolve, only good things can come to Bobaflex, who shine a spotlight on the people of dirt towns with Tales From Dirt Town.

If you buy anything this week buy Beirut

First of all I am shocked that I have not posted more Beirut posts in this blog. They are one of my favorites bands and Beirut's new release "The Flying Club Cup" is by far, hands down, the best CD in 2007.

If you have not heard of Beirut check out this live performance (via LaBlogotheque Blog)

Oh really...I seem to remember some pretty elaborate borderline costumes in old school hip hop.

"From the Screen to Your Stereo II" Album Reviews


If you are wondering whether or not to buy this album..check out these reviews

"From the "Screen to Your Stereo II" is a great follow up to the band's 2006 release "Coming Home," and just goes to show why New Found Glory continues to be one of the strongest bands on the rock circuit for the past 10 years." Review

"I hold cover albums to a higher standard than albums with original material, but even if I didn't, New Found Glory's new album is sub-par. From the Screen to Your Stereo part II is simply a disappointment all around." Review

"Following the movie industry's method of using reusing old ideas, New Found Glory has recycled its own formula. However, unlike most sequels, this one is good, if not better than the original." Review

"If you have never heard of New Found Glory, get this album. There is no better way to fall in love with a band than to hear them re-invent some of your favorite songs in a way that is both respectful and energizing." Review

    Band Of Horses Album Reviews


    Band Of Horses "Cease to Begin" Album Reviews

    "There are few things to enjoy on the band's latest album, as Band of Horses cranks up the volume and fills out some of the airy spaces from its debut with fuller instrumentation. But in the switch from low to high fidelity, Band of Horses sacrifices a good deal of angst and quality in the band's quest to prove it is no band of one-trick ponies. Lazy listeners may accuse Band of Horses of treading through too similar ground, but pay close attention and the subtleties between the two albums come out of the woodwork. Where Everything was raw and desperate, Cease to Begin feels bland and nonchalant." Review 1

    "Band of Horses offers something refreshingly unlike boilerplate indie rock." Review 2

    "It's a complex album, not immediately digestible. It sounds sad but leaves one feeling happy. It's covered in the pangs of loneliness but casts a lantern on our interconnectedness." Review 3

    " "Cease to Begin” shows Band of Horses refining its gauzy sound and proving it can co-exist with its Kentucky cousins." Review 4

    "Even though it's 90 degrees out there still, Begin is the sound of autumn, of leaves crunching under your feet, of cozy sweaters, of chilly sunshine and the burnt-oranges, yellows and browns of fall." Review 5

    New Drowning Pool Video for "Enemy"

    After 10 years....Hot Rod Circuit is no more


    I am both sad and not sad that that Hot Rod Circuit has called it quits. I am sad because of all the great memories I have of HRC of being up front at a show and singing at the top of my lungs to "Irish Car Bomb"......But in a way it's a relief because this band died after the album "Sorry About Tomorrow". It was painful over the years to see the band I once loved put out album after album that sounded nothing like the band I fell in love with in 2000. May the band rest in peace

    New Album from "Say Hi"



    SAY HI
    The Wishes And The Glitch, Feb 2008


    Seattle's Eric Elbogen, aka Say Hi, is gearing up for the early '08 release of The Wishes And The Glitch, his forthcoming and much-anticipated new full-length on Euphobia records. While his dry sense of humor is never far, gone are the persistent musings about robots and vampires, replaced here instead by a complicated mapping of the post-twenty something psyche, of someone who fell out of love with everything he once held dear and who then musters as much gumption as he can to launch a fresh start. This is an album full of self-examination, and the first that finds him writing introspectively. He's just now back from touring Germany, and is going on a massive Fall US tour with the Velvet Teen and the A-Sides
