this song’s sweet and little—meant for early messy hair and sleepy eyes mornings or maybe the last notes you hear before sleep on a late summer evening (with the sound of crickets chirping as a background chorus.)

september’s here. where did the summer go?

i’m pretty much obsessed with this song. kinda backwards, i know, but after my ears were opened to the beautious atlas sound album (thank you, dear :k) i’ve been listening to deerhunter. the new album is called microcastle, due out on 10/28 on kranky records (home of this man, another current s! obsession….also due out with a new album this fall. yay!)

love, s.

summer fun = free outdoor music festivals where one can a. see good music b. see the ocean c. avoid getting burnt to a crisp and d. experience the strange strange alternate reality that is coney island. (click the photo fo’ details.)

speaking of summer fun: this song from the new human highway album. HH is a collaboration between jim guthrie and nick thorburn from islands. JG’s last solo effort is just a dream of an album—so sweet and forlorn and perfect, and islands…well, islands has some good moments for me on the whole. (what do i know, though?) anyway. this song is so darn catchy.

here hear it!

i’m not good with surprises. as soon as i get a hint of something good that might possibly be on the horizon, i turn into a quivering mess of iwanttoknowiwanttoknowineedtoknowrightnow. (and of course, when it comes to music, this happens often.) touch and go records has kindly (or unkindly) decided to feed us listeners previews of the new album by the much adored band known as the new year. it’s going to be so SO hard to wait for september, especially after hearing this clip. sigh.

love, s.

fantastique Dark Fantastic

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 12:23:49 -0400

I don’t get upset / mad when everyone I ask “.. do you know the Dark Fantastic?!” replies with “who / what?.. “. I just try to bridge the gap with 2 songs by the adored band.

One track would be “fall to my knees” [MP3 - take it] off of goodbye crooked scar.

The other would certainly be [holy fuck I love this song!] “In Love With You” from their s/t LP. I’m gonna make you have to hunt that fucker down because it is worth the effort.

hi. it’s been a while. i have lots of music related things in my head. one that sticks with me is this: i saw fleet foxes this week in an unbearably warm church basement. yes, the album has gotten itself its fair share of attention from certain places. however, i will say this: these boys really, REALLY, really can sing—the live show proves it. they’re a talented bunch, those foxes. the show was prolly the happiest i’ve ever been while drenched in sweat.

also very interesting: did you know fleet foxes features members of crystal skulls and former members of pedro the lion? news to me!

love, s.

and a song - a fantastic song: “Don’t Die In Me” (Nighttime In The Delta Mix by Bryce Panic) [MP3] - the song is by Mirah.

the only thing that pisses on me more than republikkans in charge of weighty decisions is that more people have no goddamn’d idea who the A Frames are. in a sperlunk through my cavity of vinyl archives this weekend, I dug up the debut issue of Ladies & Gentlemen “zine” / LP / 12” screened art piece. it had the following article about A Frames inside - and seeing as though the fucker was produced in a limited + numbered batch, I feel like a little sheltered bitch. knw’whtimean?

these are 3 large jpg files - get at ‘em [read 1 first top to bottom, move on to number 2 in the same manner.. the third file is just the top image from the 12” x 12” page]: 1 . 2 . 3

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 21:03:30 -0400

so, i’ve never been a huge fan of the walkmen. something about the new album (called you and me—due out august 19th) is seriously converting me, i have to say. maybe it’s the production, maybe it’s the lyrics…i don’t know what it is. right now, though, i’m going to say two things: a. it is worth a listen and b. i think it’s going to make my end of the year list. weird. but good.

love, s.

a philly song: perhaps. but most importantly, i forgot how amazing this album is (and actually/honestly, i think i had to grow into it.) his last album is not so bad, but both A and the aforementioned PREfection are highly recommended.

Fucking yes the new Faint album Fasciinatiion is out August Fifth on the bands own Blank.wav imprint - and jesusfuck is it another stunner. The Faint are already cemented as one of my favourite live acts - as catching them live last year in D.C. proved that they can tour on an album that was a President’s term old and still remain solid [although showcasing one new track “Forever Growing Centipedes”].

Todd Fink and his band of merrily dark gentlemen and brothers maintain a stranglehold on the electronique/synth_saw genre - that’s just fact. Immediate keepers of the ten total on Fasciinatiion are closer “Battle Hymn For Children” that follows in the bands album closers of the past [“Birth” from Wet From Birth, “Ballad of a Paralysed Citizen” from Danse Macabre] with a sense of pleasant moroseness setting it apart from the rest of the LP. A tale of teachers, Heaven and space exploration is delivered atop a myriad of breakbeats, pops and choralesque synths. A keeper - no doubt. The one track I don’t see myself tossing into the seas anytime soon is “Fulcrum & Lever” - the tale of a young boy of seventy pounds strapping planks of wood to his back in an attempt to craft a flying machine. Safe to say the dabble in homemade flying [whilst using the neighborhoods largest kid for take off power] doesn’t go so well, as the narrator ends up eating PB&J’s in a hopsital bed. The bonus is that the child picks up some new mental power that rounds out the tracks chorus of “strange phenomena”. Sung over a beat that is likely to make Lil’ Dwayne Carter blush - I can erect’ly predict current fans will be fucking ecstatic and those not in the know will be blatantly informed.
