June 5, 2008 | 2 Comments

Shara Worden is the type of singer that is makes me stop in my tracks. Her voice and amazing range alone are enough to make her one of those singers I would be happy to hear sing the phone book. Lucky for me, she decides to sing way more interesting things than that, […]

June 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Last year, when I got wind of the solo project from Albert Hammond Jr., best known for his role in The Strokes, I was skeptical. What would stop this from being just another attempt to capitalize on the success of his band with his now familiar name attached to a solo record of experimental […]

I’m a sucker for fast moving British (or Scottish) Pop music, always have been to a certain extent actually. And if you read this site you know I am partial to bands like The Maccabees, Maximo Park, The Cribs or even Arctic Monkeys. And The Lodger fall right in the center of that […]

May 8, 2008 | Leave a Comment

There is something oddly addictive about the music of ((sounder)), something ever so familiar yet is nothing like you have ever heard before. It dips in and out of several genres and is the type of discovery I love to get my hands on. Especially since ((sounder)) was a discovery I made a […]

I think I have mentioned here in the past (maybe several times) that I usually am listening to music all day long. And also, that I prefer to get my morning started with something a little easier on the ears. Something soothing to my musical palette. Well, today I took a slight […]

Next up, a song from Vampire Weekend. This comes from another Record Store Day pick-up, and is the A-Punk 7″. The b-side is nothing fancy, but is probably something any die hard VW fan wants to hear. It is the “rehearsal version” of Oxford Comma, and you can down it below. […]
