Suicide Squeeze Records is proud of Geneva by Russian Circles. So proud, in fact, that they say here you can stream it here, when in fact, you can’t. I’m of course only having a little fun. I’m sure the problem will be resolved in no time. Until then, stream “Malko” here, at their Myspace page. [...]
Daniel Johnston iPhone App
One name that I never thought I would hear is association with an iPhone application is Daniel Johnston. Johnston has never owned a cell phone, doesn’t know what an iPhone is and doesn’t even have a phone in his Houston home. The application is a what the NY Times calls “…a kind of psycho-religious version [...]
Sunny Day Real Estate perform “Seven” on Fallon
Fred bags on me sometimes for posting too many videos but this one I just can’t resist. With their reunion tour and the re-release of Diary and LP2, Sunny Day Real Estate is making the late night talk show tour as well. Last night they performed my favorite song of theirs on Jimmy Fallon. “Seven” [...]

Stream Where The Wild Things Are Soundtrack
It’s becoming a pretty rare occurrence for me to find a movie that is worth forking out the dough to go to a movie theater to see when I can just wait a few months and catch it on cable or the video store. Even more rare is to find a movie that the wife [...]
Thom Yorke’s New Band
One thing is for sure, Thom Yorke keeps the music industry and fans on their heels. Everything that he does seems to be clouded in mystery, whether it be releasing or not releasing a new EP via a cryptic message contained in a new track or sneaking around LA rehearsing with a new band featuring [...]
Great bloggers make great music bloggers
Over at Marginal Revolution, a reader (who identifies himself as Adam Smith, no less) poses an interesting music question: Why are the typical lengths of albums across different music genres so different?
