Recent Rotations
Here’s a quick list of what I have been listening to lately: The Foals – Holy Fire. This is one of my favorite records of the year so far. It did come out this year, right? Anyway, the April show at the Goat Farm (with Surfer Blood) should not be missed. Johnny Marr – The [...]

Some Things I Have Been Listening to Lately
I have listened to these records more than once lately – some old, some new. You might be interested (then again, maybe not). Toro Y Moi, Anything in Return – Not what some might expect of me but I really enjoy it. Have always felt that Chaz has been in a different category than the [...]

Best of 2012 (Olympic Edition)
Yeah, it’s a rare original content post. We stayed away for a while, and will probably return to hibernation immediately, sort of like that international sporting event. But while we’re awake, here are a couple of records we liked this year. Japandroids – Celebration Rock. Post-Nothing was a solid introduction for this band but they [...]

The carefully crafted gatefold cover houses two discs of green colored vinyl (in two shades no less). The artwork throughout is intentionally tongue in cheek (in that special British way) and evocative of the 60s [...]
Richard Parsons, May 9 at the Earl
He may be alone on stage, he may be joined by a band. That question is still unanswered (because one quarter of his usual stage partners will be busy getting married). But in either event, May 9th will mark Richard’s return to the stage at the EARL. He will share the bill with D.C.’s alt-folk [...]
Record Review: The Menzingers – On The Impossible Past
By Alex Brenner How many punk bands can say they are from Scranton, PA? Two A-Listers here can tell you not many. Although this band has been around since 2006, I really only heard their name while checking last year’s Gaslight Anthem album American Slang. Their last release 2010?s Chamberlain Waits was really a great [...]
