Sourpatch: "Things You Say" Video
I meant to post a while back because IT’S AWESOME and SOURPATCH ARE AWESOME, but I forgot! So I’m posting it now! Listen and listen again because this is pop for the NOW! I have no shortage of great things to say about this band and this song and their new record ‘Stagger And Fade’. It’s fun, creative, and infectious—like, plaque-infectious AND and and it’s...

Modern Charms "When We Get There"
Well, shit. It’s barely 10am on Monday and I’m pretty sure I’ve already heard the best thing I’ll hear all week. With all of the 90s indierock/shoegaze revivalist bands popping up in the past few years, San Francisco’s Modern Charms are a BIG standout for me. Why? Oh, maybe because they sound like some perfect marriage of Drop Nineteens/Swirlies and I can hardly...

I haven’t mentioned it much on here yet, but Hospitality’s debut Self-titled LP has been getting more plays than probably any other record I’ve heard so far this year. The band recently recorded a fantastic set for Epitonic’s Saki Sessions—including, among others, a fantastic version of “Sleepover” and older favorite “Monkey”—and you can download...

Twerps "Jam Song" Live Session!
Australia’s Twerps recently played one of my favorite songs—”Jam Song”—from one of my most favorite records of last year on PBS 106.7’s Drive Live show and after watching it five times I felt the need to put it here! If you have yet to have the wildly fortunate experience of seeing Twerps live then this is quite a nice treat! Such fantastic guitar lines all throughout...

10,000 Maniacs "Can't Ignore The Train"
I think maybe I’ll just listen to this over and over today. Perhaps you should, too. There is also a pretty fantastic cover by The Popguns that is also quite worth hearing!

A Monthly Mix: February 2012!
Hey! It’s monthly mix time again and this month’s is a good one! February is a cold and contemplative month—I think—which led to the inclusion of some pretty weepy gems from The Clientele, Cannanes + Steward, and Weekend, but I tried my best to keep it from turning into bummerfest 2012! With the help of some super good, newer jams from Eux Autres, Burning Hearts, Fear Of Men, The...
