Between Grizzly Bear's radio and TV appearences and new material from Department of Eagles, we're getting to hear a lot of Daniel Rossen this year. The latter band, in which Rossen pairs with Fred Nicolaus, is going to realease a full-length this fall on 4AD called In Ear Park, and, following the title track, "No One Does It Like You" is the second song to be debuted from the album. We had this one on Forkcast in an early, demo form [...]

Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke on “Intimacy,” the Surprise Breakup Album “10 People Knew About”You have to give Bloc Party this much: they can keep a secret. Just days after finishing a U.S. tour and releasing the apparently one-off single “Mercury,” the London post punks have trumped the Raconteurs and Radiohead by springing their new album Intimacy on the world with just three days’ notice. “There were lot of clandestine meetings in east London pubs,” laughs frontman Kele Okereke on the phone [...]

As I sort through some of this bulging inbox in a quest to find the next great MP3, I come to my keyboard with that terrible school feeling. This past weekend and last couple of weekdays I have been assisting some friends move from Louisville back to Lexington.. for that fateful time is upon us where there is exactly seven days left until the university begins crawling with the infestation of students once again. Oh no! It's the last week of [...]

If you’re going to remix an iconic, genre-defining (and genre-defying) artist like Johnny Cash, there are two mistakes you can make, in my estimation - 1)You can diminish the Cash attitude (let’s face it - the attitude was such an intrinsic part of his music it simply can’t be divorced from it without the music suffering for it) or 2)You can try to compete with Johnny’s commanding (and unmatched) vocal stylings. Neither sin is necessarily greater than the other, but most [...]

ARTIST: Gym Class Heroes feat. Estelle TITLE: "Guilty As Charged" WEB DEBUT: Aug. 20, 2008 ONE-LISTEN VERDICT: "Guilty As Charged" is apparently the only track on the Gym Class Heroes' upcoming album The Quilt, and after hearing this track, I'd love to hear more collaborations between the British singer and the upstate New York outfit. Unlike the album's other leaks, "Guilty" is a loose-limbed R & B jam with a go-go-inspired, piano-assisted and a crazy horn break right near the end; [...]

Guillemots are all about branding. Much like the red-hued video for "Get Over It," there's lots of red in the video for "Kriss Kross" (the album's called Red, bingo). The dark-to-light kriss-krossing track came packing a typewriter riff and general prime-time-criminal-drama vibe as a free download a ways back. In its video form, it comes packing super saturated effects, oversized shades, and Fyfe looking like a bit like Jamie Lidell.

American Idol watchers may remember the sob story proffered by the Teflon-coated warbler Kristy Lee Cook when she first auditioned, and how she had to sell her beloved horse in order to scrape up enough money to get in front of Paula, Randy, and Simon. So is this cover the culmination of her reunion journey with her horse? Is that actually an equine stand-in? Or was this art subbed in at the last minute after the powers that be decided [...]

Hi there! H.C. Earwicker is back again (again). Real-world dealings have kept me from posting anything in the last weeks, but today I can offer a very special item. It's a cassette tape from 1982, which I recently rediscovered in my "archive" of boxes and crates. The tape features recordings from the 2nd Weltmusik-Kongress in Vlotho/Germany from 1982. Labels like Ocora and Bärenreiter/

Deerhunter frontman/Atlas Sound mastermind Bradford Cox has responded to the fallout from the drama of last weekend. (For the backstory, click here.) In a lengthy entry posted on his blog early this morning, Cox takes the blame for accidentally leaving unreleased Deerhunter and Atlas Sound material in an unguarded folder, and apologizes for his apoplectic reaction to the leaking of that music. He stresses that the whole thing was not a publicity stunt, and that he intends to finish Logos, the [...]

by Bill Pearis While perusing the internet for my next 'Week in Indie' column (or whatever you call it) my jaw dropped, just a little, when I saw that bailterspace was playing Bowery Ballroom on Saturday (8/23). Missed that listing before. I can't say that I've followed the New Zealand band's long career all that closely lately (their last album was in 2004 which is the last time they played here I think), but their '90s records on Matador/ Flying Nun [...]
