VIDEO: The Cure “A Forest” (Live at Bestival 2011)
I recently saw The Cure on their Reflections Tour and got yelled at for standing up in the balcony seating (sorry but when The Cure is on, my body’s not telling me to glue ass to seat). Sheesh. Anyway, I also realized how freaking loveable Robert Smith is. Is he not? The band just released [...] -
LISTEN: Chairlift “Met Before”
The new Chairlift album, Something, takes a different turn from their cutesy “I got bruises on my knee for you” debut… and it RULES. I’m still obsessed with this… and have you heard “Sidewalk Safari“? This is Chairlift 2.0, and we’re digging it. Something drops on January 24th, but meanwhile, you can listen to another [...] -
LISTEN: Tennis “Origins”
Cape Dory, the debut LP from married couple/nautically nectarous group Tennis dropped earlier this year with track after track of sweeter than fiction, sailing with no care in the world-type tunes. They announced a follow-up album — Young and Old — which was produced by Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney. Oh, and the album is [...] -
LISTEN: Koko and the Sweetmeats
A curious little album found its way into our inbox last week — Sacrifice, by a band named Koko and the Sweetmeats, which kind of sounds like the title of a Hayao Miyazaki film (or was that Kiki’s Delivery Service). Anyway, the band explains: “It’s a concept ‘double EP’ with the six songs on side [...] -
STREAM: M83 New Album “Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming”
I’ve been trying to avoid the Urban Outfitters website for months cause they keep sending me emails about sales and new fall items and whatnot and I want everything/can’t have it all. (Do you feel me?) But I just went there to listen to the new M83 album Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, which I’ve been [...] -
VIDEO: Portishead Live on Fallon
Watch Portishead on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon performing their latest single “Chase the Tear” from 2009 and a web exclusive of “Mysterons” from their ’94 debut Dummy. The band played two New York shows earlier this week, but if they have yet to hit your city, the remaining tour dates are below the clips. [...] -
LISTEN: Yuck “Soothe Me”
Remember when we announced Yuck’s deluxe edition release of their self-titled debut and introduced a new track called “Cousin Corona”? These guys are so good that one disc just simply isn’t enough. The double disc edition comes out on October 11th and we’ve got another previously unreleased track for you to hear. It’s called “Soothe [...] -
VIDEO: Yuck “Milkshake” Live in Room 205
Despite not having made it into the album, “Milkshake” stands as my favorite Yuck song. The UK band recently brought the track to Room 205, laying out all its sweet and melancholy moves with a little bit of distortion. To add to the nostalgic rush of the song, the clip was also shot in retro [...] -
LISTEN: Girls “Love Life”
Father, Son, Holy Ghost — the much awaited sophomore full-length from Girls — is out tomorrow in the US and today in Europe. “Love Life” didn’t make the album cut but it was featured as a bonus track on the European release. It’s a sunny melancholy number in which Chris Owens picks up the pieces [...] -
LISTEN: Wavves “Nodding Off” (Feat. Best Coast)
Well, no surprise here. The surf pop indie couple Nathan Williams (Wavves) and Bethany Cosentino (Best Coast) — Best Wavves? — have already toured together and recorded a Christmas duet. Plus, hasn’t there always been talk of collaboration between these two? Well, whatevs, here’s the result of Best Wavves bringing their cutesy lo-fi Californian surfy [...] -
LISTEN: BRAIDS “Peach Wedding”
We were mystified by the Canadian band BRAIDS when they shyly stepped on stage to open for Toro Y Moi but tapped into a vocal geyser that released a myriad of tones and melodies. It was like watching a choir of fairy tale creatures exchanging harmonious gifts. These guys are releasing a split 7″ with [...] -
LISTEN: Yuck “Cousin Corona” (Deluxe Edition Release)
On October 11th, UK’s 90s revivalists Yuck are releasing a deluxe edition of their self-titled debut. Why? Well, because they have a bunch of sweet tracks lying around that didn’t make it on the album, so… WHY THE HELL NOT, right? But if you must know, here is a letter to President Barack Obama explaining [...] -
VIDEO: St. Vincent “Cruel” Live on Letterman
A few days ago, we saw St. Vincent aka Annie Clark get buried alive in her new video for “Cruel.” She brought this very song to Letterman, looking elegant as she usually does. Damn, girl. The singer/songwriter is equal parts adorable and badass. Enjoy her performance below: Bookmark on DeliciousDigg this postRecommend on FacebookBuzz it [...] -
LISTEN: Surfer Blood “Miranda”
Surfer Blood has a new EP called Tarot Classics coming out late October, and “Miranda” is the first taste of it. It took me a while to get into these guys — not until I saw them live back in June — but I’m sold now. This shit is pretty catchy. Like, turn it up [...] -
LISTEN: Girls “Honey Bunny”
After hearing what was possibly the most heartbreaking song from Girls, the duo follow up with a sunny number called “Honey Bunny.” It’s got surfer swirls, racing drums, and a beachy vibe. But it ain’t a Girls song if it’s not a little self-deprecating as well. D’aww, Chris, I love your bony body and dirty [...] -
VIDEO: The Smiths Lost Documentary (1992)
A previously unreleased documentary about The Smiths that was made in 1992 just surfaced on the web, only 19 years later. The short was created in promotion of the band’s Best album, but they never ended up using it, so footage of these charming men wasn’t made publicly available until now. The documentary will still [...] -
LISTEN: Weekend “Hazel”
I got into San Francisco-based trio Weekend because lately they’ve been opening for some really good post-punk oldies, most notably Wire and The Wake (I just noticed the holy trinity of alliteration). But these guys have been holding down their own too with their highly acclaimed debut album Sports. Following their successful first effort is [...] -
LISTEN: Twin Sister “Gene Ciampi”
Turns out Twin Sister‘s new song “Gene Ciampi,” is NOT sung in a foreign language, as I had initially thought. This sounds like it would make really great thrifting music though (is that a thing?). It makes me want to go vintage shopping or something, I don’t know. Whatever Twin Sister makes you want to [...] -
STREAM: Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks New Album “Mirror Traffic”
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of talking to my idol, Stephen Malkmus, about his new album Mirror Traffic (NO, this is not fan fiction hour; I’m totally serious). At the end of that conversation he asked me what my music blog was called, so I told him “The Morning After Pills” and [...] -
VIDEO: The Kills “Future Starts Slow” Live on Fallon
It’s like, not even fair how cool The Kills are. I never get sick of them either, no matter how many nights I’ve spent staying up late watching YouTube clips of them and wishing I could be half as cool as Alison. The duo recently brought their A game to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon [...]
