Dreaming In 505 by Girl YorkYou can like the 90s and still be a lot bigger than the 90s. Girl York has big melodies and big guitars and washes of sound, plus that oomph that comes from being alive right now. Our favorite song: Heroine. And Lost at Sea. (Featured on our #30 podcast, Harry […]
可笑的一天 by The White EyesNot only have I listened to it many times in Chinese, I can now hear her singing in my head. In Chinese. I guess that’s pretty good music. Interesting, too. Our favorite song: In Lust I Lost. (Featured on our #30 podcast, Harry Potter Horcrux Shit.)
Episode 30 – Harry Potter Horcrux Shit: Find out what the ultimate holiday gift for all the men in your life is! Also, John gets more new-agey than anyone thought possible, Cinnamon dismisses the possibility that music can sound like a decade, your hosts make a weak attempt to understand some Spanish, and no attempt […]
Dark Before the Light by Anti-Social ClubWell thought out, intricate melodies and emotional lyrics by a band unafraid of a little synth. These are some real songs. Our favorite: Six Feet Under. (Featured on our #29 podcast, How to Get the Fans to Sing.)
Sunburn by Tongues of FireThink about what you’re definitely not going to do, and then shout it along with Tongues of Fire in this cathartic singalong! `I won’t eat peas!’ `I won’t back down!’ `I won’t say no!’ `I won’t do laundry!’ – whatever ya got. Tongues of Fire is great. (Featured on our #29 […]
BASK by HSYIf only they hadn’t broken up. One of the best darkwave/sludge (John insists that they are ‘industrial’) bands that we’ve heard. Our favorite song: Sally. (Featured on our #29 podcast, How to Get the Fans to Sing.)
Here And There by Organ MugIn a lot of musical contexts, ‘ethereal’ might mean ‘good for going to sleep to’. But this artist takes beauty and makes it sort of strange and great. We love ‘A Somewhere Place’ and we can’t wait to hear the rest of the album. (Featured on our #29 podcast, How […]
Fondue by Appetizer CheesecakeWe adore this band. Especially that gravelly-voice singer. Most of this album is very art-rock, but our favorite is their cheesecaky single, ‘Bicycle.’ (Featured on our #29 podcast, How to Get the Fans to Sing.)
Episode 29 – How to Get the Fans to Sing. Why anonymity is the new fame, a cathartic call-and-response from Tongues of Fire, and John’s secret desire to be sung-back-to. Israeli rock and Swiss rock both have their Holy Crap debut. And, as always, all of our music is excellent: Anti-Social Club with Six Feet […]
