Wohlerzogen by Tonfabrik Whatever sound you have in your head about music from Austria, it is probably not this sound. This pop rock band sounds a lot like bands touring up and down the East coast of the US, only cleaner. More organized. And singing in German. Our favorite song: Wilst du Was Werden. (Reviewed […]
Meat Head / Beehive by Gaffa Tape SandyRoll up your sleeves alongside a smart, young pop group that really wants to talk about gender and equality, in the most intellectual and also in the danciest terms. Our favorite song: Meat Head. (Reviewed on our #20 podcast, hills hoists.)
Skeleton Run (Digital Album) by The Pretty LittlesThe Pretty Littles are the best thing to come out of Australia since Hills Hoists. Our love for this band knows no bounds. One to watch. Our favorite song: Hills Hoists (and Sober). (Reviewed on our #20 podcast, hills hoists.)
Let’s talk about feelings! We discuss ways in which artists are crazy, and then explore Cinnamon’s catalog of very young obscure rockers, and then we listen to doom rock for a long time. Eventually we figure out what grad students are for, and discuss the national feeling of bobsledding. David Lee Macrae of Aesoterra reveals […]
What a bag of dix looks like. Cinnamon’s list of lucky things. Theremin, as imported from Waconda. John exposes both anarchists and satanists as being “kind people.” Julie Shuchard of Tricycle Records offers a bunch of good advice that you should probably write down and hang on the fridge. We also have excellent music: Her […]
For our 20th episode we import Berliners Jim Kennedy and Bettina Morgenstern Kennedy to define ageism, hipness, upskirting, a bunch of German words, ethical giving, Picasso, David Lee Roth, and Hills Hoists. Pelvic Thrust has a reunion concert. Thomas Eugene and Meg An of Kitty Tsunami talk about their musical evolution from Infinite Boner to […]
Big, huge, massive sounds, made more enormous by their adherence to perfect rhythm. The best double drum kit sound ever. Get your metal on! Our favorite song: Sleep Lump(reviewed on our #19 podcast, Honest Expulsions)
Full Length Album by The Flora WaysUncomplicated, joyful, well-written, badly-produced songs that make you want to jump around. We can’t wait to hear more from this band. Our favorite song: Fruit Punch (and Cowboy’s Getting Laid Tonight. And the one about Memory) (reviewed on our #19 podcast, Honest Expulsions)
DEAF DOGS by Bundles Great songs with insane amounts of energy. Bundles has got to be the most underrated band in the world. We love that thing you do! Go! Go! Our favorite song:The State of Seattle (reviewed on our #19 podcast, Honest Expulsions)
