Podcast 30 – Harry Potter Horcrux Shit
PodcastsEpisode 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 whatsoever to understand Chinese. And, as always, all of our music is excellent:
- Beach Hotel with Tu Revolucion
- Uppertiers with Idiot’s Move
- Make No Bones with Rosie
- Girl York with Heroine
- 白目樂隊 The White Eyes with In Lust I Lost
Album Review: Dark Before the Light by Anti-Social Club
Album ReviewsWell 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.)
Single Review: Sunburn by Tongues of Fire
Album ReviewsThink 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 podcast, How to Get the Fans to Sing.)
Album Review: Bask by HSY
Album ReviewsIf 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.)
Album Review: Here and There by Organ Mug
Album ReviewsIn 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 to Get the Fans to Sing.)
Album Review: Fondue by Appetizer Cheesecake
Album ReviewsWe 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.)
Podcast 29 – How to Get the Fans to Sing
PodcastsEpisode 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 Under
- Tongues of Fire with Sunburn
- HSY with Sally
- Organ Mug with A Somewhere Place
- Appetizer Cheesecake with Bicycle
Album Review: Rock Nacional with Come Madness First
Album ReviewsBig, heavy blues riffs mixed together with aching ballads. This sweet-voiced and angry girl can really write songs. Our favorite: I Let You Down. (Featured on our #28 podcast, Hampton Inn Hallway.)
Album Review: Headache Time by Beach Bugs
Album ReviewsCheerful harmonies and self-deprecating songs from Limoges, France. This band would be really fun to see live, and if you can’t manage that, they’re fun to listen to. Our favorite song: Loser. (Featured on our #28 podcast, Hampton Inn Hallway.)
