On the road, fakely: John shows off his improvisational skills as we pretend to drive to SXSW. We also feature TWO songs from Wisconsin, math rock, a cowboy song from Northern Ireland, and we break down what your band’s Facebook goals should be.

Sorry, we’re cooler than you because we found this band before you did. Ha. (Featured on our #42 podcast)

Our first Costa Rican band brings you a great, great, great song to lie down on the floor to. Not that we’ve tried lying on the floor and listening to it. But if we had, we could attest that it is a nice experience. Set it to repeat and let it last an hour, like it should. (Featured on our #42 podcast)

Honestly, having a farty-sound on the song is not enough to make us like it. (Yes we like the farty sound, who wouldn’t. But it’s really good music too.) So much screeching, so much fuzz, so much enthusiasm, so much melody, so much farting. (Featured on our #42 podcast)

This song is indie-indie music. (Indie-indie is a term that we just made up. You’ll know it when you hear it.) And this song right here is the apotheosis of indie-indie music. We adore it. (Featured on our #42 podcast)

These two Japanese kids are embracing American culture so hard that they spend their whole lives touring around small clubs in the southeast. From what we’ve seen, their show is even better than their sound. Here’s the itunes link to Get it On. Check it out. (Featured on our #42 podcast)

We do a lot of work this week in figuring out the modern music economy, including offering an extremely helpful Star Wars metaphor, and John makes up a song about Audiotree, and we figure out what Sofar is, sort of. Also this week – really incredible bands from Japan, Australia and Costa Rica (and Nashville. And New York):

Yacht party with Duran Duran. We plan our local tv access show, as well as our upcoming fake trip to SXSW. John analyzes various Finnish dialects. We add unnecessary umlats to metal bands of our acquaintance, and Bad Banker grows increasingly nervous about our upcoming performance. And of course the music is excellent:

Song We Like: If He Don’t by Reese McHenry

Song We Like: If He Don’t by Reese McHenry


A ferocious hurricane of a woman who will appear in your living room and scream at you. She completely overwhelms (and sometimes trades out) the three men who back her up. We want to hear her music playing until we feel so bad that we feel better. (Featured on our #41 podcast, The Revolütion Will Be Puppetized)
