Toys and Tiny Instruments, a shambling goodtime rock band from Brooklyn, NY, are exactly as they sound. They play their sets with toys and tiny instruments. There is a whole mess of them – like six or eight humans are onstage when the Toys play – but they pull it off since their instruments are […]

Boner Social Scene
My Left Tit are nine bored, horny friends in Queens who decided to start a band. What other reasons do you need, really? At the moment, they’re less an actual “band” than a wad of inside jokes and fake backstories. But they’re casually talented and gleefully vulgar, and beneath their smutty odes to dicks and queefs […]

the psych-doom cometh: Sabbath Assembly
I’ve only been listening to straight-up doom sounds. But hear me out. There’s a lot of gorgeousness in doom. Why else would we love the silent napalm opening of Apocalypse Now? This album, Sabbath Assembly’s Restored To One (June 2010) is doom melody of the finest order. It’s gorgeous Age Of Aquarius-style choir psychedelia, controlled and […]

who needs the sun when he goes away
I found myself in Boston once again. This time I had brought along a traveling companion, someone to act as a phởtographer and, perhaps, mitigate (or at least document) the various horrors that consistently befall me whenever I attempt to do anything with my life besides huddle in a darkened room under a pile of […]

Die Antwoord, or, what my brains are like lately (?)
Hey guys. I’m really busy trying to write a book, but now and again I get the chance to read Twitter, and when I do it’s often 50 Cent’s hilarious updates (why is he dating Chelsea Handler?). But today South African hip hoppers Die Antwoord tweeted their new video, and I have to say “Evil […]

The Trials of Peter Wolf Crier
On a stage crowded with Midlake’s psych-folk paraphernalia, Peter Pisano and Brian Moen sat perched on drum stools, bent over their respective instruments: for Brian, a small white drumkit, for Peter, a ratty sunburst acoustic and Roland PK-5 floor controller. Then they played, and they absolutely ruled.

Miss Marnie, or Her Majesty Shredding
Fall begins: sunstreaked schoolbuses, pumpkin beers fer sale, Obama in Martha’s Vineyard, crabby homeless, and, of course, some great upcoming releases. Put away your girlpants, and get ready to put on your girllong-johns.

Dreaming as the summer dies
Everyone knows how much Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin means to me (a little too much, maybe), so it´s a pleasure for me to find that their latest “Let It Sway” will be released on August 17th via Polyvinyl. In line with talking about travel, this record took the guys across the US to record with Chris Walla and to find several other ladies to write songs about.

Amazing cover (mid-90s edition)
K so lately I’ve been loving the song “Your Woman” by White Town. The songwriter, Jyoti Mishra, said of the tune: “I was trying to write a pop song that had more than one perspective. Although it’s written in the first person the character behind that viewpoint isn’t necessarily what the casual listener would expect.” The gender […]
