None the less, I just had to post about this band, The Mae Shi. Their new album "HLLLYH" is making the enormous-work-load-ass-beating somewhat tolerable. It's spazzy and fun and totally different and totally worth your attention. I wish I had more time to do this album justice, but apparently it's ass-kickin' time.

They're just really nice, and would rather it make it's way into the hands of fans rather than never see the light of day <a href="http://media.www.redandblack.com/media/storage/paper871/news/2008/04/04/Variety/Local.Singer.To.redefine.In.Europe-3303131.shtml">just because all of their band fund was taken & spent on a plane ticket to Turkey</a>. I highly suggest you head over and download it, and if free albums aren't your thing then there's a Paypal link on their site as well where you can send them some money for it. See? They're nice, so you could be nice back. It's all copasetic.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.russianspycamera.com/">Russian Spy Camera - website</a> | <a href="http://www.myspace.com/russianspycamera">Myspace</a>indietoddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15853271356659879038noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004400078895590215.post-91990741271302395332008-04-23T07:15:00.000-07:002008-04-23T07:16:59.629-07:00VIDEO: Grizzly Bear "While You Wait For The Others (live on Conan)"<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="390" height="320" id="Redlasso"><param name="movie" value="http://media.redlasso.com/xdrive/WEB/vidplayer_1b/redlasso_player_b1b_deploy.swf" /><param name="flashvars" value="embedId=59ce9bcc-3482-4689-a6ef-adc2560f781a" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed src="http://media.redlasso.com/xdrive/WEB/vidplayer_1b/redlasso_player_b1b_deploy.swf" flashvars="embedId=59ce9bcc-3482-4689-a6ef-adc2560f781a" width="390" height="320" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" name="Redlasso"></embed></object>indietoddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15853271356659879038noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004400078895590215.post-35232012814522615112008-04-22T16:20:00.000-07:002008-04-23T06:42:38.869-07:00NEW "SONGS": Jupiter Watts<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdHZGL8q-d-9M9GCJQXWp35OFoASvRQmbtFwl-WPUW78vbU6TNzFMbKdhCPUrk6aiYhf9B1o5XdFjh5SjwdVUlFVB5DU4xUX3RtXf0PnQVtufG2FJFPPLoJtgrYUTRHmG6bwgnmNbGUYQ/s1600-h/jupiter_watts.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdHZGL8q-d-9M9GCJQXWp35OFoASvRQmbtFwl-WPUW78vbU6TNzFMbKdhCPUrk6aiYhf9B1o5XdFjh5SjwdVUlFVB5DU4xUX3RtXf0PnQVtufG2FJFPPLoJtgrYUTRHmG6bwgnmNbGUYQ/s400/jupiter_watts.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192213808071015474" border="0" /></a>I went to see Jupiter Watts last Saturday after an entire day of free music (Record Store Day, 420Fest, etc.), and I must say that it was SO worth fighting off shear exhaustion to finally catch these guys live. I'm a huge fan of their music, but for some reason or another I hadn't been able to catch a show. They played some new material (that I've been told is still in it's primordial infancy), which sounded great & really different than their older material. You can check out said new material on their blog, <a href="http://jupiterwatts.blogspot.com/">here</a>.<br /><br />And, just in case you're not schooled in the music of Jupiter Watts, there are a couple of MP3s below.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">[MP3]</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Jupiter Watts</span> - <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/4pof4j008o">Felix</a> from "<span style="font-style: italic;">Jupiter Watts</span>" (via Box.net)<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">[MP3]</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Jupiter Watts</span> - <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/b5tv0rig44">Travel Without a Sound</a> from "<span style="font-style: italic;">Jupiter Watts</span>" (via Box.net)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thejupiterwatts.com/">Jupiter Watts - website</a> | <a href="http://www.myspace.com/jupiterwatts">Myspace</a>indietoddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15853271356659879038noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004400078895590215.post-19102553859796165492008-04-22T15:35:00.000-07:002008-04-22T16:35:07.349-07:00GREAT NEW MUSIC: Citified "The Meeting After the Meeting"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7GNb1HZ7NCM_LHrNU5ZKvXqpB7RYdcw8t-p-RIUlRfDirk8UqjK1pFlfo10QjWxYpMEhUNbSal8WopwhZRcOjXa-gMf2Ttx9TQ16dvYEbhiRSVPBoZkpoPhAiuEjHjqkJV1-p8U_kD7g/s1600-h/citified.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7GNb1HZ7NCM_LHrNU5ZKvXqpB7RYdcw8t-p-RIUlRfDirk8UqjK1pFlfo10QjWxYpMEhUNbSal8WopwhZRcOjXa-gMf2Ttx9TQ16dvYEbhiRSVPBoZkpoPhAiuEjHjqkJV1-p8U_kD7g/s400/citified.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192202473652321314" border="0" /></a>After talking to Ramon from Jupiter Watts after their show about this band, I realized that I hadn't posted about them since I received their EP, "<span style="font-style: italic;">The Meeting After the Meeting</span>", nearly four months ago...better late than never, right? The delay was certainly not due to any lack of interest in this album. Hell, it's one of the better albums I've been sent so far this year. Not sure what happened, but I'm damn sure gonna tout about now. Dreamy indie-pop/rock that's a little too driving to be shoe-horned into shoe-gaze, but yet it seems to drip enough shoe-gazy reverb & decay to see that MBV and The Cure are definitely amongst their music collection. There is absolutely no filler in this concise & haunting seven song EP, every song as repeatable as the previous one. Needless to say is highly recommended.<br /><br />"<span style="font-style: italic;">The Meeting After the Meeting</span>" is out now via the great <a href="http://www.eskimokissrecords.com/citified.html">Eskimo Kiss Records</a>.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">[MP3]</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Citified</span> - <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/0ttrlpmw4k">Weddings</a> from "<span style="font-style: italic;">The Meeting After the Meeting</span>" (via Box.net)<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">[MP3]</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Citified</span> - <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/ylqjijjswk">Mascot</a> from "<span style="font-style: italic;">The Meeting After the Meeting</span>" (via Box.net)<br /><a href="http://www.eskimokissrecords.com/citified.html"><br /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"><br />:::</span>Citified | TOUR DATES<span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">:::</span></span><br />4/25 - The Good Cherry - w/The Late Virginia Summers - Lynchburg, VA<br />4/26 - Richmond - TBA - Richmond, VA<br />4/27 - The Galaxy Hut - w/Whiz Bang Three - Arlington, VA<br />5/23 - The Flat Iron w/Hammer No More The Fingers, Jupiter Watts - Greensboro, NC<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">5/30 - The Star Bar w/The Preakness - Atlanta, GA</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.eskimokissrecords.com/citified.html">Citified - label website</a> | <a href="http://www.myspace.com/citified">Myspace</a>indietoddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15853271356659879038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004400078895590215.post-33089913686003648922008-04-22T15:29:00.000-07:002008-04-22T15:30:35.525-07:00VIDEO: Constantines "Hard Feelings"<object width="400" height="334"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2z206HCFz1c&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2z206HCFz1c&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="400" height="334"></embed></object>indietoddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15853271356659879038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004400078895590215.post-86381666536979056462008-04-21T15:41:00.000-07:002008-04-21T15:54:29.103-07:00ATLANTA/ATHENS SHOWS (04/21 - 04/27)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8qVwpFBrONepSRzCfUh0PNcKCi1hvzvYU9ZubBguChx5X67ggSy7vUwwUDHsXBEHJk12_pixpjX131GMc84hIsHFjo78qpx9Brei5KxDf3dBm03ZO6y0f3CXr7WdiiU-o5jg_QT68Bx4/s1600-h/weeks_shows_02.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

This album is SO much more than I was expecting, it bounces between eerie psyche-rock, raw-as-should-be garage rock, and pounding surf-rock. It almost sounds like the soundtrack to some fabulously-bad-which-is-good 60's cult film about fast women, psychedelics, death, and surfing which culminates in an over-the-top beach dance party.

Going from dancy-pop to gorgeously subdued numbers that are as fragile as they are confident. If the full-length is in ANY WAY as alluring as this four-song EP promises then I think it might just see some serious iPod action. No US release date yet for her full-length, "Youth Novels", but the EP comes out May 6th. It is highly recommended.<br /><br />Lykke Li will be touring North America for the first time this spring on a double headlining bill with ICTH fave El Perro Del Mar and special guest Anna Ternheim.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">:::</span>Lykke Li | TOUR DATES<span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">:::</span></span><br />05.06.08 - Philadelphia, PA - Johnny Brenda's<br />05.07.08 - New York, NY - Joe’s Pub<br />05.08.08 - New York, NY - Bowery Ballroom<br />05.09.08 - Boston, MA - Middle East<br />05.10.08 - Montreal, QUE - Lambi<br />05.11.08 - Toronto, ON - Mod Club<br />05.12.08 - Chicago, IL - Shuba’s<br />05.14.08 - Vancouver, BC - Red Room<br />05.15.08 - Seattle, WA - Triple Door<br />05.16.08 - Portland, OR - Doug Fir<br />05.18.08 - San Francisco, CA - Bimbo’s<br />05.19.08 - Los Angeles, CA - El Rey Theatre<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">[MP3]</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Lykke Li</span> - <a href="http://www.controlgroupco.com/downloads/Lykke_li-dance_dance_dance.mp3">Dance Dance Dance</a> from "<span style="font-style: italic;">Little Bit EP</span>"<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">[VIDEO]</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Lykke Li</span> - "Little Bit"<br /><object height="334" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mUC0ezAlHwE&hl=en"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mUC0ezAlHwE&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="334" width="400"></embed></object><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">[VIDEO]</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Lykke Li</span> - "I'm Good, I'm Gone"<br /><object height="334" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ngd45o-M_M4&hl=en"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ngd45o-M_M4&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="334" width="400"></embed></object><br /><br /><a href="http://www.lykkeli.com/">Lykke Li - website</a> | <a href="http://www.myspace.com/lykkeli">Myspace</a>indietoddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15853271356659879038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004400078895590215.post-8018259342877437002008-04-17T13:12:00.000-07:002008-04-17T13:14:37.090-07:00VIDEO: The Buddy System "Clap Paws"Thanks to <a href="http://cableandtweed.blogspot.com/">Cable and Tweed</a> for this.<br /><br /><object height="334" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iyqCo5_pWYc&hl=en"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iyqCo5_pWYc&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="334" width="400"></embed></object><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">:::</span>The Buddy System | TOUR DATES<span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">:::</span></span><br />4/26 - 40 Watt Club, Athens, GA (<span style="font-style: italic;">w/ Je Suis France</span>)<br />5/08 - Gainesville Popfest, Gainseville, FL<br />5/09 - Club 210, Lakeland, FL<br />5/10 - The Crowbar, Ybor City, FL<br />5/31 - Flicker Bar, Athens, GA (<span style="font-style: italic;">w/ Spring Tigers</span>)<br />6/28 - 40 Watt Club, Athens, GA (<span style="font-style: italic;">w/ Maserati</span>)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.kindercore.com/bands/view/the-buddy-system">The Buddy System - label site</a> | <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thebuddysystemath">Myspace</a>indietoddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15853271356659879038noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004400078895590215.post-55016272909334329022008-04-16T15:44:00.000-07:002008-04-17T12:05:57.192-07:00FISHBOY: Tour dates<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyX8IkfztYYNPDXK-tDXAqvyodbVvbK9lqBjoJ8FfgnYAYAWaO3wx2aGExwjOf6VvqtsJNk7yXFp_FyOALV9Dz3jsCmHHImY3yGEi5dAEpdFXOcCnvCvnpgSQHakz5WHmtpeK2VTGw5xU/s1600-h/fishboy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyX8IkfztYYNPDXK-tDXAqvyodbVvbK9lqBjoJ8FfgnYAYAWaO3wx2aGExwjOf6VvqtsJNk7yXFp_FyOALV9Dz3jsCmHHImY3yGEi5dAEpdFXOcCnvCvnpgSQHakz5WHmtpeK2VTGw5xU/s400/fishboy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189978844741566194" border="0" /></a>Fishboy, one of my favorite bands on the supa-fine <a href="http://www.hhbtm.com/">HHBTM</a> roster, is about to embark on an east coast tour starting next week.

In addition to the musical entertainment, several Atlanta-based record labels (Die Slaughterhaus, Douchemaster Records, International Hits, New Street Records, Rob's House Records, and Stickfigure Distribution) will set up booths to sell their wares, offer advice, compare tattoos, and swap recipes.<br /><br />Record Store Day at <a href="http://www.criminal.com/">Criminal Records</a> is a free and all-ages event. The store will be open from 10AM until 10PM on Saturday, April 19. <a href="http://www.criminal.com/">Criminal Records</a> has been a mainstay in the Atlanta community for almost 17 years (it's definitely my favorite record shop!). The independently and locally-owned business is located at 466 Moreland Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30307, in Little 5 Points.
