5 Score Pachyderm Mixtape V1.0
18, Nov 2009
I’ve been waiting for November 18 for a long time. My wife and I are off to New Zealand for 10 days to jump off bridges, roll down hills in giant plastic balls, and learn a Maori dance or two. As a result this blog will sit idly by collecting dust, much like my Wii Fit [...]
STL Concert Announcement: The Magnetic Fields
17, Nov 2009
The Magnetic Fields will be touring North America starting in February in support of their upcoming album Realism (out 1/26 via Nonesuch). Against all odds St. Louis takes home a monster pot as Stephin Merritt and company will be playing The Pageant on March 6th (reserve tickets on sale this Friday). Realism was recorded without the use of any electrical instruments and [...]

New Video: Monsters of Folk – “Say Please”
17, Nov 2009
Monsters of Folk (Conor Oberst, Jim James, M. Ward, and Mike Mogis) released their new video for “Say Please”. It’s got cowboys, soldiers, and roller skates – I’d say that about covers it:

Concert Calendar: 11/16 – 11/22
16, Nov 2009
It’s another week of double booking with Japandroids (pictured above) and Elvis Perkins in Dearland both playing this Friday night at The Billiken Club and The Gargoyle respectively. Luckily for me I’m heading out of town this week so I don’t have to try to make that decision, but with AA Bondy opening at the Gargoyle I think I would have had to [...]

MP3: Yeasayer – “Ambling, Alp”
13, Nov 2009
I caught Yeasayer at the Rock The Garden Festival in Minneapolis this summer. It wasn’t the best venue to enjoy their self-described blend of “Middle Eastern-psych-pop-snap-gospel”, but they certainly impressed. You can add Yeasayer to the list of bands that are mixing worldly rhythms with indie-rock hooks (see Vampire Weekend) and are being met with waves [...]
New EP: Deer Tick – “More Fuel For The Fire”
12, Nov 2009
I will be honest in saying that I am a complete and total Deer Tick apologist. They blew me away at The Pageant this year when they opened for Jenny Lewis. On top of that they’re second full length Born On Flag Day is excellent from start to finish, one of those albums you can go back to [...]

Look no further, King Khan & BBQ Show will be hitting Off Broadway tonight (doors 7:30, show 8:00, tickets $12) in support of their new LP, Invisible Girl.

New Grizzly Bear Video: “Ready, Able”
12, Nov 2009
For some reason it has taken me a little longer than everyone else to get into Vekatimest, the new album from Grizzly Bear. I don’t really have a reason for this, sometimes an album doesn’t seem like anything special and then it just hits you like a ton of bricks. I went all-in on Vekatimest just [...]
