catchy bass ... you like bass, right?

Girl In Port lyrics, vid

I had this song in my head for a few days but couldn't remember whose it was. I came across the lyrics, and noticed that mp3 info has a place for them: lyrics.

When Under Eather - PJ Harvey

Mountain Goats - Wild Sage

From Tuesday's show at the Hi-Dive

*** Bowerbirds * The Ticonderoga ***

The Bowerbirds/Mountain Goats show sold out last night at the Hi-Dive. Haven't seen that before. Both bands put on a good show despite the talkative crowd. Probably post a Mountain Goats video later.



thanks 1190/Dan for the free tix!

Don & Sherri - Matthew Dear



Hadn't heard this song since the concert a few weeks back till it came up on my iPod today while driving. A good fit for a night drive to the club grocery store.

Menomena - Cough Coughing

From Sunday's show at the Fox



thanks 1190 for the tix!

The Flying Club Cup - Beirut

Had to go with a song from Zach Condon's latest album sooner or later, right? A Sunday Smile and Nantes are arguably better songs, but I've been hearing them a lot and decided to go with one that still feels fresh.

I don't think The Flying Club Cup carries the weight or novelty of last years Gulag Orkestar, but its still very worthwhile.

More Beirut buzz from MTV -

another caribou video - sundialing

Another show with two talented drummers. Along with the drums, Daniel Snaith, Ph.D., did vocals, played the guitar and a handful of other instruments. Bandmates - Ryan Smith, Brad Weber & Andy Lloydto - rounded out a solid show.

Caribou drums clip

we had a great spot at a great show. Here is some drumming to prove it:

I might post another Caribou song later.

To Fix the Gash In Your Head - A Place to Bury Strangers



how can you enjoy a line like I'll just wait till you turn around and kick your face in? Couple it with rough industrial beats and vocals that echo like the jesus & mary chain.

What's the deal w/ horses?

2007's indie scene seems eerily equestrian:

Are We Not Horses?, Rock Plaza Central
Besnard Lakes Are the Dark Horse, The Besnard Lakes
Hymns for a Dark Horse, Bowerbirds

I am an excellent steel horse, and true, I've got disaster on my mind. The Bowerbirds' Hymns hasn't settled in quite as well. It sounds pretty good. For sure, Hymns are nice songs. They aren't annoying, like real hymns, and the nap they induce is peaceful. I imagine they'll be a good opener, as well, for the Mtn Goats.

Gone But Not.

forgotten. I've missed the brotha'z music blog desperately. I'll be back soon. Promise.
