The Felice Brothers // Hey Hey Revolver 2008-09-09 10:47:46 “The blue Burger King billboard signs remind me of her mother’s eyes”
Legend has it that lightning struck the theatre where The Felice Brothers
were recording “Hey HeyRevolver
“. At the beginning of the song you can hear the sound cut out briefly followed by heavy thunder. Seeing The Felice Brothers in person gave me the [...]
Whiskeytown // Nurse With The Pills 2008-09-08 14:59:19 “Nurse
With The Pills” is one of my favorite Ryan Adams songs. The track was recorded live at Los Angeles radio station KCRW in September 1997. It was officially released on the Whiskeytown album, Strangers Almanac Deluxe Edition.
“Medicine” and “Clearly Wasted” are from the Fucker Demos. The tracks were recorded in [...]
Cat Power // Wonderwall 2008-09-06 13:48:40 Oasis’ “Wonderwall” is one of the greatest songs of all-time. It was thought that the song was written about Noel Gallagher’s then girlfriend Meg Matthews. Noel refuted it by saying “The meaning of that song was taken away from me by the media who jumped on it. And how do you tell your Mrs. it’s [...] Read more:Cat Power
Deerhoof // Offend Maggie 2008-09-25 20:33:35 Satomi Matsuzaki Of Deerhoof
Last month I wrote about Deerhoof’s highly anticipated album Offend Maggie
. The talented trio from San Francisco’s new single “Offend Maggie” doesn’t disappoint.
Lead-singer Satomi Matsuzaki’s uses her unique voice to carry this pop-melodic track with a far east undertone. Deerhoof is an acquired taste; give the track a couple spins

Kieran Hebden AKA Four Tet 2008-10-15 15:54:08 I truly enjoy remixes. But they are rarely better than the originals. London-based DJ Four Tet managed to accomplish this feat on both the “Imitosis”and “Breathe Me” remixes. His combination of acoustic and electronic beats are fresh and unique. The key to his success is not smothering the originals with his beats. He has [...]
