Born Ruffians - Red, Yellow & Blue 2008-10-28 14:27:20 Possibly my favorite indie pop album of the year so far comes from a hyper trio out of Ontario, Canada. Born Ruffians remind me of what I was like in high school: when others were around, high strung and bouncing off the walls, but in moments of quiet, reflective and complicated. Their 2008 sophomore album [...] Read more:Yellow
Throw Me The Statue - Moonbeams 2008-10-22 16:30:52 Indie pop band Throw
Me The Statue
has won over the hearts of indie fans everywhere with their quirky instrumentation and catchy sound. Their album Moonbeams came out this February and is really solid from start to finish. One of my favorite tracks is “Lolita” because even after several hours of not thinking about it, [...]
Modest Mouse Covers 2008-10-21 16:04:06 Just so you know, I’m a BIG fan of covers done the right way. In this humble bloggers opinion, a straight up note for note cover adds nothing to a song, it’s simply a recreation of the original and if someone wanted to hear the original they could listen to it instead. A GOOD cover [...] Read more:Covers

Truckasauras - Tea Parties, Guns and Valor 2008-10-21 13:50:59 These guys have been on and off my radar for a while. Truckasauras’s debut album, Tea Parties, Guns and Valor
, came out this May and I really liked a few of the tracks, but hadn’t really taken the time to listen to it all the way through until today. The whole thing is this throwback [...]
Who Gives A F**k About Oxford? 2008-10-20 13:11:47 Well apparently someone gives a f**k about Oxford
, because without breaking a sweat I found tons of songs with the “Oxford Connection.”
Here are some of my favorites:
Loons - A Delaware in Oxford
The French band Loons are an interesting listen. Besides this track, I really like their song “It May Never Happen” off a compilation of [...]

Now, Now Every Children - Available Tomorrow 2008-11-10 23:21:29 A really young band (both and age and to the indie scene), is the group Now, Now Every Children
. Their debut album Cars will be available tomorrow on iTunes and in stores everywhere Dec 9th. This one to watch to not only make it to the mainstream, but go right to the top. They’ve got [...]
The Swedish Invasion Of Indie Pop 2008-11-06 01:08:06 Okay, at this point it is clear that the Swedes are putting something in their water that the rest of the world just isn’t getting, because there seems to have been an almost constant flow of wonderful indie pop and twee artists from this country over the last several years. Some of the bands that [...] Read more:Indie

The Old Believers 2008-11-03 20:44:35 Over the last year I have not come over a more aptly named band than The Old Believers
. I looked up their name on Wikipedia to see if there was any meaning other than the obvious and I came across this:
“In the context of Russian Orthodox church history, the Old Believers became separated from the [...]
New Bon Iver Tracks, No New Album… 2008-10-30 08:50:34 Last year indie sensation Bon Iver released their debut album For Emma, Forever Ago and took the blogosphere by storm with the track “Skinny Love.” I myself listened to it probably 100 times in the first month… face it, it’s a great song. I say “last year indie sensation” because the album was self-released in [...] Read more:Album

The Octopus Project - Why Didn’t Anyone Tell Me? 2008-12-04 10:50:49 I’ll be honest and admit I’m really late on getting into The Octopus Project
. The first OP track I heard wasn’t until January of last year, and it wasn’t even off their newest album. The track that popped my OP cherry was ‘Pif’ off the unreleased 1999 EP Christmas on Mars. Needless to say I [...] Read more:Anyone
Friday Fixation - 11.28.08 (LATE) 2008-12-04 00:35:04 Yeah yeah, I know I slacked off over the break. Some of the e-mails I received in my absence were quite inspiring and I’m glad to be back writing again. Thanks for the feedback everyone!

A Sun Also Rises For A-Sides 2008-11-25 00:10:05 Okay. This is a really strange post because it’s both happy and sad for me. I meant it to be about the A-Sides
and their September 2007 album Silver Storms. It’s a really cool indie pop album that I’ve been grooving on for a good long while and wanted to share with you today (despite [...]
