was pursuing the secretly canadian site and was mildly excited to learn that chicago’s soul brothers catfish haven have a new one comin out on 10.17 entitled devastator. their last one tell me is simply just a great collection of indie soul, and i really hate to use that term but thats the best i got right now.  here is first single, “set in stone.” riyl: early my morning jacket, faces, 50’s/60’s motown, rolling stones, lucero

set in stone

honestly i did think too much of dr dog for a while but something clicked in me with the release of we all belong. i think it was the weird combination of beatles, squeeze, the band and beach boys influences that was throwing me all off. not so much that those are strange influences, but the way they weave them into their sound is odd. they got a new one called fate coming out on july 22 and judging by my first 2-3 listens i would summise that this definitely my favorite dr dog record thus far. all those influences are definitely still alive and kicking but they’ve incorporated an even more an old timey vibe.

pre-order fate via park the van records.

i have been going back and listening to stuff that i havent for a while. one record that keeps popping up is catfish haven’s 06 release, tell me. its such a great little record and if you are fan of the above mentioned band you should definitely dig these dudes. i should have put this on my summer records of 08 thing, or at very least an honorable mention.

the other record(s) i have been really gettin back into is the beulah catalague. probably havent listened to them in a few years, and after hearing shit loads of “indie pop” bands come and go over the past 5 years since its really hard to deny that a lot of these bands, and i mean a lot, have absolutely aped their sound for better or worse.

top o’ the morning. you guys hear about that purported meg white sex tape? yeah, well if you go to egotastic you can check it out, or atleast a minute or two of it. its clearly not her, but for a minute i was mildly excited. i mean the body says maybe but the face says not so fast champ. i still watched the whole clip, you know just to make sure. in the end, it was just some chick with a big rack gettin nailed and a set of nuts i didnt need to see. oh well. i should mention that its definitely nsfw.

go bears!? ugh…

i still cant get over how awesomely hilarious sunday nights season opener of family guy was. i knew they were doing something star wars related but i didnt know that they were pretty much running through all of episode iv. very very cool.

lookin for something to do this fine evening in atlanta? well, the sea and cake are playing at the earl at 9ish, probably wont be more like 11 until they go on. then animal collective plays at the variety tomorrow evening. i am still vey much on the fence regarding my opinion of animal collective. although, the new one is supposed to be pretty good? anyone hear it yet?

the more i listen to iron and wine’s “boy with a coin” from the shepherds dog i become more convinced that its probably my favorite song of the year. for all 4 of you that have somehow not participated in the iron and wine frenzy, check it!

woman king from the woman king ep

the shepherds dog is out today and its definitely a contender for record of the year.

i like this kid, markland starkie, and his sleeping states. he states that he has a real issue with the whole singer-songwriter genre and finds it “cheesy beyond belief.” now, i am not to sure what he’s doing to change anyone’s perceptions of the dreaded singer-songwriter genre but it sounds good to me.

sleeping states’ there the open spaces was released last week on misra

if daytrotter isnt the best music site on the interwebs please point out which one is. i seriously dont think you will find one. they have a repeat performance by one of my recent favorites, catfish haven. if you havent checked them boys out yet now’s your chance to do so either here or there.

its been a long ass time since i have done something gbv related. mostly due to not having a huge quality selection to choose from, at least the avenues i travel, and well thats probably it. so today is the aborted gbv record, circa 1995, the power of suck. now from all accounts, the power of suck, was going to be a concept record about the mediocre rise to success that gbv garnered after bee thousand and going into alien lanes. its all folklore at this point but check the gbv database for further details.
