anti-anti


jamie has never posted on our blog
but if he had yesterday
he would have written what he told me last night

anti-anti by snowden is one of those songs that his life
from what? you will have to ask him
but jamie smiling and excited is one of those moods we should all experience

download

anti-anti for free

i really like the song too
neither of us are so sure about the rest of the album

i tried to deny it or act like i didn't need to own it, but...


the new pornographer's twin cinema
a record i sold within a week of getting it
is pretty fuckin awesome

the songs are tight, catchy
lots of vocals and vocalists
and they have funny lines like "sing me spanish techco"
my favorite music neko case has helped write

thank god i stuck the album on jamie's iPOD before i sold it

MEWITHOUTYOU's Brother Sister OUT 9/26


i have never read aboout this band in a blog. no one likes them because they are on a christian label and are supposedly a christian band (i now have the new album, which is decidely god oriented, but they are amazing and this is the first album i have double taked). the only people i know who like them have seen them open up for another band or people who have a friend who has been obsessed with them since they first heard the song bullet to binary. i have no idea if this album is going to be as amazing as i think it's going to be (lord knows akron/family disappointed me), but sam swears the song C Minor is going to make And a Few to Break focus on getting big enough to play with MEWITHOUTYOU this year.

raccoo-oo-oon


lord
splice black eyes and animal collective
and you might have something that comes close to racc-oo-oon

i bought the cave of spirits yesterday and have already researched the little that is known about this band
read the few reviews, interviews
searched their homepage and record label
these young men from iowa city make music i wish everyone would love
but probably won't because they will be labeled "inaccessible" "challenging" "experimental"

however, if everyone would simply listen to them
they would undoubtedly find something awesome, expansive, free, and silly to describe using words
they pound, scream, play distorted sax solos, chant, loop everything
and they even have a sense of melody
missing in some of their contemporaries

after i finish writing this, what am i going to do next?
figure out how to get a hold of "Is Night People" the other album of theirs i might be able to track down

fog city and new releases


hello everyone
relatively conscious records has finally been a handed the first demo from fog city.
if you are unfamiliar with fog city, here is the back story.

one man moves to san francisco. searches for band. finds one. ends band. man gets lost in the fog of san francisco. ends up in japan. returns on the wings of the spirits of the the victims of hiroshima.

man halls an upright piano three flights, buys a nice room mic, and invites his friends to play guitar, percussion, sing, etc. over the most beautiful solo piano this side of max reichter, arvo part, radiohead, etc. completely inprovised, cut up, and sampled.

awesome.

new releases this coming tuesday

MEWITHOUTYOU

AKRON/FAMILY

two of our biggest influences

both should be amazing.

And a Few to Break presents PROCESSION

posted by And a Few to Break at 11:29 PM 0 comments

the donts

we are playing with these guys in two weeks time
saw them tonight at hotel utah
they are a nice mix of garage rock and dance music
i couldn't wipe the smile off my face for most of their set
they also have quite a following
mostly women (who like to dance) and clap

ralph carney who has played on a number of tom waits recordings
played with them tonight and on their album
fantastic



the new rapture album
not what i wanted
definitely, objectively, not as good as echoes
but the good songs are so stupidly simple and danceable
and don't leave your mind for days



listening to the newly grizzly bear
certainly pleasant and pretty
the folk movement continues
on an english electronic label
