What’s up guys. This is Mike.. Go ahead and call me MikeBro in honor of Carles the #1 altbro of all time. Haha. Go ahead, give me shit cause I’m not him, but give me a little bit of room to grow, too. Sure no one can match Carleses style, but I think if you guys keep coming back, you’ll start to open up to new ideas and words, and just give me a chance to shine. Maybe I...
British indie-pop group Hatcham Social have enjoyed some stellar company, sharing their drummer with a rising Klaxons, collaborating with The Horrors’ Faris Badwan, and signing in the States to TBD Records, home of White Rabbits and this band called Radiohead. The Badwan-produced "So So Happy Making" was initially released as a single last year in the UK, though it’s now...

(Photo: Jonny Greenwood) If you haven’t heard about this new Radiohead song, then you probably don’t have the best Internet connection. Which is fine. It’s just a song. Nothing to freak out about. Oh wait, there’s the confusing URLs, poems embedded in the MP3, theories that the band leaked it themselves via an exclusive torrent tracker. Such hullabaloo over a five-...

Radiohead MP3s

Well, there was the mysterious track leak, and now there appear to be rumors floating that Monday Radiohead will release a digital EP called Wall of Ice… check out the rumor mill here and here. I think these guys deserve honorary PhDs in making the internet geek out. And, if you didn’t hear “These are my Twisted Words,” I’m posting it below… MP3:...
This is a post about Animal Collective I listen to the Animal Collectives on a weekly basis. I think I ‘like’ them because they are differentiated from ‘traditional music’ and ‘modern indie music.’ When I listen to them, I exist on a higher plane of musical appreciation and consume products for ‘all the right reasons.’ For the past couple...
Photo Illustration by Nick Duncan. Click for hi-res version. 2008 is taking it’s final bow and a what a year it has been. While ‘07 was dominated by a slew of  indie rock heavy hitters releasing awesome albums (Spoon, Of Montreal, Arcade Fire, Wilco,  Radiohead) this is a year where new talent seems to be garnering the most attention.  For me at least,...
Brooklyn artists continue to dominate 2009 for me the latest example being Here We Go Magic, the moniker for singer/songwriter, Luke Temple.  I’m not sure I’ve gone this long without hearing about this guy, especially since Sufjan Stevens and Ben Gibbard have both expressed their admiration for his previous work.  On the debut album for Here We Go Magic, Temple creates a...
Radiohead- “Amnesiac” Recorded mostly during the same sessions for “Kid A”, Radiohead described these two albums, released in 2000 and 2001, as “twins separated at birth”. Considering that “Kid A” is on fairly good terms with bleakness, it shouldn’t be taken lightly that “Amnesiac” is the creepy, Fucked Up sibling...
