Absolutely in love with this Brooklyn group (or, more particularly, lead singer Molly Hamilton), and yes they WILL be making an appearance on my year-end Best Albums list. Check out these killer videos of them live in Copenhagen from the dudes at They Shoot Music (the same people who also brought you those dope Ganglians acoustic jams).

Widowspeak // Live in Copenhagen
Wednesday, January 4th, 2012Ganglians // Live in Copenhagen
Tuesday, November 29th, 2011Lefse Records just posted this pair of acoustic gems from Ganglians, recorded live in Copenhagen. Kind of surreal seeing one of my favorite bands, touring half a world away, playing at a bar I used to go to when I was living in Denmark. #Reminiscing

Real Estate // It’s Real
Friday, November 4th, 2011
Hands down, Real Estate is my favorite band of the past five years (and I seem to not be the only one). Ever since their first EP, Atlantic City Expressway, graced my ears I’ve become an insta-fan. Their new record, entitled Days, which has garnered quite the attention as of late, features the track “It’s Real” which is probably my favorite Real Estate track they have ever recorded. The band first performed this song live in Japan about a year ago, and since then I’ve compiled quite the collection of mp3s/videos of this track performed live. You can check out my favorites below:
Real Estate // It’s Real (Album Version)
Real Estate // It’s Real (Live in Shibuya)
Real Estate // It’s Real (Live in NYC) (via: NYCTaper)
I have deliberately not bought the LP yet because I knew the band was going to swing by Salt Lake City in early November (today, in fact) and I wanted to make sure that they got the maximum percentage from my buying the album. Also, I haven’t listened to any other songs that have been released from Days because, frankly, I don’t want to be disappointed. When you record something as great as “It’s Real,” I can only see it going down hill from there — but who knows, hopefully I’m wrong!

Colleen Green // Cujo EP
Monday, August 22nd, 2011
If someone asked me what are my three favorite micro-genres of music that I enjoy most at the moment it would be beat-laden electronica, “witch house” (in quotes), and girl-driven garage rock. Adding another hyperlink to the latter is Oaklander/LA-uh-er and recent Art Fag Recordings signee Colleen Green.
Admittedly, I don’t know much about her biography (and it seems like I’m not the only one), however, for all those that have been jaded by the recent transformations of one Bethany Cosentino will find a home with Green’s don’t-give-a-fuck songs. After blazing through what she has posted on her bandcamp — nine tracks, mostly covers — it makes me excited to hear what she has in store for her six-track Art Fag EP. After scouring the internet for mp3s from the new release, I could only dig up an acoustic version of “Cujo” Green did for Washington State University’s KZUU radio back in March, which you can hear below, and a link to what sounds like the vinyl ready version of the same track over at blahblahblahscience. Enjoy!
Reading Rainbow // Live Videos
Monday, May 30th, 2011Reading Rainbow just posted on their blog a series of live videos from a recent gig in Pittsburgh featuring a 3-piece version of their group. Below are my favorites — stellar stuff!
Emily Reo // Live at Will’s Pub
Sunday, April 24th, 2011
Have no clue where I downloaded this live set of Emily Reo or what city it was even recorded from (but if the Reo’s exclamation of “Jheri, he’s kind of famous” is any indication, that might answer both questions), but nonetheless I feel inclined to post about it.
Although I don’t possess a tangible copy by anything of Reo (my suspicions that her Witch Mtn. Cassette was out-of-print seems to be unfounded), my digital library is scattered throughout with references to the singer. Whether it is with her collaborations (Blackbird Blackbird, Craft Spells, Philip Seymour Hoffman) or her original material, anytime is always the right time when it comes to listening to her stuff.
Although the live tracks I have of hers can be counted on one hand, each one is an endearing gem. You can check out my two favorites from her performance at Will’s Pub (including a Built to Spill cover) below and be sure to grab her Witch Mtn release for a pay-what-you-want price here.
Allah Las // Videos
Sunday, February 27th, 2011The past year or so, I’ve been wondering what LA surf-rock outfit Allah Las have been up to. Unfortunately, all the “new material” I could dig up was a pair of videos of them killing it live from this past May — making me even more antsy to hear some new stuff from these guys! Check out the videos below and download my personal favorite “Long Journey” below:
The Knife // Silent Shout: An Audio/Visual Experience
Saturday, November 20th, 2010Highly, HIGHLY recommend watching the video. One of my favorite groups of the past decade doing what they do best. Fucking amazing. (Available for one week via P4k)
