Every year there are so many buzzbands that are available to ‘buzz about’/align your blog’s brand with by covering them on a regular/daily basis.

Animal Collective sure don’t invest much money in their videos, but you probably wouldn’t like them as much if the did. They prefer to focus their video energy on making sure if you are on drugs, when you watch their vids, you have a complete and total freakout. Their third official video release from their incredible 2009 release Merriweather Post Pavilion is for Brothersport.

THE BEST NEW ARTISTS Someone You Should Know       One Hundred Suns is effervescent! - an EP filled with songs that fill every inch of the room and seek out more. I’ve listened to the new one from Oxford, England’s Jonquil, several times this week and found it increasingly narcotic - perfect for when you want to do some real thinking. With a sound that’s...
Sun Hotel don’t believe in over complication. Their bio is as straightforward and twitter friendly as they come. Do you need to know much more than ‘We live in the south, we like it, we make music’? Their music is equally simple. There are no friperries, beeps or buzzes it’s simply laid back, mellow harmonies and subtle psychedelic twists and turns. It sounds like the...

The last Lollapalooza of the this decade is in the books and despite, what on paper, looked like a less than impressive lineup, it turned out another weekend of exciting and memorable moments just as in years past. Every year going at Lolla, one is expected to battle oppressive heat, but on Friday this year, Mother Nature decided to throw in a little something extra - a rain storm that only...

It’s a curious name these four Canadian men have taken. If there was a definite article, or if the music were very different, you could maybe put it down to macho attention-seeking or glammy affectation. In fact, ‘women’ is simply the opposite of what they collectively are: an erasure of self that extends to the cover of their debut album, an old Felix Greene photograph of...
