Land of Talk is one of those bands that sneaks up on me and kicks my ass every time. They slip under the radar, and I forget about them completely. Then, a few months later I am reminded how much I like them, and the cycles starts all over again. Luckily for me, the band […]

Julian Plenti “Games for Days” on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
August 14th, 2009
Interpol’s Paul Banks brought his pseudonymous solo project, Julian Plenti, to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and showed more than a little musical muscle. Banks’ voice always sounds better in person than on television for some reason, but his sparse, post-punk sounds tightly wound here. I’ve been warming up to the full-length, which is a […]

VIDEO: Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson “Relator”
August 13th, 2009

Arctic Monkeys “Crying Lightning” on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
August 5th, 2009
Arctic Monkeys performed its brooding builder “Crying Lightning” last night on Jimmy Fallon, complete with stoner rock hairdos. Solid. The single is available on vinyl through Oxfam. Can’t wait for the new full-length on the 25th. Very annoyed, though, that there’s no love for the South on the current tour: 08/05 – Boston, MA @ […]
