Head to Stereogum to get Crooked Legs by The Acorn. Plenty of Canadian dates planned for the band in support of the upcoming Paper Bag release Glory Hope Mountain.
Its a little known fact that Air, sometime during the last year or so built a time machine, went back to the late ’60s and experimented on hippies. Don’t get the wrong idea, it was purely about making music. All of this I can’t substantiate, but if we assume it could have happened, it could have created the band we know as Black Moth Super Rainbow.Five piece band from Pittsburgh blending electronica, pop and folk, all covered in 3 hefty doses of psychedelia. From what I’ve heard, its heavy on the vocoder and Rhodes, but its a good fit. Touring like crazy these days, currently opening for The Flaming Lips. Again, a good fit.
Check out Forever Heavy by BMSR, the lead-off track off Dandelion Gum. Possibly the backing soundtrack to your next day dream at the office.
When I heard the kid on the bus say that he was coming into the city from Coboconk, a ton of memories came flooding back. No, I didn’t end up in Toronto after a fateful 2 hour bus ride when I was a teen, but I had a cottage on Silver lake, just outside of this town of 800 (I assume this number has gone up…). You might have heard about this town in the news in the last couple years when it was discovered that a store owner was keeping and cashing in winning lottery tickets from unsuspecting customers.
Here is Take Me To The Riot by Stars, the first single off the upcoming In Our Bedroom After The War. The song really doesn’t stray from what Stars do best. Songs building to the signature chorus of chaos, non-offensive drums playing double time with sweet girl boy harmonies.
Head over to I Guess I’m Floating to grab the mp3.
