Today’s Vegetable:
They Got A Pouch In The Front, And Plus A Tail In The Back

March 9, 2010

Hooray! I’m stoked to post this one today. You might remember Javelin from such posts as “They Buy Cassettes At Community Thrift And Tweak Them Into A Song.”
Weeell, their debut album No Más comes out April 20 on Luaka Bop, and with any luck, this won’t be the only Salt-N-Pepa-referencing track with a munchkin [...]

Noise Popped! Saturday 2/27:
!!! / Maus Haus / Sugar & Gold / My First Earthquake @ Mezzanine

March 2, 2010

Saturday’s Noise Pop show at Mezzanine was a full-on freakout. I think Sugar & Gold’s vocalist Pam summed it up best when he said, “San Francisco — how’s life? This next song’s about male pregnancy.”
Hard to find a better party band than Sugar & Gold, who bring the early-80s Prince sound to your rump and [...]

February 16, 2010

Holy maloleys, pepples — Noise Pop starts in one week, and it’s exhausting just looking at the schedule. Fortunately, you’re only one person, so you can’t kill yourself trying to make everything. Over the next week, I’ll be highlighting particular shows to help you maybe make up your mind.

Today’s Vegetable (Covers Week, Day 5):
If We Got Married, Wouldn’t That Be Cool?

January 29, 2010

Covers week over already? Do you miss it? Wait, don’t answer — I’m a little angry at you. Why didn’t you tell me about Fol Chen? Didn’t you think I would like a band that makes a video like this?
“The Longer U Wait”

That’s OK, I forgive you! It’s all better now. Especially since Fol Chen [...]

Listen to the result of their afternoon (but it’s more fun if you watch the video first):
Javelin – Me Thing Drawing Me
Javelin’s first LP, No Más, comes out April 20 on Luaka [...]
