Buzzbands I coulda/shoulda blogged abt in 2k10
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. Some artists are ‘good’ and ‘deserve hype’, but other bands sorta represent how hollow/forced the buzzosphere can be. Here are bands that Carles ‘could have’ blogged abt on HIPSTER RUNOFF this...
Top 100 records of 2009: 100-81
 Grammatics Choosing a top 100 records of 2009 may seem a little excessive but it has been a fucking awesome year for music.  No question.  We’ve mixed together albums, singles and individual tracks in our list, because we can.  The first batch is our top 100-81 and even though they’re at the lower reaches of our countdown, they’re all still amazing....
SxSW Beginner's Guide #8 - Eye, Jay and Kay
I think this is my first SxSW related post since I booked my (bargain) flights to Austin, so there’s definitely no backing out now. Not long til I go either so these posts need to step up a gear. So below are the highlights of the I, J and K pile winging their way to Texas state in March. Let’s dig in and find some excellence shall we? Inhabitants (www.myspace.com/theinhabitants...
Japandroids in Tripwire's Backyard
I recently told you how I was loving Post-Nothing, the new album from Japandroids. Still am. They popped up on The Tripwire’s Backyard Series today and lead singer, Brian King, did a sweet cover of McLusky’s To Hell With Good Intentions, which we just played on our SIRIUS XM Blog Radio show on Tuesday. Check it out and then check out a couple more at The Tripwire. Previous:...

Japandroids : Young Hearts Spark Fire
Vancouver two-piece Japandroids have released their new album, Post-Nothing, through Polyvinyl and, if you haven’t, you better pick it up. Most 90s-influenced rock leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth, reminding me of too many Midwestern bar bands that just can’t seem to crawl out of the era. Post-Nothing seems to tap into something different - "gut-level concerns" as...

After Tonight We're Not Gonna Need It.
Japandroids - Young Hearts Spark Fire. Lately I’ve been making my own hours and listening to mostly Big Star and Steely Dan. Anyone who’s spent any time around me in the last month or two can attest to this. Wake up late, make some strong coffee, cook up some fresh eggs and relax with Pretzel Logic or Radio City. Sounds like a fine time, right? Well it took Japandroids to knock...
Siren Fest '09
Do not go to Siren Fest hungover! This should be a rule that’s written on the post because it is a pretty awful feeling to stand in the sun on one of the warmest days of the year when you were drinking till 4am the previous night. Yeah, sometimes my decision making is not what it’s supposed to be at this point in my life, but I did my best to battle the hangover and my sudden aversion...
Siren Fest 2009: Built to Spill + Thee Oh Sees + Japandroids + Raveonettes + Grand Duchy + more
Built to Spill Grand Duchy/Frank Black Thee Oh Sees Without a doubt, this was the most pleasant weather the Siren Festival has ever seen. Maybe a weird thing to say up front, but here’s a festival that has a reputation for being held on the most miserably hot, humid day of the year, where you wish someone would squeegee you every half hour. So with temperatures in the mid-80s and low...
