EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Emanuel and The Fear - Deerhoof Cover + 1 More
Emanuel and the Fear is a joyful, 11-piece pop outfit spilling ink on all the right places—splashed across L Magazine, featured in the Voice, playing out sold out shows with David Byrne, TV on the Radio and Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson in attendance. The band of Brooklynites forms a plush extravaganza below, inflecting Deerhoof with a little Sufjan-orchestra-lite. Then, “The Rain...
Everyday is Like Sunday, Except for Blue Monday and Ruby Tuesday, and...Well, Friday I'm in Love: Weekly Mix #46
Here’s the last weekly mix of the year - not including the next three Sundays’ weekly mix round-ups of course. It’s also the fifth and last collection of cover versions for 2008. It’s hard to believe this is number 46 already. Without really thinking, this compilation turned out to lean about 50% into the post-punk/new wave direction (I guess that the odds are that...
Everyday is Like Sunday, Except for Blue Monday and Ruby Tuesday, and...Well, Friday I'm in Love: Year-End Round-Up Part 3
As the year winds down (or up, depending on half-full or half-empty glasses and whatnot), so does this blog. The Top Albums of 2008 countdown is over, and with this final installment, my weekly mix year-end round-up is now finished. This collection of mixes features themes on solo artists, travel, Scandinavia, autumn, 4AD, more synthpop, literature, more dance, more cover versions, Halloween,...
The 9's Have It: Historical Reasoning Why 2009 Will Be A Great Year for Music
Inspired By Tim Duffy 2008 was a shit year for music. With the economy falling down around us, the music industry continued to crumble under the pressure of the internet…falling down, down, down and barely even pulling in a cent (or so they would like you to believe). Bands inspired by the few cash cows we have left aped and copied their way through records. Folks were led to believe...
My Old Kentucky Blog 2008 Holiday Interview Series : Vito Aiuto of The Welcome Wagon
Asthmatic Kitty underwent quite an expansion in 2008. One of the acts I have been most intrigued by is The Welcome Wagon. The Welcome Wagon is a married couple, the Reverend Thomas Vito Aiuto and his wife Monique. With little-to-no musical training, Vito purchased a guitar with the desire to sing hymns with his family. With no ability to read music, Vito simply made up new tunes to...

Here We Go Magic
Brooklyn artists continue to dominate 2009 for me the latest example being Here We Go Magic, the moniker for singer/songwriter, Luke Temple.  I’m not sure why I’ve gone this long without hearing about this guy, especially since Sufjan Stevens and Ben Gibbard have both expressed their admiration for his previous work.  On the debut album for Here We Go Magic, Temple creates...
The Welcome Wagon - Sold! To the Nice Rich Man
Sufjan Stevens is woefully behind on that whole 50-albums-about-50-states project he started a few years ago. He covered Michigan in 2003 and Illinois in ’05, but since then all we’ve heard, other than a Christmas box set (which I recommend—’tis the season!), was 2006’s Illinois outtakes, The Avalanche. I, for one, have been getting impatient for more Sufjan, and...
