Spanish Prisoners are a NY-based group with an interesting history. Frontman and songwriter Leonid Maymind crafted the first album, Songs To Forget, and launched an impressive effort to thrust his new group into the forefront of the music scene last year. Against all odds, he saw some remarkable success, from touring with John Vanderslice to [...]

Jukebox The Ghost + Jenny Owen Youngs Splitting A Record And A Tour
Jukebox The Ghost have long been one of those bands that friends of mine have been really into – no, I mean really into – but who it took me a few tries to get excited about. Don’t get me wrong, they were incredible at the first After The Jump Fest in 2007, then the [...]
It’s Monk Time
Most of the time I don’t get too hung up on reissues of albums, but when something comes my way from Light In The Attic I know it’s going to be worth checking out. That’s what got me into the Rodriguez album that came out recently, and it’s also what turned me on to the [...]
Lewis & Clarke, Vinyl & Tour ["Petrified Forest" MP3]
Lewis & Clarke – “Petrified Forest”
Here’s one that gets me every time. Lewis & Clarke (Robotinev) are an act that seem to pop up out of nowhere with out-of-this-world tunes every couple of months, and it’s always a pleasure to hear them. On a new limited edition 12″ colored vinyl EP entitled Light Time, Lou [...]
Naked Hearts Released “These Knees” And I Missed It + Forest Fire on talitres
I missed this one (shoulda been paying attention here), but better late than never when there are MP3s to give out: Back in January, NYC band The Naked Hearts released their debut EP, “These Knees.” It was just a year before that they were playing their first shows, and I was very impressed (hey, I [...]
The Thermals Can See You Soon, On Tour
Always one of my favorite bands to see live, The Thermals seemed to be doing their bet to run themselves into the ground at the recent SXSW Festival in Austin, TX while promoting their upcoming full length, Now We Can See (April 7, Kill Rock Stars). Each record has refined their sound, transitioning from a [...]
Bleubird Releases Free “Street Talk” EP
Bleubird (aka the Florida-based half of Boyfriends Inc., along with Astronautalis – coming back to Portland later this month) just released Street Talk 5, a free digital EP with 5 hot new tracks to tide fans over while he works on even more new music. If you do download it (which I recommend) you might [...]
New The Black Lips Video – “I’ll Be With You”
Atlanta’s Black Lips recently released this video (which I like, despite the clown) for the single off their new album, 200 Million Thousand.
‘Sup Mag recently did a pretty extensive interview with the band, check it out here. I also highly recommend viewing The Black Lips in India debacle.
US tour dates after the jump.

South By Southwest Is All About Taco Trucks.
There isn’t much time for blogging this week, but you can keep up on a lot of what I’m checking out here in Austin over at Spin. Leftovers and outtakes will wind up on Flickr at some point.
Today is the After The Jump Fest backyard party. In a festival (and unofficial week of awesomeness) [...]
New Beat Radio song
Beat Radio have posted a new song on their website – the first in some time since they made the entirety of their record The Great Big Sea available for free. I remember hearing this song the last time I saw the band at Union Hall about a month ago, and this recording is remarkably [...]
