Pablo Honey

It's astounding how many Radiohead 'fans' I've discovered who don't own, acknowledge, or listen to "Pablo Honey". I wonder if Miley Cyrus and Kanye West fall into that demographic? Check out some tracks from the re-issue of Pablo Honey, available from Insound here. Including the slightly different US version of "Stop Whispering".

Star Parts

Star Parts is the brainchild of Los Angeles resident and musician Michael Compton. He has recently added the former drummer and guitarist of L.A. bands, Sunday's Best and The Kite Eating Tree, respectively. The aforementioned drummer and guitarist, is solely Tom Ackerman. Their album is titled 'What You Bleed, Is What You Get'. There is a steady calm and confidence to this record that seems to effortlessly build up, and guide one's senses and imagination through this collection of songs. In the vein of The Red House Painters, or today's contemporary folk and rock of Band of Horses or Iron & Wine, check out a few tracks from Star Parts, and one bonus from Sunday's Best. Visit and add Star Parts at their MySpace page here. Join the brother and sisterhood of fandom on Facebook here. Visit their official Missing Records website here. Star Parts will be debuting their new lineup at The Knitting Factory's Alterknit lounge in Los Angeles, on April 15th.

Some P,B & J.

Here is the opening track to Peter, Bjorn, and John's latest "Living Thing", titled "The Feeling". This track starts off quite minimal, which in my opinion will have every remix DJ with Pro Tools offering up their own interpretations, quite shortly. Proceed with caution with this record, if 'Writer's Block' weighs heavy on your expectations for this record. It's best to give it a listen with a clean slate. Preorder "Living Thing" through Insound here, which has a release date of March 31st.

Leaves In The Gutter

A happy St. Patrick's Day to all. And a tribute to Mac McCaughan, founder of MERGE Records, Superchunk, and Portastatic. Mac's efforts in last year's North Carolina Democratic Primaries, also proved to be quite pivotal, in teaming up with The Arcade Fire for Concerts for Obama. Superchunk is releasing 'Leaves In The Gutter' on April 7th, which you can preorder through Insound, here. This 5 song EP proves Mac and Company can still churn out the great Superchunk melody.
