Unrelated to Vampires, you should check out www.bookofbandnames.com. Its a site that hilariously suggests fictitious band names for struggling artists. Just click it.

So overdue.

No excuse. I hate myself for not posting anything new in so long. And with lots of music out there I really like. Coming soon. Been working on another site, that is a writing project, with a few friends. Instead of a book of baby names, we're writing and compiling a Book of Band Names. Check out www.bookofbandnames.com. Do it. Write us. Use the suggestions. Don't be so cruel.

Check out a song from the new Ghostland Observatory record titled "Codename: Rondo". For fans of the Rapture, LCD Soundsystem, and noises that come from computers, check out "Give Me The Beat", below. Good luck getting it out of your head.

Vampire Weekday

If you like vampire tv shows, novels, movies, I may just look at you like you just told me you're a registered sex offender. With every judgement, there is an exception, and my exception is this Swedish masterpiece.

My "I think Vampire shows and movies are dumb" segue leads me to the soundtrack for "Vampire Diaries"...which is some ridiculous looking show on The CW Network, or something like that? The soundtrack features songs from Bat For Lashes, Placebo covering Kate Bush, Goldfrapp, and The Gorillaz. It also features the song below, by The Silversun Pickups. Vampy, and charecteristically fuzzy, check out "Currency of Love" below. Have I mentioned that Chris Guanlao is an amazing, Animal from the Muppets-like drummer?

P.S. they're playing in L.A.!

Here's a track from a record I'm growing quite fond of, from Canada's P.S. I Love You. P.S., happy belated Thanksgiving, Canada! Check out the P.S. page HERE. They will be playing tonight at The Central in Santa Monica. Don't like that part of town? Me either! P.S. I Love you will be wrapping up L.A. at The Mint tomorrow night. Check out "Little Spoon" below.

Robot Love

Here's a track from the "I'm Here" soundtrack, a short film from Spike Jonze, which debuted earlier this year at Sundance. The film is described as a Sci-Fi Romance, with two robots in Los Angeles, who find love in one another.

The Lost Trees are a fictitious robot band in the film. The band is actually Nick Zinner, Kevin Barnes of Of Montreal, and members of The Moonrats. Sounds complicated enough? Check out the site for the short film HERE. Check out "The Past is a Grotesque Animal", which is originally an Of Montreal song, below.

Neutral Milk Monday

Here's two tracks I discovered on heavy discount, a la bargain bin deals...that in no way discounts or should deter you from these wonderful bands.

The first track is from Neutral Milk Hotel, from their 'Everything Is' EP. Check out the title track below.


(Somebody handed Paris a NMH cd...what's hidden inside of it?!)

Secondly we have a track from a great New Zealand act called Surf City. Check out 'Free The City' from their self titled Ep.

Also for your video pleasure, check out a video from the Matador 21 party in Las Vegas a few weekends ago. Ted Leo joins Liz Phair onstage for a rendition of 'Fuck & Run'. I can't help but speculate, but did Liz and Ted get down and dirty in a Vegas hotel room last weekend? Even a small chance?! If only there were an Indie Rock TMZ.
