My favorite husband-and-wife songwriting duo from Cincinnati is at it again… the holiday EP Down, Down, Down from Ellery is out. This time it’s pay what you want (min $4). Available for streaming at bandcamp, too. I generally abhor Christmas music, but this one is pretty darn good. The first two songs are brand new [...]

Goddamn Electric Bill “Ten Thousand Years”

I’ve been a fan of Jason Torbert’s pseudonym Goddamn Electric Bill and his organic, electronic one-man bandness for a while. I bought his EP, The Only Power to Please, from the musical social ghetto that is MySpace back in 2005. I’ve been a fan of his work ever since – it fits with a lot [...]

So, the Digital Noise Academy dropped the “Los Angeles” from the front of their name… it’s been a while since there’s been any activity to report, but yesterday they posted their new official video for “Melting Inside“…
The DNA is Ken Andrews (coincidentally brought up in my Puscifer live show review from [...]

“The Mission,” from the forthcoming Puscifer digital EP…
I like Meats Meier, but I think this “little CGI Maynard” theme in his videos are getting a bit tiring to me. Oh well… good song. The C is For… -EP- comes out Nov 10th. Check out tour dates below…

Seattle jazz band Reptet has a new 7″ vinyl out called Agendacide. It’s available in vinyl/mp3 and mp3-only versions via the Reptet website, CDBaby, or (I expect eventually) the Monktail Creative Music Concern’s webpage. They’re headed out on a West Coast tour (that I won’t be able to catch this time, unfortunately):

Yet again, Glen Phillips is releasing stuff at the end of the year via the Bandcamp website. Heck, if this year ends up like last year (with the fantastic Plover and RemoteTreeChildren records), I’ll be happy to drop some more coin for some more Glen. Here is his latest, silly ditty:

One of my favorite rock bands around right now is dredg. I’ve seen them twice this year, and their 2009 album The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion is at this time the easiest pick for album of the year for me. Easiest. It’s fantastic. The aforementioned album is a concept album inspired by Salmon Rushdie’s [...]

I mentioned the Asthmatic Kitty Records‘ Library Catalog Music Series back here (yeah, buried amongst 8 other music stories). Anyway, 900X’s will likely not be my only multiple-spinnable one (sidenote: I just got the 900X album on vinyl… yay!).
Coming out in December are three more in the all-instrumental series…
