Um, excuse me, why didn’t I catch these guys during the 10 years I lived in San Diego? The Drowning Men are fuckin’ rad. Love the vox, love keyboards, love the guitars, love the drums, and I absolutely love their style. They have a very raw indie sound that can rock your soul and even throw you into a magical loop of just beautiful music.
Their short instrumental “Oracle Meets The Weeping Willow,” off their latest album “The Beheading Of The Song Bird”, is so creepy-beautiful. With delicate, yet haunting piano [...]

Happy Birthday Bowie!

Yep, another Birthday! And this one goes to one of my ultimate favs, he’s graced my lastfm charts and Grimy Goods numerous times! Happy Birthday to the Thin White Duke, David Bowie and thanks to Rodney Bingenheimer for discovering and blowing this fine talent up in the States!

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros Premier Second Installment of Salvo!

Whoa! These shorts are pretty weird but super cool. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros have gone beyond the traditional concept of a music video with an ambitious project entitled SALVO!, a feature-length movie musical split into 12 visually striking segments. In the first, “Desert Song,” singer (and former Ima Robot frontman) Alex Ebert confronts his father in a desert wasteland, followed by a series of hallucinations. Rad!
Check both clips, “Desert Song” and the newest release, “Kisses Over Babylon” at Spinner.com.
