Stuff I think about, but not thoroughly… · I was driving through Mobile, Alabama the other day and saw a flier for a hip hop group called “Mobil-anaires”. That’s pretty awesome. Right off the bat and they're already more interesting than the dreadfully boring Selmanaires. · Why does Janelle Monae always look so surprised […]

PomegranatesEverybody Come OutsideLujo Records By Al Kaufman The Pomegranates, from Cincinnati, have that same indie-pop exuberance that caused the media to fawn all over Clap Your Hands Say Yeah a few years back. Much like Clap Your Hands, Pomegranates clearly draw heavily upon their early Talking Heads and New Order albums. Everybody, Come Outside! is […]
Record Store Day is fast approaching, and we're getting reports in for how our own local indie record stores will be celebrating.

By Scott Roberts I met with vocalist Linda Hopper and guitarist Ruthie Morris at The Star Bar for a sound check that never happened – typical scheduling confusion.

Dan DeaconBromstCarpark Records By Ben Grad It's hard to see Dan Deacon's newest album, Bromst, as anything more than a collection of excellent (but similar) songs. By track four of Bromst, “Snookered,” Dan Deacon has established the pattern he'll use throughout the album: about a minute of minimalist noise buildup (in “Snookered,” a jumble of […]

Alice PeacockLove RemainsRocket Science/Adrenaline By Al Kaufman After 2005's introspective and piano-laden Who I Am, Alice Peacock moved to Nashville from Chicago and reinvented herself as a country girl with rock tendencies. There's plenty of twang on Love Remains. And there's plenty of Peacock's vocals. Strong, sexy and soulful sum them up quite well, but […]
Chris KnightHeart of StoneDrifter's Church By Al Kaufman Chris Knight should be doing Chevy Truck commercials. He's that type of guy. He's one of those straight ahead Americana type of singers; a little too country for rock radio, and way too rock for country radio. He falls into the cracks where Steve Earle and James […]
