Cant Get Enough of Nobunny's "Motorhead With Me!"
Nobunny, the dude who rolled around the floor in his underwear while performing at Philly's MRoom, is back with a new 7" called "Give It To Me". It's a cool tune but the ultra lo-fi b-side "Motorhead With Me!" is absolutely irresistible and feat ...

Video Pick: Surf City - "Dickshakers Union"
Surf City are probably my favorite band at the moment. Their debut EP, which made the #3 spot on The Walrus' Top 20 Albums of 08, is a perfect blend of Flying Nun Lo-Fi and new power-pop, not to mention incredibly fun to sing-along to. Their vid ...

On Repeat All Day: Wavves - "Wavves"
I have been listening to this track by California's Wavves for most of the day, nodding my head along to the garagey bounce and squealing wash of guitar noise. Its sing-a-long style and band imagery is not unlike that of Times New Viking. Howeve ...

Autumn Music: Videotape - "Night Lights"
Autumn is just around the corner and upon hearing Videotape's 'Night Lights", sent to me by my friend alliemuffinbasket, I realize it can't come soon enough. Maybe it's the song's lo-fi haziness or the Galaxie 500 meets Shins vibe that immed ...

On Repeat All Day: Girls - "Lust For Life"
Even though summer is over, it's safe to say that these San Francisco dudes, that named themselves GIRLS, don't intend to ever let it go. Songs like "Lust For Life" and "God Damned" (see the video here) are intended to sound like "Beach Boys ...
