LONG PLAYERS OF THE YEAR: [25] Made Out of Babies, “The Ruiner” (The End)
December 16, 2008
We hate half-baked countdowns just as much as the next cynic. That said, self-titled couldn’t help but stare in horror as good but not great (Fleet Foxes at No. 1 and 2? Really?) albums top the lists of other publications. Here’s one of 30 selections from our rundown of wholly recommended 2008 records …
1MM: The Presets @ Modular’s Nevereverland Festival, 12.13.08
December 14, 2008
[Photos by Andrew Parks; click for slideshow version] Sorry if the above photo frightens you, but we think it captures the popularity of The Presets in Australia better than any review could. That, and the fact that they won Album of the Year, Best Dance Album and Best Group at this year’s ARIAs–essentially the Aussie […]
1MM: Dan Deacon’s 14-Piece Band @ Brooklyn Masonic Temple, 12.11.08
December 14, 2008
[Photos by Alexander Wagner] If there’s any doubt of Dan Deacon‘s status as a demigod among art school dropouts, last Thursday’s premiere of a grossly ambitious performance with a 14-piece band put that to rest immediately. We’d wax ecstatic about what self-titled witnessed but the photos speak for themselves, especially the last shot …
1MM: Hercules and Love Affair @ Modular’s Nevereverland Festival, 12.13.08
December 14, 2008
[Photos by Andrew Parks; click for slideshow version] Speaking of most improved shows, Hercules and Love Affair‘s makeover since last May–a clunky debut that struggled to translate DJ/producer Andy Butler’s twisted house opus with a full band–has been drastic, making them one of dance music’s most entertaining live acts. With Butler (the guy in the […]
1MM: Klaxons @ Modular’s Nevereverland Festival, 12.13.08
December 13, 2008
[Photos by Andrew Parks; click for slideshow version] As much as we loved their early singles–especially the air raid anthem “Atlantis to Interzone”–the Klaxons boys were godawful the first time self-titled saw them. Opening up for Soulwax at a raucous Studio B party, the trio was noisy and on the brink of self-destruction throughout their […]
LONG PLAYERS OF THE YEAR: [26] The Raveonettes, “Lust Lust Lust” (Vice)
December 12, 2008
[Photo by C Davey Wilson] We hate half-baked countdowns just as much as the next cynic. That said, self-titled couldn’t help but stare in horror as good but not great (Fleet Foxes at No. 1 and 2? Really?) albums top the lists of other publications. Here’s one of 30 selections from our rundown of wholly […]
1MM: Love Is All/Crystal Stilts @ Bowery Ballroom, 12.7.08
December 11, 2008
[Photos by Sunny Shokrae] Love Is All‘s latest LP, A Hundred Things Keep Me Up At Night, is out now via What’s Your Rupture? Crystal Stilts‘ drunken disasterpiece, Alight of Night, is available through Slumberland.
LONG PLAYERS OF THE YEAR: [27] Elbow, “The Seldom Seen Kid” (Geffen)
December 9, 2008
