1MM: Berlin, In (Graf) Writing
April 20, 2008
[Photos by Andrew Parks] If you ever stumble upon self-titled‘s archive, you’ll notice an apparent lack of posts from early February. The reason was not laziness; truth be told, we were on vacation. But not just any vacation–we were over in Europe, trying to uncover just why Berlin’s been considered the world’s up-and-coming art/music epicenter […]
LONG PLAYER OF THE DAY: Working For a Nuclear Free City, Businessmen & Ghosts
April 18, 2008
Man oh man is this entry a long time coming. You see, we first fell for these genre-jumping Brits way back in 2006, when their self-titled debut landed in the UK by way of Melodic and the loaded tagline of “techno music played on guitars.” While we wouldn’t quite draw a direct lineage between the […]
Franz Ferdinand Post Cryptic Studio Video
April 17, 2008
Remember Franz Ferdinand? Not the Archduke of Austria, silly–the band! Well, the Scottish quartet is currently working on its third LP, the follow-up to 2005’s surprisingly overlooked You Could Have It So Much Better. The following 47-second video doesn’t say much but it does give fans a slight idea of what they might expect on […]
BUY IT, BURN IT, SKIP IT: M83, Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Kooks, Supergrass and more
April 15, 2008
M83 does the mash–the monster mash By Aaron Richter As you all know by now, new releases hit record-store shelves and digital-download services each Tuesday. So every week self-titled presents a new release you’d be stupid not to own (Buy It), one worth checking out if you’re the curious type (Burn It) and something […]
LONG PLAYER OF THE DAY: The Kills, Midnight Boom
April 14, 2008
[Photo by Kenneth Capello] While self-titled‘s aware that Midnight Boom doesn’t really need anymore positive press–everyone from EW to Nylon seems to have woken up with morning wood after hearing The Kills‘ third full-length–we quite frankly don’t care. Why? Because listening to dirty and (slightly) dangerous cuts like the one-two-three punch of “Cheap and Cheerful,” […]
Q&A with The Futureheads | Interview by Karen Ruttner
April 14, 2008
IT’S GETTING BETTER It’s fair to say that the Futureheads are the buzz band of the moment in the UK. Which is both strange and silly, really, considering they’ve been around for nearly eight years and already got tagged a ‘Next Big Thing’ band a few short years ago, as they headlined major festivals and […]
FREE ASSOCIATION: Fuck Buttons’ Track-By-Track Breakdown of “Street Horrrsing”
April 10, 2008
Interview by Arye Dworken Live Photos by Andrew Parks There’s something incredibly calming/life-affirming about Fuck Button‘s ATP debut (Street Horrrsing, out now) despite the fact that it often sounds like a chase scene through a blizzard, as led by the “I want your soulllll” demon from Aphex Twin’s “Come to Daddy.” Yep, it’s creepy, but […]
NEW YORK CONVERSATION: Hot Chip/Matthew Dear/Explosions in the Sky/Lichens, 4.8.08
April 8, 2008
Every week, self-titled scours the streets of New York looking for a good time. This is what we discovered on Tuesday night at the Music Hall of Williamsburg and Terminal 5 … STeditor01: so i’m pretty sure I’m 20% high Caps: from? STeditor01: second hand smoke was killer Caps: ha Caps: not too much smoke […]
