New Buffalo Plays
By Rachel | Album Picks | 6 Comments
New Buffalo helped take my Monday blues away…This Monday was not like most Monday’s as instead of waking up at the crack of dawn to go to work I had to wake up at the crack of dawn and serve Jury Duty…Oh my dear friends this was my first experience and oh how I wish it was my last. No one wanted to be there, I didn’t want to be there but alas all of us were summoned to the courts of hell to serve justice! Thank goodness it is over…Now I can rest assured I won’t get another Jury Summons for at least 12 months but after that I am fair game…Bastards.

Film School, Hideout
By Rachel | Album Picks | Leave a Comment
Film School is a five member band from San Francisco that have survived troublesome times after the bands main man Greg Bertens was jumped outside a Columbus, Ohio club last year and their van was stolen in Philadelphia, which contained all their equipment and to shake things up a little more they lost a few of their band members as well.
But Film School has prevailed and this past Tuesday they released their second full length album, Hideout. An album filled with soaring guitars and driving rhythms which manage to take you away to far off places.

Caribou, Andorra
By Rachel | Album Picks | 5 Comments
Caribou just makes you feel good…I just want to say, “Weeee!” They kind of have a 60’s pop sound mixed in with a little psych rock. If Belle and Sebastian tickle your fancy then I would certainly recommend this 4 piece band from Canada (Another band I recommend that hails from Canada…How many is that now Mentok?) I love their soaring energetic rock, it’s like a drug…You just want it to take you as high as it possibly can…Not that I know from experience. ;-)

Beirut
By Rachel | Music Mix Up | 3 Comments
I just got tickets for the Beirut show at the Avalon on October 11th. I am very excited, I literally started jumping up and down after I got the confirmation of purchase. I am not really thrilled about the venue but I think I would go just about anywhere to see these guys play their hearts out.
And in other news emusic recently put up a new single of Beirut’s titled Elephant Gun, the single includes the title track, Elephant Gun, Transatlantique and Le Moribond (live).

The New Pornographers, Challengers
By Rachel | Album Picks | 3 Comments
I got twinkle lights from Target! Except mine were only $4.99. They make the bedroom sparkle and that makes me smile. Weeee!
The New Pornographers make me smile as well, their new album Challengers was just released on Tuesday. An album filled with instrumental delights and harmonies infused with energetic pop. Once again this Canadian band manages to captivate my ears with their fourth success, I highly recommend a listen this album will be on many end of the year lists. Enjoy!
