Unwrap Your Christmas
If you’re looking for great music to play on Christmas, I suggest Listening Live to my local radio station, The Peak. Starting at 3pm on Christmas Eve, they will play non stop Christmas music until 12 pm Christmas Day. Then, continue to listen as they “unwrap” your Christmas with acoustic music the rest of the [...]
BOOMBOX
While browsing through the lovely video site Vimeo, I ran across a hilarious video that I felt needed to be posted up on Indie Anthems. The video was done by a graduate student named Ely Kim. It consists of him dancing to 100 songs in 100 days in 100 locations. The music selection consists of [...]

Album Review of “Album” by Girls
I discovered this band through an Indie playlist I had downloaded (free of charge) through iTunes. Girls are a band from San Francisco that experiment with mellow beats accompanied by alternative influences and simple riffs. What catches my attention is the simple structure of lyrics used to persuade such an overall effect of [...]
What I’m Listening To: The Violent Femmes

What I’m Listening To: Owl City
First off, I need to apologize to those of you that come around and read my articles throughout the week, I haven’t been able to put out quite as many articles recently.

What I’m Listening To: Ghostland Observatory
Lately I have been listening to Ghostland Observatory, a two man electro-rock group from Texas. They released their first album in 2005, titled “delete.delete.i.eat.meat,” an interesting name for interesting music.

CAKE has a unique style, with monotone vocals and the use of brass instruments as well as guitar, drums, and bass. My current favorite song of theirs is “Shadow Stabbing,” one of their many songs in [...]

Today DJ Shadow sent out a message on his website, responding to his apparently unhappy fans about his involvement with DJ Hero. He specifically mentioned “know-nothing blogger[s]” and talked about his fans’ reservations with the game. Since I am a fan as well as a blogger, I’d just like to address my stance on the [...]
