Neko Case - Skylight West - 9/4/13

Better Than: Free beer. Neko Case and Kelly Hogan have got stage banter to a stand-up science. "Somebody brought me ice!

Who Says "Fuck" the Best in Music?

Next to "baby," "love," "yeah, "ooh," and "hey," the word "fuck" might be the most ubiquitous word in the history of pop. People love to curse in their songs. It's given us hundreds of memorable hooks, and hours of litigation. It's forced countless middle-schoolers to play Dookie through headphones, ... More >>

The Honeymoon Continues: Best Coast Strike Again With "Far Away"

​Get it from Stereogum. It has not escaped notice that Bethany Consantino's output a) all pretty much sounds the same and b) can, when slathered in enough reverb, make her sound not unlike a pre-NPR-coronation Neko Case. No one is mad at either of those things -- let us revel in Best Coast's o ... More >>

On The New Pornographers' "Your Hands Together," Which You Can Listen To, Right Now

​I don't mean to alarm anyone, but an initial spin through the New Pornographers' imminent Together reminded me for some reason of the Dirty Projectors more than once, Carl Newman commanding a half-glib, half-baroque choir of backing vocalists (Neko Case counts for, like, 10 normal people) in ...

All Points West Saturday: Mud, Tool, and the Mighty My Bloody Valentine

The goal for day two of All Point West, at least in the eyes of the promoters, was to make you forget that just 24 hours ago, you or someone you know got drenched. And probably complained about it, or warned you to stay away. So they cut a deal: if you bought a Friday ticket, you could come back S ... More >>
