Nothing Sounds Good If You're Andy Greenwald

September 30, 2009 / 2 Comments

This is why I cannot respect Andy Greenwald’s opinion on emo: Obviously, taste is taste. Opinion, opinion. But if this man is the guy who’s supposed to be the emo know-it-all (read: self-created title/Spin created title), I’m not buying it. The guy doesn’t seem to understand the impulse that emo acts have towards evolution, probably … [Read more…]

Interview with Chris Simpson

September 29, 2009 / Leave a Comment

It’s an absolute pleasure to bring Chris Simpson into the America Is Just A World fold. Part of my inclination for adding more interviews and material to what I’ve already written for the book is to really uncover the narratives that have been overlooked, and no band’s lifetime has the same mixture of mild coverage … [Read more…]

…And I'm All Out Of Bubblegum

Oh, the many wonders of Goggle: [googlevideo=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9005367754264973286#] With all the video sites out there, I tend to forget Google video exists, but they’ve got some great stuff. Like John Carpenter’s They Live, a fantastic cult movie that seems as ingrained in today’s society as the 80s. The protagonist is a wandering, jobless American who just … [Read more…]

Hold The Phone, Buzzgrinder

September 25, 2009 / 2 Comments

Buzzgrinder whipped up a little post today about a new Sunny Day Real Estate album. I say “whipped up,” because they certainly embellished something. Here’s the “scoop”: Regular Buzzgrinderer Travis Lee dropped us a tasty tidbit. He just saw Sunny Day Real Estate in Minneapolis, and during the new song they’ve been playing on their reunion … [Read more…]

Silly Poster

September 24, 2009 / Leave a Comment

Look at this fucking tour poster: There’s got to be hundreds of copyright infringements on this thing… No matter, Dan Deacon seems to get away with a lot of stuff and manages to create some fantastic… well, works. I guess. Know all the ‘toons? Enter the contest… details here.

On and On and On

September 23, 2009 / Leave a Comment

I wrote another piece for The Boston Phoenix, this time about… Sunny Day Real Estate. Whoda thunk it? For folks wondering about A) all the reunion hubub and why it’s happening 2) what’s the big deal with the band C) just how the band got back together and 3.14) the details of the reunion and … [Read more…]

Video: SDRE – "10"/"New Song"

September 20, 2009 / Leave a Comment

For folks who want proof that a new Sunny Day Real Estate song exists, it’s been uploaded onto YouTube. YouTube user Jnuhjnuh (a spin on LP2‘s “J’Nuh”) captured the performance of what is believed to be called “10” at the band’s Portland show. Here’s the video: The audio quality ain’t the best, but you can … [Read more…]

SDRE Debut New Song In Vancouver

September 19, 2009 / Leave a Comment

According to Paste, Sunny Day officially debuted what is most likely referred to as “10” (aka their new song) at the tour kickoff in Vancouver. Here’s what they said about it: Only marginally less impressive was the debut of a new Sunny Day Real Estate number, appropriately titled “New Song,” where the guitars suggested someone has … [Read more…]

SDRE Tacoma show on YouTube

September 18, 2009 / 1 Comment

Adam9512 was nice enough to record the entire Sunny Day secret show that was in Tacoma the other night and post it on YouTube (thanks Stereogum). Audio quality isn’t great (but really, how can you improve upon seeing a band in person?) but it’s a nice sneak peek for folks who have tickets for their … [Read more…]
