Three Imaginary Girls: Biding time between festival weekends (The KEXP Blog)

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 13:17:33 GMT

This is an interesting weekend. It is between two festivals — last weekend’s Sub Pop 20 extravaganza (I didn’t even go but I followed it so closely online that I felt exhausted) and next Capitol Hill Block Party next. Still, there is no shortage of interesting things to do this week. Like… Pabst Record Swap at [...]

Album: CSS, Donkey (Sub Pop) (The Independent)

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 23:00:01 GMT

Lyrical references to places like Amsterdam and Helsinki indicate the new jet-set sophistication that has smoothed away the rough edges, leaving them less like X-Ray Spex and more like a generic new-wave electropop group – akin to New Order on the inaptly titled "Beautiful Song", but more often evoking the spindly-indie etiolated funk of Tom Tom Club on tracks such as "Move" and the equally...

Rockin' Our Turntable: Cansei de Ser Sexy (Chicagoist)

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:37:00 GMT

Between "Let's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above" and the iPod commercial soundtrack "Music Is My Hot Sex" we think it's safe to assume every human being has heard the music of Cansei de Ser Sexy (CSS) . On their sophomore effort Donkey , due next week from Sub Pop, the band continues to deliver danceable rock songs guaranteed to keep their fans happy. We've heard some criticism directed CSS's...

Noah’s Daily Choice: The Dutchess and the Duke - Reservoir Park (Sound On The Sound)

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:35:03 GMT

I’ve been harassing the good folk over at Hardly Art (the brilliant little Sub Pop shingle currently hosting great bands like Le Loup and The Moondoggies) for weeks, maybe even months, for a copy of the brand new release by twosome The Dutchess and the Duke. I’d caught the folk-rockin’ boy/girl group in the neon [...]

Review written by Matt Garman Since we're being nostalgic, please forgive me while I indulge myself. Marymoor Park was just down the road through all of middle school and high school for me. The site for the Sub Pop 20th Anniversary shows is the very same place I used to play frisbee. I went on more than one long walk with a girl I was convinced I loved there. My friend Paul was caught fucking his...

Despite near record-breaking temperatures both days, we’ve never seen more exposed pasty white hipster flesh than we did at SP20. Along with the scorched earth and copious sunscreen, there were plenty of places to camp out in the [...]
