I’d been meaning to write about Tune-Yards for a week or two, but these videos gave me the perfect opportunity. For people who dig Micachu and the Shapes, Deerhoof and Final Fantasy, Tune-Yards would be an encouraged next step. These videos are incredibly wild and expressive, but also ...

I was working on my year end list of best songs the other day when I realized that I’d never posted on Think About Life’s album Family. It’s way past the peak time for me to be helping them out with a mention, but the album’s too good for me to ignore completely. ...

I tried not to post this, but my will didn’t last more than an instant. Jason Segel is one of the more hilarious, likeable actors going and this is a great song. He joined the Swell Season at an LA show to debut this song about trying to have sex with a Swell Season fan [...]

So in case you don’t read any blogs who occasionally report on goofy feuds within the music community, I’ll catch you up. Matt Friedberger of the Fiery Furnaces said that Radiohead were trying to be hip by writing a song about the inventor of the 43-tone scale, Harry Partch. Problem ...

Yesterday the Monolith Music Festival put up this message:
A tough economic year and an opening day of chilling rain combined to put a serious dent in our humble operation. We have continued to pursue any and all options that would allow us to recover from this year and head into 2010 with full ...

In 1993 I was seven years old and had likely just conned my dad into buying me a Super Nintendo (thanks, dad!). I was contributing nothing to society other than drawings of the X-Men. These United States, however, were apparently just getting their band together and recording this video for the ...

I missed the leak earlier today, so this is my first time hearing Vampire Weekend’s new song “Cousins.” The track’s not half bad. In fact, it might have done what the entire album should do — move past the formula of the first record, but don’t alienate too ...

Boing Boing just premiered this video for N.A.S.A’s song “Spacious Thoughts,” featuring Tom Waits and Kool Keith. It’s a crazy, pen and ink/computer video that gives great visuals to Tom’s voice and the song as a whole.

Robert Schneider of the Apples in Stereo always has a lot going on. Whether it’s his children’s music alter ego Robbert Bobbert, co-running Garden Gate Records or just playing with old friends, he’s always got something to keep himself (and his fans) occupied. Now his latest ...

According to Harlem, they’ve never heard the original, Paul Revere version of this song, only the Flamin’ Groovies cover. So really, this month’s Cover of the Month is actually a cover of a cover. But however it got from their instruments to our ears, let’s be thankful ...

Guys, I have a confession to make. Normally when faced with some really awesome, fresh news like “the Magnetic Fields have just announced their US tour dates,” I’ll rush to YANP and post it here before doing anything. But today I had to do something before posting this — ...

Sub Pop just posted this new track of Beach House’s upcoming album Teen Dream. It’s hitting stores in 2010, taking it out of the running for best album of the year/decade/whatever, but that doesn’t keep it from sounding absolutely incredible. Here’s your first taste of ...

“Foreground” yesterday while killing time on Twitter. I don’t
know how sold I am on the rest of their songs on Myspace, but Memoryhouse’s version of “Foreground” is ...

Local design wizards Cricket Press just put out a great new book compiling all their work into one convenient spot. Not only is it a completely beautiful addition to anything you already own, but they were nice enough to ask me to write the intro! Unfortunately that left me a little tuckered ...

And the line-ups get more all-starier! For the next installment of his record club, Beck corralled Wilco, Feist and Jamie Lidell to do a cover of Skip Spence’s album OAR. This might be the most solid-sounding recording to come out of the record club recordings, but that could just be ...

On Tuesday my co-worker found a promo DVD of an Ike & Tina show from 1971 buried away in a shelf of the record store. We popped it in and shortly thereafter had our minds blown for the next hour. Their performance packs more of a punch than 95% of concerts I’ve seen. Everyone has [...]

Anyone who’s lived more than a dozen or so years has to be an expert on something. Sometimes it’s just making the perfect cake, playing a favorite video game or celebrity impersonations — but it’s something. So occasionally I like to turn YANP over to a favorite musician ...

I’ve been hearing about Sesame Street everywhere this
week, what with this marking their 40th anniversary and
all. Finding this, however, had nothing to do with any of the nostalgia. I was doing some random wikipediaing and realized I’d ...
