EXCLUSIVE Interview: Cory Branan
He’s been compared to Ryan Adams and Conor Oberst by Rolling Stone. His newest album has drawn rave reviews from Playboy and Blender. His influences range from Cole Porter to Mark Twain to Henry Miller to Strong Bad. And Lucero sang about him. here
Aisle Say Movies: Science of Sleep
Wow, I have had a habit of seeing movies lately that are directed by artists who have a resume of working with musicians. Michel Gondry like my other Aisle Say subjects is perhaps more well known. You may recognize his video work with Bjork, Beck, Kylie Minogue and Kanye West. The multi-layered director even plays drums on Kanye's "Diamonds From Sierra Leone" on his most recent album "Late Registration." here
EXCLUSIVE Interview: Midlake
In 2006, Midlake released The Trials of Van Occupanther, the band's second full length release on the Bella Union label. Formed in Denton, Texas at the University of North Texas, the band has crossed various musical landscapes in their seven years together. here
EXCLUSIVE Interview: 120 Days
One of the newest bands on the influential US label, Vice Recording, is 120 Days, a self-described Kraut-techno band from Norway. here
EXCLUSIVE Interview: KissKill Destroyer
During the past five years, KissKill Destroyer has evolved from an indie band (then known as the Jaded Set) playing around the Pacific Northwest to a dark wave/dance rock band based out of Baltimore. here
EXCLUSIVE Interview: The Decemberists
The Portland-based band the Decemberists released their fourth full-length album, The Crane Wife, on October 3, 2006. The highly-anticipated release marked the band’s first record with Capitol Records. here
Reviews: Die Maschinen in San Francisco
The night started out with Makita in the main room on the decks. His style is loud, fast; bang your mom kind of music. Very underground stuff that nobody’s usually heard of. My favorite, although nobody dances to it because god forbid someone would dance to a song that they’re not familiar with. here
