Recs from Secret Dakota Ring
Andy from Secret Dakota Ring gets his say in some great underground artists: Rocketship Park They made the best record of 2007, “Off and Away”. I believe Travis (SDR drummer and Serious Business Records head-honcho) started recording them and immediately offered to put out their record. This in my type of pop music: smart, gorgeous, [...]
Recs from Theresa Andersson
Here’s my list of my fave 5 indie artists from NOLA (in no particular order); The Bally Who: The Duffourc brothers’ band sometimes comes as a pair, sometimes with a marchingband or …you never really know who they’re going to be but i love them. They’re like the velvet underground bumping into the muppets on [...]
Recs from Eleni Mandell
Eleni Mandell is a supremely talented and critically acclaimed songwriter with a singular gift for writing wry, literate songs that synthesize jazz, country, folk, blues, rock and pop. “ARTIFICIAL FIRE” builds on her 2007 breakthrough, Miracle of Five, adding a more direct, full-band sound to Mandell’s sharp-edged tales of romance, lust and love. Here are [...]
Recs from The Bigger Lights
“Dog Problems” by The Format (RIP) – While the band is now defunct, this record lives on as one of my favorite records of all time. Even as a young and relatively obscure band, The Format managed to create a body of work in this record that was mature, developed, and intricate. No two songs [...]

(There’s nothing better than wanting to be better) Darker My Love. Bring the love of swimming guitars and their accompanying amplifiers back to my ears. All of it floating [...]

The Onging History of New Music debuted in February 1993 on radio station 102.1 The Edge/Toronto. Since then it’s…well, it’s taken on a life of its own. Consider: More than 500 different one-hour episodes have been produced, making it the longest-running music documentary in Canada and one of the longest in North America. More than [...]
Recs from Preston Lovinggood of Wild Sweet Orange
Lizzy Grant is the perfect pop star in my opinion. not too nice not too mean and just sexy enough. she wears her obsessions on her sleeve. more artist should do that. more people need to get obsessed with things like Lizzy Grant. Modern Skirts are the most original indie pop band i have ever [...]
Recs from Lord Phallus (aka Rob Crow) of Goblin Cock
I, Lord Phallus of the mighty Goblin Cock deem the following records noteworthy and should be paid more attention to…. 1. Horrific Child – L’etrange Mr. Whinster This is a record that defies description. Somehow derivative yet genre-smashing. Every three minutes you will say to yourself “What the fuck is this?”, but in a new [...]
