So I just came across what sounds like a lovely studio on Guerrero and 16th on Craigslist. Here actually. Its a bit more than I’d really like to pay, but I really would absolutely adore having my own space. Love the boys but DAMN if they aren’t the loudest creatures on the planet.

“China represents rock bottom for the music industry, especially on the economics of the creative side. The CD business has evaporated, and the businesses that have risen it its wake don’t help artists. Yet China Mobile and Baidu are making something like $2 billion a year indirectly from music, so there’s clearly a business in there somewhere. It just doesn’t extend to...

10 Musicans Are Welcome To My New Years Party
We already had our Christmas Party here at IODA, and it was a blast. So I’m amending the idea with 10 Musicans I Want To Invite To Our New Years Eve Party: 1. Pop Levi- Nevermind, just the adorable bassist. Speaking of which, something I need to listen to RIGHT NOW. Brillant! (basically my hero.) 2. Sufjan Stevens- wings for everyone! 3. Devendra Banhart- because you can never have...

This is #2 of #25 favorite songs on one of my favorite blogs, Nailler9. Its the first song that it feels like I’m not using my ears to listen to but my mouth, crunching on it. Its an incredible track that could’ve never been made 20 years ago. It relies so heavily on samples, and microphones, and amplification and mixing, that there’s nothing organic about it. It’s the...

Rilo Kiley - Xmas Cake.mp3 (audio/mpeg Object) →
Via Taylor McKnight I must say, I generally like a band MORE after seeing a them live but my love for Rilo Kiley has diminished significantly since seeing them at the Warfield. Perhaps a double-whammy combo of their shitious new ablum and Jenny Lewis’s on-stage princess persona, but their songs just don’t hit me in the chest like they used to. This one is a goodie nonetheless.
