The Weekly Graboid

August 31, 2010
B000mr9dwc The Yellow Stereo — The Weekly…or for this occasion, “Monthly” Graboid is back once again after another lengthy absence. No excuses, but it’s here and there is more than enough new stuff to sample for the month of August.  As of right now I can promise updates on TY... read more »

untitled

August 10, 2010
The Yellow Stereo — Janelle Monáe isn’t even halfway through her 20s, but when you listen to her music, it seems like she already has a lifetime’s worth of ideas bursting out of her head. Trying to place her music into a genre will tend to lead to awkward combinati... read more »

The Weekly Graboid

August 03, 2010
Default_artist_40px The Yellow Stereo — Between the many great albums out this week, coupled with those missed from last week, going to the record store would provide quite the headache in what to pick up other than Arcade Fire’s latest. Obviously, the band’s third album, The Suburbs, ... read more »

The Weekly Graboid

July 20, 2010
The Yellow Stereo — This week’s releases include new stuff from The Books (their first in about five years) and These United States. The former sets the tone of weird that I sampled from some of the albums this week. There may not be a lot from artists you’ve heard ... read more »

A Wedding Mix :: Andy & Elyse

July 18, 2010
0724349499553_182_thumb40 The Yellow Stereo — It seems as though all of our past/current writers here at The Yellow Stereo have gotten married over the past few years.  In 2007, Pablo tied the knot and in response I decided to hastily put together a mix of songs I would want to hear at a wed... read more »

Cut Copy :: “Where I’m Going”

July 16, 2010
2036015-208317724_thumb40 The Yellow Stereo — Before heading out to Pioneer Park yesterday afternoon, I decided to give the new Cut Copy track a spin while driving around in the hot sun. It’s a great summer jam to let loose with the windows down; cruising around to the thumping beats, exube... read more »

Belle & Sebastian debut new song live; tour dates + new album news

July 15, 2010
The Yellow Stereo — After sitting around for a couple of hours yesterday putting together a Belle & Sebastian mix for a friend of mine, it only made perfect sense that this video had to surface of a brand new track titled “I Didn’t See It Coming” being performed ... read more »

Panda Bear :: “Slow Motion”

July 15, 2010
The Yellow Stereo — I’ve been listening to Panda Bear’s (Noah Lennox) B-side, “Slow Motion” for several days now and have been enjoying it quite a bit. This track comes via a limited 7″ single from Paw Tracks, the first of a series of singles to be released on diffe... read more »

The Weekly Graboid

July 13, 2010
Default_artist_40px The Yellow Stereo — This week’s new releases kicks off with two major releases in the form of M.I.A.’s /\/\ /\ Y /\ (or M A Y A?  Whatever version you prefer.) and the collaborative album Dark Night of the Soul from Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse (the late Mark Linkou... read more »

[video] The Pains of Being Pure at Heart :: “Say No To Love”

July 12, 2010
The Yellow Stereo — Another day, another video from Pains — they seem to be releasing these at a torrid pace as of late.  The single for “Say No To Love” was released last month on Slumberland, so go get it!  At this point, I just want to hear new details about the ... read more »

Blonde Redhead :: “Here Sometimes”

July 12, 2010
B0001efuj6 The Yellow Stereo — Towards the end of last month, Blonde Redhead released a brand new song on their website (one of those downloads in exchange for an email address that seems to be the craze these days).  At the time, no announcement of a new record was made, just... read more »

Of Montreal announce tour dates; visit SLC in October

July 12, 2010
3238912_thumb40 The Yellow Stereo — With the numerous times that I’ve skipped out on seeing Of Montreal in both Atlanta and Athens, the fact that the band is stopping by Salt Lake City on their recently announced tour provides a perfect opportunity to see them for the first time. ... read more »

The Weekly Graboid

July 06, 2010
Default_artist_40px The Yellow Stereo — It’s been a long while since I’ve done the Graboid, so I imagine the aftermath of the 4th of July weekend is as best a time of any to shake any kind of rust off. In the time between posts, I’ve pretty much managed to completely lose track of albu... read more »

Solanin – For The Sky

July 05, 2010
Default_artist_40px The Yellow Stereo — Amy Klein knows how to do epic. You may recognize her as the extremely joyful one who plays violin and guitar in the current lineup of Titus Andronicus (whose album The Monitor, is certainly nothing less than epic.) Her solo project, Solanin, pro... read more »

Independence Day

July 04, 2010
4751-437805873_thumb40 The Yellow Stereo — Ah, that joyous American holiday often celebrated with beers, picnics and things blowing up – all in the name of freedom and democracy. I feel like I should be inserting some Bruce Springsteen songs or, if we’re going with the theme of bands that... read more »

School of Seven Bells :: ‘Disconnect from Desire’

July 02, 2010
3411347-642648446_thumb40 The Yellow Stereo — In 2008, School of Seven Bells quietly released their debut album Alpinisms, and while it may have not immediately splashed onto the scene, I would say it’s had a lasting impression in the time since its release — at least for for myself. This o... read more »

…And We’re Back!

July 02, 2010
The Yellow Stereo — After and unintentionally long hiatus, The Yellow Stereo is back and ready for business. About a month ago, the site went down rather abruptly due to overwhelming hosting bills. I received messages from people thinking I decided to stop bloggin... read more »

May 31, 2010
The Yellow Stereo — After a short campaign that begun earlier this week to get the film’s Facebook page to 100,000 fans, a brand new and surprisingly long trailer for Scott Pilgrim vs the World has been released. I honestly wasn’t expecting a two and a half minute ... read more »
