unpiano: music — Sort of can’t wait for the new Caribou album which seems like it’s gonna be filled with dance music. I guess that’s one of the awesome things about having complete control of your band. If you make some indie rock albums and then want to rock the... read more »

unpiano: music — Wow.. I’m so late with this that I may as well not even post it. I think by now this song has even been on that show Gossip Girl so I’ll make this brief for anyone who hasn’t heard these guys yet. Miike Snow are a trio of friends from Sweden (sur... read more »

unpiano: music — I’ve missed Jonny Ollsin for some time now. First it was the demise of Vancouver metal band S.T.R.E.E.T.S. with whom he played guitar that triggered that sadness, and then some time later, it returned when his band Children broke up. Luckily Jonn... read more »

unpiano: music — Nancy’s cover of ‘Let Me Kiss You’ is from her 2004 self titled album and rivals Morrissey’s version in the best ways. It’s always nice to hear the same Morrissey phrasing sung by a woman’s voice, makes me think of those old Sandie Shaw covers. A... read more »

unpiano: music — I never really got too deep into goth bands, so every time I unearth some good songs from the early nineties it’s like Christmas morning around here. My girlfriend spent most of the evening on Sunday night looking for songs she used to like when ... read more »

unpiano: music — Oh yeah.. forgot about these guys until I needed something to make this evening’s cold bike ride bearable. This is exactly why I have kept huge books of cds for the last ten years. When I need a rare gem that I can’t find online, I just flip the ... read more »

unpiano: music — I keep reading about how they are gonna take all the cars off of Market Street in San Francisco and make it more bike friendly. That’s great and all but I keep wondering how much longer I’ll get to go really, really fast and dodge in between cars... read more »

unpiano: music — Whew.. you made it. Hopefully you can breathe a sigh of relief and know that you dodged whatever bullets you had coming in 2008. This year coming up is gonna be a great one, you just watch and see. Fucking magic. Anyways, here is to all my friend... read more »

unpiano: music — //photo by estevan oriol Damn.. new Snoop album just came out recently and he killed it. I think at this point he is pretty much infallible, with even the corny stuff finding a place in my heart due to some amazing guest spots (what’s up R. Kelly... read more »

unpiano: music — It’s freezing cold, raining like crazy and I’ve been trapped in the house all day trying to entertain my two stir crazy kids. I’ve played a thousand games of Jenga, built forts, built Legos, taught a few dirty jokes, broken up fights and showed t... read more »

unpiano: music — Whether you are flying through the sky to get home to the people you love o you are hunkering down drink in hand with some friends or you are neck deep in snow getting through the city.. know that you made it through the holidays and all you have... read more »

unpiano: music — This freezing cold morning could not have had a more perfect soundtrack than the first track off this Grass Widow LP. The bare production has a cold feeling of its own, giving the guitar strings and snare shots a punchy, almost hollow sound that ... read more »

unpiano: music — Woods continues to make my day every time I hear something new from them. My friend put me on to a couple of their songs a while back and somehow they make me walk a little more determined in the brisk winter air. Have you heard that Graham Nash ... read more »

unpiano: music — This is one of those anomaly songs where a notoriously shy and shoegazy band gets all tough for a second and it actually works. It reminds me of artist Jeffrey Brown who drew comics like Every Girl Is The End Of The World For Me and Miniature Sul... read more »

unpiano: music — Wow, I’ve been waiting for someone to resurrect the Tiger Trap/Aisler’s Set reverb-soaked-girl-group thing for a long time, and LA’s Best Coast have nailed it. Comprised of 1/2 the trippy/folky Pocohaunted, this new 7″ was a welcome surprise. A w... read more »

unpiano: music — Coasting is a really new band. So new in fact that their recordings sound like a practice session where they left their dictaphone running on record. I think I read that they have only been together for a couple of months so I’m not sure what po... read more »

unpiano: music — Oh, hello Monday. It’s rainy and cold in San Francisco right now and sometimes it can be really hard to roll out of bed on a wet, gray morning. Luckily, there is something really relatable to that feeling in the chords Johnny Thunders plays throu... read more »

unpiano: music — I hardly got to see anybody last night at the Sandy Kim opening so what better way to make up for that then by playing a bunch of Smiths and having some drinks. It’s not back officially, but tonight is a one-off Smiths Night which really doesn’t ... read more »
