‘Point Breeze’ official video has arrived!  Our new album Fast Forward is available now.

Sure their records are amazing, but the live show is where it’s at with Landlady. I’ve seen them three times now in two different cities, and Adam Schatz and the crew really bring it every time. They take the most distracted, timid audience and turn them into a pack of wild John Blutos. Ok so I’m exaggerating a bit (that probably wouldn’t be a super fun concert anyway), but the point is, you HAVE to see Landlady live.

And be sure to pick up the tape when you’re there. It’s always fun to have music in its physical form, and tapes fit your hand (and wallet) so nicely!

Graduated from college, so I’m rebranding this as a cool music blog. Just moved to LA, so here’s my first post!

De Lux is an LA band that sings about LA and is released on LA label Innovative Leisure. They're also 68% identical to the Talking Heads.

Favorite song of the week! Favorite song of the month actually! Don’t let the clown costume scare you. Courtney’s slick rhymes, dead-pan vocals, and too-cool attitude combine for an aggressively good time.

Oh my god this song is perfect! The melodies and lyrics are so beautiful, and the backing instruments are intricately crafted into a total masterpiece. Just have a listen for yourself. Super cool music video to boot!

You need to listen to Noveller. Imagine Explosions In The Sky but more soundscape-y. This is seriously dramatic and intensely beautiful. Remember to tune into KWUR Clayton 90.3 FM tomorrow 5-6pm to hear my show!
