Blank Dogs are actually singular: It's the insanely prolific one-man Brooklyn-based band of Mr. Blank Dog. We don't know too much about the biography of the guy behind the bedroom new-wave pop/punk and he's usually covering his face with masks...

Raleigh-via-Eau Clair BTW Megafaun debuted impressively earlier this year with Bury The Square. The trio nip-and-tuck experimental tendencies (tape splicing, white noise colliding with banjo, junkyard-laced spring reverb, screeching feedback at the tail end of a quiet back porch lament)...

Skeletal Lamping is anything but skeletal. When we took a close listen to album closer "Id Engager" we mentioned it wasn't the strangest, most ambitious, or best tune on of Montreal's new one, but after absorbing the other 14 tracks,...

USA Dude may be last week, but it's about 100,000x funnier, scarier, and more repeatable than "Apache."
Score = 0
Oh. My. GAWD!
Sincere posturing, outstretched arms, curly mullet, ripped jeans, cameltoe, pained close-ups, profile silhouette, blustery wind, fist-pumping, united-front lineup, rushing ocean waters... Wow! This video is like, ALL the 80s video cliches rolled into one.
Score = 0
Anyone else thing USA Dude was really Weird Al at first? Upon further inspection though, more like a cross between Weird Al and Daniel Day Lewis.
Score = 0
USA dude was horrible. He kept saying America as Uh-mer-UH-ca. So horrible. If you love it so much, say it RIGHT!. The third vowel is an "i." If that were his only transgression, I would let it slide.

Great job.

fuck you andrew, steve perry is a god.
also, my roommate and i have been gradually learning the apache dance. i would like to be one of those girls, but only if i didn't have to touch the keyboard player.

Oh. My. God. Those were two of the most painful things I've had the pleasure of enduring.
1)USA Dude rocks! Except replace the word "rocks" with the phrase "is totally out of place, and although earnest, is the new master of cheese."
2)I'm with Allie on this. I want to learn the dance. Not the ones the girls did, but the one the keyboardist is doing. If that isn't swank, I don't know what is.
