In our constant attempt to make folks feel old, we thought we'd mention that not only is 2008 the year NMH's In The Aeroplane Over The Sea reached the decade mark, but on 4/14 (4/15 in North America, bub), Air's... CONTINUE READING AIR'S MOON SAFARI TURNS TEN NEXT WEEK»

There's a connective thread running from Fujiya & Miyagi's eponymous-chanting electro and Pocket Symphony standout "Mer Du Japon," at least in their swaths of sound.

Stereogum's heroes take the minimalist route on the video for the first single from Pocket Symphony, playing through "Once Upon A Time"'s sparse and spacey textures in a black room and with a shamisen playing geisha. The music is ripe... CONTINUE READING NEW AIR VIDEO - "ONCE UPON A TIME"»

I'm reluctant to keep posting these what-song-was-on-TV updates, since it's only interesting when a cool song gets picked up by a shitty show/commercial, but Veronica Mars fans crave attention, and it gives me an excuse to write about Britt Daniel....
