I just felt like posting this after seeing it in a Facebook feed. It's great and I don't even mind that Mr. Cheatham once said that I had the "soul of a toaster." I actually kind of agree with him. Anyways, fuck nostalgia, but also, try to name something else being made around here that looks and sounds this original now days. This is a Wolfe-Stone video.

Highly recommended. Thanks to whoever booked this for Hailey's, I remember a time when line-ups like this were not a once and awhile thing there. Light Pollution's stab at the ever crowding electronic dream pop genre is a little too confused for me right now, sounding stuck between Matthew and the Arrogant Sea's thematic avant-folk and Fur's intergalactic ambiance. The other two performers tonight, Prince Rhama and Sleep ∞ Over, are two of the more exciting examples of what the genre has to offer right now. Prince Rhama's approach is very lavish and distinct incorporating spooky world music flourishes along with a disregard for song continuity. Even though they are off the wall the trio retain an organic interplay that sounds like a perfect fit for a live performance. I have been digging the stuff Sleep ∞ Over are coming out with mainly because their songs feel like songs and not just electronic meditations. There is not a whole lot of material by the group out there right now but I look forward to seeing what they have in store for the future. Of course a show this rad has to happen on a school night and when I am broke.

I think the thing I dislike most about Beach House is that Victoria Legrand is the niece of one of my musical heroes, film composer Michel Legrand. What a waste. I had never heard The Very Best before today but they sound like an indie pop Baha Men.
As we start to wind down here over the next few weeks, we thought it might be nice to catalogue all the interviews we've ever done in one post so that it'll be easy for anyone interested in reading them to do so without searching. Below is a list of every interview we've conducted on this website since 2006, and soon we'll have a link at the top of the page to this very post. And who knows, we might do one or two more before all is said and done. Enjoy!
