		<description><![CDATA[Jason Pierce of Spiritualized, even after a close brush with death, released a post-recovery album this year that has quickly become one of my favorites. It is, in fact, my go-to record after a trying day. Songs in A&#38;E is a beautiful collection of poignant songs that, frankly, we are lucky to even have the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently went to see a show in Brooklyn. Typical. What was not so typical, however, were the band who graced my ears upon arrival at the Silent Barn.

First things first-the Silent Barn is in Ridgewood&#8230;just south of the Brooklyn-Queens border. That is Woods playing the Silent Barn in the picture above. If you look [...]]]></description>

All right. I will admit it: I missed the first song of the Metropolis Ensemble. Apparently [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few prerequisites before naming your band &#8220;The Dodos&#8221;:
1. More than 50% of the band should be relatively good looking in an effort to avoid too close of a connection between the band name and the band members
2. Your music should be pretty good so as to avoid the label of a &#8220;joke band.&#8221; (Note: [...]]]></description>

It’s always risky to pass judgment on a band solely based on their live performances without ever having listened to their recordings. Especially when you convince yourself after a live set to buy the bands’ CD’s. We’ve all been there: “God this band is good…so tight, so energetic. I’m going to buy their album after [...]]]></description>

Although I&#8217;ve been listening to this EP since it leaked on March 12 (nearly 2 months before its scheduled release date), I somehow haven&#8217;t lost interest in its pop-driven goodness and atmospheric &#8220;mysterrrry.&#8221; Enough online music blogs have creamed themselves over this band and everything they do [pitchforkmedia.com, looking at you, buddy], so I&#8217;ll save [...]]]></description>

What is it about lo-fi punk bands that drives everyone crazy [in the good way...] these days?  What with the phenomenal debut full-length from LA&#8217;s No Age and the long-standing underground successes of garage noise punk a la Japanther, Mika Miko, Black Lips, etc, it&#8217;s almost as if the lo-fi recording quality of some [...]]]></description>

On April 26, 2008, the Terrace Eating Club of Princeton was graced with not one, but two of the most exciting/noisy bands in music today.  One might ask&#8230;&#8221;Who, Steven?

Hailing from Baltimore, the [mother ****'n] Death Set (as they are so apt to call themselves) pretty much fulfill every expectation one might have of a thrash-punk trio in the realms of song execution and composition&#8211;their EP, To, is a screaming blast-through of 7 songs within 12 minutes, with no song containing a progression involving more than 3 [...]]]></description>
