SHARON VAN ETTEN – Tramp (Part 4)
Zach wraps up this week’s conversation on Tramp with a healthy dose of criticism. AudioVole’s therapist says this is expected behavior and that “sh*t can’t be fun and flowers all the time.” We’re going to have to ask to see his license.
SHARON VAN ETTEN – Tramp (Part 3)
Before Sarah sat down to respond to Zach, she whiled away her second consecutive night at a Jeff Mangum concert. She then proceeded to read Tramp in the light of An Aeroplane Over the Sea, which seems unfair. For those of you keeping track, AudioVole has now compared Sharon Van Etten’s Tramp to Bob Dylan going electric and An … Continue reading
SHARON VAN ETTEN – Tramp (Part 1)
Long time, no Sarah on AudioVole. That’s changing right…now! She would normally be excited to write a funny little blurb here but all of the listening to Sharon Van Etten has made “excitement” seem like an unworthy emotion available only to those who have never experienced heartbreak. And tweens. Anyway, read what she has to … Continue reading
Best Albums of 2011 (Part 4)
Their names might both be Chris but beyond that, Atto and Mollica are total oppositsies. In part 4, Chris Mollica unabashedly declares his love for all things Justin Vernon and four other really good albums. Despite the season of good cheer, we’re still not sorry for the “boner iver” joke from Part 1.
Best Albums of 2011 (Part 3)
Chris is pretty noncommittal when it comes to naming his top albums of 2011. To make him more comfortable, we’ll be referring to this list as “Chris Atto’s favorite albums during his lunch break on Tuesday, December 13, 2011 that were released in the past year.” He also mentions Zola Jesus’ elusiveness which might have … Continue reading
I knew I was an AudioVole when…
When was the first time you heard music? No, not the first Oldies song that you knew all the lyrics to or the Paula Abdul music video that you studied obsessively. When was the first time you realized music would become as important in your life as, say, three meals a day? When did music … Continue reading
SURFER BLOOD – Tarot Classics (Part 3)
Sarah explains the disappearance of Katie (don’t worry, she’ll come back around) and proposes a road trip to check out Surfer Blood opening for the Pixies in Asbury Park. Who’s in? The AudioVole caravan has room for more and, believe you me, it’ll be legendary.
SURFER BLOOD – Tarot Classics (Part 2)
Marites continues the conversation on Surfer Blood’s new EP Tarot Classics and confesses to walking out on the band a couple of years ago when they played in Vegas. She was really only there to see her friends play in the opening act so no hard feelings guys, right???
THE STROKES – Is This It (Pts 1-2)
Here at AudioVole, we hope that one of the discs taking up residence in your old Case Logic CD book is The Strokes’ first studio album Is This It. Let’s go crate-digging and revisit the year 2001 with Zach Evans and Marites Velasquez as they dissect and celebrate the 10th anniversary of Is This It.
SURFER BLOOD – Tarot Classics (Part 1)
Sarah, Marites, and AudioVole newcomer Katie Gallegos indulge in a 3-way conversation about Surfer Blood’s new EP Tarot Classics. Sarah kicks off the conversation but lobs the hard questions over to Marites and Katie because, as acting editor, she can do that. These three ladies also play in a band together and want you to … Continue reading
