BEIRUT – The Rip Tide (Part 4)
Cutter lays the smack down and establishes himself as the more mature, level headed reviewer in this final leg of The Rip Tide dialectic. He also informs Brandon that if he may be more “hopeless” than “romantic,” which, I’ll be honest, kind of stung a little bit.
BEIRUT – The Rip Tide (Part 3)
“If the National are a one trick pony, their trick is giving blowjobs.” That’s right. Brandon took the “one trick pony” metaphor a step further and maybe a step too far. That, at the end of an already long-ass post. Dude had a lot to say. Most of it’s interesting though, I promise.
BEIRUT – The Rip Tide (Part 2)
Cutter argues that The Rip Tide is Condon’s most personal effort to date and, therefore, his favorite. He also goes to town bludgeoning a one trick pony metaphor to the point that we had to call in the Humane Society to get the son of a bitch to lay off. Hide yo wife, hide yo … Continue reading
BEIRUT – The Rip Tide (Part 1)
Brandon pens a lovely letter to his old friend, Cutter Davis, about his inability to get laid in college. It may or may not have anything to do with Beirut’s third LP, The Rip Tide, out now on his very own imprint, Pompeii. Is this young Zach Condon’s holding pattern or a harbinger for the … Continue reading

Washed Out this Friday
He signed to Sub Pop and released an album with my favorite cover of the year. Not because it’s two folks knockin’ the boots (I don’t think). Doesn’t it just feel odd to you? It’s a little too evenly lit, a little too in focus. And the sheet beneath them looks like crumpled paper. Plus, … Continue reading
YACHT’s Shangri-La Dialectic This Friday
YACHT are…um…an enigma of sorts. “Band. Belief System. Business.” The “belief system” is the part that gets me. They’re really into electronic music, science fiction, and may be vying for cult status, which, as far as cults go, I think I could be kind of into. Here’s the song “Dystopia” from their new album Shangri-La. … Continue reading
Crate Digging Dialectic this Friday!
So, this Friday, we’re going to do something a little different. We’re going back. Way back. To 1994 – the best year EVAH! Specifically, we’re dusting off our copy of Green Day’s Dookie. Can it possibly hold up some 17 years and 20 gazillion copycats later? Allow me to jog your memory:
Talkin’ Woods this Friday
3 years. 3 albums. And none of them suck? No. None of them suck. Here’s first single, “Pushing Onlys,” from newest LP Sun and Shade out June 14th via Woodsist. Check back Friday for the Sun and Shade dialectic!
