Pronounced "Number 3", jj's newest nº 3 is a mixed bag. Although there is one bright light at the end of the tunnel: jj is a zillion times better than The xx.
Their freshman album, nº 2, was a major hit with many. At first, I couldn't sit through it. But soon thereafter it grew...

The current pride of Brooklyn, Fang Island, has had many ups and downs in the past few weeks. I don't even know if you could write it like it has happened: Fang Island got a new van, released their first full length album, began preparing for their upcoming national support tour... then had their...

When someone recommends me an album, or I get sent some EPK from some small label/no label band or artist, I really try my best to give them credit where credit is due. But sometimes... I have to play the devil. Judge and jury indeed.

There is a type of music that I feel never really caught on in this scene. Did you people ever listen to Colour Revolt?

Sometimes we jump into some bad music, filled with nasty production or unfulfilling melodies, and we're left with... well, bad...

In this: Xiu Xiu, Fang Island, Joanna Newsom, Husky Rescue, and Best Coast reviews. Maxi helps out with the outro music as well.
Errors: A few plural errors here and there. I said the cover of "Peach, Plum, Pear" was a cover by John Nolan. Although correct, it was actually by Straylight Run (probably just...

I guess you would call her a heartthrob, right? Jonathan Taylor Thomas is to girls in the early to mid 90s as Joanna Newsom is to hipster boys of the now. Although, I'm personally frank towards the stylings of Sara Quin (second only to the girl from Baggy Time I suppose), Joanna Newsom is...

I don't know if the title says it at all, but the Bay Area's watered down version of The Cure, Xiu Xiu, has produced another awkward-rock album. The sad thing about this album is that there is a crowd for it... and at times, I see myself actually liking some of it.
First off, how...
