Outside Lands 2011, Day One
Day One
by Joshua Krage
Sadly missed The Joy Formidable, but caught a kick-ass set from Brooklyn electro-dance rockers Phantogram at the Sutro stage. Next up, approximately 60% of the festival attendees showed up to watch Foster the People, who having recently been covered by Weezer, returned the favor with a blissfully stoned-out version [...]
Festivals: Outside Lands 2011
Outside Lands Festival, 2011
by Joshua Krage
Summertime– it’s festival season, and for any Northwestern U.S. residents (or really committed and globetrotting fans) this year’s Outside Lands Festival provided food, festivities, and (most importantly) a wide array of popular music artists to allow the 100,000+ attendees to cram half a year’s worth of shows into a single [...]
Festivals: Sasquatch!, 2010
If you can overlook long lines, shifty weather and people telling you when and where to drink the overpriced beer in your hand, then you would have survived this year’s Sasquatch Festival. Did we mention the live music? Because there was a lot of live music.
Even though Sasquatch didn’t harbor some of the big names [...]
MGMT Release Video For “Congratulations”
MGMT have finally brought us a video for their title track album Congratulations. The band always find new and absurd angles to visually stimulate us, but decided to keep everything calm this time around. Still absurd, though. Follow MGMT and some weird creature (in need of a few calcium pills) through the desert in their [...]

This week is all about voice, from radiant solo artists to large vocal ensembles to six string vocals to the strange voices that can be found from whatever instruments happen to be inhabiting your garage. Wonderful innovations await on this week’s list, look closely:
Amber Pacific
Jeff Beck, Emotion & [...]
MGMT Debut Video For “Flash Delirium”
It’s no real secret that MGMT’s upcoming album, Congratulations, has leaked. Very early. The band members are aware of this, so MGMT are congratulating (no pun intended) those of you who have been patient by allowing a free and early stream of the entire album on their website. Congratulations comes out April 13th, so don’t [...]
MGMT Unveil Album Art For Congratulations
Last week we filled you in on MGMT‘s new album Congratulations. It had been a long time coming, so it was comforting to see what the band had steadily been working on for the past year. In addition to the release date and track listing that we shared with you, this week we also have [...]
MGMT’s Congratulations Has A Release Date
You can easily get into a heated debate about how this band’s name should be pronounced, but one thing that no one will argue with you about is the release for their new studio album Congratulations. This is the follow-up to the 2008 debut Oracular Spectacular (the album that put MGMT on the map) and [...]
MGMT Premiere “Kids”
It seems as if you can find videos of MGMT’s song, “Kids,” online from anyone other than MGMT. Not that it’s necessarily a bad thing, but it’s about time we came across the official video from the official band.
I really like this video. It might be my inner guy-who-can’t-stand-screaming-babies, or it might just be that [...]
