Ben and Bobby of the NYC outfit Benyaro hung out at the station last Wednesday, played some tunes and shot the shit about their new album, making music in New York City, and why I wasn't wearing pants during the interview (I think I was, but Bobby might disagree). The interview was excellent, and they also played a few rad new songs, which you can grab below!InterviewBullet Like Belief (off

Well, it seems as if 2009 is suddenly half-way over. Here's some of what I've enjoyed thus far:Thee Oh Sees - Help [In The Red] / Zork's Tape Bruise [Kill Shaman] / Tidal Wave 7" [Woodist] / The Drag 7" [Castle-Face]: It's already been a productive year for John Dwyer and company. I can't get enough of their reverb-heavy psyched-out garage goodness and it seems as of recent, they've had no

The Crocodiles show at The Firebird on Wednesday has had a lot of coverage in the last couple of days, mostly because it didn't happen. You can read more about it on the RFT's blog A To Z, which posted an initial report here and followed up with Crocodiles' response here. Listening to the interview post-show kind of reinforces my understanding that it was a shitty situation, and that neither

What struck me most about MJ passing was how quickly I knew about it. I was in a supermarket and suddenly, a breaking news thing about someone going to the hospital, I didn't catch who it was. As I walked down the street, I heard people whispering about how Michael Jackson was dead. I walked into a bodega and they were playing "Rock With You" on the radio. I asked the clerk - and it's gotta be

Awhile ago, Jon Hardy (of Jon Hardy + The Public) was in the station to discuss the band's new EP "Little Criminals" (available for free download from the RFT and KDHX) and how they made this totally fucking awesome music video, among other things. You can download the interview HERE, and as an added bonus, there are a few songs from the EP sprinkled throughout. Hoping to have these guys back

(excellent poster design courtesy of Bob Hartzell)A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of speaking with Phil and Elroy from Cut Off Your Hands about the New Zealand music scene, departed band members, how their sound is progressing, and what it really means to stand around the water cooler at work. They played the Firebird with Viva Voce, and all bands involved put on a killer show. The

Okay kids, listen up. Summer’s here and you know what that means: cold beer, hot pavement, and even hotter live band action in KWUR’s very own CD/vinyl stacks. We’ll be covering concerts around town, interviewing bands, and hosting them in the KWUR lounge/recording studio for live, in-studio performances. You can always listen live (you really should), but in case you miss it we’ll be posting

A couple of months ago, then-promotions director Amanda and I sat down and had a conversation with Eulogies and Bad Veins when they came through town. We recorded both interviews and, like many interviews with KWUR (coughNirvanacough), they sat on a dusty hard drive (mine) for months before someone (me) even thought about letting them see the light of day. My laziness aside, I finally got

Sonic Youth's 16th studio album, The Eternal, drops on Tuesday.Not including the wonderful SYR series, it'll be their first full-length indie label release since 1988's now classic Daydream Nation (as recognized by the Library of Congress National Recording Registry).If you were lucky enough (or really just had the disposable cash-money) to pre-order from Matador, you'll get a nifty bonus LP

So we'll be going live with JH&TP pretty soon (6PM CST), and in the process of getting ready for the interview, I stumbled upon this:Little Criminals from Jon Hardy & The Public on Vimeo.The song is a cover of Randy Newman's Little Criminals, and the video is one of the most visually arresting things I have seen in quite some time. Be sure we'll be talking about that, among other things. So....

Meet Anamanaguchi. Here's how they describe themselves: "Anamanaguchi makes loud, fast music with a hacked NES from 1985." Here's what Oh My Rockness has to say: "Guitarist/Programmer Peter Berkman hacks into an original Nintendo and manipulates its sound chip to create, along with Ary Warnaar and James DeVito, some of the catchiest and most delightful rock-outs you'll hear."

It's time for Conan O'Brien to take over the "Tonight Show." Finally, I can go to bed an hour earlier and still catch the best show in late night television.This all started back in 2004, when NBC feared Conan, who had the highest 12:30 slot ratings, would jump to another network and take his coveted male 18-35 demographic with him. So, against all odds, they promised him the Tonight Show five
