I’m a fan of A Shoreline Dream’s self-released debut album, Avoiding The Consequences, and thought I’d pass on the new video for their track “Manhattan Beach.” A Shoreline Dream are working on an EP tentatively set for May with an LP expected to follow later this year. Preview the new song, “Cometa.”

There was enough hype about The Twilight Saga to ensure that I had no interest whatsoever. Every time a herd of folks are spouting off about something like a movie or a president, you can be sure its a result of mass media manipulation and nothing else. I’ll find my panacea elsewhere. I do like this song though.

I’m into the Super Bowl match-up tonight, but as usual there’s an extended half time with medleys and other things I care not about. While I do understand that businesses exist to make money, I wish the NFL would put a governor on what goes on between the halves. If I was attending the game I would use the interim to hit the loo, check out the sights, and grab some refreshments; taking my time to return only once the game was about to begin. Regardless, it is what it is and I’m gonna have a good time anyway. And yes, that is the LOST blast door map above.
Field Music’s Peter and David Brewis have always impressed me with their highly adept pop composing skills. Their new album Measure makes no exception. It’s high compliment when I say Measure has all the charisma of Steely Dan sans the jazz element, amidst an open air of the best end of the 70’s / early 80’s rock & pop that you’ve never heard before. If you didn’t know it, these guys are way more talented than your previous favorite band. Measure comes out on the 16th of this month. I also highly recommend Peter’s The Week That Was.

Anglo-French indie folk collective Uniform Motion bring a nice set of eight pale moon episodes on their forthcoming album, Life, out next week. Nice acoustic filled lines, effected vocals, and visual illustrations to aid a parched spirit. This one gets better after each rotation. No sophistry needed.

Josh McIntyre, aka Little Girls, was such a fan of the latest Beach House album that he decided to cover “10 Mile Stereo.” Little Girls will be releasing a 7-inch split, Volume 2 of Best of Both Records, a Toronto/ Oslo based label that does splits with bands from both cities. It will feature the track “////////” by Little Girls and a new track by Oslo band Pirate Love.
