Ever thought the world needs more singer/songwriters who make sad, experimental music alone in their basements and make band names for themselves even though they don’t have a band?

What’s more disturbing than Devendra Banhart’s face? Devendra Banhart’s naked body. On the cover of Megapuss’s debut release, Banhart and bandmate Greg Rogove are knife-wielding and in the nude. This new side project of Banhart’s is a result of a game he and Rogove would play before live shows. They

Imagine you had a magical martini shaker and put in the heavy, reverb guitar of the White Stripes’ first album, the catchy three-chord riff of the Kinks, and some surf-rock vocals from the Beach Boys. You’d be serving up a Ty Segall cocktail. His debut self-titled album blows away the

I’m a strong proponent of listening to music that’s mood appropriate. On a bleak October day, I found the perfect album that legitimizes the blues without necessarily perpetuating them.

Stephin Merritt records under many monikers, but The Magnetic Fields are arguably his most popular project. Merritt tends to create unique themes that run along perfectly with an album’s title. The 1999 box set 69 had 69 love songs, and the 2004 release I contained all tracks that began with

Artists from Seattle are generally passed to the local music director at KUPS 90.1 FM, but I, the alternative music director, grabbed Kiss Her For the Kid’s new release, Prettier Than Me. Since the “one guy with a drum machine and laptop” sound has become quite popular and the alternative
