INTRODUCING YOU TO BANDS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW, BUT TOTALLY SHOULD. Cœur De Pirate Coeur de Pirate is the stage name of Beatrice Martin and is one of my favorite new discoveries. Her work is mostly in French and though I was disappointed to realize she's not an actual pirate [...]
INTRODUCING YOU TO BANDS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW, BUT TOTALLY SHOULD. TV Girl It’s bands like TV Girl that give me a sense of nostalgia for mid-late 90’s alt-pop-rock. Weird reverb, hollow echoing effects and lyrics that cut through bullshit to the bare bones of relationship pack the songs from this [...]
[et_pb_section bb_built="1"][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type="4_4"][et_pb_text admin_label="Opening Text" _builder_version="3.0.97" background_layout="light"] First kid vs second kid. An epic battle that will never be won. Anyone with multiple children has exactly two types of kids. There’s the first baby you have, and then there’s all of the other ones. Almost without fail, we can [...]
INTRODUCING YOU TO BANDS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW, BUT TOTALLY SHOULD. Dressy Bessy I wish Dressy Bessy didn’t take a long hiatus in 2008. Really fun and vibrant pop from earlier albums had evolved into upbeat pop/punk reminiscent of The Dance Hall Crashers, as the band strengthened in the three albums [...]
My dad has Alzheimer's. I wrote this for my kids should it hit me me one day. Hey you two. As I write this it’s 2014 and you are only 7 and 5 (though you like to remind me that you’re 7 and a half, which technically isn’t true). K, you [...]

Nadia Cakes, a bakery with locations in Minnesota and California recently uploaded a picture of a very impressive geode cake that would impress any Geologists out there. Unfortunately, there are a lot more non-rock-enthusists out there who saw something more likely to be in a biology book. They all [...]
INTRODUCING YOU TO BANDS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW, BUT TOTALLY SHOULD. The Knife This is the third time in the past 6 weeks of Playlist Elevated that a band from Sweden is the highlight, and I’m not targeting that area at all. Initially I was going to use this week to [...]
When my kids get gifts from childless people, it's typically a very nice gesture. Someone went out of their way to get something your child will hopefully love. At face value, it’s wonderful and it really should be the thought that counts. But the reality usually goes a little [...]
[et_pb_section bb_built="1"][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type="4_4"][et_pb_text] INTRODUCING YOU TO BANDS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW, BUT TOTALLY SHOULD. Mr. Heavenly In the past I’ve written about Modest Mouse and Man Man. Members of those two excellent bands comprise two thirds of Mr. Heavenly. The final, also no slouch, comes from the marvelous band Islands. Mixing [...]
