B.R.A.M., Learning Music, juan, vosotros, woah No Comments »

Celebrate the holidays with Thrill Jockey - they’ve created an advent calendar (with some stunning snow flake graphics!) to give away an mp3 every day until the Christmas!!  TJ distributes a lot of great independent music … so you’re likely to find some gems.  vosotros listeners should be especially excited about DOOR #4.  The triumphant return of My Moon Boots … the perfect soundtrack for this holiday season!!!  [and while you're there, check out the vosotros catalog in their FINA download store]

The extended vosotros family got some serious love on Indie 103.1’s “check one, two” on Sunday evening.  Mark Sovel played “Messages” from B.R.A.M. and “A Window”, a song off Learning Music’s “The Greatest Hits So Far EP” [out now on vosotros - available from FINA for $5  and AmazonMP3 for $4.45! ].  Pick up this EP now - and catch Learning Music in full force on December 20th at pehrspace…

As you-all may remember, Gabe advanced to the finals of The Roots Remix Contest (thanks to your voting!!).  Well the final round is coming to close - you can listen to our submission on Indaba’s site - and please vote if you’re so inclined - but the winner of this round is up to the judges.  Gabe’s mix once again features The Years (gene coye -drums, sam barsh - keys, gabe - bass).

What’s up with cash only restaurants?  Taco truck … I get it.  Sit down restaurant that serves booze?  Not okay.  The other day I picked up a roll of quarters to do my laundry (it was so overdue that I was taping into the archives … clown pants, my smash mouth t-shirt, the whole 9).  Anyways, I was driving home from work and had a serious craving for some Pho … they’ve got no love for the visa/mastercard … but their soup is soooo good.  I decided I could rock the clown pants for one more day ….
