new Sunset Rubdown mp3s. the real thing.
Artists mentioned:fresh.you have me at first listen, here, which is usually an uncomfortable feeling from this reviewer's perspective. but so far i'll say i'm not only frustratingly impressed with the directions Krug has taken this project, but i'm also really delighted in his influences -- some choral elements, some big-band sounds,...(read full post)

Fionn Regan - The End Of History
Artists mentioned:i chose this pic because it's what his music sounds like. believe me.there are artists and lead singers whose lyrics mean more to them than the music they overlap. recently i can think of Voxtrot as being so guilty -- i can also site the vast majority of popular emo...(read full post)

Feist - The Reminder: Even Cowgirls Get The Blues
Artists mentioned:the unmistakable Feist has managed a move i truly didn't think was possible. somehow, in the spirit of both her old fans and her new, she produced a record that wavers, ever and always, between accessible and Feist. her country twangs, jamborees, pop madness, and mastered spunk ties it all...(read full post)

Field Music repost - bonus video
Artists mentioned:with just five minutes to post today, i want to repost on a band that really stood out from almost everything i found last year and has made it to at least six spots on my crazy iTunes "Top 25 Most Played" playlist. whoopee, i know. they're really quite something,...(read full post)

new Kings Of Leon - mp3 tripleblast
Artists mentioned:let me first just remind you that, pretty much as always, my Number One Goal is to stress the importance and the significance of the album. that means the whole thing, Track Uno to 10 or 12 or 15 or whatever. this is how, in my opinion, real bands get...(read full post)

limited time offer - NIN leak three
Artists mentioned:some of you may think this is just getting out of hand now, and i can understand that. if you have any complaints, you may file them here and i'll take them into consideration before posting about it again, but for now i feel like i'm almost obligated to keep...(read full post)

new The Sea And Cake for 2007
Artists mentioned:so far, 2007 is an insane year for music, and especially already-established bands. albums are leaking every which way (Modest Mouse, Arcade Fire, Kings Of Leon, Frog Eyes....), "indie" acts are overturning "pop" acts to debut at 12 on the Billboard album charts (Bloc Party, anyone?), and even random bands...(read full post)

more NIN; not the radio rip
Artists mentioned:i posted a few days ago [happy valentine's day] when the first song off of Year Zero leaked. it seems to have gotten a lot of people [including myself] excited, so i figured i'd continue the saga here and help you guys out.if you search the web [and maybe the...(read full post)

Low - Drums and Guns
Artists mentioned:i'm way too capable of overdosing. i guess i have that addictive personality thing going, and i'm pretty predictable in that once i find an album i love, i play it non-stop for the next 72 hours and then i'm kind of done with it, unless it's completely epic (Field...(read full post)

Feist - the latest.
Artists mentioned:yeah, okay.you haven't long to wait. and here's the first bit of it:::::Feist - My Man, My Moonit's glam and, admittedly, more accessible than anything she's ever done. irresistable. she plays up that charming swing, the lilt of her voice which is so can't-you-just-stand-it amazing. oh, you know i'm stoked....(read full post)

Let's Go Sailing - The Chaos In Order
Artists mentioned:opening my mail today, i very nearly fell over when, as i ripped open the cushy manila envelope, out tumbled the adorably animated cover of Let's Go Sailing. man, had i completely forgotten about this band! way back in the beginning of NfT, i took a liking to the mp3s...(read full post)

a real Valentine's Day gift - NIN [take 2]
Artists mentioned:okay. okay. i told you earlier today that the new layout was going to be a sort of gift for today.but i think i have better.i don't know who of you out there are following this thing, but apparently Trent Reznor [you know, the guy that is Nine Inch Nails]...(read full post)

an unconventional Valentine's Day gift
Artists mentioned:we here at NfT clearly love all of our adoring readers, and probably far more than you even know. i mean, you're definitely the reason we do this [or at least the reason shan does this, you'll notice i'm not visible on here unless there's some sort of technical issue]....(read full post)

a totally and completely unofficial and unorganized look at the 2007 Grammys.
Artists mentioned:i never, ever, ever remember to tune into award shows. actually, i never really remember to tune into any shows, ever. good thing there are ways to illegally obtain ripped tv copies, or i'd never follow a series in my life. i probably would have missed the final episode of...(read full post)
