"You'll Always Be a Loser"?

Titus Andronicus played "Fallon" last night. Can a Terry Gilliam-directed webcast be far behind?

Last night was a big win for the losers! As Sound of the City pointed out, "It's been a real good week for the indie zeitgeist, that weird feeling of we made it!"

We're set to film with Mountain Man next week surrounding their show at The Living Room.

Titus Andronicus, "Sweater Song"

We're gearing up to film Titus Andronicus this weekend. In the meantime, we're loving their rendition of Weezer's "Sweater Song." As our friend Georgia Kral points out, "anytime anyone covers Weezer, the world smiles."

An Accidental Tribute

A few weeks before Alex Chilton passed away, El Perro Del Mar did an affectionate cover of "Blue Moon," a song by Chilton's band Big Star, during her show at Knitting Factory. It was the final song of the evening and Sara Assbring's eyes trembled with emotion as she belted out the song's pleading lyrics.

Our episode of Site & Sound featuring El Perro Del Mar's rendition of "Blue Moon" unexpectedly became a touching, if unintentional, tribute to the late great Chilton.

El Perro Del Mar Covers the xx

Last Wednesday we shot El Perro Del Mar's performance at the Knitting Factory for an upcoming episode of Site & Sound. That night, she covered the xx's "Shelter" and 4AD wondered if we'd be kind enough to share the video of this song with them. Sure thing.

Pitchfork posted the video today (below). The full Site & Sound episode should be ready next week. Enjoy!

High Frequency 'Love'

The episode of Site & Sound that we did with Bear In Heaven featured their thrilling song "Deafening Love." After posting the video, we stumbled upon this amazing unofficial music video for "Deafening Love" in which High Frequency Media mashes it together with a clever collection of footage from the 70s sci-fi thriller "Z.P.G" (which has since been added to our Netflix queue).
