I'm Doing Fine In Alaska: June 2008 Mix
We did it! And we are only two weeks late! Apologies for the delay in this month's mix and please rest assured that it is definitely worth the wait. We are even so excited about all these songs that we will spare you the track reviews (for now, anyway). Saddle up for some new music from the likes of Port O'Brien, Western Fifth, Sigur Ros, and many more. A belated welcome to June indeed.
A Spanish 30: Broken Social Scene at Festival I don't know what your name is
The second half of our story, and now it's Showtime. Strap yourself in as the band goes through more highs and lows. Similarly, we make more pithy cultural observations and try to make ourselves seem even more important than normal. But hey, there are also videos to watch! And pictures! And Cranley jokes that no one gets! Cranley's Gonna Make It!
A Spanish 30: A musical 6-pack with Broken Social Scene or "Are We Cool?"
The following is the first half of a story about interviewing Broken Social Scene, hanging out with them a little bit, and then watching them perform what they called "our worst show ever." Due to circumstances explained in the footnote, we don't have all of the actual interview. So instead you get a weaving in and out of quotes, indirect quotes, travel journalism, bullshit, and starstruck fanboyism. Sort of like a 6-pack. A musical 6-pack.

 Annabel: "Boquet Mines"
Taken from "Now That We're Alive"
If emo-pop truly is making a comeback Kent, Ohio's Annabel are the leaders of the new school throwback sound. This song is a shining example of what you get when a band leaves their cool clothes at home and just plays solid rock music. |

Grand Archives
Grand Archives present an idea, an idea of sunny pop that can be pretty and spooky at the same time, but is a labor of love throughout. They also present "Crime Window", one of the most polarizing (and also best) songs of the year. And there's plenty of history, with lead singer Mat Brooke being a former Band of Horses member and all.
