If downloads were equivalent to album sales, OK Go's sophomore album, Oh No, would have already gone gold. The irreverent band's homemade, unofficial video for lead single \A Million Ways"" has earned the band the kind of attention that no publicist can create.
Although the official end of summer is still some weeks off and hopefully we have at least two months before the large sheets of ice move in, my tortured sinuses warn that it would be best to let go of my sandal-wearing ambitions soon.
How do you make God laugh?-Make a plan.
If something awful does not happen to the New Pornographers soon, the Vancouver band just might exhaust all of the complimentary adjectives in the modern indie rock lexicon. Catchy, tuneful, infectiously cheerful even when they are not trying to be and weird in the best, most agreeable way possible, A.C. Newman and friends have risen to the top of the power pop ranks with nary an unflattering remark to be heard.

Coming to college can be daunting. You have to share a room with a stranger, take classes and make new friends-even worse than all that, you have to adjust to the college music scene.
With finals rapidly approaching, coffee suddenly becomes more important than Ramen noodles. Since State Street's coffee shops will be filling up quickly next week, there are three shops south of campus to be aware of. A group of Daily Cardinal food writers checked out Muddy Waters, Indie Coffee and Electric Earth to see what they had in the way of java.
Hailing from Boston, Mr. Lif and Akrobatik have each carved a niche in the indie hip-hop circuit, creating quality music and a solid fan base in the process. Of late, they have worked together and, after combining with DJ Fakts One, have created The Perceptionists. Though each individual group member brings his own set of talents to the table, Black Dialogue is certainly greater then the sum of its parts.
New Order's Waiting for the Sirens' Call might be one of the most eagerly anticipated albums in recent memory. On one hand, the old fans hoped the group could rediscover their electronica roots, while indie hipsters looked for the source of a new wave revival. The former will likely be pleased, while the latter will discover that New Order is less accessible than most neo-New Wavers.

I often wish people had flashing signs over their heads to warn their peers: \Liar,"" ""Klepto,"" ""Best friend's ex,"" etc.
The Kills are suffering from an unfortunate and unwarranted identity crisis. First of all, their name: no, they are not The Thrills, nor are they The Killers. Next comes the composition of their group: they are a male-female rock duo.
This Saturday, the UW student radio station, WSUM, will host its annual all-day music festival Party In the Park. Starting at 11 a.m., James Madison Park will be filled with eager music enthusiasts there to enjoy 16 bands, 11 DJs, community performance groups and local vendors. There will be four stages to fill the demand of this year's lineup. The coveted headlining act is nationally renowned ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead.
Black Sheep Boy, Okkervil River's fourth full-length release, opens with a cover of Tim Hardin's \Black Sheep Boy"" and quickly evolves into a thematic concept album of staggering skill. Appropriating the emotion of Hardin's song, frontman Will Sheff puts on a songwriting clinic, expanding the black-sheep theme into a rollicking album of allegory and emotion.
It is a travesty among travesties. A trend is emerging as MTV, VH1 and other stations use the only good music left not for their prominent music videos, but for background music in shallow shows.
Do you realize that the best Indiana Jones surrogate seen in recent years is Brendan Fraser? Let's just ponder the ramifications of that for a moment.
One attractive aspect of the UW-Madison campus is the Terrace at Memorial Union. It is a place for students relax with some friends, drink a pitcher and when the weather gets warm, enjoy a bit of music while the westerly breezes roll off Lake Mendota.
Regarding Death Cab for Cutie, there is a vile word lurking in the background of the indie community. While those willing to utter it publicly are fortunately few in number, many more wait in the wings for the right moment to casually let it slip from their lips over a cup of joe at a caf?? or some other hipster hangout. That word is \sellout,"" and there is no more damning word in the indie lexicon.
It was inevitable, I suppose. Spending five years somewhere changes a person. Boys become men. Baby faces grow stubble. Promising young scholars discover the joys of alcohol. But I never anticipated the latest change in me. In my last semester of college, it finally happened.
Whether or not you recognize either sadcore or dreampop as legitimate musical subgenres, both of these compound adjectives effectively describe the output of New York indie outfit Ida.
