So something kinda cool happened this week! The Faunts video that we made for the song “M4 (Part II)” is on MTVu’s “Freshman Five” this week, competing against four other videos. The video that gets the most votes (you can vote as many times as you like, as long as you don’t use an automated voting system) goes into rotation at MTVu, which means it’ll be getting 20-25 spins per…
Matt Wertz is from Liberty, Missouri, but has called Nashville, Tennessee, home for the last seven years. It seems fitting that he would be writing his own biography on the cusp of his first major label release, just as he did eight years ago before releasing his first independent album. This time, though, he’s not trying to play it off like he didn’t write it. Matt goes on to say…
NeuFutur #6 – At one point in this zine the editor mentions that in the past, his writing has been criticized for being too impersonal. And I would agree with him. Even after he throws in some “personal narrative” it just seems very rigid and reserved. The writing covers – a look at the ENDA, vague insturctions for an electric bicycle, zine and music reviews, a warning about crazed Christian…
If there’s one thing that can be said about Long Island’s BAYSIDE, it’s that their relationship with fans has always been paramount. In keeping with this level of respect for their audience, they’ve decided to release the track listing of their upcoming album Shudder on Victory Records (release date: September 30, 2008). Produced by David Schiffman (Weezer, Jimmy Eat World, Johnny Cash), Shudder is the follow-up to 2007’s critically-acclaimed release…
Individuals that have been around the music scene for a few years will undoubtedly have heard of Jeff Buckley. I know that I got into music a few years too late to hear any of Buckley’s stuff back when it was new, but I heard the legend of Buckley’s name every few months for about the last decade. When I actually received a copy of “So Realâ€, I was able…
As the title suggests, Asva’s second album maps an internal landscape – wild, vast, open – at once breathtakingly beautiful as it is potentially dangerous. A psychogeographical vista of mountain highs, barren rolling plains and oceanic lows.
This magazine makes me feel uncomfortable. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is a Yuppie magazine. This should not be a reason why people avoid Stopsmiling; rather, there are some interesting pieces in this issue of the magazine. I have absolutely no idea about any of the individuals that they cover in this issue of Stopsmiling; if that was their goal, they have succeeded completely. Of particular note this…
It has been a few years since I have heard anything in the way of discussion about Limp Bizkit, or any of the members from that band. Black Light Burns features former Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland, as well as members from acts like The Esoteric, Open Hand, Turn of the Screw and From First to Last. “Mesopotamia†is the first track on “Cruel Melodyâ€, and individuals that are looking…
Stopsmiling is a magazine that is in a bizarre world – take an issue of ARTnews and make it not as interesting, not as funny, and one will have an idea of the general gist of Stopsmiling. The zine begins like many of the other glossy publications with an absolute assload of ads – 17 pages before anything remotely zine-related starts the zine off. The layout of the entire issue…
