By Todd | Published: February 11, 2009
[Audio clip: view full post to listen] Jay Dee – “Walkinonit” (Phaseone remix) Last month I strung together a number of compound sentences and besotted adjectives to endtroduce you to St. Louis hip-hop producer and DIY Dilla disciple Phaseone.

Firebird Grand Reopening! Gil Mantera, Thor Axe, et al. – St. Louis, 2/05/09

By Todd | Published: February 9, 2009
NOTE: This should have been posted last week, but as you may have noticed we’ve been dealing with a giant technical clusterphooie lately that shows no signs of going away anytime soon. When the Bluebird shut down for renovations a few weeks ago, it was kind of a big deal. As the city’s last best [...]

Panda Bear – “I’m Not” (Phaseone remix) Burial – “Archangel” (Phaseone remix) Grouper – “Heavy Water / I’d Rather Be Sleeping” (Phaseone remix) Sometimes I have no idea how local news filters through to me.

By Todd | Published: September 29, 2008
I know it’s such a drag to go to shows on weekdays, but the amount of shows coming through St. Louis this week is plain ridiculous. Admit it, you’re already planning to get by this week on power naps and shots of 5 Hour Energy poured discretely in your coffee mug. If not, here’s the [...]

Evangelicals & two acoustic openers at the Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center

By Todd | Published: September 17, 2008
Evangelicals Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center September 16, 2008 When I walked into the Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center last night, for a second I thought I had mistaken the date and paid $5 to enter a poetry reading instead of an Evangelicals rock show. The place was library-quiet and the few people already there sat studiously [...]

Some belated thoughts on ’70s Under Cover night at the Bluebird

By Todd | Published: September 10, 2008
-I think covers have an unfair reputation in much of the DIY, indie music world. Playing a few choice covers to show the audience where you’re coming from doesn’t put you on the same level as the dueling piano bar that plays nothing but Billy Joel requests from drunken bachelorettes all night in the guido [...]
