Even though I sort of count Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning’s “Broken Social Scene Presents…” solo releases as BSS albums, it’s been a while. Broken Social Scene’s long-awaited follow-up to 2005′s self-titled release finally gets a name/single/cover. Forgiveness Rock Record is due May 4, and features appearances from [past]members Feist and Emily Haines, among others+. [...]

So bla bla bla, right? Another “Best of the Decade” list. I can’t possibly bring myself to explain these choices in detail of any kind. I’m all detailed out for the year. I feel like I keep reading the same things about a few of these records on different sites, and no one likes when [...]

The first draft of this post, titled “My Poproks Best Songs Since 2000,” is from this past March. 8 months, 1,000 edits, and 3,000 miles later, it officially exits the abyss of blogFAIL that is My Poproks “drafts” section.

The schedule was posted today for the 8th Annual Village Voice Siren Festival at Coney Island in Brooklyn (big ups to Brooklyn). Though this doesn’t really compare to last year’s line-up, I’m excited about my one and only festival outing of 2008 (poor people like free festivals). Helio Sequence and The Dodos have both released [...]
