Real Estate | Real Estate

Woodsist (2009)
Real Estate’s buzzed-about debut speaks the language of the season, its slow sunset of sound flush with twinkling Stratocasters, drum kits that trot off into the distance, and anemic vocals that, as with Grizzly Bear or Beach House, magnify the fragility of it all.

Music Seen: Huak and Readings from 33 1/3 series

At SPACE Gallery, November 8
There was nothing Sunday-sized about the crowd at SPACE last weekend, when Michael T. Fournier and Zeth Lundy took turns reading from their books, both part of Continuum Press's 33 1/3 series. The series, which so far features 67 volumes with 67 different authors, covers music albums in around 150 pages or less.

Game Review: The Beatles: Rock Band

Don't meet the Beatles — be them
Can we agree that the music-game market is saturated? To stand out in this crowd, you'd need something special. You'd need the Beatles.

Those Darlins | Self-titled

Oh Wow Dang (2009)
If summer finally decides to arrive this year, it'll have a heckuva soundtrack waiting for it.

He's their rock

Superdrag redeem themselves
The pantheon of Where Are They Nows is populated with fallen and faded demigods, yes, but could've-beens, almost-weres, and also-rans crowd the wings.

Solo contender

A.C. Newman adjusts to the limelight on Get Guilty
When Carl Newman walks down a New York City sidewalk and seizes some sudden flicker of inspiration by humming bits of melody into his Blackberry.

Review: Mark Olson and Gary Louris, Ready for the Flood (New West)

Return of the Hawks
Some of us sat idly by while the Stooges, the Pixies, the Police, and the New Kids were busy plotting their improbable reunions, our arms crossed, feigning indifference.

2008 Listravaganza!

An absolute glut of cruelly reductive Top 10 lists from our dedicated staff of tirelessly enthusiastic writers
We are not at all sick of bands with animal names yet and seem to have a soft spot for Erykah Badu that we kept very hush about all year.

Belle and Sebastian | The BBC Sessions

Matador (2008)
Call ’em twee or call ’em bookish (after all, they did take their name from a French children’s book), but don’t call Belle & Sebastian anemic.

Cheap Trick | Budokan!

Epic/Legacy (2008)
These days, all an American outfit has to do to get famous is name itself after an animal and get blogged about for 24 hours.

Replacements | Rhino Reissues

 Tim + Pleased To Meet Me + Don’t Tell A Soul + All Shook Down | Rhino (2008)
Rhino’s second and concluding batch of Replacements reissues charts the Minneapolis band’s Great Descent from the heights of rock-and-roll nihilism to the pit of MOR blah.

Ben Folds | Way To Normal

Epic (2008)
His attitude may remain young at heart, but his irony’s over the hill.

Calexico: Carried to Dust

Quarterstick
True to its title, Carried to Dust moves along with wraith-like grace, a haunting and beautiful drift of songs about codebreakers, gravebound ghosts, and stars that “shone in slowness.”

Randy Newman

Harps + Angels | Nonesuch
As welcome as it is to have Newman’s acerbic wit back, it remains a singular pleasure to listen to a simple, devastating ballad like “Losing You.”

You can play Spot the Beatles throughout this one.

Beck

Modern Guilt | DGC
It’s music for summer nights of muggy confusion and post-sunset soul searching, and when Beck takes the mic, he rocks some straight-up Shiva shit.

Ratatat | LP3

XL
It's some kind of cosmic machine music, reflecting not just a stoner’s world of internalized minimalist headbanging but an entire universe of culture, texture, and possibility.

Shearwater

Rook | Matador
To fans of the Austin band, this is all par for the beautiful but eerie course.

Elvis Costello and the Imposters

Momofuku | Lost Highway
“I’m a limited primitive kind of man,” Costello sings in “Drum & Bone,” and for better and worse, that’s the truth.
