		<title>The Megaphonic Thrift &#8211; The Right Kind Of Loud</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Any band can be loud. It&#8217;s as simple as turning a knob on an amplifier, or telling your mix engineer to crank a fader. For some, loudness is a crutch. Loud, aggressive presentation often masks a lack of musicality or an inability to sing. Too often, loud becomes brittle and ear-piercing to the point of [...]]]></description>

		<title>SXSW &#8211; The Megaphonic Thrift</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Day 1 of SXSW was filled with bands I&#8217;ve seen before &#8211; Grooms, Suckers, Frightened Rabbit, Free Energy &#8211; but I kept hearing great things about The Megaphonic Thrift who played the Hype Machine party and recorded a WOXY session during the day.  They are somewhat of a Norwegian supergroup, composed of members from [...]]]></description>

		<title>CMJ Day One &#8211; Death to &#8220;Lo-Fi&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Day one of CMJ started off with some buzzy indie rock and ended with some lighter folk fare.  With nothing but a few tacos in between, it all added up to a slow start to what many are already considering a lighter CMJ week than usual.  After catching up with friends on Ludlow [...]]]></description>

		<title>Savior Adore &#8211; Northside recordings, Album release show 7/17 at Cameo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lot of indie music these days strikes me as disposable.  Interesting for a listen or two, most songs lack the attention to detail and creativity that warrants repeat listening in my book.  Many so-called &#8220;bands&#8221; rely solely on interesting vocal lines with throwaway accompaniment underneath.  It was truly refreshing when I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Crowdsourcing killed indie rock.  You wanna know why?  Because crowds have terrible taste.&#8221; &#8211; Christopher R. Weingarten
After 3 years of self-induced blog anxiety I&#8217;m finally coming to terms with my random and infrequent posting schedule.  There are so many blogs and sites and tweets spewing information and repeating each other that it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rossini Fail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The internet is supposed to be used for complaining about things that no one else really cares about, right?  Cool, just checking.  But if you have any interest in music, physics, engineering, cars, 19th century opera, 20th century television theme songs or dancing bananas, please read on.
We&#8217;re going to start with exhibit A. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Life and Times &#8211; Tragic Boogie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I often fear that some great bands are being unjustly overlooked simply because they don’t fit squarely into any of our critically sanctioned musical categories.  However, The Life and Times should be proud of not being easily classified.  Though the member’s previous bands (Shiner, Someday I, Strings and Return) have been labeled as [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Wrens, Bowery Ballroom &#8211; March 13, 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Friday night at Bowery Ballroom, The Wrens were not in rare form.  They did not play the best show of their lives.  They were exactly The Wrens we all expected to see.  And it was the most incredible show I&#8217;ve attended in well over a year.
There was an undeniable camaraderie among [...]]]></description>
