“Little-ol’-3-chord me,” indeed
gdub:
What’s truly astounding is that Rivers refers to himself as “little old three chord me”, and yet this song uses a chord for every single root note on the guitar.
Holy crap. Bad. Ass.
Look it up:
Menomena — “Muscle’n Flo”
I don’t know how I missed Menomena until recently, but they’re quickly ascending my list of favorites.
Née — “Magic Love”
I caught Née at the Tap Room last night (opening for my friends in Union Tree Review), and besides being completely adorable, she also makes some super-catchy electropop.

Menomena — “TAOS”
This song kills.
Best viewed with the volume set to VUVUZELA.

THIS WEEKEND: Catch us at Blu in Indianapolis on Thursday 5/27, the Summer Camp Festival in Chillicothe IL on Friday 5/28 (two sets; one at 7pm and the other at 2am), and the Taste Of Cincinnati (from Race Street to Broadway in Downtown Cincy) on Sunday 5/30.
Here’s your summer jam, folks.
Tokyo Police Club - “Bambi”
This is one of my favorite tracks off TPC’s upcoming album, Champ. It’s catchy, melodic, and hooky, and for me, goes exactly where I expect the song to go in my head. That doesn’t seem to happen very often and when it does I can’t help but take notice and overplay the heck outta the song. If you like what you hear, you should check out the rest of the album when it comes out June 8th!
All in all, a great, upbeat indie rock tune, perfect for kicking off your (long) weekend.
A few of us at the TOKY office have been tearing into Skip Spence’s OAR this week, but I only found out today that Beck’s Record Club covered it a little while back.
Check out Nels Cline’s guitar work on “War In Peace.” Killer.
