05.21.07Why BurnLounge Is A Giant Scam And Intelligent Memphians Should Run As Far Away From Them As They Can.Someone named TJ (Teresa) Searcy was kind enough to have invited me to attend a BurnLounge function here in Memphis on Wednesday night at Holiday Inn Select - 2nd Floor Ballroom 5795 Poplar @ I-240, Memphis on Wednesday, May 23, 6:30pm. After receiving the evite, I responded that I might be attending. I got frustrated with her emailing me the same evite repeatedly (four times in 12 hours). So after I had already responded saying I might attend, I did some research that I think people should check out. You see, folks, BurnLounge is a giant scam ...

05.17.07Long-Awaited New Aesop Rock To Drop August 28th From Definitive JuxGood lord, Aes! What took you so damn long? We've been waiting and debating while you were granulating, and it's probably worth stating that giving your "secret details" to Pitchfork about the record first is as close as you can come to being a "sell-out" in the world of independent music. But hey, man, it's cool. We understand needing to spread the word 'cuz it's been like....400 years since your last record? Thankfully, None Shall Pass shall see daylight on August 28th, and it's got some appearances by some special guests & special ghosts, too ...

05.15.07Picture Pages, Picture Pages: Recap of The Clientele, Beach House & The Third Man @ Hi-Tone Cafe, Memphis 5.14.07"Just pretend we're a bar band in England before there was Lynyrd Skynyrd," Alistair MacLean of The Clientele said, halfway chiding the audience at Hi-Tone Cafe last night where they soared through an absolutely lovely set. Following an achingly dreamy performance by Baltimore's Beach House and a stellar set of dark psychedelia intermingled with reverent nods to new wave and soul music by The Third Man, The Clientele left a delightful imprint on Monday's crowd at Hi-Tone Cafe. Spotted in the audience? None other than Memphis' own non-stop touring machine Cory Branan. Check out some pictures. Click here ...

05.14.07Loudersoft Loves The Clientele, Beach House and The Third Man @ Hi-Tone in Memphis 5.14.07Memphians may not be familiar with London's The Clientele, but critics and reviewers everywhere (including us here at Loudersoft) have had their latest release, God Save The Clientele on frequent replay for weeks now. Creating dashing and daring 60's-influenced pop medleys riddled with literary references, they have built a musical style and catalog of lovely harmonies and longing that peeks from behind the shaded windows to let the sunlight bleed in. Appropriately, this tour brings them to the spiritual mecca that produced Big Star, a band whose influence is felt all over their newest record in uncompromising heaps. ...

05.11.07Loudersoft Loves Lord T & Eloise’s Aristocrunk | Mickey Avalon Dick Thick As A Baton Takes Memphis OnIf you missed Mickey Avalon's first-ever Memphis appearance, along with the masters of "aristocrunk" Lord T & Eloise, you missed out big. Even though the show was, by all previous Mickey Avalon shows, fairly tame in the nudity department, "The Kosher Salami" didn't spare any power -- he tore the house down following the blistering opening set from Lord T & Eloise. There were people getting their freak on with each other at each side of the stage, girls making out with each other, with Mickey, and even a group of streakers that ran past the Deli just ...

05.10.07Loudersoft Loves Mogwai’s Soundtrack For Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait.In the world of indie rock, there are few held in as high esteem by the people on our block as Glaswegian band Mogwai, purveyors of incomparable psychedelic instrumentals, droning wonders that are timelessly moving. The combination of Stuart Braithwaite and John Cunningam's harmonic guitar mastery, Dominic Aitchison's bee-hive basslines, Martin Bulloch's brush-laden drum tones, and Barry Burns' carousel of keyboard and flute incantations are consistently noteworthy amongst the past eleven years of independently-produced music. Their newest outing, the soundtrack to the film Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait is the perfect vehicle for their atmospheric daydreaming. ...

05.10.07Loudersoft’s Random First Thing In The Morning Post: Viktor Swalovski and BellatronicaMySpace Music is occasionally good for one thing or another, most of the time for finding things that are so bad that you have to wonder why someone bothered to write it in the first place, but rare gems get unearthed. A gem is a funny thing, too, because calling it "gem" gives a song some inherent preciousness, some kind of cache that tells you it has more than merely redeeming value. Rather than try to give you that sense about these two tracks, I will just say that I don't know if either of them are *necessarily* ...
