The members of Guster met at their freshman orientation for Tufts in , formed the band a year later and released an album before they even graduated.
Mayfest has a lot of power. By bringing an artist to Dillo Day, Mayfest does three things. Others, it means introducing the student body to a new artist and telling us we need to pay attention to them.
Two, Mayfest gives that artist a platform. That band, rapper, singer or DJ gets a stage for an hour to do what they see fit, with the promise that hundreds to thousands of students will be there watching and listening. And three, Mayfest pays the artist. And college shows can be especially enticing financial options given that artists tend to earn a flat fee, rather than one based on ticket sales.
The songs sound developed and interesting, and some are pretty damn catchy. All this makes him seem like a perfect daytime headliner. Even though the festival was canceled due to weather, most students could just see the duo at their local music festival that summer.
The best thing about OK Go is, of course, the music videos. Mayfest might have been better off showing OK Go music videos for an hour than having the band open Dillo Day with its most interesting element stripped away. If I stuck it out for 10 minutes, that stress would turn to boredom and confusion.
B — fresh off his breakout debut B. But with just one album out, B. B was far from headliner material in Did he even have enough music for an hourlong set? That being said, if I were booking Dillo Day, I would set some rules for the lineup. One of the most important? No slow music after the sun goes down. The prospect of day drinking to fuel an afternoon and evening of music before a night of partying is a more reliable motivator for students to wake up early than any 9 a.
We need upbeat music to keep us going. I have to give it to N. The songs are fun enough, but like with Cashmere Cat, the most interesting thing N. Months after he came to Dillo, he released a much less interesting record, Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors. The following year, MGMT released its best album since the duo gave us those hits on Oracular Spectacular , and Andrew and Ben previewed a few of those synthier songs during their Dillo set. For those of us who did, and welcomed it, MGMT proved the perfect headliner.

According to Google, this is the definition of permutation: a way, especially one of several possible variations, in which a set or number of things can be ordered or arranged. How is this helpful? Well, it shows you the anagrams of dgafly scrambled in different ways and helps you recognize the set of letters more easily.
Cons: House should have been fuller. I am going to completely ignore the elephant in the room — a certain column about sex that has so far generated well over comments. That particular topic does not lend itself to taking cheap shots at commenters. Instead, here are comments from a grab-bag of articles.
The common thread tying them together is simply this: all provide lulz. When to make it: when you are passively observing an awkward situation and wish to acknowledge the awkwardness but want to draw minimal attention and remain an innocent bystander. Because that is a shitload of animals. Justice, Freedom, peace between fowl. I should watch that again. The University should clear paths…no poop sherlock.
Part of the joke with Gorillaz who unveiled their rather excellent new album on Monday has always been that immense amounts of efforts have gone into fabricating a band that is the height of entitled rock-star apathy - few Grammy gestures have been as hilariously anarchic as lead singer 2-D texting during their show-opening performance. That's a clever enough conceit, but it has occasionally resulted in their music videos being somewhat static and occasionally dull. Thankfully, the new video for their single "Stylo" finds the group at its most, well, animated as they find themselves in a plot that's one part "Mad Max" and two parts Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof".
Reproduced as CGI characters driving through a live-action desert, our disheveled, possibly hung-over heroes enter in a bullet-hole-ridden muscle car that looks like the result of a drug deal gone wrong. There's a nice attention to facial detail in the animation here, such as the twitches on bassist Murdoc's curdled-milk-colored face also, guitarist Noodle was apparently a robot all along.
Director Jamie Hewlett also brings a nice tension to the proceedings, particularly through his direction of a well-known cameo-ing actor who is clearly having a ball hamming it up here.
The single may not have the same kind of monstrous catchiness that "Clint Eastwood" or "Feel Good Inc. Savoir Adore is not your typical pop-rock duo. Deirdre Muro and Paul Hammer came together "by accident" when they met at NYU in a songwriting group and decided one weekend, on a whim, to take a pilgrimage up to Paul's childhood home in upstate NY and record some collaborative works.
Their joint musical efforts would continue to be spontaneous and exploratory for the next few years; Savoir Adore has been described as a group that writes "lyrics that border on mystical and has a sense of musical adventurousness that takes them through fairly straightforward folk, cutesy electro-pop, and some other stuff that sounds half like gypsy music and half like Joanna Newsom.
After they sent their first couple songs around to their friends as a sort of joke and started performing around the city, good feedback encouraged them to take this seriously, and Savoir Adore the "official" group was born. Deirdre and Paul are on tour for their new album, "In the Wooded Forest," and will perform at Terrace this Thursday night, March 4th, at Q: What makes your duo work?
How do you guys have such a great collaboration going on? Paul: We both started writing and playing music with a love of experimentation and developing a whole new genre. And we have really good chemistry as people and respect each other's interests. We each bring something different to the table. Deirdre: We both find joy in exploring different kinds of music and are on the same page in a lot of respects.
Q: If you could describe your music in three adjectives, what would they be? Savoir Adore: Magical, sparkly, and adventurous.
Q: How did going to NYU influence or change you as musicians? P: We found ourselves in a very musical community — New York has so many different places to see music and perform. D: We met at NYU in a singer-songwriter's club. People would come and play songs for each other. Q: How did you come up with your name? What does it mean? P: It was actually a very quick thing. We had recorded a track for fun and Deirdre had sung a couple lines in French in the middle.
When we needed a name a few weeks later, we had been talking about how beautiful the French language is, so we went back to that line she sang in French.
D: It's funny; we decided to make a Myspace page for one dinky song and created a name then and there. P: It's pretty equally shared. We also tend to compromise quickly and both trust each other musically. D: But we do have our moments of being ridiculous. Still, if we let something get in our way, we haven't gotten anything done. What's funny is that right now, I know when the answers to these questions can end, but then Paul will jump in with something else Q: Do you have any embarrassing performance memories?
D: Yes! Paul got very drunk and was playing all kind of crazy chords and singing at the wrong time. He even melted a part of his amp by accident and broke a string. A general disaster. P: That was definitely the most embarrassing moment for me, but the most memorable was when we drove 30 hours in a car to see a music festival. Weird things happen when you've been sitting in a car for that long. Q: What were your childhood dreams? Did you ever anticipate being musicians?
P: I wanted to be a weatherman. D: I always wanted to be a musician. My 5th grade yearbook says I was going to grow up to be a rock star. Q: What's next? P: Tours and a new album! We already have a bunch of new songs that we can't wait to record. Q: You say Savoir Adore happened by accident D: I was a frosh and Paul was a soph.
I was kind of a slacker and didn't go to the songwriters club get-togethers very many times, but I remember thinking he was so cool. Q: Where do you usually get inspiration?
D: Actually, we often seek inspiration from own work. Pumpernickel and the Girl with Animals In Her Throat" that we made a couple years ago is a very narrative, conceptual piece. It was the first time we had ever collaborated. We sometimes tap back into that kind of place. It fits with what we do now. Q: How did you write this album? What was the process?
D: It revolves around a fabricated location - the forest - with characters and locations. Q: Who would you ideally want to collaborate with? D: Jack White.
P: Jack White. Brian Adams. They are on the same page! Q: What's the show on Thursday gonna be like in a couple words? P: Loud, fun, exciting, memorable. And sparkly. Bomb the Music Industry! And Excited By Nothing!!!!!!! Since , Bomb the Music Industry! Clocking in at just over 20 minutes, every track's a winner, and, since it's free, there's no legitimate reason not to give it a listen.
In a genre usually reserved for fluffy divas and disco balls, Chew Lips carry themselves with a distinctive, sophisticated art-rock swagger. Yes, there are synths and bleeps and drum machines, but the melodies are sinewy and skeletal, and singer Tigs sounds wise beyond her years. Even better, no two songs here are alike. I saw the band live in London during Intercession and their CD has more than lived up to my expectations.
If you thought all electro-pop was just disposable fun, think again. Almost wholly comprised of acoustic instruments and boasting a developed, textured folk sound, the band has an inimitable energy and enthusiasm that makes their music infectious.
Listening to their album was the first time I've found myself grooving to pure, straight-up folk music. I'm betting you'll feel the same way. Naturally, I dispensed mix-tapes to all of my friends, only to receive confused looks and judgmental laughs.
