Bon Iver: A Most Unexpected Guest
Kanye Westâs fifth studio album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, sold half a million units in its first week and received perfect review ratings from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and other top music critics. Congrats Kanye, but I’m not gonna let you finish. (Ba dum ch!)
This article is not about Kanye West. Itâs about an artist who was, perhaps, the most unexpected guest artist on...

Band To Watch: Mini Mansions
If pure sound had the capability to project images on a blank wall, Mini Mansions would be worthy projectionists. On a break from Queens of the Stone Age, Michael Shuman melded heads and locked arms with longtime friends Tyler Parkford and Zach Dawes in a dusty room in the San Fernando Valley. Here, they began a collaborative séance out of which birthed Mini Mansions in January of 2009. Though...

Dirty, Rotten, Scandalous: Dope Boy Allstars
The fuck is a dope boy allstar? Ehhh urban dictionary likes to give the following definition:
Dope Boy All Star
1. Any person who distributes illicit substances. The term is most often used to describe a young male that excels at selling to a specific geographic area or neighbourhood, and most likely moves hard drugs (ex. cocaine, crack), as well as the standard marijuana and prescription...

Galapaghost is Ukel-Indie Rock at its Finest
Let’s be honest here: Galapaghost sounds a lot like a lot of stuff we’ve already heard. True.
But you can probably name 5 bands you love the shit out of that sound a lot alike, right? Well, so can we. For starters: The Magnetic Fields, Dent May & His Magnificient Ukelele, Fleet Foxes, Fools Gold, and The Silent Years. Am I right or am I right? Ok, KINDA right. Anyway, whatever. I’m stoked...

Band To Watch - Daddy Lion
I get really, really skeptical when bands who send me music to review list REALLY GOOD artists under their “Influences.” So I was immediately expecting an aural atrocity when I visited Daddy Lion’s myspace page and they had the following artists listed as major influences: Husker Du, Dinosaur Jr., Iggy Pop, Bowie, Buzzcocks, Joy Division, Leonard Cohen, Sonic Youth, T. Rex,...

Old News is Good News: New Beach House & New...
You’ve all heard both of these songs already, and we probably woulda posted them ages ago had it not been for STUPID *****host breaking our FREAKING servers every other day. Thanks a lot, hosting service, for sucking ass and making us fall behind on like, everything. Ugh. Anyway, Beach House and Yeasayer are 2 of our very favorite current artists here at the weapon and they’re both...

Flashback: Boyz II Men, ABC, BBD
Until pretty recently I had no idea what “ABC BBD” actually meant. I’m not sure where the epiphany came from but it came just the same, so enter another (late) version of the Flashback Friday post, featuring The East Coast Family. Howcome nothing sounds like this anymore?
Happy Saturday.

Obligatory Holiday Post
This video was made over two days on a zero budget by this band called Burning Hank. We think it’s pretty good. Check them out on bandcamp and if you dig ‘em visit their myspace for more tunes. I feel kinda bad cause I feel like these guys deserve more than a mention in a post. Hopefully they’ll throw us more goodies in 2010 so we can do them justice.

Le Castle Vania Goes To 11
Make no mistake about it — Le Castle Vania makes some ridiculously hot tracks. His drums and synths hit so hard they could make the walls at Madison Square Garden shake. I honestly don’t think there’s anyone I’m more excited about in terms of electronic music today. With that said, his newest single “Nobody Gets Out Alive!” is a perfect example — a...

Flashback: Shel Silverstein on The Johnny Cash...
You know him best from “A Light In The Attic” or “Where the Sidewalk Ends.” I do, too. This was my favorite:
Someone ate the baby it’s rather sad to say
Someone ate the baby so she won’t be out to play
We’ll never hear her whiney cry or have to feel if she is dry
We’ll never hear her asking why why why someone ate the baby
Someone ate the baby...

Hot Hot Heat Readies New Album, Releases Two New...
You’ll have to forgive the slightly outdated nature of this post — things have been insane at my job and it’s just been hell updating.
Onto some real talk though: Long story short, Hot Hot Heat is an interesting band. It appears that, over the years, they’ve become one of those bands that can’t figure out what they want to be. Disco-punk heroes? Pop-rock radio sweethearts? ...
