Vampire Weekend may be the bloggy-darling of the hour, but Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin has been making Afro-Pop indie-rock perfection for years now - to basically zero fanfare.
It's a conspiracy I tell ya. Damn Commies!
almost a year ago, i went to see the band mute math with my good buddy chris. a good time was had by all. 'all' meaning 'us.' little did we know what horrors lay for our beloved musicians. i just got a message from chris and this video attached. apparently during the show, darren (mute math's drummer), rocked out a little too hard and cut his face from what appears to be his cymbal. no one at the show realized it at the time.
heres the video i took from my camer... MORE
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin is a favorite of mine. The 2006 album went off with relatively little fanfare, and much to my dismay as over a period of time I couldn’t find their stuff. Even locating information online seemed tough.
After hearing I am Warm and Powerful on LastFM once, I did some thorough searches. I keep a list of good bands and their music that I hear. When I get the chance I look it up and find out more. Ticking most bands off the list wasn’t ha... MORE
at this moment i am listening to henry and kevin's
send-off song for blair. the humanity here at mog! how very beautiful. how very thoughtful. all three of you rock.
it reminds me of my traveling adventures. personally, i have "up and left" four times that i can count since i was eighteen. i can identify with the hope of the grass being greener. perpetually _unsatisfied_ with my situations. my story starts with nyc, then cork, then key west and now atlanta. i fi...

I claim to be a distinguished citizen of the world. It's a global culture, so I'm told, and as a student at the University of Chicago, I have a responsibility to take matters of global politics seriously. Yesterday, I failed misery at my responsibility. When I heard that Boris Yeltsin died at 76, I did not think of Glasnost, the implications of a free Russia, and how Vladimir Putin has responded to Yeltsin's legacy. Instead, I thought of an indie rock band from Springfield Mi... MORE
it's been a long time since i posted on mog... too long. but i decided that it's been too good of a spring break not to talk about it. i ended up going to four shows in the span of a week- kind of a record for me. first it was of montreal and mute math in boston (two separate concerts in different venues that happened to be next door to each other!), then someone still loves you boris yeltsin, the cinematics, and mute math again in philadelphia, and .moneen. & others at a...

Hello, this is my first post on MOG.
Yesterday I was browsing at a record store in Columbia(Papa Jazz), only to stumble on a very good condition Bill Evans Trio Moon Beams LP. My brother got me two of his originals on CD, but I've been wanting the Vinyl for a long time now...and I found it! But I didn't have enough cash to buy it, so I'm going back to get if for sure. I also maybe bidding on a Japanese release of Pet Sounds by the beach boys on Vinyl, but I'm still searc... MORE
Local indie-rock boys, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, seem to pop up everywhere I look. They play around town so I catch them on occasion and the lead singer works at the local caffeine pit stop of choice. The well deserved "buzz" seems to have started in 2005 when the blogosphere shot them to unsigned indie wonder-boy status. Google turns up a tons of hits and reviews, Spin plugged them as "Sign This Band Now", Pitchfork reviewed them, Mocking Mus... MORE
