I went to see Barry Bonds make history last weekend with a group of other bay area bloggers including Christian and Ben from The Bay Bridged, Avery and Emily from the Deli SF and Will from New and Used Records. Barry didn’t go yard, but I was able to see his huge steroid head without […]

I’ve matured a little over the last 10 or so years. I no longer eat Ramen noodles every other meal. I say “like” a lot less between words. And random nose hairs are beginning to hang several millimeters out of my nostrils if I don’t manscape occasionally.
My musical taste has also matured a little, and […]

Sea Wolf has announced his debut full-length album, Leaves in the River, will be released September 25th on Dangerbird Records. I recently sang my praises about Sea Wolf, who has just kicked off a midwest tour with labelmates Silversun Pickups before heading out on tour with Nada Surf in October.

With him coming down do an in-studio with me this week, there was a lot of listening to Vanderslice’s new album, both because it was […]

Dead Heart Bloom

I was introduced to Dead Heart Bloom in the car by XM Radio the other day and was shocked to find the band giving away two albums for free on their website. Head on over to find their self-titled and Chelsea Diaries albums ready for download.

This New York city band is led by songwriter, Boris Skalsky. The Beatles and Beck influences on each album are at times less than subtle, which is a good thing in my opinion. It means that Skalsky’s well crafted lyrics are backed with stellar harmonies, strings, and diversity. You’ll hear little acoustic gems and soft vocals on Chelsea Diaries and faster-paced rockers backed by stringed orchestras on the self-titled debut.

Here are a few mp3’s from each album, but head on over to Dead Heart Bloom for the full downloads.

From Chelsea Diaries:

Dead Heart Bloom - Who Will You Love

Dead Heart Bloom - Chelsea Song #2

Dead Heart Bloom - New York City Heat

From Dead Heart Bloom:

Dead Heart Bloom - Sodom

Dead Heart Bloom - The Marchers are Coming

The HearYa Nation is in for a big treat this week – the venerable Cracklin Moth. Before you read any further, do yourself a favor. Scroll to the bottom of this article, click on “Eulogy for Bashu”, and prepare to listen to one of the best tracks I’ve heard all year. I simply can’t let […]

These pictures are just awful. It looks like I took the pictures with a camera phone squeezed between my butt cheeks. Two pics with the flash on, and one with it off. Simply putrid.
The night in Santa Cruz was great, however. I am a bigger fan of the Cardinals after this show, mostly because […]
