Howdy! It's the New Duck and Cover Music!

By

Don't mind the ass. It was just the first thing that popped up when I Googled "howdy".


After over a year bringing you the most opinionated, poorly researched, and gushing reviews on the internet, Duck and Cover Music finally shuffled off the maternal shackles of a blog template. For the past few weeks I've worked on some new graphics and CSS to give D&C a more distinguished look. Want the tour? Of course you do.


You'll find we've added a section just for videos. At the moment, it's a bit bare. We opted against moving all the video posts over because of the sheer number of you (we have literally tens of readers) who might possibly have bookmarked any one of our numerous video posts. So give it a few weeks.


We wanted you to know about what we do when we're not blogging (not counting drinking, video games, and porn), so beneath the video link are two links to our other online entities: Last.FM and MOG.


The observant members of our audience will also notice that we've devoted a column to advertising. Before you shout "Judas!", hear me out. Dakin and I have been "the boys at Duck and Cover" for over a year, and quite frankly, we're a bit hungry. So be a good sport.


Finally, you can now DIGG Duck and Cover blog posts with ease. Simply click "submit" on the DIGG button, and viola! You're off. The more you DIGG us, the more friends we have. And the more friends we have, the more we can pretend to know what we're talking about.


So, what do you think? Like it? Hate it? Want more music? Just let us know. Please. Seriously. Talk to us. We're lonely.

The Racoon Wedding :: Gather Gather Bones/Rattle Rattle Truth

By
Download The Paper Boy from The Racoon Wedding's album, Gather Gather Bones/Rattle Rattle Truth Sounds Like : they're gonna rip your ribcage out and find your heart RIYL : White Rabbits, Portugal. The Man, Fanfarlo, Rolling Stones ala Beggar's Banquet From the Press Release : Forming from the ashes of Vermicious Knid, and authoring songs in the basement of the all ages not-for-profit art space they own in a nook of the city’s forgotten downtown, frontman Tim Ford and company boast a sense of loyalty to their community that few other bands share. On their debut LP, Gather Gather Bones/Rattle Rattle Truth , issued this October via their own Ford Plant Recordings Co., the band enlisted the help of engineer Leon Taheny (of the Final Fantasy recording credit) and hammered out a record that teems with the spirit of long-forgotten roots music. It’s indebted to the history of mighty back porch music: unbridled, unedited, beautifully intense.

Flight of the Conchords Are Tha Muthaflippin'

By
If you go to the official Flight of the Conchords website , you will see that it was about the time they started work on their HBO special that they stopped updating. However, you will also read that they don’t mind too much. In fact, they are very quick to point to other fan sites that are doing a much better job. This self deprecating humour is part of what makes the duo so endearing. For those who have not yet seen the programme, Bret McKenzie ( formerly of Wellington dub band The Black Seeds) plays the naïve Bret, who is a vertible emotional rollercoaster when compared to the dour-faced Jermaine (Jermaine Clement. See him in Eagle vs. Shark ). Together they look for gigs and . . . well that’s pretty much it: they look for gigs. But it’s enough. Just because the show’s premise isn’t robust, doesn’t mean the show falls flat. Hell, remember Seinfeld? That was a show supposedly about ‘nothing,’ and look how well it did. FOTC is at least about one thing, so it’s got that much more ...

Daft Punk :: Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

By
Somehow winter still has her claws in the Pacific Northwest. It's almost May, and we're forecast snow this coming weekend. Snow! (I'll spare you my usual tirade about what physically impossible acts may be performed on this particular part of the country, my own little corner of hell.) In any event, we were teased by 80 degrees over the past weekend, only to be thrust back into the 50s and below (with rain!) immediately after. Needless to say, it has not been happy times. I am on day three of a nonstop Neko Case marathon, and, while it is indeed comforting, Neko tends to be a little, dare we say, dark ? Sometimes you just need to take pause and make your own sunshine, or perhaps be steered to some on YouTube , as is certainly the case here. (Even though I firmly believe that YouTube is leading to the complete downfall of Western Civilization, and exposing the ugly underbelly of the American experience, I can sometimes forgive it. Times like this.) Back story? Dunno. Two fre...
