The Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt!

By

Download "Fast Forward Regrets"


It's difficult to categorize this one because I have as yet only heard the single they've released--the same single I'm giving to you now. On this one, minimalist but highly dance-able track, there is enough eclectic energy to rank them with the likes of Man Man or Matt & Kim. With nothing more than hand-claps, an accordion, and their throaty growls, The Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt create a sound I would drive for miles to witness. Which is good since their debut album isn't slated for release until Spring 2010, and their only live shows are on the east coast for now.

Me likey likey. The hand clapping sounded very much like drums though.

Now all I have to do is wait for them to come to tour Europe and come to London. Harumpf.

Celebrate Halloween with Peter Squires's New Video, "Witch"

By
I don't usually do festive or holiday posts. In fact, the closest I get is writing some kind of seasonal bent against a track, and only then when I've had too much coffee and can't find any relation to a song other than what the weather is doing. I just think holiday-themed posts / articles are lazy. But Halloween is different. Why? Because Halloween, to paraphrase Wesley Willis, whips a horse's ass. So when Ryan from The Musebox put me on to Peter Squires a few days ago, I knew it was going into the annals of Duck & Cover (that's right, I said "annals" on the Internets). From the Press Release: Peter’s direct and honest vocal delivery is reminiscent of contemporaries such as Kimya Dawson and Luke Temple. The album is all heart, laid bare for our aural pleasure. Woe Is Me was recorded in Peter Squires’ Brooklyn bedroom and is available on his website for fans to download at no charge. The first video from the album is “Witch” and it was just rele...

The Pogues + The Dubliners = St. Patrick's Rovers

By
In celebration of St. Patrick's day, and because I spent a good deal of time living on Ireland's west coast (if you can call Limerick a coast), here's an old video of The Pogues and The Dubliners singing "Irish Rover." I love the fact that Shane MacGowan is puffing away at a rollie on stage--and I'm pretty sure it's not water in that styrofoam cup. This video reminds me of a musician I palled around with during my stint in stab city. A mesmerizing performer, Damo would often celebrate the fact he scored a gig before the gig itself. When it was time for him to go on, he would be completely trollied; too drunk for his own performance (which, if you knew Damo, you would concede is no small feat). Damn, I miss those guys.

All New Mix Tape Thanks to Yahoo!!

By
That's one exclamation point for Yahoo!, and one for me shouting The developers at Yahoo! have been ever so kind to the web community, of which Dakin and I (collectively known as Duck & Cover, for you newbies [although I was never certain who was Duck and who was Cover. Maybe I was meant to be the ampersand.]) are proud members. You may recall a while back I posted our grief with SeeqPod , which we had been using to construct mixes of musical magic for our dedicated readers/listeners. Well, Yahoo! came to the rescure by developing a JavaScript-driven mp3 player. I emphasize JavaScript here to note the differece between this new player (which you may have noticed by now on the left) and previous, Flash-driven players. People need to download Flash, you see, and even though most internet users already have it, requiring readers to download software just to see your blog is not a nice thing. Not only is the Yahoo! player accessible, it's also free--which is a very nice thing...
