If you’ve got a love story like one of Joe and Becky’s, we’d love to turn that once-in-a-lifetime moment to more than extraordinary. Like many great music fans who have frequented the Granada, we were able to share many memories with the couple: from M83 to Girls, these two have been through it all. So >> Read More
My favorite thing about in-studio sessions is the rawness and intensity that engulfs the limited studio space. Like La Blogotheque Take-Away Shows, in-studio sessions are live, up and close, and sometimes, as personal as things can get. It’s no different from Josh Tillman, also known as Father John Misty.

Stars’ first full-length album, Nightsongs, was released in 2001. With their sixth-album released to date, I decided to take a trip back and reminisce on the few songs that got me acquainted with the Toronto band. My personal flashback comes from hearing Heart‘s “What The Snowman Learned About Love” for the first time. Since then, >> Read More
As excited as we are about celebrating our 8th Anniversary Party tomorrow with Menomena, we’re equally psyched about starting the night off with Team Tomb and PVT. Team Tomb by Team Tomb Team Tomb is a band fairly new to the DFW scene. The band consists of Caleb Ian Campbell of The Polycorns, Roy Robertson >> Read More
The Walkmen know a thing or two about putting on a performance, either in a small room or the back of a moving car. We’re getting pretty antsy and excited over here watching these, prepare yourselves. We Can’t Be Beat has been on repeat in the office since it came out, if we don’t cry >> Read More
One of my favorite things to do from time to time is visit La Blogothèque to watch the archive of videos. Throughout the years, this French-based website has covered everyone from Grizzly Bear to R.E.M.
