We'd apologize, but given that us hard-working writer types are also hard-working Dubious Ranger types, the last couple months have been brimming with band activity, touring, cutting a new album, and other small things like that, so our excuse ... http://sfts.nothingroom.com/?p=217 And it's been officially released. We know it's going up against new albums by The Super Furry Animals and Depeche Mode (not to mention Empire Of The Sun's US release of the best album cover ever made) in competition for your eyeballs and ears, but if you'd like to support ... http://sfts.nothingroom.com/?p=216 The Scene has been a bunch of drooling, crazy SFA fans since we were mere toddlers attempting to tell the difference between Welsh and Klingon so we've been quite excited about the Super Furry Animals' new record, Dark Days / Light Years, and its April 21 US release (kind of ... http://sfts.nothingroom.com/?p=215 The Scene figures that, since everybody else in the SF indie scene has spent the last couple weeks drumming up the hype (including a successfully packed coming out party at Pop Scene) for San Jose's new indie darlings The Limousines, The Scene might as well join the fray and sing ... http://sfts.nothingroom.com/?p=214 Big props to Daytrotter for locking in SM for a wickedly fun and free-wheeling session today. If you couldn't tell, Stephen Malkmus + Pavement are one of the reasons we all started playing and writing about music, so any love we can give to the fellow, trust us we'll give ... http://sfts.nothingroom.com/?p=213 Well, we were actually the ones that green-lighted this music video, and it's finally launched as of this Friday! Dubious Ranger can now put another notch on their bedposts, as they officially have appeared in something that looks waaaay too expensive for any of these guys to appear in. It ... http://sfts.nothingroom.com/?p=212 Although it's been a helluva weekend, and we're all feeling mighty rocked by all sorts of awful parties and hangovers-- not to mention this town has to prep itself for true St Paddy's Day on Tuesday-- we're still feeling good enough to go to this show. Hell, since Dubious Ranger ... http://sfts.nothingroom.com/?p=211 Who needs to know more than what's said in the above title?! Cut Copy and Matt&Kim are Scene favorites, they write incredible songs and put on great shows. Need we say more? What else do we need to say? Should we ask you if you like Pet Shop Boys???!!! Really if ... http://sfts.nothingroom.com/?p=210 As part of San Francisco's seminal NoisePop festival, currently underway this week amidst a dizzying haze of indie shows and flannel-clad fixie-bikers, Stephen Malkmus played a solo acoustic guitar set at SF's lovely Great American Music Hall. Performing for a sold-out crowd, this event can only be properly described as ... http://sfts.nothingroom.com/?p=209 Where does The Scene end and the Outlands begin? Some would say "Modesto" because of its serene farmlands, accepted cow-tipping, and tranquil isolation from the Bay Area. Those people are wrong however, because Granddaddy.
