01.06.10Video Watch: Islands – "No You Don't""No You Don't" is the latest video from Montreal, Canada's Islands off their 2009 release Vapours. Arrested Development fans (or, I guess, Juno and stuff, too) might want to pay attention to this one, as it stars the ever-awkward but endearing Michael Cera. The lesson here, I think, is not to do drugs or not to hang out with Canadians. Or, listen to more Islands...I'm not quite sure.

12.09.09Video Watch: Sufjan Stevens – "That Was The Worst Christmas Ever"If there's one thing I love, it's indie rock bands covering Christmas classics. If there's one thing I uber-love, however, it's indie rock bands penning their own Christmas hymns. Which is why the multi-album, Sufjan Stevens Christmas collection is my holiday go-to for merry music. To get us in the spirit, let's check out my favorite of his originals, "That Was The Worst Christmas Ever", which - as it so happens - is not too merry, after all.

12.08.09Have You Met… The Paper Raincoat?Last month I was on a business trip in Boston and happened across a tiny vegetarian restaurant/famous Cambridge folk center and decided it was the perfect place to grab a bite alone. Little did I know I had stumbled across not only a delicious pumpkin beer and meat-free meal, but the debut LP-release show of Boston gone Brooklyn's The Paper Raincoat. It's pretty rare that I can feel moved at a show when I don't know a single song going into it - but somehow, somewhere, The Paper Raincoat grabbed a hold of my music loving soul and wouldn't let ...

12.02.09Video Watch: Dodos: "Longform" + Tegan and Sara "Hell" (Acoustic)Pitchfork just posted the newest video from San Francisco trio The Dodos. "Longform" is the second track on their Frenchkiss release Time To Die. How badly do you wish you were living inside this music video? Seems nice. If you've been missing their acoustic styles after the October release of Tegan and Sara's electrical Sainthood, consider this a treat. Here they are performing single "Hell" in some hallway for Fly TV...acoustic.

11.20.09This Week In Mixery: VampiresRight now you could go to the movie theater and see New Moon if you wanted to. Well, it's probably sold out - but in theory you could. You don't care about seeing New Moon but something tells me you will, just to keep your head up high as an American. Last week we gave some love to the Wolves for Team Jacob. This week we'll give Team Edward a shot - Vampire Mixery away!

11.19.09News BriefsPre-Order Allison Weiss's New Album + MP3's + Tour We here at DustSleeve happen to think Athens, GA's Allison Weiss is pretty fantastic. Not only is she cute, a master of social media, as D.I.Y as they come, and a pretty serious pancake fan, she also happens to be really, really talented. November 24th marks the release of her first full-length LP (though sixth release), and you can expect nothing less than her signature quirk-pop appeal in a clean, catchy, hope-filled collection worth keeping on repeat over this holiday season. If you can't wait to get your hands on the ...
