sammielouAlbum Reveiw: Atlas Sound – Parallax
Review by sammielou, who is without Internet this week. Dismissing Atlas Sound as just a side project from Deerhunter’s front man, Bradford Cox, would be a mistake. In fact, on his latest release, Parallax, he has put to rest any doubt of that. But even if you did doubt him, Cox doesn’t care. His carefree … Read more
Fugazi to release massive live recording archive
Soundboard-quality live recording fans rejoice! Fugazi fans rejoice! Dischord is launching the Fugazi Live Series.

The site is launching with 130 shows, with … Read more
Cloud Nothings prep for new album, national tour
Cleveland indie pop rockers Cloud Nothings tested the waters for their national tour yesterday in San Antonio. These guys are sure to damage hearing across the states once it launches in January.

All Good Coming to Ohio?
You heard it right kiddies. Yesterday I received news that All Good Music Festival and Campout will be making its way to the Buckeye State. And what better place than Legend Valley (formerly known as Buckeye Lake Music Center) in Thornville, Ohio. The location is about 30 minutes east of downtown Columbus if any of you guys have … Read more
Album Review: As I Lay Dying – Decas
The California-based metalcore band As I Lay Dying released their latest studio album Nov. 8. The record is titled Decas in honor of the group’s 10 years together — maybe not the most inspired title, but it gets the point across. It features three entirely new tracks, while the rest are covers and remixes of … Read more
Proposed Legislation Threatens Online Music Sharing
Here at Nasty Fancy, we appreciate all the sites that share music for us to spread to the masses. Yesterday, two separate pieces of legislation could affect our ability to obtain free media for you guys. Heck, it could even affect Nasty Fancy for all we know. The House has proposed the Stop Online Piracy … Read more
Hear an alternate version of Aesop Rock’s “Bent Life” – “Thorns ft. Eyedea and Slug”
Fans of the old Def Jux/Rhymesayers underground scene will appreciate this one. Earlier this month, Aesop Rock posted an early version of the track that came to be known as “Bent Life” on his critically-acclaimed Labor Days album. This version, recorded around 1999/2000, not only has different lyrics, but also a particularly sentimental value: it features … Read more
Concert Review: Mister Heavenly at the Grog Shop
Mister Heavenly hit the Grog Shop with Mr. Dream in tow last night, bringing a flurry of styles of punk, doo wop (or Doom Wop, as Mister Heavenly would call it), surf and others that would be entirely too much for most single bands. Sometimes supergroups are a little awkward, but if I hadn’t known … Read more
Friends don’t let friends listen to Nickelback
So the Detroit Lions’ Thanksgiving Day game this year pits them against the Green Bay Packers, currently the only undefeated team in the NFL. For the first time since 2007, the Lions will take the field for that holiday game with a winning record, bringing them that much closer to a playoff berth — their … Read more
Concert Review: Built to Spill at Musica
I’m pretty sure some zoning guidelines were broken at the Musica on Saturday. That place was packed wall to wall. Getting to the bar was an adventure. But the full house was matched by some huge sounds from both Built to Spill and openers White Pines. First up were Akron’s White Pines, who were a … Read more
