| Â | The Lo-Fi Threat |
 | | The biggest threats facing the rise of surf music are the proliferation of cover bands, the invasion of the no lyrics=surf bands, and lo-fi. | | | The no lyrics=surf bands are more dangerous because their product will be bought by folks getting their feet wet for the first time, and the resultant boredom in listening to melody-free backtracks will turn them off forever. | | | Bands would do themselves, the music, and us all a favor if they waited until they were really ready to record before doing so, and release only the best tracks they can muster, instead of the cheapest. |

| Â | Ten Story Love - Music for Power-Pop Lovers and Disenfranchised Old Farts |
| | Songwriting is still the focus-- fully-amped songs with meaty hooks and tasty melodies. | | | Ever the perfectionists, the band has scrapped all the tracks recorded for their next album and will be recorded new versions throughout the winter and spring of 2004. | | | After composing a few tunes, the answer was a resounding "YES!", and the band was formed in earnest. |

| | Surealy, Dangerfive records is such the perfect choise to people who, just like me, are tired of all those old guitar bands... | | | The band came from Rio de Janeiro to play a couple of shows and we couldn´t even realise they were kinda tired after the long trip and the soundchecking: they were singing and dancing and playing like if it was the most special thing they´ve been doing for ages! | | | The band is in their second album already. |

| | Today, we at Heraclitus Sayz are gonna offer a sampler of cool, new lo-fi bands courtesy of Mundane Sounds, led by one familiar name, Colin Clary. | | | This young band will wow you on first listen, and they'll keep wowing you by the 50th listen. | | | Instead, they offer moody, introspective lyrics over an atmospheric rock backing…yeah, there's a Radiohead element, but let's not forget that they're a great band. |

| Â | Interview with Guided by Voices |
| | The Dayton band has been around since the mid-80s, originally writing tunes reminiscent of classic rock bands such as Led Zeppelin and Cheap Trick and immortalizing them via a shitty four-track recorder. | | | Plus, more so now then ever, Guided By Voices is a band, and I want input from my band and I want to take my time on the songs and I want them to come across really well live, so we take a little bit more time [to prepare before recording]. | | | That band is Guided by Voices, and the man behind it all is Bob Pollard. |

| | This is a pop band with bouncy rhythms and melodic vocals in a baritone range. | | | It seems as if so many bands have forgotten how significant it can be to use dissonance but the Mitchells make full use of it here and it works augmenting the song. | | | The album from this band from Boston has already been released in 1999. |

| Â | PopMatters Columns Pomo Audit Maim That Tune: The Moldy Peaches and the Apotheosis of Lo-Fi |
| | One reason is obvious: lo-fi tunes foreground the song (more specifically, the lyrics) at the expense of technical mastery. | | | The album is a crazy, loud, muddy mess, and you wonder what engineer John Brierly must have thought, since the record sleeve says "Many thanks to John Brierly for his trust". | | | Listen to the classic singles of Louis Jordan, or the Mercury sides of George Jones, and you get a clear sense of a brilliant artist transcending an ill-rehearsed band and one-take studio technology. |

| Â | "The Club is Open:" Robert Pollard and the Social Function of Popular Music |
| | I used to love to find bootlegs of old ‘60s bands that were just outtakes and unreleased songs. | | | Another interesting aspect of the band’s current marketing status is Nadine’s regular participation on the Postal Blowfish mailing list, informing the die-hard how the marketing effort is going (in very specific terms of what radio stations in what parts of the country are playing singles, etc.) and letting them know how they can help. | | | This solo/band split also became a problem with the band’s label, Matador, who thought flooding the market with Bob’s music could alienate fans who are trying to keep up, at the same time dilute the buying power of the potentially wider popular music audience. |
