Snobcast: The Raconteurs
Due to the Flu... I was unable to find you any new music for this week so I've compiled some classics. Starting it off is the "supergroup" The Raconteurs. Fun Fact: In Australia the band is forced to go by the name The Saboteurs due to conflicts with an Australian band with the name Raconteurs.…

Snobcast: Cyborg Umbrella
2008... the year for Hipster-hop? Maybe. I've been thinking about and using that term for a while (about a year now) and I was only a little surprised to see Blender use the hipster-hop phrase to describe the scene bubblying up in places like Chicago, Baltimore and NY. Read the full blog at...

Snobcast: I Was A Cub Scout
It seems funny that just two weeks ago I was denouncing electro-pop by playing Hot Chip and Boards of Canada, and this week I'm bringing you new UK synth-pop in the form of "Pink Squares" by I Was A Cub Scout. The first US released single from this band was dropped on the states last week. The...

Snobcast: British Sea Power
Here's what everyone else is saying: “A masterpiece of epic proportions” The Word “Brilliant songs… stirring anthemics… the glorious sound of a band going for broke” The Guardian **** “Dangerously epic” Daily Telegraph “Genius… a guitar laureate’s masterpiece” Maxim ***** “British Sea Power…

Snobcast: Hot Chip
Electro-pop. I’ve never liked the word. Like a cigar, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth and yet I always take one when offered. I feel like an amnesia sufferer when ever thinking of the topic. I will swear up-and-down that I can’t stand the genre and then I catch myself enjoying, ugh, Moby. Well,...

Snobcast: Cass McCombs
This week's feature artist is new to me, but may not be new to you. Cass McCombs first released his recordings in 2002 on Baltimore's Monitor Records and he's lived in about as many cities as years he's been recording his music. Going from California to Baltimore to New York to Michigan back to...

Snobcast: Lupe Fiasco
Lupe Fiasco hasn't been able to "Kick, Push" his way past the early hype that surrounded his first effort, '06s Food & Liquor. This is unfortunate considering he's this generations answer to the eminent group, A Tribe Called Quest. His rhymes are fun and intelligent and never plummet into the…

Snobcast: Golden Age Hip Hop Vol. 1
Father “Born Cipher Cipher” Guido has graciously let me hijack this week’s Snobcast to bring you a sampling of pre-1990 New School hip hop that I think is still as exuberant, fresh and thrilling as the day it was made. If these joints give you even a fraction of the pleasure they have given me, I...

Snobcast Top 40 Albums of 2007
Bring on the music of 2008. Please!! I don't want to hear another fucking song off Neon Bible, Kala, or Sky Blue Sky for a long time. Now I know I promised to have the official Donnybrook Best-Of list ready last week, but I just could not listen to any more Band of Horses. Now that I've detoxed...
