Self described as a science fiction/indie rock band, Long Island’s This Good Robot are making a statement through both their sound and their presence. The latest material to find its way to “the shelves†from the act is The Light Is Taking Me To Pieces, slated for release on April 10th.
Just in case you missed anything while living under your rock, here’s all the insanity you can handle from February 23rd-March 1st.
It’s easy around this time of year to bury yourself in comfort food and sad songs, but you can only do that for so long before you need a change of pace. Once you’ve gotten your fill of indulging your winter blues (which we talked about in last week’s Tuesday Ten), it’s time to move on to curing them—and we’ve got the perfect playlist for that, too.
Hello, hello. This is your friendly local idobi Radio music director, Matt Vogel. I’m going to take some time each week to talk about the new additions to idobi Radio playlists, and try to help introduce you to some great new songs and artists.
Every music fan has a closet full of band tees — but how many can say they douse their lunch in a band’s branded hot sauce and eat it with a band’s branded plastic fork?
Today might be the last day of the 2014 CMJ Music Marathon but there is still a full day and night of events to go. We’ve made our final “Four Play†picks but it hasn’t been easy narrowing down our choices the last five days.

Even if you’re convinced that a band changing their sound is the worst thing that’s ever happened to you, it’s perfectly natural for someone’s music to develop and shift from album to album. But every once in a while, those shifts are so dramatic that the early work ends up sounding like it was released by an entirely different band than the more recent material.
Losing yourself in a ten-hour marathon of your favorite tv show is always fun, but it’s even more fun when you suddenly wake from your reverie at the sounds of some unknown, perfect song emerging from the speakers. For this week’s Tuesday Ten, we asked our writers about ten songs they fell in love with after hearing them on tv.
