Last night a friend invited me to see a screener of a new movie by John Turturro and Joel Cohen, “Rosebuds & Cigarettes.” [actually it's "Romance & Cigarettes," my mistake]. I thought it was a funny coincidence after having seen The Rosebuds play with Portastatic at Spaceland the night before.

I know these guys don’t need any further promotion, but after seeing Alec play solo twice and the band once, I just have more and more respect.
Aspyr Media recently commisioned a number of indie rockers to record covers of 50′s tunes for the upcoming xbox game, Stubbs The Zombie.

The drumming while playing keyboards is definitely an interesting gimmick, but other than occasional vocal batterings of Micah (these 2 must have dated at some point), the focus is on Annie and her endearing, cute demeanor and strong vocals. They sound like a mix between 2nd album Hole (that’s not bad like it sounds) with Stinky Puffs cuteness, but the vocals vary between sleepy Mazzy Star and a stronger Mirah.
