Good morning! I need a haircuit! But I won't be getting one from this guy! Any recommendations, readers?
Here are some things I might do this weekend!
- That mind-fucking Ramin Bahrani short starring the disembodied voice of Werner Herzog as a morose plastic bag? It's showing this weekend as part of the Environmental Film Festival. RiYL: Easy [...]
It's true: This year's South by Southwest feels like it ended 48 months ago. I already briefly pondered the South by Southwest postmortem, which is surely its own codified form by now. It's several weeks later, but the content bomb that All Our Noise just dropped—which includes over a dozen videos the site's Denman C. [...]
On Tuesday morning All Our Noise posted an interview with Sean Gray and Chris Berry, the owners of Fan Death Records. Chatting with reporter Denman C. Anderson, the pair discussed their favorite bands, the history of their label, and their plans to release a comedy record.
They also voiced a few rankling opinions about the [...]
When it comes to reinterpreting the music of the past, Stewart Lupton has a pretty expert touch. In Jonathan Fire*Eater, he got some real mileage out of Mick Jagger circa '69. Child Ballads' Cheekbone Hollows EP made clever connections between Bobby Charles' rootsy schtick and Royal Trux-style decadence. But Dean Martin? Seems like a [...]
A few weeks ago Shortstack came out of hiding and performed a show at Comet Ping Pong. I went here instead. Fortunately, All Our Noise was there and shot some footage of the band. And they're rocking out. The band's past couple of releases–History of Cut Nails in America and 2008's Covers EP–had some grit, [...]
D.C.-based folky Vandaveer–who just released his new album, Divide & Conquer–will be performing a free show tonight over at Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage.
All Our Noise recently shot this footage of him performing a couple of songs at Comet Ping Pong:

These United States' new record, Everything Touches Everything, landed yesterday. It's a little bit more rocking than the bands prior releases, as evidenced by the various singles that have been posted on this blog. But if all that electric guitar work has you ready to make like Pete Seger–taking an axe to the power cable–this [...]
When Justin Moyer isn't busy contributing to Washington City Paper he can often be found wearing a dress and singing slightly-bratty post-punk songs under the name Edie Sedgwick. Call it a commentary on the nature of celebrity. Or call it a conscious attempt to transcend the confines of the ordinary. Or, well, just watch [...]
For the last several months Hume–aka DC-based musician Britton Powell–has been traveling India on a musical-spiritual-journey, very likely accruing all manner of esoteric wisdom. It sounds like a pretty good time, at least judging by his correspondence. One drawback, however, is that his absence has cast a shadow over the District's progressive-rock/dub-string-quartet scene. Fortunately, All [...]
Sean Peoples, founder/czar of the SocketsCDR label, dropped us an email to answer questions and to dish about Little Women, Sonic Circuits, and "hip-hop from the future."
This past year was busy. I can't think of much by way of disappointments, but the following stood out and really made 2008 for me:
Dmerit is a DJ/production duo [...]
