Jukebox the Ghost's Tommy Siegel and Tereu Tereu's and (DISCLOSURE DISCLOSURE) Washington City Paper's Ryan Little have started a label, you'll remember, and now that they've successfully Kickstarted that sucker, they're streaming some music. Specifically: The label's first release contains a trio of unreleased songs from Travis Morrison Hellfighters, that very funky band led for several [...]
Well, this is awkward. Washington City Paper contributor (and Tereu Tereu singer) Ryan Little is launching a new record label with his buddy Tommy Siegel (of Jukebox the Ghost and Drunken Sufis), and, obviously, we'd usually feel kind of weird about plugging it.
But screw it, because the first release on Bad Friend Records is pretty [...]
Brian Schanck was 15 years old when a friend played him Emergency & I, the third album by The Dismemberment Plan. “The music was euphonious and the lyrics hit home,” he says, recalling the D.C. indie rock band’s oddball pairing of funk rhythms and emo narrative. He dug it.
When Schanck turned 18, he tattooed the [...]
We're back, and we are obviously not refreshed. Because, really, look at the Hot Dang side of this week's Far Out vs. Hot Dang. There's a lot of disappointment there. This whole "serotonin levels" thing is a bitch. Or maybe we're just reflecting the zeitgeist? Maybe we're totally healthy and society is sick? Where's the [...]
You can bet that when he comes to D.C. in January for a handful of shows with the reunited Dismemberment Plan, Travis Morrison will be listening to Miles Davis. Why? Because he's working through the legendary jazz man's reallllllly long discography—just as he's done recently with Bob Dylan, Madonna, Bjork, Led Zep, and a bunch [...]

Travis Morrison has announced his retirement. We think. Morrison fronted the beloved and defunct Dismemberment Plan. He went on to release solo stuff, sing in church, and form a new band and release a well-received album in 2007. On Morrison's website, he or his web guru write: "Retired!"
