TOP TEN ALBUMS OF 08



As the year comes to a close, we should reflect on what we're thankful for. I can't lie; we got this idea from NPR's All Songs Considered podcast (which we highly recommend). The hosts aptly describe 2008 as "an impressively bearded year."

You can download a list of 100 albums by clicking on the "vote" link in this article, and you even download the podcast, if you want! I would.

Here's Devon's top 10 list, in no particular order :
Islands' Arm's Way
Jenny Lewis' Acid Tongue
Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago
Dr. Dog's Fate
Conor Oberst's Conor Oberst
Vampire Weekend's Vampire Weekend
Fleet Foxes' Fleet Foxes
Human Highway's Moody Motorcycle
Jack's Mannequin's The Glass Passenger
The Decemberists' Always a Bridesmaid EP

what's yours look like?

December 5, 2008

SO MUCH SOUP NEWS!




It's been awhile since we've blogged, dear Soupers, so there will be several HUGE HUGE things in this entry.

1.Click here for a downloadable version of Devon's interview with Ahmed Gallab, the newly welcomed drummer from Of Montreal! - Feather boas, crazy cars, and more. Recorded from the 11/14 broadcast.

2. It's Thanksgiving time, which means Black Friday, which also means, sadly, there is no Alphabet Soup for any of us this upcoming Friday - go be insane, frenzied shoppers instead.

3. BE SURE to tune in December 5, though (at the usual time, of course), for Alphabet Soup's exclusive recorded interview with SONDRE LERCHE! He spoke with us (Devon) before his show here yesterday, Saturday the 22nd, at the Paradise Rock Club. Listen in for sharks, Burt Bacharach, and 007!

STAY TUNED! ♥
peace, love, and little letter-shaped noodles,
devon, jane and chicken lips

UPDATE 11/17

Hey Soupers,

Be sure you check out one of the shows that's happening tonight (or both?!): Jack's Mannequin with fun. (Nate from The Format's new band) at the Paradise OR Margot and the Nuclear So and So's at T. T. The Bear's Place. JM is definitely sold out, but if you're a superfan, you'll be able to swipe some scalper tickets at the doors, most likely. Do it for me--sadly, it seems that my academics always get in the way of my education.

Stay tuned--this week's letter is N!
Lots of REALLY GOOD stuff coming up in the next month on Alphabet Soup.
...and when we say REALLY GOOD, we mean REALLY GOOD.


We'll be posting the mp3 of the Ahmed interview soon...as soon as we figure out the technology! :)

sincerely yours,
d,j,&cl

Raincoat Song

Hey Soupers! I know you all love The Decemberists as much as I do, so I thought I'd share this song with you. They played it at the show at the Orpheum this past Thursday. It's called "Raincoat Song" and it's brilliantly simple: a Colin Meloy masterpiece.

my forcible insomnia=your benefit

Hey Soupers,

As I sit here beating my brain around my skull cavity writing a paper at 3am, I thought I'd recommend some "Late Night Paper Writing Albums," and the moods they bring around, for you, in the future, if you ever have a night like this one.

1. Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago: calming/inspiring!
2. Fleet Foxes' Fleet Foxes: reassuring
3. Conor Oberst's Conor Oberst: rev it up! (okay, I know I don't make sense anymore. Forgive?)

What about you? Do you have a couple albums that you revert to when studying/working late into the night/morning? Let us know!

Don't Be Mad: Week 8 Letter A

I forgot to note all the songs we played this week. Forgive me; if, for some strange reason, you have a strong urge to know a song we played, leave a comment and we'll try to help you out.

Anyway, to quell the outrage I know ALL of our fans are harboring at the moment, here are some new artists to check out (in case you hadn't already heard of them--if you had, you're cooler than I).

Fleet Foxes: new album (self-titled)! So stoked. A more folky, spiritually inclined Dr. Dog. Check out "Quiet Houses" especially.
Janelle Monáe: Playing CMJ in New York this weekend. Blend of Fergie, Andre 3000, and Amy Winehouse. Not usually a fan of these artists, but she's GREAT.

Leave some love, some hate, whatever! We love you, Soupers!

DR. DOG ON NPR'S ALL SONGS CONSIDERED

Hey, Soupers...I know you'll enjoy this as much as I did (well, I hope you do). It's the "Tiny Desk Concert" that All Songs Considered does every so often with bands they like; essentially the band huddles in the tiny space behind Bob Boilen's desk and are videotaped playing a short set.

This is Dr. Dog's Tiny Desk Concert. It made my night of studying and paper-editing more bearable. Enjoy.



(click on the photo, silly.)

I exist in the blogging world!

I ventured out of the alphabet soup facebook group all the way to blogger! This time it's a real post too not just a fakey fake one.

If you enjoy skunks and/or humans you would love everything about this song. If you don't, then we'll only love you if you like bears, frogs or dinos. Otherwise, we question your love of alphabet soup.

10/10: Dr. Dog & Delta Spirit @ Middle East Downstairs

There is a certain type of show that stays with you for a good, long time...and the Americana rock trinity who took a sold-out Middle East Downstairs by storm on Friday night certainly delivered one of them.

It is not often that a first-opener does anything for you except give you a chance to grab another beer, go outside for a smoke, and/or hold your ears shut and scream in agony. Not so, however, with Hacienda, a San Antonio quartet who stayed true to their roots with a solidly talented 45-minute set of Beatles-infused soul rock. Songs like "Hear Me Crying" and "She's Got a Hold On Me" had the audience thoroughly converted; then, a strange thing happened: these scruffy Texas boys got the hipsters to dance. Indeed, a considerably large circle of plaided, skinny-jeaned kids in the center of the dance floor began moving, to the beat of the music, and apparently enjoying themselves. The set ended with a guest harmonica appearance by the fedora'd and well-received Scott McMicken (of Dr. Dog)--this show was to be henceforth fraught with collaboration, one of the most impressive qualities of the performances. It should go without saying that Hacienda went above and beyond the call of duty and demonstrated what opening bands should have had from the beginning: talent. Take note, fledglings.

Up next was the grungy blues-folk powerhouse, Delta Spirit. It's a miracle and a blessing how Matt Vasquez (lead vocals, guitar) keeps his larynx intact after so much screaming. The lyrics "If you're feelin' what I'm feelin', come on/All you soul-searchin' people, come on!" resonated throughout the club, with a couple hundred people screaming it back onto the stage. Delta Spirit seemed relatively indifferent to their adoring fans, smiling only once or twice if at all, but it's safe to say that the fans themselves could not have cared less. Yet again, hipsters (and bros alike!) danced, and the set ended with even MORE collaboration, with every member of Dr. Dog flooding the stage with drumsticks, maracas, and awesomeness.

Finally, after hours and hours of waiting, the headliners arrived onstage—and by no means was the waiting in vain. Dr. Dog, the charismatic indie-blues quintet birthed in Philadelphia, kicked off a power hour of punch-you-in-the-gut folk rock with the song “The Old Days” from their newest album, Fate. Following this was a whirlwind of old and new material, including songs like “Hang On,” “The Girl,” “100 Years,” and “The Beach.” And the encore…oh, the encore. While the crowd had been shouting for a number of songs throughout the set, no one song title was thrown out more than “Die Die Die,” which rumbled into existence as the band re-mounted the stage and every voice in the club began singing—or wailing—along. By the end, every member of both Hacienda and Delta Spirit had joined the band onstage, Vasquez complete with a coffee pot full of beer, in a full-blown cacophony of what can only be described as the very essence of thumping, rasping, good old American blues. As a fan put it numerous times, screaming over the crowd’s roar, holding his hands to the sides of his head in disbelief, “Oh my god! This! Is! Incredible! Best night of my life!”

To put it simply, listening to recordings of this band is not enough to appreciate the full talent that is the work of McMicken (lead guitar & vocals), Toby Leaman (bass & vocals), Zach Miller (keys & vocals), Juston Sens (drums & vocals), and Frank McElroy (rhythm guitar & vocals). With each song’s performance came even louder, more soulful laments than their albums could have communicated. There’s definitely something to be said for a band that makes great records and then manages to render the music even more spectacular by roughing it up completely. The grating harshness of Dr. Dog’s live set qualified the whole night as an unforgettable show, one that should not, under any circumstances, be missed when it comes to town again.

Vedera

A friend of mine introduced me to this band just now. They're called Vedera, and this is an acoustic version of their song, "A World Apart." What do you think? Are they too much like Paramore? Or is this girl just phenomenal? Let us know your thoughts, Soupers.

October 5, 2008

a fun cover

This is a project Okkervil River put together in accordance with their new album, The Stand Ins. They had a bunch of equally cool bands cover their songs acoustic and video tape them and put them on YouTube. This is Bon Iver performing "Blue Tulip." I haven't heard the real version yet but this one will DEFINITELY suffice. Enjoy, Soupers.

October 3, 2008

A Post Script

Definitely check out the newest edition of Under the Radar magazine. There's a great article about Jenny Lewis and her inspirations for her new album, Acid Tongue.



--
The website also has some cool stuff about their last edition, which was the ever-so-alternative "Protest Issue," which actually has some TOTZ HAWT pictures of Colin Meloy, Conor Oberst, Fleet Foxes, St. Vincent, and more.

I might have to subscribe.
