Starting March 31st, Stereogum will have a song-by-song tribute to Bjork’s groundbreaking 2nd solo album “Post.” “Enjoyed” has an impressive who’s who of indie rockers is on the list (see below). I know this eclectic record infused my adolescent gayness with beats and piqued my curiosity for artier/electronic interests, so it’s no wonder we see so many fellow gays up in here: Atlas Sound, Xiu Xiu and Final Fantasy w/ Ed Droste all contribute. Like the R.E.M. and Radiohead albums Stereogum did in the past, these will be downloadable for a limited time only. Below are some tracks from the R.E.M. tribute that you might be interested in (maybe).

1. Liars – “Army Of Me”

Kate Cooper–Many Band Lady

March 25, 2008

Australian based Kate Cooper is a busy, talented, lady. Her band Iron On hits a satisfying spot in a place that normally get ejected these days: indie rock. Let’s face it, boy fronted, Death Cab-biting jingle jangle rock bands are crawling all over each other on blogs and magazines alike. Iron On touches on dissonant Rainer Maria-type melodies with a sensitive Promise Ring-y guitar crunch that reminds us that rock isn’t dead, just going through another regrouping phase. “One Man Band,” and “Snow” are what I am talking about. Cooper’s side gig An Horse is touring with Tegan & Sara this spring. That puts them in an advantageous position to get some more exposure, and possibly turn An Horse into her main focus. They have an EP called “Not Really Scared” coming out April 12th on Valve/MGM records. We need more female fronted indie rock, don’t you think? A couple of tracks below.

Iron On–Learn Today Ear Tomorrow

An Horse–Little Little Little

An Horse–Shoes Watch
