We did an Aqueduct giveaway in February to celebrate singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/pop song guru David Terry's third full-length album. And now we're doing another one to herald his triumphant set of record release shows this Saturday at the Croc. So f-ing what? There's no denying Terry's mature pop sensibilities (try as you might, Pitchfork), and everybody knows Aqueduct is certifiably awesome live, with Terry and friends playing over pre-recorded samples and beats, adding layers of texture to the already-dense sound. more ›

There' a constant ebb and flow when it comes to the music we love. Sometimes it seems like there's just nothing interesting out there.

And then sometimes we find ourselves hauling fist-fulls of new music to the counter of our favorite record store. more ›

Or, y'know, you could go out and buy it, now that it's available for purchase. more ›

If there's one thing singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist David Terry loves, it's a juicy pop hook. On his third Aqueduct full-length, Or Give Me Death [stream the entire album here], along with big drum sounds and ELO synth riffs, he's incorporated mariachi horns, string arrangements, layered vocals, and piano lines, making it his most mature release yet. And yes, we say that knowing full well that the album contains "As You Wish" [mp3], which just so happens to be the best blatant Princess Bride-cribbing song EVER. more ›
