video: motion city soundtrack – happy anniversary [acoustic] (2012)

MCS’s go was a disappointing departure for myself, especially after considering how great my dinosaur life was. however, “happy anniversary” was definitely my favorite track from the record, and i’m glad to see it get this kind of treatment. and that treatment (a full band acoustic rendition) would do wonders for plenty of other songs from these guys. wonder if they’ve thought of putting out an album like damnesia.

say, what? whatever happened to jenny lewis and those rilo fellas anyway? no worries, because justin pierre and company are heading towards us with a new box set, making moves, to which this song belongs. strange song to cover, regardless.

play: motion city soundtrack’s 8-bit game, ‘true romance’ (2012)

is this the best thing to come from the disappointing new MCS album? probably. all i know is that it reminds me of ‘emo game.’ those were the days. anyway, head to the official site to play the game and kill some time.

stream: motion city soundtrack – major leagues (2012)

ok, you can get that sour taste of ‘go’ out of your mouth – i know it wasn’t just me. but that’s ok, because the best bands always bounce back in fans eyes, right?! thankfully, “major leagues” is a step in the right direction, and if we’re talking albums, i’m leaning toward my dinosaur life. on november 6th, the band will be releasing a 7” with two songs, this one and “severance.”

stream “major leagues” via RS.

news: justin pierre (MCS) to guest on P.O.S.’s upcoming album (2012)

weird news, indeed. the minneapolis connection is there, so i’m not that surprised, but it seems the doomtree and motion city soundtrack head honchos will link up for a couple of tracks on we don’t even live here.

still have memories of the good timez we all had at the purevolume/AP.net party at sxsw. stef’s album drops oct. 23rd.

and after a handful of single leaks and releases, epitaph records puts the entire new MCS album up for your streaming pleasure at soundcloud. from what i heard, this is definitely more of a down tempo version of MCS than we’re used to, but we all know that their songwriting is top notch. listen below.

event recap: SXSW 2012 (march 15-17, 2012)


photo credit: TSS

We’re seasoned vets when it comes to SXSW. For the last 6 years, we’ve been at the festival to some capacity, regardless of how drunk we got or how bad our allergies were. And while last year’s festival left us jaded and hesitant of the crowds, we headed to Austin for a few days to engage in whatever came our way.

Review after the jump.
