What's Your Favorite Song?


By: Estefania Alvarez

Everyone has at least one song that matters. It hits that chord inside of you that just reminds you of your saddest or happiest moments. You play it on repeat until your ears bleed the lyrics, but you listen to it months later and it’s as if you just heard it for the first time yesterday. All you music nerds and cynical nihilists will probably ask why this even matters, but be honest with yourselves my fellow music lovers! Some of the songs you have passively skipped on the radio or light heartedly listen to while browsing the internet mean something. They mean something to the person who let you borrow their pencil during that Geology GE or helped you up after you tragically and embarrassingly fell off your bike (we’ve all crashed on our sweet rides, don’t even lie). Music binds us, not divides us and these songs matter:

Erykah Badu- Next Lifetime
The Velvet Underground- Oh! Sweet Nuthin’
Interpol- Leif Erickson
Friends and Lovers- Incubus

Typhoon Comes To Davis


Typhoon, a 13 person band hailing from Portland, Oregon, stopped by Armadillo Records this weekend to play an acoustic set before their headlining show at The G Street Wunderbar later that evening.  Although their set was acousitc, they still brought out their full band, cramming over 11 musicians into Armadillo. Complete with trumpets, drums, acoustic guitars, and violins, Typhoon truly filled up the store with their sounds.  They were touring to promote their new 7inch "Common Sentiments" that came out on the label Tender Loving Empire in late October.

Davis was their last stop in California before heading back up to Oregon, but make sure to check them out next time they come on through.  They put on a fantastic live show, and it's always amusing to see how they fit all their members in the venue.

Anne Halo Interviews Fine Steps:

Julian Eloduy can be described as willowy. He has a strong core presence coupled with bits of softness. His guitar chimes happily through poppy, full-bodied tunes. Julian's brooding voice gives you a peek at the pain of his inspiration which casts a haunting shadow, but there's always a beautiful hopefulness that shines through. No matter how tough you think you are, we all have a weakness for love.

AH: Julian, I've seen you play in a few bands; Mayyors, Vichy Water, and The Standard Tribemen. All of them sound quite different from one another. How did Fine Steps come about?
