We call it “The Moment Jay-Z and Warren Buffett” discussed ties and formal attire. We fucking hate rich people.

Weakness Wednesday: The Fresh & Onlys “Waterfall”
December 28th, 2011
Even though this song came out in 2010, our appreciation for it and the San Francisco-based Fresh & Onlys grew in 2011, and this could be our favorite song of the entire year. These are the reasons why SF is the best place on Earth… our music scene has ramped up again…

25 Things We Liked In Music In 2011
December 28th, 2011
We wanted to make a list, a top-21 list, but we think order doesn’t really matter to us anymore. It just about impact, and we aren’t talking about the impact that these songs had on the world-at-large, but the songs that we cherished, remembered, spent time with, and really felt defined our lives in 2011. Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, Girls, Radiohead, Noel Gallagher, Dirty Beaches, Beach Fossils, Real Estate, and Woods all called our stereo home, while Madlib, Shabazz Palaces, and the Beastie Boys all had their major moments with us on various drives/road trips/moments in the city this year. So without further ado, here are 25 songs that we feel entered our canon of favorites this year. Enjoy, and welcome to 2012. —Raymond Brown / The Citrus Report staff

New and Free Hello Evening album
December 21st, 2011
Some brand new tunage from a SF band we know and like a fair amount. They’re giving their newest release away for free to download here (guess the holiday spirit got to them), so get over to their page and give it a download because it’s a pretty rad, moody at times, vintage-feeling, slightly pop-oriented at times, honest-sounding, fun-invoking indie album that we think you’ll like.
Listen/Download here:
hello evening by hello evening

Fleet Foxes continue their brilliance with the “The Shrine/An Argument” Animation
November 21st, 2011
The Shrine / An Argument from Sean Pecknold on Vimeo.
Fleet Foxes are one of the better “new” bands of the music scene over the past 5 years, and what we always like is that they have a created family to work with when it comes to music videos. Frontman Robin Pecknold’s brother, Sean, just made this great animation for the epic 8-minute song, “The Shrine/An Argument”, featuring some character illustrations from FIFTY24SEA Gallery alumnist (and Citrus feature) Stacey Rozich.

Wolf Larsen “Quiet at the Kitchen Door” is amazing
October 26th, 2011
We’re going to share this with you because it’s amazing and we believe everyone should probably hear it. It sounds like what magic feels like when you’re a child. There’s only four tracks on this EP, but it’s an achievement, so give it a listen here.

Thom Yorke says: “It’s not who you steal from, it’s how you steal”
October 10th, 2011
Thom Yorke gets all John Lennon on us. In talking about how the new album, The King of Limbs, came together, he gave a very honest answer about imitating and stealing. He told NPR’s Guy Raz, “We’re not trying to be experimental or anything. When I first started doing demo’s on my own, I was quite a good imitator. I see it in my daughter, she’s the same. You’re constantly learning from other music and then there’s that Lennon thing about it, ‘It’s not who you steal from, it’s how you steal.’ I’m constantly absorbing other music and that’s what stimulates me the most. And to have the ability within our group with Nigel to move around in all these different areas.”
And we just stole this post from a good place: AtEase.
And this is how to play experimental music live…

Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi “Theme of ‘Rome”
September 25th, 2011
When in Rome, listen to the music of Rome. We were given this album by Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi while in Italy this week, and we were really into this opening track from the album. It sounds good while rushing southbound.

The Nike Back to The Future “Behind The Shoe” Video
September 19th, 2011
The Nike MAG “Back to the Future/Marty McFly” shoe and marketing campaign has been the talk of the town over the past few weeks, with everyone who has ever been moved by a little McFly into the shoe. Nike just released a “A look back the a project 23 years in the making” video, which is like Behind the Music, only with a shoe.
