Foreign Born - Keep It In MindForeign Born’s Person to Person remains a perennial summer favorite around these parts. Sadly, it does not look like we will be seeing a follow up to that record anytime soon. Secretly Canadian, the bands label, is reporting that the band will be going on indefinite hiatus as the members focus on other projects. As a parting gift, the guys have offered up a new song, their first since Person to Person . “Keep It In Mind” shakes and grows with the same spirited energy that made their album such a stand-by. mp3: Foreign Born - Keep It In MindCities of the Plain3 August 2011

Radio K releases tape comp of "in-studios," ..We all wax poetic about our old days as radio hosts for our college FM station. If you were never a DJ with college/community radio, then you wax poetic — or bitter — about how inspiring, gratifying, groundbreaking the experience might've been, if only you were given the chance, dammit. Well, the University of Minnesota has a pretty good radio station — so good that they've established an impressive tradition of in-studio performances from amazing artists big and small, and as proof they make tape compilations of these to share outside of Radio K's broadcast area. The newest comp ...Tiny Mix Tapes9 April 2011

2009: OverlookedIn anticipation of the annual year-end review, here is a collection of five favorite overlooked songs that were not included in last year's list . This is a recognition of some tracks released in 2009 that either got a raw deal last December or simply weren't discovered until after the calendar changed... Foreign Born "Vacationing People" There's no second of wasted energy in "Vacationing People." The song is performed like Foreign Born have only so much gas to get them to where they're going — but they've got a long way to go. As a result, every ...Jonk Music31 December 2010

Fool's Gold at the Echo on Monday December 2 ..Why are so many bands playing African music now? I suppose it’s a trend but the result is not the same for everyone, and Fool’s Gold, the Los Angeles band (not the stupid movie with Matthew McConaughey) is closer to the roots of the music that inspires them than, let’s say Vampire Weekend. The large band, which was playing just before Shadow Shadow Shade at the Echo on Monday night, could barely fit with all their instruments on the small stage, since they have so many percussion, drums, congas, maracas, saxophone… Their fusion music is really more ...Rock NYC22 December 2010
