An MMS Indie Halloween

Our #Tubesday selections on this Hallows Eve are indie songs with a supernatural bent. We kick things off with Shakey Graves and Esmé Patterson and their hilarious video for "Dearly Departed". Their jaunty handclaps and silken harmonies belie their spectrally bad influence on a couple on the skids.

Next up is a live performance of "Anyone's Ghost" by The National in an abandoned castle overlooking the Hudson River. The tragedy of this song is more metaphor than metaphysic, as our unnamed narrator feels like an afterthought in a relationship with a divide that's internal rather than physical.

We wrap up our indie Halloween with Band of Horses' "Is There A Ghost". This song is legendary is in its economy, a shade over 3 minutes with 2 repeated lines of lyrics. I've no idea what it means, but it's a great song for group sing-a-longs or indie karaoke.

Wednesday Is For (Local) Lovers - Friday Concert Previews

On the early side, we have Two Dragons and a Cheetah and allthebestkids at Red Panda House. You might recall our coverage of 2D+C's protest song just prior to the new year. Like a post-modern Local H, Maryjo Mattea and Joel Wu craft a sound that's inordinately loud for a duo, but manages to be toe-tappingly engaging at the same time. Mattea's vocals juxtaposes the operatic timbre of Pat Benatar with the dusky sensuality of The Divinyls' Christina Amphlett, while drummer Wu imparts a funky, hardcore sensibility to the duo's songs. The pair live in different cities, a la The Postal Service, so catching a live show in DC is a rare treat.

We Fought the Big One hosts its 14th anniversary concert at Marx Cafe later Friday evening. BLACKLODGE + em.g, the duo comprised of Paperhaus frontman Alex Tebeleff and Maggie Gilmore, con…
