What’s a Milks and Rectangles look like?

You can spot a milk (or a rectangle, as the case may be) a million miles away. These four 20-something, East Coast based band members, Justin Uyterlinde (guitar), Mike Carver (drums), Christian Ledwell (guitar and vocals), and Brandon Williams (bass and microKORG) are easily identified in their baseball tees, suspenders, vests, Ray-Bans, shaggy haircuts and awkward Michael Cera-esque grins that inevitably melt even the most cynical and jaded of hearts.

What do Milks and Rectangles sound like?
They sound like a band that’s more than worth multiple spins, because each repeated listen reveals something, a new layer, a new feeling, that you missed on the last go-round. More specifically, Milks and Rectangles are making intelligent, catchy, constantly shifting indie rock that kind of reminds me of Franz Ferdinand and kind of makes me dance around my living room.

Where can I hear more about this band?
The band has been spending the summer touring around the Maritimes in support of their upcoming release Civic Virtues, produced and engineered by Daniel Ledwell (In-Flight Safety, The Prospector’s Union). Check out their MySpace and Facebook pages for concert dates.

    Never has a lackluster excuse for journalism left a more detestable wallop in my mouth. Is this fashion news or a banal attempt at chauvinistic clout? Grim days lie ahead for those whose hearts are true to indulgent relation from responsible scriveners. A ghastly, harebrained future awaits and only those who devote their credence to these partial blogs shall prosper. As for the rest of us, we are doomed to follow, much to our chagrin.

  • Chauvenistic Clout?

    To Lawn Mower Lawrence:
    Never has an anonymous indulgence of such negative proportions stirred my blood so quickly. That is a mightly high, large, solid-hoofed, herbivorous ungulate, mammal you are on. If you look down, you may notice the ever intricate influences between the Houses of the Arts. Grim days lie ahead for those true feminist hearts, who save their breath for actual sightings of chauvinism.

    I know you’re really desperate for a friend, but you shouldn’t try to start a game of mad libs in the comments section. This space is provided for level-headed people who want to make legitimate comments about the blog, not for lonely shut-ins with a thesaurus fetish.

    Personally, I enjoy this blog. I think that Bulman is a great source for information on Charlottetown style, and an entertaining writer to boot. If you really don’t enjoy this blog, you might find one you do like if you spent less time writing sentences that make the reader feel like they’re walking through mud.

    I’ve enjoyed this blog from day one. I think Andie’s take on fashion in Charlottetown is fun and hilarous. I like the pop culture references. I like the way she forms her sentences. I just like it.

    I respect everyone’s right to an opinion, but I think calling Andie lacklustre, when you probably don’t know her, is going a little far. She’s clearly a passionate person.

    I also think that everyone reading this blog should keep in mind that Charlottetown is a small place. Obviously there’s going to be a connection between the writer and the people she writes about.

    Andie, another awesome blog! I really love your presentation and perspective on that which you write about. Never a dull read, always something new or interesting to find out about! Some people should spend more time mowing their lawns and less time with a thesaurus trying to sound intelligent!

    That first comment is baffling for a few reasons, the least of which isn’t that there’s nothing wrong with this in terms of journalism.

    That said, I’m pretty stoked that I don’t get detestable wallops in my throat when I read poor journalism. That would put me off most news, I think.

    Anyhow, I’m going to collect some wares for the grim, ghastly days that lay ahead on the blogosphere . . . . some water bottles, flashlights, and a usb cable for my ipod.
