Dustin Wong, guitarist for Ponytail, has posted some live performances.
Nothing screams summer like a free street fest, and this past summer Ponytail shredded Baltimore's Reverent Fog during their song Start a Corporation:

Lion Down:
BONUS:
Imagine if you and your BFF were rock 'em sock 'em robots dueling with guitars instead of plastic fists. Or watch this video of Dustin Wong's other band Ecstatic Sunshine and come up with your own analogy:

TOP OF THE POPS: MORE END OF YEAR LISTS 12/16/2006
Here at Morphius, perhaps no department is more in touch (literally) with new music than Distribution. And being the lemmings that we are, we decided to follow in the wake of a thousand blogs and music rags by releasing over own top 10 lists. But, all you really need to know is BEACH HOUSE. They made it onto everyone's list. OOIOO, LO MOdA, and Matmos also put in several appearances, with good reason.
Matt still believes in notions like hierarchy:
1. Beach House "Beach House"
2. Califone "Roots & Crowns"
3. Tim Hecker "Harmony in Ultra Violet"

NYLON MAGAZINE BIG UPS RIOT GRRRL DOCUMENTARY 11/24/2006
don't need you: the herstory of riot grrrl, fresh to DVD, has garnered notice on Pitchfork and in Nylon Magazine:
"Riot Grrrl has become a pop-culture term synonymous with black hair dye and combat boots, but Don't Need You: The Herstory of Riot Grrrl, a DVD documentary from Urban Cowgirl Productions, gets to the roots of the movement's early-'90s, DIY-music beginnings. Born of frustration with a corporate, male-dominated music industry, the Riot Grrrl movement spawned independent labels, fanzines, networks and shows, and set the stage for bands such as Bikini...

CAN THE EVENS STOP TIME? PITCHFORK WONDERS 11/10/2006
The new Evens album Get Evens is getting a lot of love here at Morphius, as it’s an imminently worthy follow-up to last year’s self-titled debut. Even Pitchfork gave it a warm review, ponying up a rating of 7.8, though writer Tom Breihan can’t seem to shake a nostalgia for the heyday of Fugazi. It’s hard to blame him as singer/guitarist Ian Mackaye casts a long shadow. Yet the Evens prove again they don’t need the crutch of hallowed punk pedigree, as they stand firmly on their own feet. Or, in the words of Breihan:

A BIT JAMES BOND: THE STORY BEHIND MUSIC DE WOLFE 11/09/2006
Occasionally a compilation comes out with a story behind it as fascinating as the music it features. Music De Wolfe is definitely one of these, a smash-up collection of fifteen funk and psych blasters, culled from the crème of the stalwart British De Wolfe Music Library by DJ and Megaphone Unlimited label head Jason Willet.
The Baltimore City Paper caught up with Willett, teasing out a tale of international jet-setting, a well-guarded vault, and burlesque girls as wild as any suave spy thriller De Wolfe music accompanied in its Swinging London heyday.... More >
PITCHFORK CONFESSES MUTUAL FEELINGS FOR PONY PANTS 11/07/2006
Pitchfork review of Pony Pants' track Pony Train:If you like going bonkers to dirty electro, there's really no excuse for you not being in Philly right now. A city that's already got Diplo, Spank Rock, and Plastic Little seems like it'd be set on sweaty party jams; nevertheless, here's Pony Pants, who make serrated dance-punk with drum machine undercarriages for anarchist kids. The trio does skating-rink pop with terse rhythms and notched guitars, and then caps it with Emily J.K.'s post-Le Tigre vocal anthems. New wave burner "Pony Train" is something of a theme... More >
