We asked Old 97’s frontman Rhett Miller to guest edit magnetmagazine.com this week, and he pawned it off on a bunch of his famous friends: other musicians, actors, writers and comedians. Well played, Rhett. But you can’t hide behind a self-titled solo album. Rhett Miller (Shout! Factory), a Beatlesque beauty featuring Jon Brion, is out this week.
John Dufilho sings for the Deathray Davies and I Love Math. He plays drums in the Apples In Stereo and on my new solo album. He has “feel.” Lots of it. John Dufilho recommends:
Maus Haus
My favorite thing I’ve stumbled on in quite a while is a San Francisco band called Maus Haus. I heard them on an Internet radio station, flipped out and immediately got their record. It’s constantly on in my house. They combine most everything I love: ‘60s pop-garage-electronic music/art rock/imagination. Great songwriting, very forward thinking. Check out “Rigid Breakfast” or “We Used Technology (But Technology Let Us Down)” for quick proof.
