Look at Elijah Wood, beaming like a 3rd grader during show-and-tell.

Brooklyn folk artist and longtime Apples friend/collaborator Steve Keene (who has also worked with Pavement) painted the guitar, which you can currently bid on here.

If you're feeling low on blindingly bright pop songs about math equations and cranking up the radio, The Apples in Stereo are here to help. Denver's indie pop standard-bearers and Elephant 6 Recording Collective old schoolers are releasing a b-sides and rarities collection to follow up last year's New Magnetic Wonder.

The new disc, entitled Electronic Projects for Musicians (named after a 1980 how-to manual by Craig Anderton), will... read more
Found in: Music, NewsIndependent Music Awards '08: celebrating the underdog
Most indie music award programs end up becoming little more than a celebration of "indie famous" and blog-buzz acts. The Independent Music Awards, meanwhile, take a different tack, granting exposure to a host of artists that even the most dedicated music junkie has never heard of. This year's list of nominees features a few notable names: indie pop heroes The Apples In Stereo (nominated twice over and pictured above) and blues veterans Ike Turner and Koko Taylor. After that, however, one finds a collection of regional acts just looking for a big break. This year, music fans will get the... read more
Found in: Music, NewsRobert Schneider loves math
For most people, releasing an acclaimed 24-track album and energetically touring to support it is a solid year’s work. But the Apples in Stereo’s Robert Schneider is all about effort, so rather than sitting back, sipping on a mint julep, and basking in the New Magnetic Wonder, the Apples’ frontman has lined up quite an offbeat gig. Schneider is making waves in a far more exclusive and cerebral realm than the most snobby indie rock clubs: the world of mathematics. He will appear at this year’s MathFest, hosted by The Mathematical Association of America. The favorite musician of numerically-minded academics... read more
