It seems everyone is buzzing over the video because of Scarlett Johansson acting as its character in focus. And why not, she’s beautiful and talented and this throwback vignette showcases not only her ability to encapsulate a different time, but it gives Dylan’s “When The Deal Goes Down” even more of an “America The [...]
Lead by the stripped down, honky-tonkless Jimmy Dale Gilmore vocals of Evan Dvorsak The Gilded Age sound straight out of a retrospective time capsule film on the deep south round the turn of the century. There are so many individual pieces of sound that seem handpicked to suit their individual place in the larger [...]
Native Brazillian, Eliane Elias takes a curiously formulated stumble through bossa nova influenced jazz numbers and ivory reggae classics, seemingly for fun, while having solidified a solid reputation on the traditional jazz scene. Bearing down for 14 shows over 5 nights at the high profile series “Jazz at Lincoln Center” shows the tremendous passion [...]
This performance from Outkast has a strange feel to it, as it gives one of the first public looks at the new album, finding that Big Boi and Andre 3000 might once again be far ahead of the curve. Though the album and movie have both been received to a variety of critical opinion [...]
Having never really given the band much of a chance until now, the song “Bang Bang You’re Dead” comes off as an abolutely catchy in a Brit-pop-rock kind of way.
“Wouldn’t It Be Nice” is a unique experience when understanding its beauty, especially so after countless times hearing it only within the context of classic pop radio. Taking into account the critical aspect of this round’s listening session, the lyrics to the song, no matter how many “oldies” stations it may occupy at any [...]
These songs, though received to a critical hailstorm, are some of the shining few on the album that many love, and many more hate. I’m one of the few in the middle, really enjoy some of the tracks, but can’t get past a the lack of innovation. Either way the songs come off [...]
Berkeley’s The Morning Benders take time to stress the simple sounding bands that laid the groundwork for its sound, showing that even the simplest sounding songs are indeed far from unstructured. Singer/guitarist Chris Chu effortlessly acts as a guiding light as the Benders encompass a genre somewhere in between alt-country and folk-core (that’s right, [...]
This song finds a lot of beauty in the visuals that accompany it in its music video…so, it’s fitting that when performing it live on Letterman Norman Cook was accompanied by both MC Lateef and world class juggler Chris Bliss.
Funky Nashville. The name alone screams “DON’T LISTEN TO ME!” This coming from the perspective of someone who has listened to countless “funky” country bands in America’s Midwest, all dripping of country-fried arrogance, all finding it troublesome to muster any real sense of musical identity. What if, just what if, this band [...]
Jocke, one half of Stockholm’s Teddybears, explains the effect of the band’s formative years on its current sound, “Nowadays, there’s not a lot of punk in our music anymore I guess. We get some outlet for that kind of frustration in other areas of our lives, like painting, skateboarding and Nietzsche-reading.” Though it [...]
M. Ward is one of those musicians that either attracts you immediately or shows little immediate appeal. If this song, from his latest album Post War, shows little immediate appeal for you then friend, you might need to rethink a few things about what it is you’re listening to.
Directed by Thomas Lien and Joachim Solum and shot on 35mm film in Norway The Majestic Twelve’s new video for “Trapped Underwater” comes as somewhat of a surprise release from an album that holds so many possible singles. The video gives an amazing literal accompaniment to the songs lyrics, proving a harsh beauty beneath [...]
It was the opening day of the State Fair and the weather was atrocious. Months we had waited, my sister and I, and up to this point the summer had been one of the hottest and driest in history. But today was one of those days that balanced the averages as nature leveled [...]
One of my deepest regrets of the year (musically) is that I hadn’t found out about Lady Sovereign before roughly February, and much of grime outside Dizzee Rascal for that matter too. Her charisma, both on and off the mic, allows for a unique musical experience, creating a speedy flow throughout her rhymes without [...]
What the deuce, Edwin has a new album? While I’ve been living outside of Canada for the last half-decade I haven’t been updated all that frequently with Canadian semi-celebs such as this rocker. With history smacking me in the face, however, the news that he is releasing a new album came as somewhat [...]
Tobias Fröberg’s delightful press release, which presented the quote in the title, shows the light-sounding Fröberg as an absolutely charming, delicious taste of Scandinavia. “Tobias Fröberg is from Sweden. We should all be so lucky. It’s only the world capital of love and smiling and perfect indie pop. It’s also the place where Tobias [...]
What do you do when you find yourself at one of the best places you’ve been at in the past decade, reuniting with former band mates, and about to embark on a tour with American punk gods? Why, you play with your band on your own show. It’s what I’d do… Here’s [...]
My favorite quote of the day came from a comment left on a previous post featuring audio from Iron Maiden’s upcoming release A Matter of Life and Death, “Only 1 solo :(” How cool is that? The fan had some other nice words about the song, but was bummed cause Maiden only kicked [...]
I will forever rue the day that I neglected to write about José González. It was while SXSW 2006 was going full force and, as I was not actually in Austin, I was spending a great deal of time downloading and listening to the bands who were. There was a month in there [...]
