The series, which will begin with a 30 minute set by A Fine Frenzy on Friday, January 20, 2012 at 2:00 pm., will host performances daily at the Rich Haines Gallery on 751 Main Street until January 27 at 6:00 pm.

Two years ago Anna Wintour, in all her evil genius, hoisted upon the unsuspecting masses Fashions Night Out - A night where we normals get to pretend to be important by mingling at high fashion stores we would never otherwise walk into and get shitfaced so we can more easily spend our hard earned money on things that will make us feel pretty. Personally, I love it. If the pretty people, free booze and sales on jeans and shoes dont convince you to spend today wandering around the consumer hubs of our great city, maybe the list of [...]]]> text/html 2011-04-13T05:37:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3359729/a-fine-frenzy/
A Fine Frenzy (Allison Sudol) is a very talented artist and has me under her spell at the moment. I have been repeatedly listening to her album One Cell in the Sea. She writes such beautiful music its a crime for you all not to listen. I actually shed a couple tears when I listened to "Almost Lover." Sensitive much? No, I just had something in my eye..

Just got home after spending the day car hunting (I found one!) and took a little detour through town to check out all the Christmas lights. I don't feel like it's really Christmas until I've ticked that off my list. I wasn't listening to these songs at the time but I'm passing them on to you so you can use them for your own Christmas light tours. Enjoy!

Jarenlang voelde het alsof we lief en leed deelden. We werden verliefd en vervolgens gedumpt. We werden bedrogen en voorgelogen. We vielen hard en krabbelden weer op. En dat alles deden we in stijl. En nu is het tijd onze eigen weg te gaan. Tijd voor jullie om uit de schijn(werpers) te stappen en uit te vinden wat het leven nog meer te bieden heeft. In ieder geval, voor sommige van jullie. Zes jaar geleden maakten we kennis. En hoewel een oceaan ons scheidde voelde ik me toch met jullie verwant.

The latest video concoction from OK Go is a change-of-pace from their live-action clips, but then again so is the song, the acoustic "Last Leaf." Directed by the band Serious Business Design founders Nadeem Mazen and Ali Mohammad, the video was shot with a Samsung NX100 camera (the behind-the-scenes is pretty cool) and animated by Bay Area artist Geoff Mcfetridge. Best statistic: 215 loaves of bread were used all, the band points out, past its sell-by date. ||| Live: OK Go plays Club Nokia on Saturday with A Fine Frenzy [...]]]> text/html 2010-10-25T20:45:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2920001/cos-giveaway-the-vampire-diaries-ost-jansport-backpack/
In the fashionable spirit of Halloween and Twilight teens everywhere, we bring an offer you cannot possibly refuse, unless you're into zombies or something. Plus, it's great in all the ways shiny abstinence allegories are not. Do you know anyone who digs The Vampire Diaries series and its fine soundtrack sampling of dark pop and alternative music?

This week we overloaded on sweetness by posting videos of the meet-up we arranged between David Archuleta, whose new album The Other Side Of Down is finally out next week, and one of his musical inspirations, Alison Sudol (aka A Fine Frenzy). We had no idea how the pairing would turn out, but needless to say we were pleasantly surprisednot only with how cute these two were together, but with the responses we received from fans of each artist. Check some of them out below! [...]]]> text/html 2010-09-30T17:59:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2859393/david-archuleta-and-a-fine-frenzy-the-idolator-meet-up/
Pop singers tend to be busy people. But that's no reason for them to lose out on the chance to meet new friends who share common interests even if those friends are also busy pop singers. Which is why we recently took it upon ourselves to introduce two amazing artists who didn't know each other, but should. We arranged a visit between the velvety smooth singer David Archuleta and the sprightly songbird Alison Sudol, who performs as A Fine Frenzy. (We genuinely had no idea at the time, but she inspired the title track on his new [...]]]> text/html 2010-09-27T17:33:18+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2850842/tonight-in-la-abe-vigoda-lucy-schwartz-vanaprasta-eastern-conference/

One thing I have noticed in the past couple years is the lack of duets between male and female songwriters. I can count on my hands how many memorable ones I've heard - there is the sickeningly cute and horribly overplayed ' Lucky ' by Colbie Caillat & Jason Mraz, the aptly name ' Duet ' featuring Rachael Yamagata and Ray LaMontagne (I still want to review his new album...), the perfectly harmonized ' Paperweight ' by Schuyler Fisk & Joshua Radin, the catchy but anti-romantic ' You Don't Know me ' by Regina Spektor and Ben Folds, the heartfelt [...]]]> text/html 2010-08-02T14:26:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2725310/amazons-5-mp3-albums-for-august-lcd-soundsystem-mumford/
For August, Amazon is doing a full 1,000 plus albums for their $5 MP3 album deal, but once again they are bringing some big releases from this year into the list including two of my favorites so far this year, LCD Soundsystem's This Is Happening and Mumford & Sons' Sigh No More .

With multiple cancellations, artists dropping out, and minimal marketing, Lilith Fair has seen it's fair share of heat from the media. Besides, lets be real, most people think it's a 1-day music festival for lesbians. More like it: Magic Bullets shoot to the heart Live 1052s BFD 2010!

Matt Hales, aka Aqualung , speaks of his songs off his long-awaited new album Magnetic North (April 20, Verve) In relationship to the backing vocals he enlisted in this new album, he adds some interesting vocal backing from the singer/songwriter Sara Bareilles and in others, A Fine Frenzy's Alison Sudol, and newcomer Kelly Sweet supports him on the bright and charming lead single "Fingertip". "The thing that I noticed is that in so many of these songs, there are really two protagonists and its a couple," says Hales.

One-woman band A Fine Frenzy (aka the vivacious redheaded songstress Ali Sudol) has racked up more than a million Twitter followers, is set to rock Lilith Fair, signed on to open for other one-person band Owl City on his European tour, and even Miley Cyrus as one of her fansso it's about time you gave the woman some serious attention.
