Angel Olsen 's Half Way Home is being released on CD, which is just as well as it deserves to be out there and as accessible as possible. Astonishing critics upon its release last year, her second release on Bathetic Records was a bolt from the blue. From the album's opening track, "Acrobat," Olsen simultaneously announces and differentiates herself in an industry where heads all around were scratched as people sought to place her. New Kate Bush ? No, not nearly as whimsical. [...]
Over the last couple of years when we've written about The Polyphonic Spree it mostly focused around their enthusiasm for holiday music. On August 6, the choral-rock ensemble will release their properly punctuated album - Yes, It's True. - their first set of new material since 20072s The Fragile Army . The Tim DeLaughter fronted act, who harnessed the power of crowd-sourcing to help fund their new record in raising $100,000, will head out for a 12-date summer tour, which includes a high profile appearance at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, as well [...]

Yeah, Jewel has managed to go from one of our favorite acts of all time to someone we would like to avoid. This track wouldn't even have made it as a b-side on one of her lesser singles back in the day. This is too MOR it's not even there. So sad to see this steep deterioration.

Reblogged from THE GENERALIST: No human being willingly or intentionally likes to kill, steal and hurt another human being unless she/he is a psychopath or mentally ill. Think about it for a minute before you disagree with me. Humans have evolved to be social and to work together to get more protection, food and back up from other fellow humans. If you kill someone, you know immediately that you will be punished by your family, society and your country. Read more... 144 more [...]

This is almost as surprising as when Ani DiFranco collaborated with Jackie Chan. Or something like that. Our favorite dance diva has collaborated with one of our fave Icelandic bands. Yes, who knew it would ever but the power of the soundtrack has brought them together. Kylie Minogue and Mum collaborated and this is the result! Now, all we need is a collaboration between Beyonce and Lianne La Havas and we will be momentarily happy. Related articles Kylie Minogue releases new song 'Whistle' - listen (digitalspy.co.uk) [...]

Egyptian demonstrators sing protest songs in Cairo's Tahrir Square in February 2011 History knows: the performance of political song is a shockingly potent vehicle for change. Lyrics which call out the flawed policies and actions of the powerful raise consciousness even as their catchy choruses help them stick in the mind, the better to turn communities towards mindful action and peaceful protest. The act of singing together creates solidarity and strength, nurturing deep feelings of belonging among the converted and bringing new voices to the fold. Combine [...]

The VPME They say everybody has a story to tell, however that doesn’t necessarily mean they'll all be interesting stories. New York's Ed Hamell on the other hand has been on quite a journey since he picked up a guitar aged seven and began writing songs not long afterwards! He's played in bands, had a major record deal, released critically acclaimed solo albums and battled back from head and spinal injuries following a car crash. Amongst his fans and friends are Ani Di Franco, Tom Robinson, The Wonderstuff's Miles Hunt and Kimya Dawson from Moldy Peaches [...]

10. GROSS RELATIONS Gross Relations [autoprodotto] Brillante esempio di garage pop made in Brooklyn. Dopo essere ricorsi all’aiuto dei blogger di Raven Sings The Blues per pubblicare l’ep “Come Clean”, i Gross Relations hanno deciso di far da soli e l’esordio sulla lunga distanza l’hanno messo su Bandcamp (scaricabile gratis). Un bel regalo a base di hooks killer, ritmi scanzonati e divertenti tracciati da tastiere e chitarre molto anni ottanta. Dieci canzoni che sembrano disegnate apposta per far da sottofondo a qualche spot o serie tv. Bassa fedeltà ma altissimo rischio [...]

Just over a year ago, Jen and I went into Manhattan on a bright October morning, heading to the Bowery Electric. It was the last day of the CMJ Festival and we were there to see Pearl and the Beard play a short set at noon. We were going to see them a few weeks later as the opener for the David Wax Museum and decided to go see them that day without having listened to any of their songs before. Not knowing what to expect, we went from the warm, bright sunshine to the cool, [...]
You know were not much of gossip blog, but when it comes to our favorites we like to report everything and besides it touches on the music. At any rate, turns out that there is a little gap in Ani DiFranco's heavy touring schedule. However, it is not because she needs a break but because she is pregnant and about to deliver her second child with her partner. Yes, there will be more of Ani's precious kin out there. We wish her all the best! Related articles Ani [...]
As Ani DiFranco gracefully steps onto the stage to a sold-out crowd at 9:30 Club , she is smiling from ear to ear. The anxious crowd gives her the warmest welcome one could imagine. She pauses for a brief second to take it all in, then quickly she nods to the drummer to kick off "Which Side Are You On." Seeing a legend like DiFranco perform is amazing, and it is obvious that she is having a great time playing for her fans. Her smile is constant, and she just radiates positively. She [...]
