Tonight the British music industry packaged their self-image for all to YouTube. The nominations were very Duffy with a side of Coldplay , and Duffy wound up being the main dish, but poor Chris Martin & Band couldn't follow their three-statue Grammy night with even a single award from their four nominations. Instead it's [SPOILER] Kings Of Leon that's the rock band the BRITs love. Biggest props went to Duffy, KoL, Pet Shop Boys, and Not Katy Perry Hello Kitty dress (although she has a cat named Kitty Purry and that's funny). David Hasselhoff was there, Brandon Flowers came [...]
Dave Heumann and the rest of Arbouretum delivered a thunderous and powerful set; one of the best I've seen them mete out. Their sound filled the Club room, its weight perfectly matched to the room's size.

Wye Oak is already posted, and over the next 11 days we'll be posting the rest of the live audio and tons more coverage from our first annual Aural States Fest! Thanks for coming out! All photos: Shantel Mitchell OK, I am sure I am not alone in thinking that this was one of the best shows that I've been to in awhile. Not only did this show [...]
Add your own adjective to finish off the title (plus it ties in nicely with a little gem later). Snow, ice, rain and damn cold weather can't keep this fine weekend of music away. Lots of talent from the region and elsewhere are out and about. Here is what's happening. Friday Photo Credit: Band's Facebook The XPN Free at Noon session does it again and brings Annuals to the World Cafe [...]

feine nachrichten aus dem stall arbouretum. die garantiert vorwärts orientiert aufspielenden und blues- oder auch stonerrocker genannten baltimorians haben ihr drittes album im kasten. "song of the pearl" soll laut thrill jockey anfang märz erscheinen und wurde in knapp zwei monaten im herbst 2008 eingespielt. erstmals hat man es außerdem zustande gebracht, ein komplettes album mit derselben crew zu erarbeiten. zu der gehören aktuell: dave heumann (guitar, vocals), corey allender (bass), daniel franz (drums) und steve strohmeier (guitar). nun kann ich leider noch nicht viel über das kommende werk aussagen, aber allein dieser auszug aus der labelinfo inspiriert zu einem [...]
Welcome to the third and final installment of this series All Things Reconsidered , or as it is known around the MOKB watercooler, A Bunch of Albums You Should Check Out Before Chinese Democracy Ruins Your Life. Let's get right to it, because Sunday is approaching quickly. By the way, anyone amused by the fact Chinese Democracy is being released on a Sunday? You think maybe Axl is trying to make some sort of none-too-subtle statement? Based on popular mythology, The Naz arose on a Sunday morning after being entombed for three [...]
Yesterday via the Arbouretum blog Dave Heumann announced that the next Arbouretum album to be titled Song of the Pearl is recorded and will be released "in early March '09." Although it doesn't say, it will likely be released on Thrill Jockey as 2007's brilliant Rites of Uncovering and the 2008 split LP with labelmates Pontiak Kale was. In a recent e-mail with Dave, he said that he'd be touring through the Midwest in Spring '09, so I'm hoping he ends up [...]

Burlington music promotion heroes Tick Tick are starting this new school year white hot. On Wed., Sept. 10th they are bringing a combo of heavy stoner riffs and acoustic ballads with Thrill Jockey label mates Pontiak and Arbouretum . Pontiak + Arbouretum | Sept 10 | Red Square or The Bakery (check Tick Tick for location as it seems to be in flux) Pontiak is a [...]
Arbouretum & Pontiak play the Talking Head this Friday, Sept 5 with Psychic Paramount and Sri Aroubindo. Not to be missed. MP3: Arbouretum - Buffalo Ballet John Cale is the highly prolific co-founder of a little band called the Velvet Underground. There is no shortage of love for his work, but this masterful EP collaboration of Arbouretum and Pontiak may be the best expression of it. Arbouretum and Pontiak are both highly respected and talented groups of [...]
Sean Turley is a dear friend of ours, one that provides hours of passionate argumentation, an endless flow of East Coast madness, and our favorite book of rainy day Polaroids. He's our personal gatekeeper to America's great end of the line, and has provided us with a place to sleep every time we feel the need to look out onto a lobster bay and drive on the Atlantic's edge while listening to the past's Next Big Thing. He's a teacher, an eater, an asshole, a man with one of this land's great Old Ladies, and his pictures make us [...]
My last business trip to Boston was happily full of music between seeing Sheryl Crow and getting to run to Newbury Comics before dinner the next night. Thankfully, the restaurant we were going to was just down the street from Newbury Comics. I had hit their website before we went out and they had listed in their Top 100 Vinyl Records sale that Beck's new album Modern Guilt was on sale as was Endtroducing by DJ Shadow. I was disappointed to find out that these were apparently on-line only, and not in-store. I still picked up [...]
Whartscape 2008's Friday show was at the 2640 Space, a church undergoing renovation assisted by the Red Emma's collective. In exchange for their services, they get to hold events provided there is no alcohol sold/drunken on the premises...house of God and all. This year's line-up has more variety with a less shotgun-based approach of toss whoever, together whenever (as intimated by Adam in our interview). And what more perfect theme for the 2640 Space than a night focusing on folk and generally softer music. The hallowed and empty space, presided over by stained glass [...]
So when Girl Talk fans who downloaded Feed the Animals for free make unauthorized mashup videos of Girl Talk mashups, what happens? Is that like when Diet Sundrop tried to sue Sundrop for taste infringement? Girl Talk - Don't Stop (Mashing) Is Trey Told 'Em team playing on Sunday supposed to be a hip hop version of Garfield minus Garfield , where Girl Talk = Garfield? Because that just sounds like a ripoff [...]
Continuing in our series of Whartscape mini-terviews, next up is Arbouretum. We snuck in our set of Whartscape questions when we met Arbouretum's somewhat reclusive front-man Dave Heumann at, get this, Cylburn Arbouretum . Get it? Full interview from that meeting, consisting of things not related to Wham and Whart, coming in the next few days. Keep an eye out for their limited edition split LP Kale with friends Pontiak, featuring some John Cale covers, a couple Arbouretum originals and Pontiak's entire album Sun on Sun [...]
So I took the kids, the Mrs., my brother and his lady to the roller derby Saturday night at Du Burns Arena in the scenic and lovely Canton neighborhood in Baltimore. It did not disappoint. The Mobdown Mods squared off again the Night Terrors and Speed Regime did battle with the Junkyard Dolls. From top to bottom the packed house was treated to high quality entertainment - Pabst Blue Ribbon was the only beer available and the head referee's name was Justice Feelgood Marshall - how's that treating you. So [...]

Arbouretum's Long Live the Well-Doer starts off with some stereotypically new-age string plucking accented by wind chimes. I immediately came up with an image of some hemp-pushing, mandala-worshipping yoga lover and almost chucked the disc in the trash. But thankfully, I gave it a spin. And I never looked back. Filled with wanderlust, Arbouretum's brand of folk is among the best kind. Seemingly free-associative, but all the while guiding you on a lush journey through vast soundscapes that evolve from protoplasmic pieces to a brilliantly-shining, complex whole before your [...]
