Last night our Jen rang in the new year with Josh Ritter and the Royal City Band in Northampton, MA. And this happened. Thank you to @goodinthestacks for capturing this moment. Happy new year!
It's hard for friends to understand when I try explaining to them this absolute nausea I feel about New Year's Eve. I go out, I appreciate being around the friends... I'm happy enjoying the moment with them, yet in the back of my mind is a swelling sadness, a wave so huge that by the [...]
Rien de mieux pour terminer l'année en beauté que de poster ici ce qui apparait comme le parfait mélange entre l'esprit du nouvel an et l'amour pour la musique d'outre manche, le tout produit par notre dj préféré! Comme chaque année, Oneman dégaine son dorénavant fameux " Auld Lang Syne 2step edit "! Avec ce track en poche vous serez le roi des platines ce soir! Club Bass & Wine wish you a Happy New Year! See you next year! Download: [...]
You're probably going to go to a New Year's Eve party tonight and as soon as the clock strikes 12, somebody will inevitably start slurring the tune " Auld Lang Syne " because they heard it in a movie. But people very rarely nail down the correct melody, nor do they know all of the words. And what does "Auld Lang Syne" even mean? It began as a poem written by Scotland's Robert Burns in 1788 (with a few of the lyrics cribbed from a James Watson ballad from 1711 called "Old Long Syne"). [...]
Il Natale è passato e mancano pochi giorni alla festività successiva: Capodanno. C'è chi lo attende freneticamente (forse anche per scacciare un anno non particolarmente positivo), chi lo ignora, e chi invece lo passerà tra amici o a ballare. E' un'atmosfera diversa da quella natalizia (meno intima e raccolta) ma per qualcuno altrettanto affascinante. Oggi vi facciamo sentire un brano che quasi sicuramente conoscerete se avete visto il primo capitolo di Sex and The City. Si intitola "Auld Lang Syne" Il video di oggi, che vedete in apertura post, è tratto dal film "Sex [...]
It's not a new year's song, per se, though traditionally sung at midnight here and abroad. Rather, its message of friendship everlasting after a life well- and long-lived finds voice in, and brings hope and closure to, a multitude of celebrations throughout the English-speaking world, predominantly funerals and other ceremonies of remembrance. I posted a set of covers of Auld Lang Syne back in the waning days of 2009, too. But the Robert Burns poem and its various melodies seem particularly apt this year. For we heard its [...]
After releasing their stellar debut – Midnight Folly – in 2009, and subsequently touring with The Avett Brothers, Auld Lang Syne has been relatively quiet. Sure, they play (stellar) shows every so often around Rochester, and they head outside of the city to tour a bit when they can, but their easy brand of timeless...

Lord Huron - Auld Lang Syne Happy New Year.
Ever wondered what that song was that peeps played when the New Year rang in? It's called "Auld Lang Syne" and translated from Scottish, it means "old long since" if very literally. Basically, it means "days long past". A way of remembering the year that we just finished. Well, house music producer Slow Hands has made a really cool jam that can bring the new year in in such fitting fashion. It's a remix of the traditional track you hear that was recorded in this instance by Guy Lombardo. Anyhow, do [...]
This will be it for me for a few days... so what better way to wish you all a Merry Festiakuh than with a band with a name that channels New Year tidings. Rochester's (although, they are 1/5th Canadian) Auld Lang Syne offers up a heartfelt Christmas performance (and a well shot video courtesy of the good people @ Kitchen Sessions) that finds the band expanding on their country roots and drifting more into a surprisingly well done, Rufus Wainwright inspired piano performance that grows with strings, accordion and a community of horns. [...]
Because sometimes we're just too busy to write about everything we have seen and heard in one week. This week we have mainly been into town shopping for Christmas presents and coming back with clothes for ourselves instead, slipping over in the snow, and getting horrifically drunk at parties. IT'S NEARLY CHRISTMAS! Mariah Carey did the worst thing the world HAS EVER SEEN We don't know what we're doing for New Year yet, but we know that if it involves this we will head for the nearest roof and then jump off [...]
Rochester roots rock band Auld Lang Syne has released a Christmas song for the holiday season. The 10 minute epic isn't your average jolly, festive Christmas song, which is exactly why I love it - a slow dirge complimented by piano, sleighbells and Timothy Dick's deep baritone. Those familiar with the band's music (and if you aren't, you should be) will find the sound reminicent of some of the tracks from 2009's excellent Midnight Folly . Sit around the fireplace with your hot, spiked drink of choice and take it all in. Watch the video [...]
Pour calmer les émotions du jour... sandro perri -family tree- auld lang syne -where my fortune lies- lost in trees -all alone in an empty house-
My girlfriend and I were talking the other day, listening to music (like I'm prone to do) when she said that she regretted not seeing Ryan Adams when he was still playing. I said I thought that he would eventually play again, and that she'd get her chance. We'll see if I'm right about that. This [...]
1. Un hommage à E.C. Ball incite à en savoir plus sur ce pionnier du country-folk traditionnel. Enregistrés pour la première fois en 1937 par John Lomax, Estil Cortez Ball et son épouse Orna dédiaient leur talent au gospel mais leur répertoire (dont une bonne partie est écrit de leur plume) allait bien au-delà. Parmi les artistes réunis sur Face A Frowning World: An E.C. Ball Memorial Album (

So here we are, my favourite songs of the year. What be they? How sound them? All is revealed. I think what strikes me about the music of the last twelve months is the blizzard of originality. An awful lot of new sounds were made. It's a little like the melting-pot at the centre of western music worked very well this year, because a lot of these songs have influences that are wide and disparate. Is this list, taken as a whole, better than that of 2008? I think it just might be. But only just. The artwork is what [...]
Like anybody else, weather affects my listening habits. Cold snowy weather causes me want to listen to " sad bastard music ". So I decided to make a podcast that's very fitting for some of you.

Get it - Festive Fiddy! Oh I do crack myself up sometimes, I really do. So here endeth the Festive Fifty for this year. As anyone who has compiled this kind of list will know, the whole process is more than a little arbitrary, and were I to start from scratch tomorrow I would probably end up somewhere notably different. The interesting thing for me personally is to note how strongly the advantages and disadvantages of nepotism have made themselves known. The advantages are obvious - would there be so much Withered [...]
