Azure Ray - If You Fall Indie, Electronic, Art, Music, Life, Philadelphia Living....Its all here in my blog.
These days are busy. YOU might be able to agree that we need some more time, some quiet time. This is the SLOW mix. I'm going to find a quiet place this weekend (hopefully) and just be silent and read my new Dwell, listen to this mix, meditate on important things in life, draw furniture that I want to make in my garage, and get some rest. If you can relate, then I'll see you at your local bookstore, coffee shop, park, roof top, etc. Let me know if it helped! 6Pence None the Richer - A Million Parachutes [...]
Azure Ray is the popular dream-pop project of singers Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink. The two songwriters blend twangy guitars and violins to create a slow and emotional folk sound. Both singers are also members of another Saddle-Creek band, Now Its Overhead . Add this Band on Myspace [...]
Bending the rules a little bit to have a timely song here. To be fair, they are on hiatus. I refer to Azure Ray , the excellent Saddle Creek duo consisting of Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor. I hate to say it, but I feel a little bit like both of their solo output proves that Azure Ray was more than the sum of its parts. Oh well. I saw Maria Taylor a couple years ago on the 11:11 tour where Denver Dalley was playing in her touring band; that was awesome. I wish her solo records sounded more [...]
We're not in Austin this weekend because we rarely like to leave this recording headquarters, unless the reason for doing so is quiche. The Late Greats speculates on those who are . We speculate on the Late Greats : solid fundamentals, length, left hand is a plus tool. You know the drill. We link to give back , but the check is in the mail. Oh, and fuck Duke. There's this new show on FX called The Riches that's of some interest. Crime has always fascinated me. This show is about [...]
Everybody loves a good nap, am I right? Especially on Sunday afternoons. Here's a little mix to keep you company as you doze off. It's not too long, though, coz I find that I usually fall asleep by around the third song and then I don't get to hear the rest anyway. If you don't operate like that, then perhaps you can consider it a start to your own good, long sleep-inducing mix, OK? Sleep tight. Azure Ray -- "Sleep" mp3 off [...]
Tomorrow I'm leaving to return to the college town full of memories to DJ the True/False Film Festival opening night party. I'm excited to see everyone again but also nervous. A lot of people have stayed that I've lost touch with, a lot more have left for good. I don't know who I'll see & who I won't. But it'll be good too. & I'm psyched to have been asked to DJ the big Friday night party! Here are some songs that are about [...]
Strangely enough, the members of Azure Ray might be louder on their respective solo albums than as a group. Maria Taylor's lovely 11:11 sports a fair amount of production, while Orenda Fink's Invisible Ones enlists a full-blown congregation. By contrast, this set is relatively minimal, mostly relying on the girls' voices and acoustic guitar. Despite the simplicity, it really gives me newfound appreciation for each of their voices. While the instrumentals don't elicit quite the same endearment, there's a nice balance between staying true to recorded material and adjusting to a [...]
The Appleseed Cast We've been busy busy busy with the new site lately, so I apologize for not posting yesterday. I've been sending out all these emails, asking local friends to help pitch in to make the site better. I'm really excited about it, peoples. The new site launches this coming Monday, so when that day comes, bring a glass of champagne, a piece of cake, or something. It'll be a day to celebrate. Okay, well I'm done. Here are some tunes: VietNam Priest, [...]

Hm, apparently I've still been listening to the old stuff a bunch (and Sally Shapiro ). While rediscovering how much you enjoy favorites is always a good time, it doesn't really make for a particularly fresh set of picks. So, in the interest of variety, let's dive deeper and look at some new artists, some of which are already dominating this week. Enjoy! The duo Azure Ray is signed to the prominent Saddle Creek Records . They've definitely [...]
Saddle Creek schmückt sich nicht nur mit dem Windbeutel Bright Eyes, sondern auch mit Maria Taylor , die ja mit Azure Ray schon am Erfolg riechen durfte. Frauen, die gute Geschichten erzählen können, genossen ja schon immer meine uneingeschränkte Loyalität. Wenn sie dann auch noch so mit Bonbonsüssen Melodien, zarten Harmonien und einer Stimme, die mich das Atmen vergessen lässt, kommen, dann kann ich nicht kühl bleiben. Am 6. März erscheint dann "Lynn Teeter Flower". mp3: Maria Taylor / Lost Time Technorati Tags: Maria Taylor , Azure Ray [...]
I am on a much-anticipated vacation this week, so I'm posting some pre-written pieces from the road. First up, a mix of New Year tunes, including a track from the brand new Roller EP by the French Kicks. After all, isn't celebrating the new year a little about death and a little about rebirth? That's why the Roman god Janus, for whom January is named, had two faces: one looking forward and one looking backward. Azure Ray: The New [...]
Since tomorrow I'll be dedicating most of my time to eating as much food as I can, I'm making a mix today that is so good it could last you even longer than all that leftover turkey and be just as satisfying. There's a caption that explains what each song has to do with Thanksgiving, if you're the curious type. Side note: my family decided that we're all going to see Stranger Than Fiction tomorrow. Any good? MP3 The Shins - Young Pilgrims Lest [...]

in case you haven't noticed, i haven't been posting lately. the last 7 days have been fairly nuts for me, and on top of it all, you may have noticed that all is not well in mp3blog-ville lately, what with ezarchive switching things over, and bloggers dropping like flies. i promised i would give this thing at least a year, and i am holding to that. but when the shit hits the fan, school and work win over ydb (unless there's a sugar daddy or momma out there who would like to support me so i don't have to worry [...]
