There seems to be an infinite amount of talent in the world at any given moment. I listen to a lot of music, but I could always listen to more.

After missing Ben Howard at Splendour in the Grass 2012, due to an unfortunate clash with Youth Lagoon, I was going to make sure that I didn’t miss the Devon-based acoustic maestro again. We unfortunately arrived a little too late for opening act Willy Mason, but heard he was a real treat. When Ben Howard finally came on, he had the luxury of playing to one of the most devoted and packed crowds I’ve ever seen at a Brisbane gig. The audience knew every single lyric to his tunes (excluding the new ones, bar a few devoted/stalkerish fans), [...]

Who: Ben Howard at the Outdoor Theatre In 3 or Fewer Words: Howard's slow-burning heat. Memorable Because: Even with sun still beating down harshly on our skin during his set in the 4 o'clock hour, London's Ben Howard managed to attract a faithful crowd and cool everyone down with his lush folk orchestrations off of his latest album "Every Kingdom." Howard and his band were kind and humble as they figured out a few sound issues. "It's hot!" Howard said in an almost hushed tone. "Thanks for being patient." Similarly, Howard's repertoire flowed with [...]

(photo by Andrew Collins) This week's episode of Bestest Songs is dedicated to one of my literary heroines, Wendy Roby, who wrote her last singles column this past Monday after four years of highlighting.

While my fellow bloggers and all-around music loving nerds are spending spring break in good 'ol Austin, Texas for South By Southwest this week, some of us left behind in the cold, slushy weather are likely seething with jealousy. To warm us over and giving us something to look forward to, the good people at Osheaga released (after a [...]

Ben Howard's album sales on Amazon have gone up 4,600 per cent following his two awards at The Brits the other night...

"Since 2011 however, I’ve become quite excited about The Brits. It had its rather glamorous makeover; the awards themselves were redesigned to make them more ‘sought after’; out went the silliness and in came the seriousness. That year, Arcade Fire took home two awards..." “I reckon I’ve got as much chance of winning as I have of seeing the Queen’s tits,” said Richard Hawley, nominated for Best British Male. Sadly for Hawley fans, and the perverts keen to see a Lizzie nipslip, he didn’t; but we got a taste of how things are changing in the British music [...]
