Everyday is always a good day to listen to Ben’s classic album ‘Sha Sha’ ( listen on Spotify ). Which is exactly what I am doing right now. There are so many great songs on it, that it is a bit disheartening to know that he was only 22 when it was released. Although every track is an outright gem, ‘Lizzy’ has always been (and still is) my favourite track. It’s just a lovely little ditty. And if you are one of those folks that dabble on the guitar, it makes for a great song and to learn [...]

![Wild Child // Pillow Talk [Single]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4788599_lg.jpg)
I'm getting excited for Wild Child's new record that is being produced by Ben Kweller. The Runaround doesn't have a set release date yet or anything, but the word is that there should be a single out in time for SXSW festivities. I promise we'll be on top of it and underneath it when that comes around. Until then, an old standby, "Pillow Talk" from the likewise named album. Wild Child: Site // Album

The following appear in no specific order. Todd Snider - Agnostic Hymns & Stoner Fables S ometimes I wonder how many songs exist that I'd love if I ever just got the chance to hear. This is certainly what drives people to blog about music. "People need to hear Todd Snider." But when I say "people," I don't mean blog readers. I mean that Agnostic Hymns & Stoner Fables should be played over loudspeakers at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial because this is what recession music sounds like. (Instead, [...]
Every year I wonder how I'm going to manage doing a) a post every day b) find enough holiday music that I actually want to tell you guys about. And now with the third year of Musical Advent drawing close to a finish I have to say that I'm almost sad that we're getting close [...]

Click here for Numbers 20-11 10. FUN. - SOME NIGHTS This was a group no one could get away from. I wasn’t a fan of all the synth and autotune at first, but eventually it grew on me. I discovered The Format a long time ago and fell in love with that group. And while I wish The Format was still around, fun. is doing a pretty good job at keeping the music going. fun. - Some Nights [...]

Por Judith Gómez Machado En la entrada de Boris Club , un sonriente Ben Kweller recibe a sus invitados: charla, ríe, se saca fotos y muestra las remeras, discos y vinilos que trajo él mismo desde Austin. Aunque en menos de dos días haya volado desde Texas hasta São Paulo y luego a Buenos Aires, no hay rastros de cansancio. En el interior, los locales El Violinista Del Amor & los pibes que miraban y luego Valle de Muñecas calientan el escenario para el texano. El [...]

from Winterlights: A Season in Poems and Quilts by Anna Grossnickle Hines It's the first day of Hanukkah, aka Chanukah, and though the candles have long since burned down, as in past years, my holiday playlist didn't even last as long as the light it was designed to accompany. Thanks to a small selection of new covers, however, this year was closer than ever, giving me hope that one day soon we'll have more than a single set to offer over these eight nights. [...]

Por Judith Gómez Machado Sentado en el piso, descalzo, el texano Ben Kweller organiza su escritorio. Saca papeles y discos de los cajones.

O du wunderschöner Herbst, Wie du die Blätter golden färbst, Deiner reinen Luft so klar und still, Noch einmal ich mich freuen will. So idyllisch uns Theodor Fontane den Herbst einst beschrieb, so farbenfroh wird er auch im November sein. Wir freuen uns sehr auf diesen Monat der grenzenlosen Freude. Und obwohl die Temperaturen niedriger, die Regentropfen häufiger und die Schnupfnase voller sein wird, haben wir die passenden Rezepte für einen Monat des inneren Frühlings. Diesen November präsentieren wir euch jeden Tag eine kleine Portion Lektüre zum hören und gewinnen. [...]
