5 Songs is a weekly series where we point out the strange, the grand, and the unique connections between our favorite songs. Let's get weird. Words by Chris I used to be scared of fireworks when I was seven. I have no idea what the problem was, other than they were extremely loud and incredibly… uh, bright. Maybe it's a wonder that's underrated, because 9 times out of 10 if I hear an explosive sound [...]

A proposta da revista Mojo de lançar, com cada exemplar, um novo álbum, é o seu principal diferencial. Depois do lançamento recente de coletâneas de covers homenageando New Order e U2 , a publicação convidou um grupo, repleto de promessas musicais de 2012, para revisitar o trabalho do lendário Leonard Cohen , que recentemente voltou aos holofotes com um novo álbum, Old Ideas ( já leu a resenha do álbum? ). O álbum tributo The Songs of Leonard Cohen Covered reuniu artistas como The Low Anthem , Cass [...]

Neal Morgan , who has drummed for both Joanna Newsom and Bill Callahan , released his second album recently. The record, In the Yard , consists of no instruments except drums, some percussion, a reedy spoken-word voice and an array of intricate backing vocals. The limitations posed by this formula might seem rigid, but the record is a respectable accomplishment - especially considering tracks like Father's Day and Thinking Big . But you don't have to take our word for it. You can listen to a full stream [...]

«Ακόμα με τις λίστες ασχολείστε; Φεβρουάριος έφτασε!» Αφού τα είπαμε, στο some beans το αγαπημένο μας σύνθημα είναι το «φέεεετααα»! Έτσι και αλλιώς τελείωσε ένας Ιανουάριος με λίγες ειδήσεις και ακόμα λιγότερες σημαντικές κυκλοφορίες οπότε δεν χάσατε πάρα πολλά. Και γιατί να βιαστούμε άλλωστε; Ας αφήσουμε στην άκρη τα αυτιστικά μας που μας επιβάλλουν να είμαστε πάντα στην ώρα μας (αλήθεια από πότε καθιερώθηκε αυτή η ώρα;) και επίκαιροι και ας απολαύσουμε 40 από εμένα και 40 από την uptight (σύντομα κοντά σας) επιλογές από υπέροχους δίσκους. Η καλή μουσική άλλωστε είναι πάντα επίκαιρη. [...]

Sophia Knapp makes pop music that starts off in the cloud of a dream; an imaginary snapshot of a time in space between Tokyo in the 1970s and New York City in the late 80s. On an album with contributions from QM favorite Bill Callahan, "Close To Me" is intimate and intentionally lonely, like finding yourself in someone's poorly-lit living room in the middle of the night. It floats around in a bubble of magic, and vocals tend to sharp edges that catch you by surprise, over a lazy-chic beat that can't help but call to mind Bill Murray [...]
Im Frühling wird es laut Informationen von pitchfork.com eine Dokumentation zur letzten Bill Callahan Tour geben. Diese wird wohl auch auf DVD erscheinen und ich bin voller Vorfreude. Ich muss ehrlich gestehen, dass Bill Callahan lange an mir vorbei gegangen ist und erst sein Apocalypse Album hat es mir angetan und nun habe ich mir [...]
