Oh god, Lambchop is back and preparing to release their eleventh album, Mr. M , (their last release was in 2008!) on February 21, 2012. I cannot contain myself!

Le Guess Who? machte Utrecht am vergangenen Wochenende zur Musikhauptstadt Hollands. Das exklusive Indoor-Festival überzeugte auf der ganzen Linie. "One of the better places for christmas shopping", urteilte Stephen Malkmus spasseshalber über Utrecht. Tatsächlich lässt sich im holländischen Städtchen, das nicht grösser ist als Zürich, gut einkaufen. Neben Second Hand-Shops, Grachten und Dom hat Utrecht seit vier Jahren eine Attraktion mehr: Le Guess Who? Von Festival-Stimmung war in der Stadt am vergangenen Wochenende wenig zu spüren. Das Leben in Utrecht nahm seinen gewohnten [...]

permanentsmile : Bill Callahan - Riding For The Feeling, Radio Paradiso Session, recorded November 9 2011
Bill Callahan @ MHOW in July ( more by Dana (distortion) Yavin ) Lincoln Center's acclaimed series American Songbook returns to the elegant Allen Room in January for its fourteenth season celebrating the diversity of American popular song. For 16 nights the series will explore the best of the golden age of musical standards through to today's most dynamic songwriting. The music of Broadway, Latin culture and hip-hop, bluegrass, rock, and pop will be presented, along with three evenings devoted to great American composers and lyricists. The 2012 season - January [...]
En af indieverdens fineste soloartister udgav album i foråret. Amerikanske Bill Callahan havde den tvivlsomme fornøjelse af at følge op på et næsten kanoniseret mesterværk, og trods det aktuelle albums varierende kvalitet, fører det ham og backingband forbi Lille Vega i København om præcis en måned, onsdag d. 16. november, og på Voxhall i Aarhus tirsdag d. 22. november. Apocalypse fra april er karrierens 3. album i eget navn, og det 15., hvis LP'erne udgivet under pseudonymet Smog medregnes (hvilket de bestemt bør, selvom Callahan under eget navn er langt [...]
I entered the studio at about 9:35pm, meeting up with Stuarto, who has the time slot before mine. A quick interview about 15 minutes before my show, another few songs, and I was up. It was requested that I attempt a transition, and as indie music is my theme, and world music is his, I figured I'd kick things off with an oldie, but goodie: "The Gulag Orkestar" by Beirut. The theme of the evening, loosely, centered around folk. Indie folk, folk pop, folk rock, orchestral folk, experimental folk... [...]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars Our knowledge of Eric Bachmann predominantly resides in his roll as the main man in Archers of Loaf , but as years have gone by, Eric's crafted some beautiful records. Some have been under his own name, but most have come via the Crooked Fingers moniker, and Breaks in the Armor might just be his best non-AoL record yet. Bachmann has this greatly affecting voice, and it's this voice that carries album opener, "Typhoon." [...]
We had some hot, muggy weeks here in New York. But finally, at long last, that magical chill of fall is in the air. Something about this particular change of season will forever remind me of the always-present anticipation of being a kid; the leaves change, the school year starts, and for whatever reason it feels like absolutely anything is possible. In my grown-up life, my feelings about fall are a little quieter. I relish in sweater-and-boots weather, love being able to pile on extra blankets, and nearly drown myself in hot cups of good tea. But it's [...]

Wer denkt, die Festival-Saison sei gelaufen, dem sei das Le Guess Who? in Utrecht ans Herz gelegt. Ende November wird da ein Line-Up aus dem Hut gezaubert, das dem Herbst ein goldenes Krönchen aufsetzt. " Ein kleines Land muss versuchen, in kleinen Dingen gross zu sein ", meinte einmal Königin Emma der Niederlande. Tatsächlich gelingt es ihren Nachfahren, im von aussen her betrachtet eher kleinlauten Utrecht mit einem hochkarätig besetzten Indoor-Festival von sich reden zu machen. Bereits zum fünften Mal findet vom 24. bis [...]
Wednesday, September 28, 2011 Time to get off your ass and give back to the community! Don’t worry, doing good was never so easy or so enjoyable. Tonight Bill Callahan and Mother Falcon perform a benefit concert at The Mohawk, and I can’t recommend this show enough. For a mere $12 you not only do you get to enjoy some brilliant music, but you’ll be helping the homeless while you do it. There’s even an impressive after show on the inside stage featuring Good Town and Kendall Clark. [...]
Bill Callahan - Drover (by NarcoAgent ) Live at De Duif, Amsterdam on 18 May 2011
Gypsyblood So many shows, so little time. This weekend is brimming with excitement thanks to the brand-new Brilliant Corners of Popular Amusements fest happening in Eckhart Park and featuring the likes of Shellac, CAVE, A Lull, Hollows – to name a few. We’re also talking about the Reggie’s Live stage at the Bash on Wabash featuring White Mystery and tons more shows. Clouds, Schmouds. Let’s rock. FRIDAY [...]
In the world of music where the more falsetto a guy's voice gets, the more popular his music is, Bill Callahan is a deep breath of fresh, manly air. Actually, I don't think manly air could ever also be fresh, but maybe a little musky-and that's fine, too. What instantly caught my attention with Bill Callahan is his very non-falsetto voice, sort of reminiscent of Johnny Cash and other equally manly men. Overuse of the word "manly" aside, Callahan's alt-country music and Western-inspired lyrics give a girl a hankerin' to be on a horse (or at least in a van) somewhere in [...]
Are you familiar with "vaudeville"? According to the wonderful (and always handy) Merriam-Webster , it's a noun that describes "a light often comic theatrical piece frequently combining pantomime, dialogue, dancing, and song" or "stage entertainment consisting of various acts (as performing animals, comedians, or singers)." Most of you are familiar with this sort of entertainment - especially if you live in a city - but if not, here's your chance to experience it. This weekend (that is, September 16-18), Chicago's Eckhart Park will play host to the inaugural Brilliant Corners of Popular Amusements (BCPA), becoming "a playground [...]
Apocalypse es el decimocuarto trabajo de Bill Callahan, y tercero firmado con su nombre y apellido. Contrario a lo que indica su título, más que firmar una sentencia de muerte, Callahan realiza un retrato de una Norteamérica que se mece entre sus culpas y virtudes: una psiquis esquizofrénica que avanza, a tropiezos, más por el peso de sus arraigadas convicciones (orgullo, patriotismo, religión), que por los valores democráticos de los que tanto presumen. “ Si hay alguna certeza acerca de este país salvaje, es que se necesita una mente dura; es que quiebra una mente [...]
Autumn nears and so do my qualms about winter. Needless to say, it always seems like the best music and film arrives during the last one-third of the year. Award considerations aside, one gets the hunch artists want to end the year on a positive note rather than one of nothingness. A looming uncertainty can [...]
Bill Callahan has a voice like no other man on earth; it’s haunting, intimate, spontaneous and passionate. The first thing heard on Apocalypse is Callahan singing a single line, unaccompanied: “The real people went away.” His beautiful voice lures the listener into the dark world of Apocalypse. [...]
Stephen Malkmus, live at Disjecta from Taryn Cowart on Vimeo . One icon covers another. Maybe Steve will play guitar on the next Callahan record and complete the circle. He and the Jicks play Amoeba tonight; his as-good-as-can-be-expected Beck-produced new album, Mirror Traffic drops today as well. [Via TwentyFourBit ]
Bill Callahan's latest LP, Apocalypse , is a difficult one to grasp. Such is the nature of Bill Callahan, whose music has always (even under Smog) been a bit on the fringe. Rarely do we pull from other reviews, but it must be noted that Pitchfork pointed out the contradictory nature of Callahan's music - and it's true. Apocalypse is delicate, but it's rough around the edges. It's sweet but brutal. A throwback to the old style of folk, almost Americana, but with a modern experimental folk twist. Introspective but sociological. [...]
