You could learn to play the piano, we could learn to play the piano, we could all be pianists if we really, really wanted to. If any of us spent a few months or years having drumming lessons then we may end up happy to take to the sticks in a band. However, not everyone can sing. Sure, you can have lessons, we can have lessons, but without any actual original talent to start with it's pretty hard to get anywhere, especially professionally. You either have it or you don't. Well, here's a new artist that's stepping out from the [...]
Siri has been criticized for many things, including taking a stand against abortion , not being understood in Scotland , and even landing on a Flaming Lips track . Heck, with the iPhone 4s being the hottest item on the market and talks about Siri coming on board the highly anticipated iPad 3, Siri remains an important feature of the iPhone, particularly while multitasking. It's quite understandable that Siri befuddles herself on occation, afterall, our leading artificial intelligence is not prone to being mistake free. We've got a long way to go, and I'm sure [...]

Although most New Yorkers are probably still on a high from last night's Giants Superbowl win (or nursing a hangover), I'm looking ahead to a week of NYC-area shows. Plenty of good options on the table this week, including Jay-z, Bjork, tUnE-YaRds, KDTU covering the Stones, and two nights each of Primus and Tea Leaf Green. Read on for all the highlights as I'm seeing 'em...
Taking what most people consider to be their favorite Bjork song of all-time, Great Skies has eloquently constructed a remix that compliments the Icelandic songstress' 902s classic "Hyberballad." Not trying to go against the sound of the original, Great Skies decides to only make subtle alterations to the track by adding in his signature dub sound to the bassline and beefing up the percussion with a few kick drums and hi-hats. Slightly shorter than Bjork's version, Great Skies seemed intent on delivering a remix that was short, sweet, and more importantly, captivating. And after listening to his remix, all I can [...]

Veronica Falls is a young band. There is the group taking pictures of itself! Oh you do not want to miss those first steps. All those loose meandering's on a guitar, bright harmony's recorded! The world could take notice one day,these paintings will be priceless! These infant moments of fledgling bands feel incredible to all the members involved. Pity that I am not the bass player! If I was a contributor, maybe I could share in the hidden magic! I have no such luck, it seems neither do you. Harsh words I know. I do have some very [...]
The time has come upon us New York City, ten glorious days of Björk 's Biophilia live show. The sold out New York Hall of Science residency kicks off tonight for six nights before moving to Roseland Ballroom for four nights. I will be attending Monday night and look forward to sharing my experience. Until then, check out Björk's hilarious interview with The Colbert Report from earlier this week along with a performance of Cosmogony . Have a great weekend!
What joy we festival lovers received today! Aye, the line-ups for two of the best festivals of the summer, Sasquatch and Primavera Sound, were released, and are they ever a gift from the festival deities on high. Both are absolutely stuffed with bands that we love and have been geeking out over for months if not years. Sasquatch, one of our favorite line-ups from last year as well, boasts artists that will sound breathtaking in the Gorge. The dreams you have about seeing Bon Iver under the stars and surrounded by landscapes as picturesque [...]
![[Listen/Download] – Trippple Nippples – "LSD"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4032101_lg.jpg)
Tweet Listen to Trippple Nippples ' song "LSD" below. Mindfuckingly great brain-damaging pop. Look, Björk is insanely great in every aspect of her acts. But this group? They took the insanity to the next level, in the best way possible. The song itself is superficially catchy, I can picture myself tribal dancing like crazy without the need of alcohol. It's physically impossible to hear this group [...]

Father John Misty is Tillman's new moniker. Feel free to participate in a legal music download below. Ah yes, another awesome new tune from Grizzly Bear's Daniel Rossen . This one is called Silent Song - you'll find it on Rossen's new EP, Silent Hour/Golden [...]
Björk está a punto de comenzar su maratón de conciertos en Nueva York. A partir del 3 de febrero la artista islandesa estará tocando durante diez noches seguidas -pero no consecutivas- en la Gran Manzana. Aprovechando su estancia temporal en la ciudad, la cantante se pasó por el programa de televisión The Colbert Report para someterse a las preguntas del ácido Stephen Colbert. Lógicamente, aparte de cuestiones fuera de lo común (¿por qué los islandeses estáis tan fascinados con los elfos?, pregunto Colbert) también hubo espacio promocional para Biophilia, el último disco de estudio de [...]
</embed> Bjork is the Queen and Prime Minister of Ice Land. She is also the Michael Jackson of Iceland. She is also the Amelia Earhart of Iceland because she is the first person in Icelandic history to fly away in a 'metal sky bird', which is what they call airplanes there. For some reason, Stephen Colbert 'booked her' on his show, probably to produce an internet meme of a crazy old lady with a red nest on her head. Nothing funnie or insightful is shared in their convo, but I guess listening to [...]
La estrella islandesa estuvo anoche en el programa de TV norteamericano que se emite por Comedy Central , donde fue entrevistada por su conductor Stephen Colbert . Además, Björk llevó al escenario su canción Cosmogony , parte de su más reciente disco (y proyecto multifacético) Biophilia . La entrevista resultó una descontracturada conversación, con muchas risas y sonrisas de ambas partes, a pesar de las curiosas preguntas del humorista Colbert sobre la creencia de [...]

![[Introducing] – The Sayitaints](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4029861_lg.jpg)
Tweet I can tell you virtually nothing about The Sayitaints . There are two of them: John Gudenzi and Marc Nieto. They have one track out: "Flutter" . They're from Baltimore? They like to pump 808s. From here on out, it's just my opinion. To be perfectly honest, you're almost as well just skipping this bit and listening to the track for yourself. But let it never be said that I don't like the sound of my own voice, so [...]
Até os entrevistados mais certinhos e previsíveis podem gerar resultados impagáveis quando perante o apresentador norte-americano Stephen Colbert. Então, porquê não unir o apresentador e comediante Colbert com uma das entrevistadas menos convencionais de todo o mundo da música, a islandesa Björk ? Foi o que aconteceu na noite passada, para a sorte dos espectadores do The Colbert Report. Como já é tradicional no Colbert Report, antes da entrevista, Björk apresentou uma das faixas de seu álbum/aplicativo Biophilia . Cosmogony , como apresentada no programa de TV estadunidense, é mais uma prova de [...]

By now, you know to expect Bjork to bring the weirdness, but still, the experimental Icelandic songstress never fails to disappoint on that front. She stopped by The Colbert Report for a short interview and a performance of "Cosmogony," of her latest album Biophilia . Included: her favorite red afro wig, a dress that looks to be inflated, and a man playing some kind of touch screen contraption. Watch the performance below. And here's her interview with Mr. Colbert:
