There isn't a cooler professional career than flying into space as an astronaut. Growing up, the only thing that came even close in my mind was becoming a firefighter or a jet pilot. Well... we can't all be in space. Good thing we have the Urban Astronauts holding it down on Earth. Urban Astronauts is a project by UK artist Matt Darey to fuse more rock'n'roll sounds with EDM. The results have been amazing including two of the biggest recent progressive vocal trance hits. Matt Darey is a household name in trance with over 17 years of incredible productions under [...]
Heartache, loneliness and desperation have never sounded as captivatingly lovely as they do in the gifted hands of the consummate Canadian singer/songwriter Lynn Miles . With a style that recalls the likes of Joni Mitchell and Shawn Colvin with just a touch of a more introspective Lucinda Williams, Miles, over the course of six studio albums since the mid-90's, has been one of the most consistently brilliant if sinfully unheralded performers of our time. Ranging from the stripped and dark Unravel to the more mainstream folk/pop of the Larry Klein-produced Night In A Strange Town, [...]
meine mir liebsten songs in 2009 sind kaum mehr an fünf händen abzuzählen. aber eine auswahl wollte getroffen sein. nachfolgend also 50, die mir ohne groß nachzudenken untergekommen sind. dass yo la tengo und laura gibson das glück hatten, gleich mit zweien dabei zu sein, hängt nur mit meiner mangelnden gedächtnisleistung zusammen. es gäbe unzählig mehr, aber die zeit ist zu knapp und das neue jahr will fortan besungen sein. ein letzter blick zurück: 1. scott matthew – for dick 2. josephine foster - she sweeps with [...]
So here we are at Day 2 of the "Best of 20093 Blogger Crew and today is a monster post from E. over at Das Klienicum . It's a monster because he is posting on his top 50 albums of the year and he even has ratings broken out by number of stars (ranked out of 5 as best)....ummm, top 50 people!! There isn't gushing, there isn't microscopic dissection of each album in order to create some sort of reasoning, there is simply that feeling when you just know that this album is good and [...]

Click To Buy From Amazon Like gingerly slipping your pinky into a bath to test the waters, I'm easing myself back into the blogsphere - one post at a time. Today's offering is from Yo La Tengo - a band that delights and confuses me in something approaching equal measures. In this regard, a song title from their 2006 release I am not Afraid Of You And I will Beat Your Ass can best sum up my feelings: Sometimes I Don't Get You. Like a bar [...]
I usually find split singles to be a fun listen. After all, the chance that you'll like at least one of the songs is favorable. For those unaware, a split single is usually a release from a record label that features two bands on the same release. What I find entertaining, other than the music, is that the two bands sometimes feud as to whether they will have the first or second spot on the album. Humorously enough, this is one of the motivation factors that enables a band to use all of their capabilities to write the best song [...]
