As the ACL Festival creeps closer (6 weeks away!), I thought I'd check out the schedule and dive into some discovery of artists I hadn't heard. Charlie Mars , one of the first acts to play on Friday, Oct. 8th, was my first pick. I dialed up his record, Like a Bird Like a Plane , on Rdio , and instantly liked what I heard. The title track that kicks off the album has a nice, cool vibe. I dig the sparse instrumentation [...]

As part of the April issue of Esquire, the almost 80 year-old men's culture magazine asked five singer-songwriters to take part in their Esquire Songwriting Challenge by inviting them to the Shack-Up Inn in Clarksdale, Mississippi to take part in a two-day fashion shoot with photographer Danny Clinch.

I have never claimed to be cool. Ever. But now I think even the last remaining paricles of hipness in body are slowly dying a slow, uncool death. And I am OK with it. I just don't have the time,energy, or desire to unearth the latest MGMT remix or the next big thing(usually some obscure Brooklyn band.) I am at peace with my lameness and I choose to listen to stuff like Charlie Mars. No, Mr. Mars doesn't reinvent the rock n'roll wheel nor does he have superstar indie bands lining up to remix his songs. He just [...]
I first heard this song on SiriusXM The Loft. Later that day, I downloaded it from eMusic. It's catchy. Has a chorus begging for you to sing-a-long with. AND a topic we can all relate to. A universally wonderful track that will seep into your mind. There's even a good chance you'll be listening to Dark Side by day's end.

Filed under: News , Video , Exclusive A few years ago, actress Mary Louise Parker appeared in the Jayhawks video for 'Save It for a Rainy Day,' in which she sports a yellow dress and does some, uh, interesting dancing. It's an experience she'd rather forget. "I'm good friends with Gary Louris, and it was so bad, no one ever saw it," Parker tells Spinner. "I'd just gotten pregnant. It's beyond embarrassing." But that experience didn't deter her from videos all together. [...]

Artist Alert: Charlie Mars
You'd think I'd be tired of the Jason Mraz type singer-songwriters who make easy-breezy music with an acoustic guitar (and I thought I was too), but one listen to Charlie Mars and I knew I wasn't done. Mars will soon be releasing Like a Bird, Like a Plane - which, it turns out, is his [...]

Charlie Mars - Like A Bird, Like A Plane
Pop/Rock - In a low keyed but inspired break from his previous four acclaimed albums, singer/songwriter Charlie Mars sets the controls for the heart of a slinky, often world-beat groove on his superior new June 9 project Like A Bird, Like A Plane . His bio describes the new album as "hardwired to hearts and hips...tightly crafted songs with moods and melodies that pulse with sex, wonderment and self-destruction" and it would be hard to disagree. "I started to feel less inspired by traditional rock," he observes, "and pulled toward the snakey, sinewy, sensuality of groove." [...]
Daily Video: Charlie Mars - 'Listen to the Dark Side'
"If you want to come over, come over and get high, we can listen to The Dark Side of the Moon" sings Charlie Mars in this shuffling preview of his forthcoming album Like A Bird, Like A Plane (June 9). Featuring the always watchable actress Mary Louise Parker, the "Dark Side" video has a grainy, homemade charm and music that just lazily chugs along astride B3 organ fills and a percolating bass/drum ticking beat. And how perfect is it that the star of "Weeds" stars in this bong-toke homage? [...]
