Witamy po długiej przerwie (spowodowanej odcięciem od stałego dostępu do internetu) i zapraszamy na relację z tegorocznego festiwalu Wintercase. Trzeba wspomnieć, że festiwal zmienił nieco formułę. W zeszłym roku (patrz: relacja yoko ) bardziej znane zespoły - droższe karnety, w tym roku mniej znane zespoły - tańsze karnety. I co prawda bardziej znany nie zawsze znaczy lepszy, skład Wintercase 2007 był niestety bardziej imponujący. Nie jest jednak źle. Zupełnie nie! Jest, powiedziałbym, bardzo dobrze i kameralnie, a zaoszczędzone euro można spokojnie wydać na nadzianej komisami ulicy [...]
Regardless of what you think about Barack Obama's politics, you must admit that the man is a pop-cultural phenomenon. Has there ever been an American politician who has had so many tribute songs written for him? I've been collecting as many of them as I can find, figuring they're going to be a weird piece of history. And, believe me, it doesn't get much weirder then this one. Don't know who Buddy Lewis is, but this tune is the funniest, retarded-est bit of Barack 'n' roll I've heard thus far. Because Obama is of [...]
{ via } Because it's the best season, really... Or at least the most beautiful, what with the world slowing down sadly and carefully, like it's getting ready to pack up the year along with its summer clothes. Destroyer - Painter in your Pocket Torngat - You Could Be Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal Department of Eagles - No One Does It Like You The Be Good Tanyas - The Littlest Birds [...]

With all the music related activities this weekend has to offer (see: Bumbershoot , Fuck Yeah Fest , and memorial day cookouts with iPod docks), most of us will have plenty of do over the next 72 hours. Still, hopefully you can carve out a few minutes to check out this weekend's edition of our Friday Mixtape. As alwas, included below is a mix of new singles, fun remixes, and some tunes from up-and-comers you just might want to check out... NEW Singles: "Already Down" by Awesome Color [...]
Clare & The Reasons - Pluton I woke up today in a crippling state of lethargy that allowed me to do very little. Perhaps it was the weekend catching up with me or just the usual sleep deficiency taking its toll, but it persisted until I switched my decaf tea to caffinated out of sheer desperation. So here's a sleeply song that has been soundtracking my Monday malaise. It's a slowed down version, en Français, of a song about a planet's fall from grace. Together, the tracks bookend this Brooklyn band's [...]
What an interesting weekend it has been...First as you now, my house flooded... After fully realizing its dreams of being a kiddie pool this weekend, my apartment has now decided that it is content being just an apartment and all water related activity has now subsided. Also this weekend, I briefly mentioned I blew my knee out Friday night. That made for a great weekend right there, hobbling to and fro. Luckily though I have this bad ass London Fog umbrella (it's huge, like a 6 foot wingspan) and the handle to it is cane shaped, with a solid wood [...]
I am not leaving the house this week. Instead I am going to be locked in my sweaty little internet den (or the 'editing suite', if you want it to sound a bit less grotty) beavering away at session videos. I couldn't resist a little leak of one of the Meursault recordings here though, but that's because the whole thing is coming together really nicely and I am just plain excited. And the Festival ends this week as well. Would you believe I haven't done a single show this year, not one. I mean, [...]
Each month, I make a playlist consisting of an artist of every letter of the alphabet. This month, every song is either a cover, remix, or mash up. This is July 2008: 1. Don't Speak (No Doubt Cover) - Anna Maria Jopek - Alternative - Crazy Covers 2-Beautiful Covers Download It Here I must admit, I absolutely love the original version and lounge musik so that's the reasoning behind this one. 2. Joga [ft. Ben Barnett] (Björk Cover) - Ben Gibbard - Acoustic - Rare Tracks [...]

Sometimes, someone else says it better. In this case Music Snobbery- blog , on Clare & the Reasons : "This is kind of music you play when you take your loved one out on a boat, and she's carrying a parasol and the pastel colors are swirling around." The sevenpiece band is led by Carla Muldaur, who was 'born on the island of Martha's Vineyard, in a vegetable garden amongst the most incredible tomatoes grown by her mother Sheila.' Album The Movie (released in September) is aptly titled. Themes for 1920's movies, borsalino's and broads. Guests include Van Dyke [...]
Τα δυο τρία posts των Σαββατοκύριακων που θα προηγηθούν του τελικού post με τα album της χρονιάς [μεταξύ άλλων], δεν είναι κλασικές ανασκοπήσεις. Αυτά τα αφήνουμε σε άλλους πιο ειδικούς, με καλύτερη μνήμη [και καλύτερο γούστο]. Έτσι σήμερα θα δούμε πως πέρασε τη χρονιά του ένας κύριος που, αφού κυκλοφόρησε το άλμπουμ της χρονιάς του 2005, τόσο καλό μάλιστα που την επόμενη χρονιά κυκλοφόρησε άλλο ένα άλμπουμ με τα sessions που δε χώρεσαν σ'αυτό, αφού κυκλοφόρησε, πέρυσι τέτοιον καιρό, ένα 5πλό box-set με Χριστουγεννιάτι κα τραγούδια, μετακόμισε στη Νέα Υόρκη και πέρασε έναν ολόκληρο χρόνο χωρίς καμία [...]
This week, we focus on females who I don't feel guilty about liking and didn't make the Ten Favorite Album list. Adrienne Young ~ Once More Website = Ag-Rock at its finest KT Tunstall ~ Saving My Face Website = One-woman-band folk-rocks the house Grace Potter (and the Nocturnals) ~ [...]
I surprise myself sometimes, no more so than when I fell for this oddly compelling piece of music from Clare & The Reasons. 'Pluto', quite accurately named as it comes from another planet, it also trips across several genres but is an instantly likable piece of quirk. Clare is married to Oliver Manchon and together with 4 others they make up Clare & The Reasons. 'Pluto' is taken from their debut
Clare & The Reasons - Pluto.mp3 4.3 Mb Clare & The Reasons - Alphabet City.mp3 7.1 Mb I wanted to write about Clare & The Reason a while ago. The only reason I haven't yet was because of the lack of a high quality photo. It is obvious that they had a full photo shoot, but try finding a high resolution version of the thumbnails you see everywhere, good luck. I found one, [...]
