In Search of Christian Music That Doesn’t Suck

Feb 5, 12:00pm Flavorwire

We surely can't be the only ones who suppressed a shudder when we saw the title of My Morning Jacket songwriter Jim James' new solo album: Regions of Light and Sound of God . As it turns out, the title doesn't necessarily mean that James has gone born-again on our hellbound asses, but either way, we have to admit that our reaction did rather have us reassessing our own prejudices: would James going all Christian necessarily mean that the resultant album would suck massively? We have to say that the answer is probably no — some of our [...]

The 10 Best Daniel Johnston Songs

Jan 23, 12:33pm Pigeons and Planes

Daniel Johnston's life story is the stuff movies are made of. There have, in fact, been movies made about Daniel Johnston (most notably the critically acclaimed The Devil and Daniel Johnston ), and if you ever want to get a look into the troubled life that produced this unique artist, you can watch those movies. This isn't about that, it's about the music. When you read about Daniel Johnston, you'll often read that you can't understand his music unless you understand him as a person. Never believe this kind of talk. It is never true. Backstories and context [...]

Filipe C. grava versão de ” True Love Will Find You in The End”

Jan 14, 7:52pm Rock 'n' Beats

Quem aqui conhece  True Love Will Find You in The End?  A canção de Daniel Johnston fez parte de seu disco 1990 , lançado no mesmo ano e que dá nome ao disco. Daniel Johnston teve seu grande estouro graças a Kurt Cobain, que curtia o trabalho do cara no nível de usar camisetas em entrevistas e outras menções não menos honrosas. A questão é que  True Love Will Find You in The End  fez parte da trilha sonora do filme argentino Medianeras (2011) e começou a circular novamente pelas [...]

Today's Hotness: Fleeting Joys, Mona Elliot

Jan 5, 10:26pm :: clicky clicky music blog ::

>> Northern California-based shoegaze heros Fleeting Joys work slowly, methodically and largely out of sight. It can be frustrating for fans; indeed, social media appearances are almost as infrequent as new music is released. However, our near-vigil waiting for new sounds from the now-trio has finally been rewarded, as today Fleeting Joys announced the release of a digital single titled "Kiss A Girl In Black," which the band promises is taken from a long-awaited third full-length record. The act -- which according to its Facebook page now includes presumed drummer Matt McCord alongside the [...]

Review: Daniel Johnston at Grand Central 12/7

Dec 10, 2012, 12:01am South Florida Music Obsessed

“I had a dream that this guy was sentenced to death for trying to commit suicide. I was in the back screaming, no! No!” is what Daniel Johnston nervously exclaimed, distracting us from a difficulty ensuing with the piano he was set to play. He quickly shuffled away from the instrument and went back to [...]

14 Bands Major Labels Thought Would Be the Next Nirvana

Dec 8, 2012, 10:00am Flavorwire

When Nirvana moved from Sub Pop to DGC Records in 1990, the major label hoped they could achieve the sort of success attained by the other former indie band that helped pave the way for the Seattle rockers to sign to a major, Sonic Youth. By 1992, Nevermind had replaced Michael Jackson at #1 on the Billboard album charts, and really did change everything that came after it. It also sent major labels combing through the underground in an attempt to try and catch lightning in a bottle for a second time, and saw some of the strangest [...]

Art Basel: Daniel Johnston Interview

Dec 7, 2012, 7:26pm South Florida Music Obsessed

What we thought would be individual interviews ended up turning into a round table two person conversation with [...]

Show Review: Conor Oberst at the Warner Theatre

Nov 30, 2012, 5:03pm WKNC 88.1 FM

Sitting just three blocks from the White House in downtown D.C. is the extravagant and elegant Warner Theatre. Never had I imagined getting the chance to see the notable Conor Oberst, let alone at such a remarkable venue. This had to be one of the most memorable Thursday nights I have experienced in quite a while, which made the four and a half hour journey to get there all the more worth it. Opening up for Conor Oberst was Daniel Johnston, a legend himself. A shaky performance by the well-known artist was much appreciated by the entire crowd. [...]

Graded on a Curve: Daniel Johnston, Fun

Nov 28, 2012, 8:30am The Vinyl District

Of all the fine stuff scheduled to hit the racks last week for Black Friday, one item particularly stood out in large part due to its belated appearance on vinyl. In all the excitement and hubbub of the holiday festivities, it was easy to miss the last minute cancellation of this record, shifting the focus below from an appreciation of a long-delayed vinyl slight to a consideration of a release whose LP coronation continues to be denied. The subject is Fun, the sole major-label entry in the discography of Daniel Johnston, originally issued by Atlantic Records [...]

Rockampeonato Recomienda: Estos eran los 50 discos favoritos de Kurt Cobain

Nov 12, 2012, 12:12pm noiselab

Breeders, los primeros 3 de los Wipers, un poco de las Slits, el Generic Flipper , y hasta favoritos personales como Half Japanese, en fin.. La lista de Kurt es una maravilla. Llena de joyas atemporales y muchas otras que sólo podían pertenecer a la infame década de los noventa, este pedazo de papel ahora convertido en una imagen de 600 x 995 nos dice mucho de lo que pasaba por los oídos (y cabeza) de uno de los íconos más prominentes en la historia de la música.

I went straight [...]
