By now, you've most likely heard the sad passing of Whitney Houston on every news outlet and social media network. Although you're unlikely to hear Whitney Houston directly on KEXP, her influence was undeniable and widespread. Even the most jaded hipsters may count her songs and albums as a core part of their early music listening experience, and countless bands cite her as an inspiration. As news continues to spread online, her music and influence is being celebrated by a wide range of artists - from Black Lips to Foster the People to [...]

If you've never heard of Marisa Monte , and tell that to a Brazilian, they will look at you as if you said you had never heard of Madonna. Monte has amassed stellar catalog dating back to 1989 and can easily sell out the Beacon in New York, despite not yet being a household US name. Monte has collaborated with the biggest names in Brazilian music, and of course, Brazil's un-offical US ambassador David Byrne. The facts are staggering: "The "Infinito Ao Meu Redor" worldwide tour... hit 140 shows throughout 50 cities in 15 countries across 4 continents. Monte [...]
This is a very quiet time of the year when it comes to new music. Most major bands don't start releasing material until February or March, so January can be seen as a reflective time. 20112s Top 50 list took me quite a while to finish, but I must say that I'm pretty happy with it overall. Now I find myself wondering what I should be looking forward to in 2012. If the Mayans are to be believed, the world shall be ending sometime in late December. This only leaves 11 more months of new music until mankind is lost [...]
Caetano Veloso e David Byrne lançarão álbum ao vivo no próximo dia 13 de março. Gravado no Carnegie Hall em 2004, o show acústico faz parte da série Perspectives de curadoria do músico baiano. Byrne e Veloso se apresentam tanto solo quanto juntos, acompanhados de Jaques Morelenbaum e do percurssionista Mauro Refosco , que vem acompanhando o Red Hot Chili Peppers em sua última turnê. O repertório mescla material da carreira de ambos, incluindo diversas músicas do Talking Heads e clássicos como Você é Linda [...]

Whenever I log onto Facebook and find my newsfeed littered with updates from my friends' Spotify accounts, I feel like the sole surviving user of Pandora. But every once in a while I'm reminded why I stay adamantly behind the times and continue to use it. (Actually, according to The Washington Post 's In/Out list for 2012, I'm doubly behind the times because Spotify is now out and Bluebrain is in. I'm totally confused as to what Bluebrain is and am pretty sure that even if I did understand, my poor little dumphone wouldn't know [...]
Nicos Gun is a four-piece from Philadelphia. They're a relatively new band and feature young members who've been around for a while. Drummer Harry Zelnick has done studio work with an array of artists including Kelly Clarkson, 50 Cent and Ludacris. Other members have spent time in various other bands including American Babies and Elevator Fight. Having said that, this band sounds nothing like any of these other projects. It seems that the four members have come together to finally make the music they want to be making. "Control" is the standout [...]
![[Introducing] – Morning Teleportation](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3968329_lg.jpg)
Tweet Are your ears itching to discover something different? Then have I got a treat for you. I'm willing to bet that the music of Morning Teleportation is like nothing you've heard before. I certainly hadn't. They classify themselves as Psychedelic/Electro/Roots but they are so much more than that. Achieving musical alchemy, they successfully combine more genres than I can count, creating these fabulous journeys of song. They have taken the rulebook of song writing and thrown it out the window. They're [...]

Photo by anonymous Live music in 2011 saw several newer bands consolidate their hold on greatness, while well-established acts from the 90s brought out crowds for reunion shows and, sadly, farewells. For those of us at the site, we were inspired by crowds of people who were, in a lot of cases, younger than we were checking out bands like Archers of Loaf live for the first time, or finally gaining appreciation for the work of artists like Cass McCombs and Bill Callahan.

I love watching great performances or well-made documentaries featuring my favorite artists from the comfort of my couch. In 2011 a number of fantastic music-related films came out and it was nearly impossible to pick the 10 best efforts, so for 20112s list of my favorite concert films of the year, I expanded the list to 15 and there were still a few fine efforts which didn't make the cut. So with that in mind, we continue our long-standing tradition of detailing my top music-related DVDs/Blu-Rays of the year... 15. [...]

![Matthew Dear – Headcage [Preview]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3930476_lg.jpg)
Matthew Dear is set for Australian shores at the start of 2012. The NYC producer is rumored to release his fifth studio album in the same year, and the teasers and previews of the said record, are already floating about. The Headcage EP is a delightfully refreshing take on electronic influenced pop music, reminiscent of Talking Heads in both musicality, and David Byrne'esque vocals. It's a slightly more cheerful approach for Dear, with hardly any deep influence in aural sight... The video teaser by Morgan Beringer sums up the track perfectly. Looking forward to hearing the rest of [...]
My pre-reaction to the People Get Ready EP was slightly colored by promotion that informed me the foursome's been championed by David Byrne (PGR originator and guitarist Steve Reker 's toured with the latter) and the New York Times . Um, okay. Happily, the same mind that was open for the T. Heads' first D.C. appearance brings me here to report that this is a wonderful debut. As with several other oldies-infusing outfits who've dropped amazing stuff this year, People Get Ready handily integrates anything the band's heard and liked with a [...]

La suite donnera lieu à une longue collaboration avec Brian Eno en tant que producteur du groupe, une entrée au Rock and Roll Hall of Fame , une [...]
The Talking Heads are one of the most talented/creative bands to ever have done music. Led by frontman/musical genius David Byrne, they created some of the best songs of the past 50 years.
