You moved in slow degrees/A sudden memory/You're a Leonard Cohen song - Better Than Ezra, "Under You" But I was caught, like a fleeting thought / Stuck inside Leonard Cohen's mind - Mercury Rev, "A Drop In Time" Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld / So I can sigh eternally - Nirvana, "Pennyroyal Tea" It's almost unbelievable now to think that we almost never heard Leonard Cohen , the singer.

Two ladies of Oregonian and South African descents respectively, two acoustic guitars, one Berlin-based label , and one day upon which two toe-warming records are outed. Hardly The Twelve Days of Christmas, although that aforementioned day has finally dawned as the latest efforts from Laura Gibson and Dear Reader have eventually emerged like newborns wriggling free from cocoon-like blanket, bathed in daylight for the very first time. Indeed both La Grande and Idealistic Animals add some vivacious flicker to the slow-roasting embers of the New Year as Gibson and Cheri MacNeil masterfully [...]]]> text/html 2011-11-15T16:07:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3868229/ben-howard-every-kingdom/
I'm sorry to have been so lax in my blogging lately... work, school, concerts, life, blah blah blah. You get the idea.

Harvard and Stone used to be just the Stone, a triumphantly shabby drag queen hangout that could service Jean Spinosas Wig Out as easily as an impromptu rock show. Now that gentrification bucks have graduated it into Harvard and Stone, an upscale-looking hetero joint theyve decorated ironically by peeling off the plaster, exposing the wood and drywall, installing vintage-looking low wattage bulbs, and basically going slum chic with the whole thing, it seemed a little out of place as a venue for Jade Castrinos, the jubilant female co-singer of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, she with the [...]]]> text/html 2011-11-03T12:54:18+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3836153/legendary-parallelograms-by-linda-perhacs/
Linda Perhacs is a California dentist who recorded the legendary psychedelic folk record Parallelograms back in 1970. The album disappeared without much of a proper release and Linda went back into dentistry, only to discover a new generation of fans and artists (like Devendra Banhart, Daft Punk, and Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth) hailing her album as an influential masterpiece 40 years later. This is just a snippet of her contribution to freak folk way before it become a genre.
