DM Stith - I Stay Still It's a song about holiday despair and separation and holy despair and loneliness and shopping despair and motion and stillness and a snowstorm and it's set in upstate NY.

Het yMusic sextet begint een aardige reputatie te krijgen in de popmuziek. De blazers en strijkers van yMusic werkten al samen met St. Vincent en The National. Het sextet helpt nu My Brightest Diamond om misschien wel haar mooiste album te maken. De stem van Shara Worden en de instrumenten van yMusic vullen elkaar prachtig aan. In het sprookjesachtige In The Beginning en het theatrale Ding Dang klinken stem en instrumenten als één organisch geheel. Shara's labelgenoot DM Stith komt nog even langs om samen met Shara het duet Everything Is In Line [...]

I don't get to see my Sister very often because we live on opposite sides of the country from eachother. She came to visit me this past weekend and forgot a couple of cd's in my car when she left. Even though Montreal is a lot better known for it's music scene than Jasper, we still seem to have very similar taste in tunes. Here is the first one I popped into the ole stereo and have been listening to for the past 3 days. Reminds me of summer. Stay tuned for the second cd... 1. [...]

PS11 | środa | czwartek | piątek | sobota | niedziela | TRIÁNGULO DE AMOR BIZARRO (San Miguel) Nie jest łatwo otwierać główną scenę sporego festiwalu, szczególnie jeśli, tak jak Galisyjczycy, dysponuje się jednym ostrym numerem i całym magazynkiem przeciętnych ślepaków. Skradliśmy jednak z koncertu to na czym nam zależało – rzeczone kapitalne „De la monarquía a la criptocracia" w wersji (całkiem) żywej. Reszta bez historii, więc pielgrzymki do Santiago nie będzie. DM STITH i SUFJAN STEVENS [...]
Twitter has established itself as a powerful tool for sharing and obtaining information about a wide range of subjects. Since my interests are fairly limited, I have mostly elected to use this emerging medium as a channel through which to locate interesting new music. The ability to publish short, informal messages to a user created...

It was intriguing to see that Will Oldham, aka Bonnie "Prince" Billy, has covered the opening track, "All The Trees of the Field Will Clap Their Hands," for a new tribute to Sufjan Stevens' 2004 album Seven Swans , dubbed Seven Swans Reimagined , but one name on the 15-song record jumped out as a pleasant surprise: The Gregory Brothers. Sure, the group behind Auto-Tune the News and this year's "Bed Intruder Song" sensation have made plenty of non-joke jams too, but who knew they were up for [...]
In the last eight years or so, Sufjan Stevens established himself not only as the defining artist of the indie folk genre, but also as a genius of lush, grandiose orchestration. The lyricism of his form was utterly transcendent, and transformed even the narrative of a serial killer into a work of art. Audiences during [...]
