Δεν βαρεθήκατε όμορφες starlets να μολύνουν τον πολύτιμο indie αέρα μας; Δεν βαρεθήκατε τα lipgloss τους να δίνουν χρώμα στα νεκρικά χλωμά πρόσωπα των αυθεντικών indie κοριτσιών; Ή τις μπούκλες κομμωτηρίου να καταστρέφουν το αξίωμα 50% αφέλειες-50% πρόσωπο; Εμείς πάντως ναι. Γι'αυτό στηρίζουμε το εναλλακτικό είδωλο Zooey Deschanel που προσχώρησε στην κάστα μας. Λέμε όχι στην Scarlett Johansson. Λέμε ναι στην Ζωή. Έχουμε όμως μουσικά κριτήρια για να προλάβουμε τους παρεξηγιάρηδες. Η Zooey δεν έχει δολοφονήσει τραγούδια του Tom Waits και έχει μπει σταδιακά [...]

Cette XXème édition de la Route du Rock malouine commencera pour nous l'aprem' du vendredi 13 août, sur la plage de l'éventail. Lors du légendaire tournoi de foutchebaulle de la R d R , la ww2w soccer (et sans reproche) team tentera de faire honneur à son nom en courant de façon ridicule après un ballon... Sinon, musicalement, comme d'habitude, quasiment tous les trucs programmés nous bottent. Si on sera juste curieux d'y voir des trucs comme Dum Dum Girls, Martina Topley Bird ou Massive Attack, on est complètement excités à l'idée d'y voir les Ganglians, The [...]
Hello world. No, this isn't my first post, but it has been a while. In the past few months I've been trying to balance the life of being a father, husband, student, and co-worker. I distinctly pulled back from commitments so I could regather my focus. I had been burning the candle on both ends, recording and co-hosting a weekly radio show on top of the grinding mix. Everything culminated on May 29th when my wife, two small children, and I were in a head-on collision at full speed with an SUV on a highway near our home. [...]

So tonight is Friday, you are kicking around Calgary. You lean into the bearded guy next to you and say, "Brother, what the hell do you do in Calgary on a Friday night?". Well, thank you for asking.... Tonight's official Slowcoustic recommendation is taking place at the "Arrata" venue (all ages surprisingly enough) and goes something along the lines of: Come on, you can't do much better on a Friday night....in Calgary....right? It all goes down at the Arrata Opera Centre at 1315 - 7th Street SW! To [...]

DM Stith - BMB (Alternate Version) DM Stith - Pity Dance DM Stith (featuring Sufjan Stevens & Shara Worden) - Around The Lion Legs

After numerous opinions about the new layout I tried a few weeks ago, it seems the general consensus in regards to it is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." After observing it for a couple of days, I sort of agree with it, but changing it was sort of a way to cut down on how much time it takes for me to post it. At times it could take upwards of two hours to get everything together, and some weeks I just don't feel up to doing it. Anyways, that's the end of that, so [...]

![[Live Review] DM Stith, The Cube, Bristol, April 8th 2010](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2484631_lg.jpg)
There's something strangely 1940s about DM Stith. Maybe it's especially apparent in the retro movie theatre surroundings of the Cube, but I like it. Stripped of the multitracked voices of album Heavy Ghost (well, almost stripped, opener 'Morning Glory Cloud' builds up with sampled hand claps and guitar knocks), I'm aware how complicated some of the basics of Stth's songs are, and what a truly great fingerpicker he is too. He's a charming and witty guy too, and cements his victory in the battle for KV's heart with his poignant tribute to the late (and much lamented round these [...]

We got more mixtapes coming at you. I sure hope you cleared off a little room on your iPod, iPhone, iTouch, or, to be more topical iPad! Speaking of the iPad. I saw a photo yesterday, a photo from Saturday's launch of the iPad that struck me as so powerful, so telling, [...]

Je n'y étais pas, hélas, vous non plus, probablement, voici de quoi nous rattraper... Un peu... I wasn't there, alas, you either, probably, so here's something to make up ourselves... A little bit...

Ο David Michael Stith επανέρχεται με covers reworkings και remixes του Heavy Ghost, ενός από τα καλύτερα μου της περασμένης χρονιάς (κλικ στην εικόνα για περισσότερα)

Brighton’s Mechanical Bride are in support for mellow Sunday night of rather sublime songwriting at The Slaughtered Lamb. Present as a two-piece (due to minor injuries to a third band member) Lauren Dross and Caroline Weeks work through a set of instrument swapping and delicately-crafted quiet songs. The piano waltz of ‘Poor Boy’ coupled with the duo’s simple vocals harmonies recall something timeless in the talk of changing “gray eyes back to blue”. Dross’ sparse guitar and mandolin parts are particularly captivating; Weeks adding dabs of flute and accordion that flourish without overwhelming the sound. [...]
