It's been too long since I posted a podcast, so this is Step 1 in catching up. This fourth edition of the Buzzsicle features songs from 17 L.A. artists whose names I heard in the aftermath of last month's South by Southwest Music Festival . In my Austin wanderings, I mostly avoided L.A. bands, figuring I could always see them at home, but during the inevitable schmoozing of the festival I asked friends, fans and random people who they'd seen and who made an impression. Tracklist follows the jump. ||| Download: "Buzzsicle 43 [...]
Monday, March 30, 2009 Today's Quick Mention: As I said via Twitter, "Absolutely stellar show by The Calm Blue Sea. A better score for Siegfried doesn't exist. They have to do the sequel". If you weren't there you should have been. The end. I've got a lot of stuff to share, so you'll probably get a couple of EPs this week. Plus, the site just looks weird to me without music oozing out from everywhere. Enjoy. : Loxsly - Battalions : [...]
O+S I've been slacking lately in the new music realm. With both SXSWi and SXSW Music Conferences plus a trip to the Digital Summit in Nashville I've been hard pressed to post up a new MP3 or two, so here's ten new cuts that are more laid back than usual for you to listen to over [...]
Eagle Winged Palace sounds like they should be playing proggy butt-metal. I imagine Eagle Winged Palaces to be places where men with ponytails frolick with attractive women in assless chaps and wield swords that are polished to a sun-glinting sheen. I've been told my imagination can run a little wild. Instead Eagle Winged Palace (chainmail! silvery horned helmets!) are a fivesome (in a rare occurrence, four women and a fella) that play deep, droning folk music. And I can't attest that I enjoy this whole EP, but "Hand of Doom" (dragons blasting fiery blasts! ... sorry) is darkly [...]
As I wrote the bio for local folk outfit, Eagle Winged Palace, I'm in no objective position to review "Hand of Doom," their debut EP on Park the Van (Dr. Dog, The Spinto Band). Then again, I wouldn't waste my time writing a one-sheet for a mediocre group-so there's that. The words in question are below. It's good stuff-I promise. (((Eagle Winged Palace))) are folk as ghost story. Spooky tales of weird edge of the earth California: Spanish ship wrecks slammed into the rocks of Big Sur; moon faced spirits of silent film stars darting [...]
There may be no other musical sub genre I love more than the neo-psyche folk rock inspired by the ocean waves and grainy film of David Crosby macking chicks in a Big Sur hot tub. Maybe it's my combined...
Last night was entirely too much fun. I saw soo many people last night I hadn't seen in forever!! I'm sorry I couldnt spend more time reconnecting. not gunna lie - a little hungover today. Started 25 off with a bang! I can now officially get a rental car without paying the under-age fee. This is the clear sign that I'm officially old. Hangover mixtape can be found below. A lot of feel good tunes that wont induce a splitting migraine...... ohh the pain..... [MP3] Neko Case - [...]
[Happy birthday to Duff McKagan, rock star, online columnist and ... mountain climber .] My, what a diverse music menu you have tonight, Los Angeles. Let's start with a couple intriguing small shows, like at the Silverlake Lounge, where Andy Friedman & the Other Failures are in from Brooklyn. Friedman is a New Yorker cartoonist-turned-poet-turned- folk singer whose new album "Weary Things"is full of country-fied stuff that'll tickle your brain and tug at your heart. ... At Bordello, ex-Los Abandoned singer Pilar Diaz plays [...]

They sure look the part, don't they? Yeah, I was about ready to write this off too, but then (((eagle winged palace))) lulled me into such a sense of utter calm with their new song "Hand Of Doom" that I couldn't summon the will to rip on their outfits. Check them out tomorrow night at Boardners for Radio Free Silver Lakes 's Let's Independent with Minor Canon and Luke Top. Download "Hand Of Doom" ( mp3 ) Tuesday, April 15th: (((eagle [...]
