So, its come down to me. This is the last installment of Our Favorite Songs of All Time list and if you haven't already, please check out everyone else's posts, they're great. I knew this was going to be difficult because there is an insane amount of music out there and since we were doing a list based on OUR favorite songs, nothing based off of other critics reviews or other lists, it made it that much more difficult. I built a list of songs based off of my favorite albums, I'd pick a song from a favorite album of [...]
I picked up so much vinyl this year...I'm not even sure how I'm going to pay rent. And isn't that what good music is about? Living in a van...down by the river. There wasn't a release this year that I went in excited about...but I came out loving almost everything I purchased. I've had the chance to listen to most of my purchases and have heard a lot of other stuff. And the Calexico album

For the first four volumes of our Vacation Coverfolk series, we pulled from the archives to bring you features on the songs and coverage of Elizabeth Cotten , Carolina Chocolate Drops , and Doc Watson , and a mixtape of coverfolk songs with Carolina in the title . Today, we turn to a new subject: Concord, North Carolina natives The Avett Brothers , whose rise to fame over the past decade has represented a coalescing of neo-traditional elements from the region and beyond. Read on for a look at one of [...]
Fuzzy guitars, a casual 90’s slacker vibe, and vulnerable lyrics coexist to give you exactly the album you crave when you’re teetering as a wallflower.

It's easy to lose track of time when there is a lot going on in your life. I didn't realize how long it had been since I posted here, and the main reason is I've been busy trying to figure out my car situation. My car's motor blew out about 3 weeks ago and most [...]
Sí, ya sé que es viernes, y que a estas alturas de la semana lo que a la gente le apetece es algo animado y tal: considerad esto una puñalada trapera, directa a vuestro corazón, que estaréis acertando. " He Took You In His Arms " os va a parecer preciosa, pero a más de uno le dejará alguna avería. Vamos a ello, pues. La canción sirve para presentar " A Bad Wind Blows In My Heart ", el disco con el que Bill Ryder-Jones, ex-guitarrista de The Coral, da continuación al proyecto en solitario que inició, primero [...]
By Confusion & Constant Gardner A waltz is "dance music in triple meter, written in time signature 3/4-beat. Waltzes typically have one chord per measure, and the accompaniment style particularly associated with the waltz is to play the root of the chord on the first beat, the upper notes on the second and third beats." You don't need to know this to know what a waltz is though. You know a waltz when you hear one, and if you're unsure, just try to tap along to it. If you find yourself doing a "mm-tch-tch, mm-tch-tch" or [...]
In honor of Josh Ritter ’s lovely yet heartwrenching new album , inspired by the tragic disintegration of his marriage, I’ve compiled a mix of some of my favorite breakup songs. To keep this at a reasonable number, I’ve limited it to songs from the last 15 years (apologies to Bob Dylan , Nilsson , Sam Cooke , Love , and The Cure , among others). Click here to download the mix / listen on Spotify . 01. Stars - Your Ex-Lover Is Dead [...]
Song lyrics are clearly a popular choice for tattoos, and in the past we've celebrated some of the greatest verses ever committed to skin . But the vast majority of lyrical quotes are pretty much plain old script tattoos — we have nothing against this, but it's interesting to see tattoos where lyrics are combined with an artistic flourish, so we've gathered some examples of truly beautiful work that we thought we'd share with you. Elliott Smith [...]
Of course, Say Anything has "In Your Eyes", Goodfellas has "Layla", Apocalypse Now has "The End", Fight Club has "Where Is Your Mind", but a cover song in a movie is just different. A cover song in a movie elevates the drama - ascribing all kinds of meaning and sentiment to the music being played. All of a sudden this song that we're pretty sure we've heard before is chewing the scenery and the actors fade into the background. When the director has two characters listen to Sonic Youth cover The Carpenters, or opens his film with a dusty acoustic [...]
Movie Director Paul Thomas Anderson ("There Will Be Blood", "Boogie Nights") directed the footage featured below of "The Jon Brion Show", a kind of music variety show that never aired. Jon Brion has done work as a producer (Fiona Apple, Kanye West), a composer ("Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind", "Punch-Drunk Love"), and has a couple of studio LPs to his name. The video is a great watch just for Elliott Smith fans and god bless Paul Thomas Anderson for making it available. It's a pretty solid 43 minutes from the vault of the pre 10s. [...]
![RYAN HEMSWORTH’S INSPIRED ‘COLOUR & MOVEMENT’ [VIDEO]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4766545_lg.jpg)
Ryan Hemsworth’s “Colour & Movement” has been stalking me since I saw the song's video a few weeks ago. Featuring a group of Urban Outfitters-esque girls smoking cigarettes, the footage couldn’t be a more perfect companion to the song. The Canadian producer mixes and distorts The Notwist’s “Consequence” with minimalistic effects and beats to create a song that actually sounds like sexy, slow motion cigarette smoke. Then, right around three and a half minutes, he masterfully tosses Elliott Smith’s “Everything Means Nothing to Me” into the mix. Brilliant! He’s definitely gaining momentum [...]

With just days to go until the first The G-Man Presents... show of 2013, Seamus Fogarty chooses the tunes ahead of his first ever visit to Cork's Plugd Records on Friday, February 8th. Here's Seamus to guide us through his ten choices. Palace - 'Come In' I hated this song the first few times I heard it, I couldn't get [...]
Should dead artists have Facebook pages? For that matter, should any dead people exist in the world of social media? Is it wrong for record labels to use social media accounts of deceased artists to promote material and keep up sales? What about when it's run by family members to raise awareness and keep the legacies alive? For some, there seems to be something unnatural and unsettling about the idea of creating Facebook pages for dead people. In a lot of ways, our social media accounts have come to be an extension of our own voices. While we hope that [...]
A suburban boy from Detroit named Brett Farkas becomes one of the most skilled and imaginative guitar players in the Los Angeles music scene and creates a side project called Boys School . Mr. Farkas started his career playing in The King of Rock 'n' Soul, Solomon Burke's band as a fresh, wet-nosed kid. Now, he's making guitar-driven, indie-pop music alongside Stella Mozgawa of Warpaint , Aaron Embry of Elliott Smith and Edward Sharpe , Andy [...]
