Like my compatriot JAW, I too have begun to notice the preponderance of men with acoustic guitars on this blog. As opposed to reacting by needing filth, however, I thought it might be good to pay some homage to the underrepresented gender on this blog (all of our writers seem to be male). I'd argue that a little bit more estrogen might be good for malleus&incus. And while I'd be very happy going for some piano and guitar driven artists like Sara Bareilles or Tristan Pettyman (who are also worth checking out), I thought it might be better to go in a (slightly) different [...]
80. Jay Reatard Blood Visions For all those folks that have been screaming "punk is dead" for two decades I'd like to present Jay Reatard to show you that punk is most definitely not dead. Now his tunes may not be wholly punk in nature, there's a bit of metal and even some pop mixed in there, but his attitude and his approach to songwriting is most definitely punk. Two and three minute long songs spit out in the blink of an eye with hard charging guitars to go along with them. Yeah, punk's not [...]
In recent years the crowd that is claiming "the album is dead" has grown louder and louder. We couldn't disagree more. As more and more people turn to iTunes and the Hype Machine to download the latest and greatest singles, we have stuck to the traditional album listening and found that there are still some truly great records being made these days. For most of this year we have been inundated by bands breaking into the world, mainstream artists trying to recapture their former glory, and indie rock "superstars" growing into their own, it has been exciting and fun and [...]
Photography by gabriele chiapparini Ah, the quarterlife crisis. Don't know much about it on a "well-read" & "technical level", but on a personal level, I think I've seen it happen. Somewhere around the 20+ year old mark, peaking as you start approaching 25, potentially hitting critical mass if nothing has been "activated" by 30, it's during that 10 year span where if things aren't going the way you dreamed/hoped/thought/prepared for/wanted/etc, a sense of panic and/or depression and/or dread and/or boredom can start to settle in... I was fortunate enough to skip it [...]

Imogen Heap will release her next album on August 24th/25th, Ellipse. Imogen Heap has been keeping her fans busy since her last release with a ton of online activity, the focal point being her Twitter profile. You may remember Imogen Heap from one of the coolest robot songs ...
During this week's Smörgåsbord, don't use your sleeve to wipe your mouth. That's why you've got a napkin. We're serving up a pretty recent Ra Ra Riot remix, a remix of my favorite Common song (about threesomes nonetheless), and then a collab from two indie rock superstars. We've got someplace to be, so don't dawdle. Ra Ra Riot - Dying is Fine (Cale Parks Remix) (mp3) Common - Go! (JBlow Remix) (mp3) Feist + Ben Gibbard - Train Song (mp3) from [...]

I know I'm a little slow on the uptake with this one but my excuse is that I was out of the country for a few weeks... Anyways, if you hate HIV/AIDS but love good music you should probably buy this year's Dark Was The Night charity compilation. Proceeds benefit the Red Hot Organization, which has been fighting AIDS through pop culture/music since 1989. Find out more about Red Hot here . So for a measly $13 you get 2 CD's of really great music (there's also a triple-vinyl option....which is pretty sweet) and you help support [...]
