Where are you, Fiona Apple? After a banner 2012, the singer-songwriter recently cancelled her only scheduled appearance for 2013, at Barcelona's Primavera Sound festival; she also torpedoed a slew of South American tour dates late last year with no signs of rescheduling on the horizon. Of course, we shouldn't be surprised - disappearance is part and parcel of Apple's career trajectory. Apple says she rarely ventures outside her Los Angeles home, except when visiting the L.A. club Largo, where she occasionally hops on stage with pal and resident performer Jon Brion. She doesn't drive and claims there [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-21T00:51:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4961269/joanna-burns/

No one buys albums anymore, goes the music industry truism. And yet, for all that the format's commercial viability may or may not be on the wane, sitting and listening to a great album from start to finish is one of the greatest pleasures that music can bring. Flavorwire recently got to thinking about how one might build a record collection if you really only did buy one record a year. So here's the result of our thought exercise: 50 albums you really should own, one a year from 1963 until the present day. Yes, of course this mean things [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-09T23:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4942090/top-fives-artists-whove-crossed-the-line/
The role of any artist is usually to push the boundaries sometimes in the guise of publicity, often for the sake of social commentary, and sometimes just because they can (cough, Madonna, cough). Unfortunately, those artists arent the topic of this article.This article is about artists whove gone too far by acting inappropriately off or on-stage and crossed the line with or without intent. There are public faux pas, there are unfortunate misdemeanors, and then there are full-on, highly publicized, embarrassingly public meltdowns that would put even Kanye West, King of the Mid-Concert Rant, to shame.

"Girlsongs" is an incredible cover album by the Austin based group SPEAK. This four man group from Texas does an a capella version of six popular songs originally performed by female singers. The tracks feature lyrics from artists like Alicia Keys, Fiona Apple, Charli XCX, and Tegan and Sara, and each song has a unique [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-08T17:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4939349/10-amazing-shocking-unscripted-moments-from-90s-mtv/
Though the channel debuted in the early '80s, MTV really found its groove in the '90s when it still balanced music coverage with its burgeoning original reality, comedy, and animated programming. Because we can't resist looking back fondly on the wild and wacky on-air incidents that shaped our adolescence, here are ten mind-blowing moments from MTV's second decade that make us pine for those halcyon off-the wall days; be sure to list the crazy '90s MTV moments that are burned into your memory in the comments!

What do women want? Perhaps Don Juan knows, or Simone de Beauvoir. Maybe Mel Gibson . In 2011, UK producer, vocalist, and dubstep artist James Blake gave an interview on the heels of the release of his genre-bending andcriticallyacclaimed eponymous debut LPin which he disparaged much of the dubstep throbbing around in America as a pissing contest, one which producers try to make the dirtiest, filthiest bass sound. Blake claims that this incarnation of dubstep (read Skrillex etc) is not going to appeal to women, and a direct misrepresentation of dubstep as a sound [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-17T12:23:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4897864/im-leaving-you-because-i-dont-love-you-a-conversation/

If Beck-era "Sea Change" was actually written by Kevin Devine while he was high as hell and listening to a lot of Fiona Apple, he may've been Danny Malone. The Austin singer-songwriter just dropped the video for new single "Spiderlegs," a '90s-inspired piece showing Danny in his element -a barn where he actually resides and hosts a lot of shows- with just about everything a man would ever need: women, drinks, drugs, and a guitar. The low-lit scenes of Danny and his arm candy cutting lines and sipping from the bottle, kissed with jerky stop-motion and blurred out shots [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-14T07:35:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4891147/the-11-best-bands-who-have-never-played-coachella/
There's something sadly thrilling about getting to sit in front of my computer and watch Coachells unfold before me without paying hundreds of dollars, enduring crazy temperatures, dust, dirt, and douche bags. Right now I'm flipping back and forth between New Order and Phoenix. I couldn't do that at the festival...I would have to choose...currently, I'm winning.

The other night I was trying to explain to an Aussie the premise of a U.S. dating show called Excused . Trying to. I'm not convinced that he understood a word I was saying. Maybe I was too distracted by the fact that we were on a date, too, but if at first you don't succeed... I'll try again. At the beginning of the first round, two men or two women -- the "judges," for lack of a better reality-show term -- must choose from several suitors of the opposite [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-05T13:03:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4872456/altas-y-bajas-en-el-cartel-del-primavera-sound-2013/
Traemos malas y buenas noticias para todos aquellos vayan a acercarse al Parc del Frum de Barcelona entre el 22 y el 26 de mayo . El cartel del Primavera Sound 2013 ha sufrido unas modificaciones inesperadas por causas ajenas a la organizacin y los asistentes se quedarn sin ver a Fiona Apple, Crime & The City Solution, Foxygen y Fidlar .

This year's Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona have announced a series of cancellations, as well as additions, for the May event. Among the cancellations are Fiona Apple "for reasons beyond the control of the organisers of the festival", along with Foxygen and FIDLAR who "will not be touring Europe" during the period. Meanwhile, Django Django [...]]]> text/html 2013-03-21T15:16:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4846477/the-most-distinctive-singing-voices-of-the-1990s/
We're big fans of Suede here at Flavorpill central, and as such we're delighted to report that their new album Bloodsports is better than we dared to hop for in fact, it's the best thing they've made since Coming Up , which is pretty impressive considering how utterly dry Brett Anderson's well of ideas seemed to have run on their last couple of albums. And best of all, Anderson still sounds great; his voice is rich as ever, and listening to the album got us thinking about what a distinctive vocalist he is. His was one [...]]]> text/html 2013-03-13T19:14:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4835495/hump-day-diversion-splash-back/

Not only does no one deliver relationship tumult on song like Fiona Apple, but no one does it so bitterly. Just when you though Fiona Apple has given you all she has with her fourth critically-acclaimed album, The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do , she rises again with a soundtrack inclusion. This track comes for This Is 40 - a movie about midlife crises in the 21st Century. The track is melodically stark and heavy laden [...]]]> text/html 2013-03-04T09:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4811998/preview-sxsw-2013-general-ticket-information-and-the-headliners/
South by Southwest 2013 is almost upon us (like next week!), and at TGTF towers we are honing our scoop sniffing skills, polishing our camera lenses and preparing ourselves for a glut of musical goodness. So who can you catch in Austin that you havent seen paraded in front of you on MTV and the BBC? Well, probably no-one, but Im going to point you in the direction of one of the shows I for one, would not be missing. (And best of all, it's absolutely free - along 2 other nights of outdoor music goodness.) [...]]]>
