There is no voice in the folk world today that has purer beauty of singer-songwriter ANE BRUN. Adding to the impacted of her vocals is poetic nature of her The post Ane Brun - Songs 2003-2013 appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .]]> text/html 2013-06-14T17:40:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/5006304/the-modern-dad-rock-mix/
"Dad Rock" started as a snarky label that music snobs & critics lobbed at aging classic rock-influenced bands like Wilco and The National . Maybe because it's Fathers' Day weekend or because I will be a new dad next month (if due dates hold true), but I'm joining Jeff Tweedy in embracing the once-derogatory term. So here's a mix of some modern dad rock, all from the last three years and all of which I happen to love. Download the entire mix here .

Believe it or not, Mad Mackerel has been around for more than five years now. During that time weve posted more than 4,000 times, and offered more than 5,000 songs for your listening pleasure. And more than three quarters of a million people have paid MM a visit during our lifetime on Googles (godawful) blogspot and since April 2010 on WordPress. We asked some of the regular MM contributors to give us their top twenty songs since MM first went live and were also going to give you one big mega-listing shortly, first up was Dr Roddy , [...]]]> text/html 2013-06-03T21:56:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4985437/lily-and-madeleine-wise-beyond-their-years/
It's been barely half a year since sisters Lily & Madeleine Jurkiewicz released their first single "In The Middle" unofficially on YouTube. The duo had spent their whole lives, 15 and 18 years, around music- making it, listening to it, and playing it together- but had never considered writing originals in partnership until just this year. It appears in doing so they unlocked a hidden treasure and as fate would have it, just months before elder Madeleine leaves for college, the girls are now indie sensations. As of today, the homemade video for "In The Middle" has 273,634 views [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-17T21:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4957217/reviewlisten-angel-olsen-half-way-home/
Angel Olsen 's Half Way Home is being released on CD, which is just as well as it deserves to be out there and as accessible as possible. Astonishing critics upon its release last year, her second release on Bathetic Records was a bolt from the blue. From the album's opening track, "Acrobat," Olsen simultaneously announces and differentiates herself in an industry where heads all around were scratched as people sought to place her. New Kate Bush ? No, not nearly as whimsical. [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-25T13:55:22+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4914549/festival-news-hop-farm/

With the volume of tweets that ?uestlove sends out on a daily basis, it's not surprising to find out that he has channeled some that energy into something that can be consumed at more then 140 characters at a time as yesterday it was announced that he will be publishing his memoirs this spring.

J'ai Oubli Mon Coeur, roughly translated from the French, means "I Forgot About My Heart." This is a Dark Valentine's Day playlist for the solitary types. I've never been a fan of playlists as a random collection of songs, sothink of this list as a journey. Here we are exploring the dynamic of thinking you're made of stone, but really, love shoots and shatters through your glass insides like a pinball made of steel.

The Grammy Awards are presented tomorrow, and in light of that I thought I would do my own personal Grammy awards. Honestly, the real Grammy's have become a joke, it's a popularity contest more than giving awards to quality music.

Well, it took a bit longer than expected (losing your job in November and having a baby in January will disrupt the blog-writing process a bit), but Given and Taken in Ink's list for best albums of 2012 is finally here. This year, a handful of bands came out of nowhere and blew me away. I knew right away that debut albums from Drew Smith and The Rest would stand among the best releases of the year. They are joined by 28 other great albums, by artists well-known and obscure. I'm pleased that GTI's 2012 list is a [...]]]>
