On the ground this morning was a dusting of snow. I even hesitate to use dusting to describe that snow, but I don't know a smaller word for the amount on the ground. When I went to get the papers, the air reminded me of early spring when the mornings are chilly but hint of a warmer day. It is only 39° now but it is supposed to be in the mid-402s later. I know this is only February, and I know spring is a long way off, but I can't help but think of spring on a day like [...]
Traams Chichester three-piece Traams lay down crispy, Television-esque riffs topped by raggedly melodic, yelpy vocals that may or may not belong to frontman of dance-punk outfit The Rapture. And? Traams - Flowers
Today is a balmy 27°. Last night went into single digits, but I'm not complaining. This has been too warm a winter to warrant any complaints. Not only that but it's already mid-January, and we haven't had any snow. I guess my sled will stay in the cellar for a while longer. I crave color. The world is just so drab after Christmas. Dead leaves hang on the branches, and the tall brown trunks of pine trees stand silhouetted against a muted blue sky. Here and there people still have Christmas lights lit every night, and I appreciate [...]

The Killers volverá con nuevo disco de estudio este mismo año. Así lo ha confirmado su vocalista, Brandon Flowers , en una entrevista para BBC Radio . Al parecer, la duda ahora está en si se publicará en invierno o en verano. Como sabéis, a principios de 2010 la formación decidió tomarse un respiro. Desde entonces, los chicos de la banda han estado dedicándose a proyectos en solitario. De todos ellos, es Dave Keuning el único que no ha publicado material por su cuenta. Los demás prefirieron probar cosas nuevas y, un tiempo después, todos [...]
Brandon Flowers , líder de The Killers confirmó en una entrevista radial con BBC 1 que "definitivamente" habrá un disco nuevo en el 2012. El que será el cuarto álbum de The Killers todavía no tiene nombre. Tampoco se sabe bien cuándo va a salir, si en el verno o el invierno boreal. Lo que sí sabemos es que ha sido confirmado que será en el 2012. En la entrevista, Flowers habló acerca de los títulos y estilos [...]
The sound of the pouring rain woke me up this morning, but it was a quick downpour which had stopped by the time I went to get the papers. The day is mild, in the 502s, despite the missing sun and the dampness. Gracie and I have a dump run later. Another year ending. They go quickly now, but this last year I'll remember. It was a favorite. I finally fulfilled my promise of getting back to Ghana and what a joy that was. I remember being 20 minutes away from landing and getting butterflies. It had been [...]
Earlier this month, I made a few alternative suggestions to more traditional Christmas music. What I failed to mention was my personal tradition. You see, ever since I heard A Portable Model Of by Joan Of Arc back in the late 90s, I've consistently spent every year listening to Joan Of Arc on Christmas. I guess I was already pretty eager to move on from standard Christmas music even back then and even a fleeting mention of Christmas on a couple of songs was a good enough reason for me to not to listen [...]
I've been waiting for this for years and finally, Christmas come early. Blu and Exile recorded this album in 2009 and have decided to release it now, unmixed and unmastered. This album has that rich and soulful Below The Heavens feel, with Exile's impeccable production and dope samples combined with Blu's bouncy, raw delivery and phrasing, and rhymes for days. Stream below or support at Bandcamp . give me my flowers while i can smell them by exile & blu
What a DOPE surprise...this weekend just got soooo much better....the good folks at OkayPlayer got the premier earlier today on this overdue gem. " Give Me My Flowers While I Can Smell Them " is the official new release by the dynamic duo " Blu & Exile ". An album recorded back in 2009, but released only now. Not sure what is the reason behind the 2 year delay, but it don't matter...is Blu & Exile...probably the best hiphop Producer & MC double punch to grace our hears, since Pete Rock and CL Smooth. (in my humble opinion of course) [...]

This experimental Norwegian trio have taken a decent stab at the drone genre, generally opting for an askew folk/jazz aesthetic rather than the subsonic metal rumblings that often accompany the style. Its opening title track gives the impression that this could be a contemporary soundtrack to "The wicker man" , which is down to the unison of Kongsberg-native Hanne Hukkelberg 's eerie vocals and the uneasy nature of the music itself. The second of the recording's two major pieces, "Ear/eye connector" , really needs to pull something strong out of the bag and, while it's a great [...]
Watch the new video from High Highs for their track Flowers Bloom ...both video and song are dreamy and beautiful...or as I wrote some (10!) months ago: " Imagine lying comfortably on your back on a carpet of soft green grass gazing at the clouds drifting by while listening to this "... High Highs - Flowers Bloom from Video Marsh on [...]

The one and only Elton John has had a flower named after him at an "Orchid Conference" in Singapore. The singer, who is a big flower fan, flew out to the country to be honored with the Doritaenopsis Sir Elton John at the 20th World Orchid Conference. "Sir Elton follows in the footsteps of his late pal Diana, Princess of Wales, actor Jackie Chan and former South African leader Nelson Mandela, who have all had blooms named after them at the event." Click below to see the flower. [...]
This morning was warm, sunny and quiet when I left for breakfast. When I got home, my yardmen were just finishing clearing the pine needles from the front lawn and the oak leaves from the deck and driveway. I could see grass and pavement for the first time in a long while; however, soon after the men left, the wind started again, and the pine needled have begun reclaiming the lawn. Now the clouds have rolled in and the sun has disappeared. The day is much like yesterday, drab. While I was talking to my sister, I watched [...]
High Highs - Flowers Bloom from Video Marsh on Vimeo . Orange: a really nice color. (via Yours Truly )
Amazing vocals, contagious beat and a mischevious set full of fun and enjoyment. It's easy to see why I left their recent gig with a childish grin and Josh's evocative lyrics echoing on the outskirts of my thoughts. Josh Flowers & The Wild clearly love what they do, and they aren't the only ones. Playing for the first time with a full band, Josh Flowers & The Wild had the crowd at Notting Hill Arts Club in a folk indused frenzy. The band have been together since late 2010 and have [...]
