Hey guys, it's been a while. I just got back from Salt Lake City, and it's good to be home... Kinda. Many hours were spent skiing, hot tubbing, N64ing, and generally chillaxing. Oh, and I saw Tokyo Police Club play a show in what was essentially a garage which was really neat. But more on that later, and I need to get a video from the gig from someone (which might take some time). Speaking of TPC, anyone who's in the know should be aware that Elephant Shell is now available for a pre-release on iTunes. If you're not an [...]
tracks have been piling up in the anyone's guess mailbox of late, which can only mean it's time for an inbox artists round-up. as always, here is the better of the songs and artists of which, in the past two months, i received word. the brakes - into the ground philadelphia band the brakes will release their debut lp tale of two cities in may. if "into the ground," a sure-footed and steady march (love that late rally of horns), is a measure then the album will be one on [...]

Freddie Stevenson is a Scottish afro'd punk poet who might remind you of a character from Fraggle Rock . It's not much of a coincidence considering his mother was the co-creator of the groundbreaking Jim Henson -helmed children's show. Some might think such a creative pedigree would give an aspiring musician a leg up. Luckily, Freddie doesn't need it. His upbeat, tongue-in-cheek, highly melodious and expertly played pop songs speak for themselves. Let's rewind a minute for perspective's sake. Not long after Freddie's debut album Body On The Line had been named a [...]

Even if it only consisted of those 4 folks, having Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson, Dave Matthews, and Lucinda Williams in my fan club would be enough to make me want to be a singer. But truth be told, Scotsman Freddie Stevenson has a truckload more than those A-listers. His near flawless songwriting is again the feature of his second full-length All My Strange Companions (out 4/15/08), and his ragged delivery provides a delicious edge to the melodic rush of the tunes. Preview the lead-off track " Easy Now ".

Stiind ca Stevenson provine dintr-o familie de artisti consacrati (mama- scenarista si producatoare de emisiuni pentru copiii, tatal- expert in ceramica decorativa) ma indoiesc c-a stat prea mult pe ganduri atunci cand a decis sa se apuce de muzica . Si din moment ce in prezent isi petrece timpul liber in compania lui Giorgio Armani sau a fostei doamne Manson, Dita Von Teese, iar printre fanii lui declarati se numara Starleta Johansson, Tom Hanks, Javier Bardem, Dave Matthews , Lucinda Williams sau Mike Scott de la The Waterboys, se cam [...]
Wednesday, February 20, 2008 Does this week feel kind of like it's just creeping along for anyone else? It really seems as if it should be Friday already. In any case, I have an EP. Enjoy. : Sisters - Gone Heal Everyone : "There's a party in my brain and it won't end." I realize that lyric is probably telling enough, but just for extra emphasis I'll go ahead and point out that this gem and its garage rock, retro-enthused sound is an absolute blast. [...]
