![[Review/Listen] – Gillian Welch – "The Harrow & The Harvest"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3987243_lg.jpg)
Tweet Just when I'd given up on the female vocalists of the current decades, after I'd spent years decrying the unending slew of pop-infused, sickly, sexualized women musicians, I found Gillian Welch . Although Welch has been releasing albums since the late 90s, my first encounter with her old timey, smooth vocals and loved-and-left lyrics was on the album she released last summer, "The Harrow & The Harvest" . Welch is the horsewoman of modern music, wrangling her way into [...]
I'll never stop loving the beauty of a physical album; everything from the scent of a new vinyl, to the magic of reading the lyrics and seeing the images inside the insert, to the touch of the glossy, matte or recycled paper, and the most important factor - the cover art of the actual overall masterpiece. Here is some of the best album art of 2011. It's easy to see in all of these artists, that there was an actual thought to the structure of not only their music but how it visually sounds. Enjoy!

I guess I lose what little blogger cred that I have if I don't post an end-of-the-year "Best Of" list before 2012. I'm getting it in just under the wire. These are my favorite albums on this day, the 31st of December, in the year of our lord 2011, and it is subject to change whenever I feel like it. Seriously, it's been a great year for music, and it was really difficult for me to make this list. Feel free to heap praise on me or call me a pretentious overbearing wretch. [...]

2011 has turned out to be the year in music where I found myself resting, and drinking deeply. If you look at the three major music festivals I went to in 2011 (other than SXSW, which is always a debaucherous 1000-mph wonderful mess) they were all of the scenic, restorative type: camping at Sasquatch at Washington's Columbia River Gorge, Telluride Bluegrass where I pitched my tent right by a rushing river, and Doe Bay Fest on isolated Orcas Island in the San Juans. The ethos of these music festivals, more than anything, is a [...]

10. The Shivers – More More reads like a series of vignettes with a common theme of love. Or, more specifically, lost love. A musically diverse batch of songs that draws on soul, garage and a little electro-pop, but all with a gritty NYC edge. The Shivers - Irrational Love [...]

With Christmas out of the way, and the year almost over, it's time I finally get around to compiling my Top 20 albums of the year of 2011 (in fact, there are 21 entries). Each album is represented on the mix with a song, and each entry has a link to the artist's homepage or other outlet where the album can be ordered from. Because this list is intended not only to show off my impeccable taste, but also to showcase artists, all data files in the mix have been downscaled to 128kbps. This is not really a chart, but [...]
Here at Hidden Track, compiling our end of the year list of the 25 best albums has been eerily similar to the process of devising another top 25 list - the college football top 25. When we started four years ago, we attempted to devise a quantitative methodology that systematized the rankings and took the individual biases out of the equation, while still incorporating the collective views of everyone involved at HT. Well, that was sort of our BCS. This year we're going back to the old school and running it AP Top 25 style. In other words, every writer [...]
Welcome to FWBA's best-of 2011. This has been such a meaningful year in music to me that it's tough to represent in one post. I'm going to be honest, this took me quite a long time. I wanted to do this year justice because personally, it was a total dream: living in San Diego working with some of my favorite artists, going to SXSW and Lollapalooza, seeing Dave Bazan in stranger's living rooms, Feist play a hometown show, saw tune-yards electrified show at Soda Bar clocking in as one of my favorite performances, watching Zach Rogue and my boyfriend playing [...]
It's safe to say that a majority of our readers are quite familiar with the musical history of Port Chester, New York's Capitol Theatre . Built in 1926 and designed by the architect Thomas W. Lamb, who also designed the United Palace Theater in Upper Manhattan, the theater may be most famous for hosting the Grateful Dead an astonishing 18 times during an 11-month period, but also saw just about every major and influential music act grace its stage from Pink Floyd, Traffic, Joe Cocker and Janis Joplin (who played her next-to-last show there) in the early 19702s to [...]
This year's list of favorites is fairly sedate (even for me), with just a little ruckus here and there. Lots of morning-coffee music, which I guess says something about my 2011. But music's strength is its pliability. It can be whatever you need it to be at the moment, especially when we have instant access to virtually any song ever recorded, often for free . Judging by this list, I needed music to be a salve more than a release valve this year. I also never expected my favorite album to come from someone who held the [...]
Baltimore - Every couple of years, like slides in a powerpoint presentation, I like to change the backdrop. But I have always struggled with first years. By that I refer to my relationships with changes in scenery rather than with hormone-effervescing fresh-women (to be politically correct as George Carlin suggested). I am constantly, and embarrassingly, surprised each time how woefully unprepared I still am. Incidentally, 2011 has also been a tumultuous year on many fronts. So with everything concerned, I present to you my Pests vs. Bests of 2011 - both bad and good things that have been on my mind [...]
50 The year-end albums list is the greatest challenge any music publication faces. It is not only an effort to encapsulate an entire year's worth of music: it is an effort to convey the entire musical philosophy of a site in one rather gimmicky column. Of course, it is also a lot of fun. It allows the opportunity to go through our favorite music all over again; it provides for spirited debate between editors and staffers; and it is ultimately a lesson in compromise and inclusion. Which is, of course, precisely the philosophy of [...]

Good afternoon and thank you for reading. You have many choices to make for your web reading and I'm thankful that you chose to spend these next few minutes with me. Blah, blah, blah... I'm as big a fan of three guitar and a life of crime or the old sad songs as anyone around nine bullets but sometimes I need something a little different. Maybe it's a Sunday morning where I just don't want to get out of bed or a Tuesday evening when work has been too much and I'm exhausted and want [...]
Fue una noche importante la del martes en el programa de Jools Holland . Björk , Red Hot Chilly Peppers , Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds y Gillian Welch y David Rawlings compartieron escenario el martes por la noche en el programa inglés Later...with Jools Holland . A pesar del poco espacio, la cantante islandesa fue la que llevó el show más extravagante, como era de esperarse. Entre pianos que se tocan solos, un coro de niños acompañantes [...]
