esto no pretende ser una lista de "lo mejor de 2011". necesitaría tres vidas para escuchar todo lo que se ha publicado este año, así que seguro me pierdo auténticas joyas. son cincuenta canciones presentadas en orden alfabético, escogidas de entre las que más me han gustado este año y que, como ocurre con las del resto del blog, están disponibles en la red en descarga legal y gratuita. pueden bajarse individualmente, pero yo recomiendo pillar las dos carpetas y escucharlas del tirón. ojalá las disfrutéis [...]

I literally despise the genre categorization "Adult Alternative" or "Adult Contemporary" used by many radios and music sites to describe artists I love like R.E.M. or Kristin Hersch - isn't that the least exciting thing you can say about music, that it's for adults ? Besides, when I say "Adult Contemporary" I can only think about ONE artist: The Dave Matthew's Band. It should be a one band genre, in some kind of borderline insulting way. This being said, we can all agree that orchestral pop is one of the most sophisticated genres in the pop and [...]
Every day, Daily Downloads offers 10 free and legal mp3 downloads, plus free and legal live sets from around the internet. A couple of years ago I named Girls in Trouble's debut self-titled release one of my favorite albums of 2009 . I find myself often going back to that record and marveling at the storytelling skills of Alicia Jo Rabins . Girls in Trouble's second album, Half You Half Me , is released on May 17th, another [...]
Girls in Trouble (the band) is the alter ego of Alicia Jo Rabins, who released Girls in Trouble (the album) in November of last year. After I gave this a couple of listens, I decided to find out just who Girls in Trouble were, and as it turns out there is basically nothing out there on this rather excellent and promising debut record, which is a shame because top to bottom, this album is a real pleasure and very well crafted. Hit the jump for the full review and sample MP3s. This [...]

MICACHU AND THE SHAPES JEWELLERY (Rough Trade) by Alicia Jo Rabins of Girls in Trouble Brilliant, quirky and carefully arranged songs that sound (to me) like scotch-taping a crappy pickup to a classically trained brain: a weird offbeat dance party with an edge that makes me happy every time I listen to it.
A conversation between Rabins and Bazan about faith and art and the intersection of the two.
Former vocalist/guitarist for the Close returns with a dark, Southern gothic drawl
Brooklyn-based group Girls In Trouble released their Scott Solter-produced (Spoon, Okkervil River) self-titled debut album last month. Now they are about to head out on tour and are giving us this little video nugget to get us motivated. Check out the performance of "Snow/Scorpions and Spiders": Girls In Trouble's Myspace
Alicia Jo Rabins (a.k.a. Girls In Trouble) writes indie-folk songs that tell the tales of women found in the bible. A classically trained violinist, Rabins moved to Jerusalem for two years to study ancient Jewish texts before relocating to Brooklyn to write and record Girls In Trouble's self-titled debut (out last month on the JDub [...]
We posted a live video from Girls in Trouble a while ago, and now there's another one above. If this isn't quite enough to satisfy you, the band are heading out for a few shows in December. Check out all the dates after the jump. Girls in Trouble tour dates: 12/2 @ Cyclops - Baltimore, MD 12/3 @ House Party - Washington, DC 12/4 @ Leo Gaev Metalworks - Carrboro, NC 12/5 @ Highland Ballroom - Atlanta, GA 12/6 @ Posana - Ashville, NC 12/12 @ Contemporary Jewish Museum - [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , New Music It may have been a benefit for upstart publishing company Julius Singer Press, but Wednesday night's show at Public Assembly in Brooklyn, N.Y. centered on just one book: the Bible, which is the basis for every song by headliner Girls in Trouble . Founded by singer, violinist, songwriter and Torah scholar Alicia Jo Rabins, Girls in Trouble is a high-concept group whose songs chronicle the hardships faced by obscure female Bible characters. The Public Assembly gig marked the [...]
This week Drake gets nostalgic with a couple of releases from hometown heroes Nirvana , and dismisses the Oscar Wilde inspired solo project from Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas . (I guess all that sunshine isn't inspiring him to do his best work.) -ed. Drake's Take: New Releases 11.03.09 We've officially moved into the gift-oriented release schedule, filled with deluxe reissues, box sets and other compilation/soundtracks to help (trick?) the average schmo get a gift for the music lover in their life.

We've officially moved into the gift-oriented release schedule, filled with deluxe reissues, box sets and other compilation/soundtracks to help (trick?) the average schmo get a gift for the music lover in their life. There's a couple gift choices from the archives of Nirvana, soundtracks from Fantastic Mr Fox , Glee , NCIS and Aqua Teen Hunger Force -- which is actually a X-mas album, and my fave of the bunch. Of the few new releases, there's ones from Julian Casablancas, Weezer, Molina & Johnson and Girls in Trouble. Playlist: [...]
Sure, the looping thing has been done before by the likes of Howie Day, Theresa Andersson, and The Purple Organ, but watching videos or live performances of this sort of thing is still very, very cool. In this case Girls in Trouble is looping her violin in many wonderful ways. I sort of wished she picked up that upright bass next to her at point, but we can always dream. Also, for those interested in actually seeing this live, Girls in Trouble will be playing a record release show at Public Assembly in Brooklyn on November 11.
If you've been keeping up with my Twitter feed , you may have noticed that I've been incredibly busy as of late. I just can't seem to catch a break with finding time to blog now that I currently work two jobs. Of course, those who have been keeping up have come to expect lengthy periods of inactiveness, at least on my part. Mentioning any kind of worthwhile albums from the past three weeks is just a meaningless task, as you can just take a peek below to see the excellent amount of releases at [...]
Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive Girls in Trouble didn't exactly start the way most musical projects do. Instead, it began as Alicia Jo Rabins' thesis for a Masters in Jewish Woman's Studies. At a professor's suggestion, the singer-songwriter wrote her thesis on lesser-known female characters from the Bible as songs rather than an essay. In the end, Rabins got her degree -- and a record deal. Naming the project "Girls in Trouble," her self-titled debut will drop on October 27 via JDub Records. [...]
