The baubles in question would be twofold: Firstly, the Song, by Toad readers are awarding their own baubles for the year's musical endeavours, both in terms of anointing their song and their album of the year. And secondly, the very second I post this I am heading up into town to Kid Canaveral's Christmas Baubles, their second of what I assume will become an annual Christmas knees-up, this time hosted at Edinburgh's rather amazing Summerhall. This week on Song, by Toad I will be publishing my own top twenty albums of the year, and [...]
Eyes closed, head slightly bowed, hands clasped, Bob Mould stood silently for better than a minute at the conclusion of Monday night's tribute concert at Disney Hall, letting the crowd's warm ovation wash over him. The 51-year-old singer, guitarist and author had to be thinking something along the lines of: What a long, strange trip it's been. Punk hero in the 1980s. Radio guitar god in the 1990s. Closeted gay man for most of both. Respected solo artist. Dabbler in electronica. Scriptwriter for professional wrestling (fer chrissakes) after that. And now, enjoying a career [...]
Groupies, this laugh is on you. Margaret Cho's video for "Baby I'm With the Band" (from her comedy music album "Cho Dependent") was made at this year's Bonnaroo, where she romped with rock luminaries too numerous to mention. (Check out the look on Brendan Benson's face at 1:15.) It's posted here not just because we need a Friday morning chuckle, but because Cho, along with singer-songwriter Grant-Lee Phillips, is co-emceeing a big benefit show on Sunday at Largo. "A Concert to Benefit School Music Revival," hosted by the Section Quartet , will raise funds for [...]

The week leading up to Yom Kippur, The Jewish Day of Atonement, is supposed to be a time for self-reflection, culminating in repentance and a plea for pardon. And though I no longer fast, or belong to a temple, in the last few years, I have continued to use the opportunity as a chance to take stock of the soul, wandering into the woods or just taking a few hours on the front porch alone to make peace with the world both inside and out. This year, it doesn't take much soul-searching to [...]
The blogs are buzzing with yesterday's announcement, via a terse yet sincere statement on their website , that Athens, GA hometown heroes R.E.M. are calling it quits after three decades on the road, the radio, and the cultural consciousness. We first covered the genre-defining band back in 2009, so rather than rehash their path from college radio to iconic mainstream success, we're taking the opportunity to revisit that older post today in memoriam - with a couple of bonus covers of Losing My Religion , from more recent CLD faves Amber Rubarth [...]
I Author My Own Disaster, Volume Three, Part One ( via ) Download : Grant Lee Phillips - Always Friends Buy the Album: Grant Lee Phillips - Virginia Creeper
evening! im gonna sound like a broken record here, which is nothing new for me, but if for some reason you have not bothered to check out any of grant lee buffalo's catalogue, you are doing yourself a huge disservice. as the kids would say, for reals. granted im partial to mighty joe moon - which clocked in at number 8 in my all time top 50, but really all their records are worthy of your attention, money, or bandwidth. they have their 30 song "best of and rarities" record storm hymnal for a measly 11 bucks on [...]

If Pavement 's reunion has got you tuckered out from '90s nostalgia, here's another shot in the arm to remind you of the wonders of the era of alternative music and wardrobes filled with flannel. Reuniting for the first time since breaking up in 1999, Grant Lee Buffalo , those heralds of Americana music, are set to play a select number of dates in early 2011. According to BrooklynVegan , the trio, comprised of singer/guitarist Grant Lee Phillips , bassist/producer Paul Kimble, and drummer Joey Peter, will play shows on both sides of [...]
You can count on Jim O'rourke to keep surprising the world with another fantastic, well written and produced album. Even with his most experimental stuff, he always knew to find his own unique voice, let alone with his 'songs' albums like the brilliant 1999 Eureka. But it looks like that the anticipation from every new O'rourke [...]
Eighties born kids, who were exposed to the radio in the nineties - you will know the song Fuzzy from miles away, and the voice will be totally familiar to you. That's because there was a time where you couldn't escape Grant Lee Buffalos' tune even if you turn off all communication methods - someone, in [...]
Those who pay attention to the exploits of comedy queen Margaret Cho know how serious she is about her love of music, indie music in particular. (Not to brag or anything, but she did in fact take a turn behind the decks for a guest DJ set at a LimeWire CMJ shindig . Just sayin'.) And at this point in her career, having already scaled the mountaintop in terms of stand-up comedy renown, Cho has decided to bring her musical tastes and her comedic gift together on her new album. Cho Dependent , [...]
well, hello again. firstly, i redesigned the ol site. it had been a couple years and figured a new coat of paint was in order. hopefully its to everyone's liking. secondly, here is a grant lee buffalo live promo cd that i just recently found. it was put out in 1993 and is entitled buffalondon, which would lead me to believe these live tracks were recorded in london, sometime. you can find it for sale, but why pay for a promo and some folks are charging upwards of fifty bucks for it. 1. the shining hour [...]

What is it with musicians popping up on comedy albums? A year ago we had Julian Casablancas, Norah Jones, and T-Pain singing about boomboxes, Chex Mix, and boats with The Lonely Island. More recently, Dave Sitek announced a mixtape with Aziz Ansari. Now Margaret Cho enters the musical-comedy arena with her upcoming album Cho Dependent . The lineup boasts indie stars like Tegan and Sara, Andrew Bird, and Fiona Apple singing songs about body parts and bodily functions. While the songs they appear on seem relatively innocuous, other track titles include "Your Dick", [...]
Odotettu uutinen: 90-luvun yhden arvostetuimman yhtyeen Grant Lee Buffalon keulakuva, laulaja-lauluntekijä Grant-Lee Phillips saapuu sooloyhtyeineen Tavastialle keskiviikkona 17. marraskuuta. Ainoa aikaisempi Suomen vierailu taitaa sijoittua vuoden 1996 Ruisrockiin , jossa Grant Lee Buffalo sai soittaa alkuillasta suhteellisen harvalle yleisölle? Soolona Grant-Leen musiikin ytimeksi muodostuneet humaanit sanoitukset, uniikki huumori ja tunnelma ovat muuttuneet suurilta stadioneilta intiimeille klubeille ominaisemmaksi. Grant-Lee Phillipsin ääntä ja taidokasta 12-kielisen kitaran käsittelyä on usein verrattu Neil Youngin, Bruce Springsteenin ja Bob Dylanin kaltaisiin legendoihin. Phillips on tullut tutuksi suuremmalle yleisölle 2000-luvun puolella myös tv:n hittisarjasta Gilmoren tytöt, jossa Phillips esiintyi [...]
