Breve post per aggiornarvi sui miei stronzeggiamenti settimanali. La salute c'è (detto ciò domani morirò tra atroci sofferenze), a lavorà se lavora (forse forse una persona con cui collaboro ha agganciato un cliente grosso, quindi incrociamo le dita), il mio sito profescioAnal - come direbbe Mr. Superfuffa - si aggiorna automaticamente ogni 5 minuti per cazzi suoi e la vita mi sorride. Cioè anche no, ma sinceramente in questi giorni non posso proprio lamentarmi. Ho saputo che Erol Alkan suonerà al Brancaleone il 22 [...]
Greg Laswell has been getting several heads up from his critics and of course fans for a long time now. Usually I would like to juggle an artist a few times because frankly you cannot trust alone the world wide web. But if there's anything else, he had proven himself to be worthy of all those critical acclaims and praises and had completely risen from cliches as well. Greg Laswell The mezmerizing soundscapes create a dazzling embrace, resulting in a lush tapestry that entwines music, mood and emotion. That finds [...]
I love Izzie. A lot. It's not the easiest thing in the world to do you know, to confront someone that you KNOW is going to be an asshole to you and show them genuine care and affection even though they're nowhere NEAR deserving it. Nope, not easy at all. I liked last night's episode for a lot of reasons but that scene between her and Alex really got me. Katherine Heigl is pretty much the
From the Album 'Three Flights From Alto Nido' YOUTUBE REVIEWS: "elijah wood is hot haha." -dreesy92 "His dad told me he goes to Target for all his suitcoats." -ntenufsun "great song =) reminds me of when MTV music videos had meaning..." -earthwisard2 Gettin' his fix - Tabloid Junkie.
Say what you will about singer-songwriter-multi-instru mentalist Greg Laswell, his rise from indie darling to superstar is nearly complete. Laswell's latest album Three Flights From Alto Nido has landed him - among other places - on the Billboard charts, on TV series ( 90210 , True Blood , Grey's Anatomy are the newest among a host of others), many critics best-of lists, and now on a co-headlining tour of the U.S. with Jenny Owen Youngs. Starting on November 3rd at Hotel Café in Los Angeles, this jaunt will follow recent tours with [...]
First thing I want to say about this video: for a guy that once played a hobbit, Elijah Wood sure is funny. Second thing: I cannot get enough of the opening shot in this video. Its not all that original, but it just sets the tone and feel of the video so effectively. Finally: Does anyone know who that 3rd fellow is? I am too lazy to do the research... Greg Laswell - How the Day Sounds Ears=bleeding.
Sometimes, when I hear something beautiful, my ears stop working and I'm unable to hear anything else. Today, that something comes from Greg Laswell , and from my friend Billy over at The World Forgot . It's called Comes and Goes (In Waves) and it's the kind of song that physically forces you to put your life on hold as you let Laswell's voice swing heavy like a huge, leafy branch of a redwood around your room for a few minutes. It's seemingly more trepidation than anything else, like the quivering and shaking needed after a [...]
Gossip Girl Music trumps 90210 's music for 3 weeks straight. I know the second season of Chuck has officially started - but I don't think I'll include it in the Music Showdown. So far, Chuck seems to be having some strange, twisted love affair with Huey Lewis - something I'm not really sure I approve of. Though Chuck is an excellent show; it's witty and pretty action packed. I recommend it to everyone. But now on to Gossip Girl ! Everyone who watches knows how essential music is to [...]
A few months back Greg Laswell impressed me with his cover of Cyndi Lauper's classic Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. At that time he had just come out with an EP and was dutifully slaving away on creating his latest album, Three Flights from Alto Nido ( amazon ) ( itunes ), which was quite awesomely sent out to me a few weeks after writing that first post. Here is the part of this post where I try to make up a clever reason why I haven't posted about this album in such a long time, [...]
The critically acclaimed, clean-shaven, San Diegoan Greg Laswell has woken from his sleepy coastal disposition and released a dazzling sophomore album. Admittedly, I was rather underwhelmed by his debut Through Toledo , despite the attention it was given. So you may understand why I was hesitant to even pick up Laswell's new album. But I'm a man who gives second chances, and I'm glad I gave Laswell one. In Spanish, alto nido means "high nest". As I was listening to this spectacular album, I kept thinking about this phrase. What does it mean be three [...]
Despite being a self-proclaimed last minute addition to the bill, Greg Laswell held the World Café Live dinner crowd rapt with the somber yet beautiful songs that have come to represent him. His demeanor wasn't all serious, though. Sitting at the piano, Laswell announced he would play a cover song and launched into Richard Marx's "Right [...]
This week we're celebrating our 300th post! Considering 75% of all blogs don't make it past 3 months (we had 85 posts back then), we think this is a pretty big acomplishment to be where we're at - 300 posts in nine months (that's a little more than a post a day if you're doing the math). For this small milestone, we compiled the list of ear-catching songs below. This is no ordinary list. Many of the songs below come from groups we've been following for quite some time and a few [...]
TV On The Radio I'm jumping on the poseur bandwagon and I'm not afraid to admit it. TV On The Radio's new album Dear Science out 9/23 (pre-order) could possibly save this shitty year in music. TVOTR has always puzzled me. I could hear their greatness, but I could never completely get into them. I've heard 6 of the new songs and I'm blown away. Each song has its own unique sound. There are elements of Afro-Funk, Sonic Disco, Electronica, infused with hardcore bass, tribal drums and pop melodies. I [...]
Tonight, at Barnes & Noble Union Square, Carpetbagger blogger and famous ex-drug addict David Carr hawks his latest autobiographical tome, Night of The Gun , along with San Diego musician Greg Laswell (who should not be confused with the avant-garde New York musician, Bill Laswell ). More Greg Laswell tour dates after the jump. Greg Laswell Tour Dates [...]

Santogold - "Les Artistes" [...]
A friend contacted me the other day wondering if I knew anything about the latest from Greg Laswell. Turns out that this past July 8th, Greg Laswell released his most recent album, Three Flights from Alto Nido. Laswell was once described to me as "like Coldplay, but without the pretentiousness," and that is something I still find true today. I also think that he sounds what Coldplay could've
Well, it's official. I've now completely lost track of where I'm finding new music. I recently got my hands on the album "Three Flights From Alto Nido" by Greg Laswell. But I have no idea how I came across him. Racking my brains, I can't tell if it was off a television programme (Grey's Anatomy? Scrubs?), a film (any number of the, ahem, teen comedies/dramas I've found myself watching/playing in the background/trying to ignore lately), or a website review. Not too much to saw on this one. Greg [...]
Anyone else having a really busy Friday at work today? Yeah, high five on that. Just a few more hours though and we can get to the fun stuff... Greg Laswell celebrates the release of his new album Three Flights from Alto Nido tonight at the Hotel Cafe. Elsewhere, I See Hawks in L.A. and The Chapin Sisters at McCabe's. Money Mark at California Plaza. Brother Reade opens for Dan Deacon at The
Apologies for the lack of updates. My work schedule is crazier than Whitney Houston's crack cocaine problem used to be, and for this, I have an interesting graph. Today, I had the fantastic privilege of being waited on by someone with Turrets. While this doesn't seem like it would be an eye opening experience, it was . Not only did I learn that Turrets is nothing to joke about, I learned that in some ways, I've been needing to scream some things out myself. So [...]
