Friday's a little bit tamer than Thursday's schedule - there are eleven showcases to choose from instead of fifteen, but the festival makes up for it with the first of two official after parties at City Hall. Friday's after party is sponsored by Red Bull and features The Dynamites , and I'm pretty sure everyone's going to end up there at the end of the night. But before that, you've got your work cut out for you deciding what to see. The Cannery has a great lineup - including Kindercastle , Cortney [...]
Eugene Francis Jnr has the most confusing profile information I've read on an artist in quite a while. He is Welsh, but his parents were Apache and Inuit. People think he is American. He describes his blue eyes as "pulchritudinous". Backed by his bionic band the Juniors, Eugene Francis Jnr professes to discard effects and "21st century bunk" and play with a weak voice with a strong passion, the latter I don't doubt, but the man's sonics are akin to The Flaming Lips, with a distinct electronic psychedelic edge. Not that there's anything wrong with that. In fact, [...]

Again, it's been a little while since my last post. Now that finals and papers are all done I can finally devote my attention to what has been garnering a great deal of attention all around the blog-o-sphere, year end best of lists. 29. New Young Pony Club - Fantastic Playroom Sales of ice cream in the U.K. were in record numbers this summer due to the sweet dance/pop of New Young Pony Club. OK, so maybe I have no idea about the sales of ice cream products in the [...]
The creative debut from Birmingham native Greg Summerlin, All Done in Good Time , is a diverse collection of inspiring songs that conjures up thoughts of The Long Winters (both in vocals and in the music itself) with higher seratonin levels. The album is lovingly adorned with catchy pop hooks and adoring vocals. With its numerous rousing pop-choir-backed choruses, All Done in Good Time seems less like a personal diary and more like Summerlin's personal affirmation that there is indeed good in this world. It isn't that he is overly optimistic or-heaven forbid-'cutesy', but it is just [...]
Greg Summerlin- some people like that solo-man stuff. I do sometimes, like when the solo-man takes the time to make a good record. Summerlin sings with wisdom and plays in harmony with rock, pop, and positive action. His album, All Done in Good Time: The Life and Times of Polly Shields , is full of songs that speak of past injury and regret, but don't dwell on it. Sure, "The Darkened World" does stay dark, but listen to the background guitar and the peppy cymbal smashing- it's a feel-good song about the world being rough. Not since the eels' [...]
It's Thanksgiving, so that means I am going to do a little extra today by posting my radio show track by track, including my custom little promotional advertisements, which I enjoy way too much. Keep an ear out for next week, there's going to be even more ridiculous promos, which are my favorite thing ever right now.

Time for another round of mp3s that have been sent to (Okay, not me but muruch) by various bands, labels, and pr people. Some are good, the rest aren't really my taste but others may like them. If so, buy the albums at Amazon , CDBaby , Insound , or the band's websites. Condor Moments - Lord Protector Milk Collector [...]
Aaron Stout: This emerging 27-year-old reveals vivid images of travel, heartbreak and spirituality in whatever he's working on. All of this, encrypted with brooding layers and ethereal sounds, further the listener's experience. "The Coronation" "Fountain of Youth" Cannonball Jane: "Cannonball Jane is the coolest one woman band I've heard in a long time. This is what Carole King would sound like if she had a sampler and was really into Francoise Hardy. I love her recordings and can't wait for more!" – Kathleen Hanna [...]
Bij Superphonic Records is het album All Done in Good Time van Greg Summerlin verschenen. Summerlin komt uit Birmingham, Alabama en maakte in de jaren negentig deel uit van de alt-countryband The Quinsonics. Hij heeft zich voor zijn nieuwste cd laten inspireren door het legendarische album Tommy van The Who . Centraal op All Done in Good Time staat een gefrustreerd, gedesillusioneerd meisje dat in opstand komt tegen haar vader. MP3: Greg Summerlin - Unlucky in Love G reg Summerlin op MySpace [...]

Top New Releases: [LOCAL] Division Day : Beartrap Island (Eenie Meenie) – This is the new and improved version of Division Day's Beartrap Island. Some of the local readers probably have the original limited release, but it's been remastered and two tracks have been added. The band plays propulsive, keyboard upfront music that's still firmly rooted in guitar rock 'n' roll. This was on my top 10 list of local acts last year.

Starting tomorrow, KEXP is broadcasting from Chicago - tune in! photo by Allie Pasquier Another batch of worthwhile releases comes your way this week, and while there are very few breath-holders on the list, there are quite a few albums that you'll want to add to your ever-growing library. Topping the list for many music fans is Bruce Springsteen's return to E Street form with Magic . Siouxsie Sioux, who goes by just Siouxsie on her true solo debut, Mantaray , is sure to draw aging goths to the record [...]

Það er fátt betra á sunnudegi en sólskinsskotið gleðipopp af bestu gerð. Greg Summerlin flytur afar límkennt krúttpopp sem fær mann til að valhoppa um og tjútta án þess að maður hafi nokkuð um það að segja. Þótt tónlistin sé vissulega upplífgandi eru textar Summerlin uppfullir af sorg og tragidíu sem byggja á persónulegri reynslu hans. Þessi þversagnakennda blanda er svosem ekki nýlunda í poppheimum en Summerlin tekst þó að bera hana fram á talsvert eftirminnanlegri hátt en margir aðrir. Brosum í gegnum tárin og hlustum á þessa gleðitóna: [MP3] Greg [...]
Update: Eine handverlesene und deliziöse Spezies von Bloggern aus dem In- und Ausland hat Post bekommen und schickt bereits fleissig Musik. Bald gibt es hier also den Sampler (Mixtape klingt irgendwie Retro...) des guten Geschmacks – zum Hören und Laden. Das Wahre, das Gute. Ich informiere weiter.

Greg Summerlin is once again behind the microphone for his most epic and poignant album to date, All Done In Good Time . Unafraid to wrestle with his own inspirations, Summerlin uses personal tragedy and triumph to unite four characters in a fluid symphonic melodrama. Summerlin joined producer Ed Ackerson (Replacements, Golden Smog, Brian Setzer, Juliana Hatfield) in a cozy Minneapolis studio to record the album, and together, with grandiose Who-like execution, Summerlin and Ackerson triumphed in delivering a sincere record with songs to hook you into a sing along or embrace you in an epic tale.
