We resume our reposts of the Blogophilia series this week with volumes 8 and 8.5. Why 8 and 8.5? Well, I mixed these at the same time, and the tracks came from the same collection of songs I reviewed. Calling one 8 and the other 9 didn't feel right. We've also had a 12.5, and recently a 26.5 for the same reason. Like volume 7, these two mixes really capture the summer spirit. Volume 8.5 has a throw in from an "oldie but goodie." Enjoy... Blogophilia Volume 8 [...]

Ah nothing like an exotic bread. I mean, Bavarian fruit bread may sound somewhat exciting but it's not even half as exciting as some of the bread I love to eat for breakfast. What kind? Well, there's the Arizonian jackalope butt bun. Oh oh and of course the Dagobah Yoda dentures bread. The last one has a real zing to it. Makes me want to speak in passive voice. Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions - Bavarian Fruit Bread (from Bavarian Fruit Bread )
You know the drill by now on how this works. This week, I picked the word "warm" because it's that miserable time of year where the temperatures are starting to consistently hold above freezing (at least during the day) but the threat of another winter blast is still looming, ready to strike at any moment. So, I thought I would try to do my part to will Spring to arrive by channeling warm thoughts/sounds. Let's start out with a newish tune from Warm Ghost. I remember hearing about Warm Ghost, once a solo project by [...]

Toutes les souperbes photos sont de sarafossette , en cliquant dessus, on atterrit sur son flickr ... Merci à elle! _ _ _ Lors de cette route du rock 2010, à part Thus:Owl , Little Wed Lauter , Lonesome French Cowboy et Hope Sandoval , j'ai tout vu...

Bonjour, bienvenue dans l'édition 2010 des jeux du mercredi malouins comme un singe... Les réponses sont tous des noms de groupes/artistes qui passent à la Route du Rock ce weekend... Parfois, c'est tiré par les cheveux... Parfois, y a des lettres qui sont pas exactement les mêmes que dans le mot... Néanmoins, We Hope Sandoval que ce sera trouvable quand même... _ _ _ DEVINETTES énigmatiques (bon courage) je pourrais être un super nom de [...]

Cette XXème édition de la Route du Rock malouine commencera pour nous l'aprem' du vendredi 13 août, sur la plage de l'éventail. Lors du légendaire tournoi de foutchebaulle de la R d R , la ww2w soccer (et sans reproche) team tentera de faire honneur à son nom en courant de façon ridicule après un ballon... Sinon, musicalement, comme d'habitude, quasiment tous les trucs programmés nous bottent. Si on sera juste curieux d'y voir des trucs comme Dum Dum Girls, Martina Topley Bird ou Massive Attack, on est complètement excités à l'idée d'y voir les Ganglians, The [...]

Se pueden decir muchas cosas sobre la voz y la música de Hope Sandoval , excepto que te deja impasible. Y es que esta mujer posee, en mi opinión, una de las voces más bellas y hechizantes del pop, aunque hay que reconocer que su estilo musical realmente no ha variado mucho desde aquel maravilloso So Tonight That I Might See que editó con su anterior banda, Mazzy Star. La cantante regresó el año pasado con un nuevo disco llamado Through The Devil Softly , del que ya escuchamos el primer maravilloso sencillo, "Blanchard", [...]

There's probably no one modern voice that soothes quite like Hope Sandoval 's does. From her days with Mazzy Star in the early 90s through her current project with The Warm Inventions, Sandoval has the ability to leave you hanging on every word she sings. It's with this sense of eased emotions that she's won over critics with her recent album, Through the Devil Softly . [...]

Th e marriage between music and photography has always interested me. When I hear some music it creates the instant vision in my head. I love it when music helps you escape, and creates some sort of fairytale in your mind. These three tracks below create an image of sitting in Central Park on a warm sunny Saturday. Bliss in Strawberry Fields or Sheep's Meadow. [...]

Happy New Year. First great music news of said new year? Soundgarden reunion is a go! How f'ing crazy is that? I guess Chris Cornell finally came to his senses. Maybe his shitty Timbaland produced R&B album, which bombed horribly, was the last straw or this is just a reunion tour cash grab. We shall see. I'm pretty pumped tough. I finally [...]

Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions - 'Through The Devil Softly' The problem with Hope Sandoval , is that she always sounds like Hope Sandoval. Not that it's a major problem when she sounds as swoonsomely gorgeous as this. More acoustic with than anything she did with Mazzy Star , 'Through The Devil Softly' is a slightly folkier take on the recognisably hazy, smoky, wistful late night stoner tone of her voice and songs.

Vuosi 2009 oli musiikin suhteen kaiken kaikkiaan laadukas. Parhaiden tuotosten listaamisessa ei ollut ongelmana sopivien ehdokkaiden löytäminen, vaan pikemminkin maratonikatsauksen välttäminen runsaan tarjonnan vuoksi. Listalle valikoitui lopulta monta loistavaa, miltei täydellistä suoritusta (mm. Animal Collective, Bill Callahan, Dirty Projectors, Fever Ray, Grizzly Bear, St. Vincent) sekä kasapäin tasokkaita julkaisuja, joita voi varauksetta suositella, mikäli niihin ei ole jo perehtynyt. Listalta oli pakko pudottaa monta hyvääkin levyä (mm. Camera Obscura: My Maudlin Careeer, Phoenix: Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, Memory Tapes: Seek Magic, Sister Flo: Au), joihin ei syystä tai toisesta tullut riittävästi perehdyttyä tai joista ei ehtinyt muodostunut riittävän tarkkaa [...]
