![[Drunk Music Reviews] SXSW Travelogue: Part I](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4886080_lg.jpg)
Drunk Music Reviews is exactly what it sounds like: Caitlin Behle reviews shows while progressively getting drunker, while illustrator John Sebastian turns the drunken reviews, which could be ridiculous, sloppy or just plain insulting, into a comic. Welcome to the Drunk Music Reviews SXSW Travelogue. We're almost a month overdue (whoops), but here it is, in all its ink-smudged, beer-splashed glory. Before SXSW, the farthest John and I had traveled together as Drunk Music Reviews was Lexington, Kentucky, so bear with us while we stumble [...]

It's Thursday, the first day of the 11th annual MidPoint Music Festival and you don't know where to start.

Well, here is what I recommend for your Thursday. - Take It Easy : MidPoint is a marathon, not a sprint, so don't burn [...]
![[MPMF 2012] Artist Capsule: Lord Huron](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4527520_lg.jpg)
NPR: "For the L.A. band Lord Huron , there's far more to music than merely playing sweetly summery, rhythmically inventive pop. There's also an air of mystery: a desire to tell stories, play with identities and craft visuals to complement its sounds." Lord Huron's gorgeous atmospheric pop is ideal for helping you transition from summer to fall. Frontman Ben Schneider's background in visual arts is reflected in Lord Huron's music, as one listen of their upcoming full-length album Lonesome Dreams instantly paints a lush and vivid landscape of the West. In a [...]

America: A land with summers so great, we even named a sausage after them. It is true that the music beloved here is most typically of the country variety. Unfortunately, large swaths of this very small population lap up what's fed to them via country radio with no idea that there is real country still out there. Music that harkens back to the old days of the genre when it was still good and calling it country meant something. I'm not knocking Jason Aldean but...fuck it, YES I AM. On that same note, the people of [...]

Retrospectacular Prospect Once again, time for a little sit at the table Christmas family reunion, to exchange gifts and make a little balance of last year's difficult times. Grandpas of Crazy-Language are still in top form, clearly proving they're here to stay until the need of some disapear change; whilst the children are running around like loonatics, showcasing their brand new fresh ideas, energy and clear will to leave a mark in the future. Overpowering glitches, soft as pie melodies, insane in the membrane breaks, experimentalisms from the depths of hell, pads thrown to earth by [...]

In an attempt to get back into the habit of posting I'm looking to Hamilton for inspiration. From what I've heard, there seems to be an ever-growing community of dedicated musicians with a very loyal following. I guess it's all those years of living in the shadows of the Steeltown smoke. With several of the production facilities now closed, Hamilton's art community now appears to be rising from the ashes. One such band is Cowlick who recently celebrated the release of their album Wires . Cowlick's slow growth into the [...]

Click here to get the full album Sounds like: Widespread Panic, Moe, Led Zeppelin, Wilco Download audio file (noid-06_-_Corktown.mp3) What's so good? Hailing from Hamilton, Ontario, Huron is a self-described rock and roll band, but I would say they are a bit more dynamic than being pigeon-holed into the massive genre of 'rock and roll.,' I'd define them as 'real, good, music.' It's certainly clear that Huron stays close to their rock roots; with influences ranging from [...]

( === click for free download === ) complex and sometimes crazy It is always difficult to grab peoples attention for electronic musicreleased in the world wide web and it might not be helpful to publish a compilation of electronic music between Christmas and New Year's Eve. Anyway, the language of music is complex and sometimes crazy in a positive way and Crazy Language presents a really great finish after plenty publications in 2008. The compilation features 23 artists from across the world. This includes a global survey of the [...]

Minus Abstraction, Plus Perfection. Huron is Steffen Schröder from Berlin - Germany - and he should be known from his last releases which were published by his homebase Crazy Language. With his new album he is providing 13 tracks of his unique style. This album is clearly embed in an electronica robe like the ones before, but itís more detailed and the space which is created in each track is more structured. Beats which seems to be reduced plus nice dsp-influenced techniques help to follow the marvellous and beautiful soundscapes which often grap these mournful feelings. If you [...]
