It's with much excitement that we share something that's been brewing for a while, which is now seeing the light of day. Snakeweed Sessions is a video project that takes place at, as you've guessed it, the legendary Snakeweed Studios in Singapore. For the uninitiated, Snakeweed holds an important place in the annals of local music history. Formed and run by music producer and engineer Leonard Soosay, it has been the setting for many great local albums, featuring some of our more recent favorite bands like B-Quartet and I Am David Sparkle .

Selection for Day 3 (March 20): Alela Diane I realised I've been going through a folk phase lately, constantly listening to music by talented acts such as Laura Marling , Laura Gibson and William Elliott Whitmore .

Here's the fourth installment of the only music-blog-based global initiative that I know of, Music Pact Alliance, which is best thought of as an indie-fied United Nations: hipsters tweaking their perfectly groomed 'staches and fluffing their v-necked chest hair whilst leading a discussion on the best music the world has to offer. As the first MAP of the new year, this edition aims (indirectly) as a guide for bands to watch for 2009. Whether you're from Brooklyn or the Balkans, you'll want to check out this list. As Nathaniel so eloquently put it last month: "Three [...]

AMERICA – I Guess I’m Floating Blind Man’s Colour – Jimmy Dove Blind Man’s Colour came on our radar in late ‘08 with three excellent Animal Collective covers. With their debut album, Season Dreaming, coming out sometime in early ‘09 and Jimmy Dove as their first explosive single, they’ve got a good chance of becoming my favorite find of 2009 less than one month in. They’ve also got a free EP called Rainbow [...]

When I was young, perhaps around five, my dad decided one day that we should take a drive. I asked him where we were driving to but he just grunted. My dad grunts at everything. I once caught him grunting at the tape deck because it was playing 'Hard Day's Night' a nanosecond slower. Yeah my dad knows these things. He may not know that poultry means chicken or that the Internet is not inside the computer but hey, he knows when John's singing a fret lower. So I got to the car. It [...]
