Erika Wennerstrom is the backbone, heart, and creator of blues-garage act Heartless Bastards , and her vocals have a fierce, feminine grit uncommon in modern-day frontwomen. She started writing songs on the piano at the age of 13, and learned how to play the guitar by writing original material.… [ Read more ] [ Subscribe to the comments on this story ]

![[Hype Hype Hooray] How Much Influence Does Indie Music Really Have?](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4229824_lg.jpg)
Every [two weeks?] Jamie Hale takes a long, hard look at the music industry and the blog scene that feeds it. Here, he releases those findings and makes snarky, sarcastic remarks. Admittedly, both Jamie and Knox Road are a part of this scene. So sue us. This week I got my TIME magazine, as usual, on Monday morning at work. This week's issue wasn't a typical issue, it was a double issue called "The 100 Most Influential People in the World." Always musically-minded I skipped over the politicians and billionaires and comedians to find out which [...]
Created and run by Alan Braxe, Vulture Music provides the platform for a total free realm of space for artists to write and produce some of their closely held ideas, and freshest new material. For artists such as Fred Falke, Lifelike and Kris Menace , productions such as 'Discopolis,' Running' and Chrystal City' are to name but a few anthems that have already breathed life into the label and have created an already existing following in the process. This acclaimed producer, DJ and composer in Alan Braxe has already made an [...]

One act who doesn't really partake in mixtapes is dutch funk maverick Shook - well this ends today - he's made a mixtape of music that has influenced the music he makes.

Dayton - We Can't Miss 5. Illja Rudman - Show Me The Magic [...]
Filed under: News , Video , Exclusive , New Music Joseph Llanes for AOL You would be hard-pressed to find a musician and songwriter more gifted than Lenny Kravitz . Over the course of nine studio albums, the 47-year-old native New Yorker has wowed fans and critics alike with a dazzling blend of funk, soul, rock, folk, reggae, gospel and even some '70s-kissed heavy metal. Kravitz first hit the scene with 'Let Love Rule,' [...]
Welcome to Flannel Fest 2011. Thrift-store plaid, you're over here in Line 1. Everybody in the long-sleeved Henleys, weathered denim and Urban Outfitters ruffles, you're there in Line 2. You in your dad's vintage C.P.O., you're up front with me. Oh, and are those a few Old Navy flannel hoodies I spot? You must be here to see Blitzen Trapper ... back of Line 3, please. ||| Concert photography by Scott Dudelson I note that a lot of you showed up early to see [...]
It's pretty clear that 21st century music runs through Pitchfork. Print magazines don't have the impact they used to, and their correlating online sites aren't nearly as relevant as the tastemakers over at P4K. The slightly troubling issue about this power, however, is that Pitchfork doesn't seem wholly clean. As a powerful industry leader, they [...]
Our inaugural Under The Influence mixtape finds Galway's The Kanye Tree sharing tracks from their collective Walkman, from Cass McCombs to People Under The Stairs, Flying Lotus, Neil Young, Mocky, Beach House and finishing with the Laser Tom And The Blast Crew remix it's a diverse listen yet a constantly pleasing one. The Kanye Tree are off on an Irish tour this week and their People Street album is out now. Tracklisting Cass Mc Combs - 'Harmonia' Beck - 'Broken Drum' (Boards [...]
Rockstar Kush Comments: Rockstar (aka Rockstar Kush) is one of my favourite strains for true medical qualities. Opening the container released a thick peppery smell and cracking the nugs really release the skunky and kushy tones. Beyond such an inviting smell, a great coating of trichomes from thin (perfectly snappable!) stems to the tip of the (2.5g max) buds leave a some sticky resin on your fingers and make rolling a dream. This batch is a bit lighter in colour than last year, but it still screams dank indica.
St. Vincent wasn't on my radar prior to late spring of 2009, even though the band had already released an album two years before. My wife and I were set to head to Bonnaroo in a couple months and, in preparation, were listening to as much music as we could get our hands on from dozens of bands in the lineup, St. Vincent being among them. So, Actor was in the rotation. I wasn't sure what to make of St. Vincent's sound initially and still was uncertain weeks later as we watched the band live at Bonnaroo. Annie [...]

Life's A Bitch - Fashawn feat Talib Kweli - Doing their version of arguably the greatest hip hop song of all time from Nas and AZ, Fashawn and Talib come correct. Pretty Lights vs Led Zeppelin - This is Pretty Lights' take on Led Zeppelin. He takes pieces of 7 Zep songs and makes them into his own crazy song. It's dope. Influence - Jurassic 5 - Loveandpeace remix - Sturmrekorder - I caught this at Soundcloud. Pretty cool [...]
