Oh, Austin... How I miss you so. Another year passes, and another SXSW missed. I guess I am lucky to have attended it in the past. SIGH... ah well, life moves forward. If I were going, here are a few acts I'd like to see: J.Irvin Dally Bedroom folky, troubadour drifter, whatever the title, J. Irvin Dally is a talented singer-songwriter. His hazy, piercing vocals and beautiful compositions are immediately gripping, and he's not [...]

While there were an insane number of great albums released this year, much of the excitement and buzz of new music and artists came instead from EPs. Often released as a precursor to an LP, the extended play (or EP) prepares fans for what they may find on a full length. For many of the releases in 2011, though, the EP was able to stand alone as a full musical composition. With the rise of Foster The People , Gary Clark Jr. , Alabama Shakes , Reptar , and followup releases from Surfer [...]
BEST OF 2011 : Songs | Albums (soon) | EPs/Singles | Discoveries/Heavy Rotation | Photos A really good year! The first 40 or so are mega-jams and the latter 38 (Rawkblog loves you, baby) are still jams. I purposefully left out songs by Destroyer because I couldn't decide, so consider Kaputt represented. You can play the entire page with the handy Ex.fm player in the bottom right corner, stream the playlist on Spotify and Rdio , and download everything after the jump. [...]
If 2010 was the year of the EP , 2011 was the year of the... not EP. While 73s and Bandcamp singles haven't killed the album off just yet, there was no shortage of tasty bite-size release this year. 10. Wet Years - Sleepy Cove cassette From the opening moments of "No Surf" - guitar murmurings that sound like gulls' cries - Wet Years make their beach allegiance clear, but the band dips into reverb only for the final brushstrokes on an [...]
Sun Room Teething J. Irvin Dally is one of the best kept secrets out of L.A. so far that could eventually get out of the bag with enough exposure because his lovely, whispering voice and his own style of multi-instrument folk songs clearly set him a part as something special. The songs are subtle, but they grow on you, they really grow. Two of my favorites are here, but you can pick up his 7", pre-order the upcoming LP, and listen to more [...]
Lord Huron / all photos by David Greenwald For the last 13 months, I've written a weekly column first for Brand X and currently the Los Angeles Times dubbed L.A. Unheard. The goal is to point out promising new local artists; during a short-lived concert series, we gave them the chance to play some cool shows, too. I've tried very hard to avoid hype and trends and go with my gut, which means the column's probably missed a lot of fresh electro and hip-hop, though we've managed to catch Foster the People, Hanni El Khatib [...]
Musicians use cover songs (especially these days with the immediacy of the Internet) to take a break from themselves. While thinking about this piece, I contacted many of my favorite musicians, asking them questions about why they released covers, and what about each track they chose was appealing. Each answer I received was different, but [...]
J. Irvin Daly: "Punchbowls" & "Teething" [mp3] J. Irvin Dally: "Sun Room" We're way late in posting this one from one of our favorite rising talents, but you know what they say, better late than... Thanks YT .
Top of the Thursday to you: ► The 2011 edition of Also I Like to Rock at the Hammer Museum closes with a bang tonight, with sets from the Henry Clay People and Lady Danville . The Henry Clays are working on material for their next album after this spring's very strong "This Is a Desert" EP. Lady Danville, the harmony-rich, UCLA-bred pop trio, just toured with Jack's Mannequin and are plotting the release of their debut album, probably early next year. The free show in the museum's courtyard kicks off [...]
Rain from the Cloud is a new feature that capitalizes on the SoundCloud leaks of new material you can't get as mp3. In the past, we've ignored SoundCloud links, because we like sharing mp3s. Ah, but there's too much out there to ignore! So we embrace you SoundCloud, and the wonderful rain you provide. Today we feature new tracks from J.Irvin Dally, Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Laura Marling, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, and Wilco. J.Irvin Dall y - Blue Grey a new track he just had to share [...]

J. Irvin Dally "Punchbowls" + "Teething" from Yours Truly on Vimeo . L.A. Unheard alumni J. Irvin Dally joins Yours Truly for a typically intimate performance of the singer's "Punchbowls" and "Teething." That voice! Also notable: the soft-focus video's color palette makes it look very nearly like moving Renaissance art. Da Vinci would be proud.
J. Irvin Dally - Teething J. Irvin Dally - Sun Room I love growers. You know what I mean. Those songs that so lightly tap you on the shoulder on the first listen that you almost don't even notice. But you can't shake that feeling that someone's trying to get your attention so you listen again and hear someone calling your name. Then on the third or fourth listen you're being beat over the head with a baseball bat while someone screams in your ear. [...]
