The month of January was named after the Roman goddess Janus who had two faces.

You won't find the slightest trace of indie tricks — no fuzzy reverb, glitchy beats or laptop wizardry — on "I Want Us to Be Remembered," the first EP from Los Angeles quartet A House for Lions . "That's not who we are," singer-songwriter Daniel Norman says. "It would come off as false." Instead, Norman's partnership with guitarist Mike Nissen, keyboardist/bassist Eric McCann and drummer Felipe Ceballos favors classic songwriting, with the frontman's crystalline vocals prevailing sweetly over arrangements bearing a faint hint of Southern-fried pop. Think Ryan Adams meets Snow Patrol. [...]

I've been on a Letterman binge lately, staying up most nights to catch his show. NYC Mayor Bloomberg the other night was fun, Kate Hudson a few weeks was suitably strange and the music acts are always fun. Last night self-described 'music supergroup' Tired Pony played an urgent acoustic driven rocker with cool guitar feedback called "Dead American Writers", from the album The Place We Ran From . See the video below. I've heard about them, but haven't paid much attention. I've since learned that Gary Lightbody from Snow Patrol formed the band, along [...]
