There seems to be an infinite amount of talent in the world at any given moment. I listen to a lot of music, but I could always listen to more. The job of a music blogger is never truly done, which can be frustrating and exhilarating at the same time. Below are three amazing artists I have recently discovered, and I would like to formally apologize to the thousands of other worthy artists that I have failed to acknowledge. Hit the jump to discover who is Now Playing (#NP4) on my iTunes... [...]

![TEXTURE LIKE SUN CONTINUES TO RISE [STREAM]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4741740_lg.jpg)
There were a few albums I obsessed over when I was growing up, and Jeff Buckley’s Grace was one of them. Perhaps that’s why I was immediately drawn to Australian band Texture Like Sun . Not only are singer Mark Pearl’s vocals reminiscent of Buckley’s, but the music also haunts you in a similar fashion. Darker-toned themes are celebrated, constructing an eerie ambience that consumes the listener. Pearl released an album back in 2007 under the alias The Commas and then disappeared until 2011 [...]

- Frequenze News - Quando il morale è basso ci sono dei brani che hanno le potenzialità di mandartelo a meno di zero in pochi secondi, spingendoti in quel limbo di tristezza/noia da cui è poi veramente difficile uscire. E' ovvio che la tipologia dei brani rimane una cosa puramente soggettiva, ma più banalmente generalizzando, artisti come Bon Iver, Josè Gonzales o Damien Rice la lacrimuccia la richiamano un pò a tutti (non che sia un male).

There's a storm a-brewin' outside my East Village window. From 6 stories up, I can see The Bowery Hotel standing strong against the wind that's blowing the tree that separates my building from the others on the street south of me. It's a weird thing to be thankful for, but I'm thankful for this hurricane. Yes, it's a bit scary and safety should be a priority, but I'm grateful for the time it's opened up for me to slow my life down a bit. Most of New York City is shut down: mass transit isn't moving so really if I [...]

Members of a New York Police Department tactical team rescue Haley Rombi, 3, in the Dongon Hills neighborhood of the Staten Island borough of New York, Oct. 30, 2012. (Michael Kirby Smith/The New York Times) I try to avoid sharing two thematic posts in a row. But Halloween has come and gone with nary a fanfare in our town, making it All Saints Day - and though having grown up Jewish, I don't really have a coherent sense of the role of the saint in the everyday life, I do [...]

Another year, another Twilight movie with a killer indie soundtrack - this time it's the final installment, Breaking Dawn Part 2 , and even if you could care less about the plot (spoiler alert: there's a vampire baby involved) you'll probably be impressed as usual by the names they've got on board - Passion Pit , Feist , St. Vincent , POP ETC , James Vincent McMorrow , etc. The soundtrack will drop November 13, two days before the film - we'll keep you posted as leaks surface.
