Coachellas line-up this year hearkens back to the pastnot the old past, but my past, to the bands that were popular when I was in high school. To keep in the spirit of things, Ive reviewed all of this weekends bands as I might have done in Freshman English at Booker T. Washington High School in Tulsa. Todays format? All limericks! Oh, and I started not at Coachella proper, but at the Ace Hotel, where we lounged around and watched bands poolside with pretty damned good bloody marys in our hands.

La ceremonia de la 53 entrega de los Grammy Awards , que tuvo lugar en el Straples Center de California, comenzaba mandando la esperadsima presentacin en vivo de Lady Gaga en los primeros minutos de la gala, sacndose un gran peso de tensin de encima. Una tensin que se haba originado en las primeras noticias que anunciaban su presencia en el evento, que se vi maximizada cuando logrbamos, al fin, darle una escucha al sencillo Born This Way (claro estaba que haba que reivindicar una pequea gran decepcin con un poco de tratamiento visual), y [...]]]> text/html 2011-02-14T06:17:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3200643/cee-lo-green-bruno-mars-bob-and-janelle-mone-live-performances/

The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards takes place tonight (February 13) in Los Angeles but before the big show happens, stars are flocking to the pre-Grammy parties and events. One of the biggest pre-Grammy parties is always Clive Davis ' annual bash and anyone who is anyone usually shows up. Singer/actress Miley Cyrus attended the party dressed in a beige knee-length dress with cutout accents. Katy Perry looked stunning in a flowing dress with her hair down. Adam Lambert looked perfect as always in a suit with a glam touch. [...]]]> text/html 2011-01-26T12:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3145729/nominados-a-los-shockwaves-nme-awards-2011/
El anuncio de los nominados de cualquier ceremonia de premios es un tpico que siempre genera controversias, ya que nunca falta algo que va en contra de las expectativas (una inclusin, ausencia, etctera), pero la revista britnica NME lleva una dcada ininterrumpida de polmicas a travs de sus NME Awards , los premios que cada ao entrega a los locos personajes del entretenimiento, principalmente de la msica.

"I Want To Be Well" certamente das msicas mais ansiosas que Sufjan Stevens j comps. As batidas eletrnicas, os sopros, as cordas, os backing vocals, tudo na msica reflete uma urgncia nervosa no muito comum no trabalho do compositor. E mesmo quando Sufjan, mais ou menos na metade da faixa, reduz a velocidade dessa viagem alucinada por dentro de si mesmo, s para preceder e preparar o momento logo aps no qual tudo - cantor, msica, letra - explode numa declarao que resume todo o trabalho de Sufjan Stevens: "eu no estou pra putaria" - como o [...]]]> text/html 2011-01-21T13:02:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3132999/friday-remixes/
In this week's edition of Friday Remixes, one remix has my heart beating faster than normal and my palms sweating as I move dance awkwardly. The Casey Spooner track "Spanish Teenager" remixed by Acid Washed has me very curious about the ex-half of Fischerspooner on his solo album, "Adult Contemporary" produced by Jeff Saltzman (The Black Keys, The Killers, Blondie) to be released January 25th. You can watch the video to the accompanying single below.

B.o.B and Bruno Mars - Wireimage After wowing the crowd at the Grammy Nominations Live! concert last December, Bruno Mars and B.o.B will be taking their act to the big show. According to Rolling Stone , both newcomers, as well as nominee Janelle Monae , have been added to the growing list of performers for the 53rd annual Grammy Awards. Both Mars and B.o.B go into the show with multiple nominations, including Record of the Year for their collaboration, "Nothin' On You."

Ah, Amy, voc precisa sorrir mais... Crdito da foto: Fabio Motta/AE Amy veio, subiu no palco, cantou, e cantou muito. Uma voz nica, incontestvel. Mas faltou alguma coisa... A incredulidade de ver Amy ao vivo foi a mesma de se dar conta da curta durao do show, uma hora, talvez um pouquinho mais. Se ficou aquele sentimento de que a conta no fechou, vale pensar um pouco nas expectativas sobre Amy e no que de fato ela pode oferecer em seu atual momento.

As you might be able to tell by our lack of posting, we were hard at work over the holidays putting together our end of the year lists. Today is the first of three lists - our Best Albums of 2010 list. As per usual, this is simply a list comprised of albums we've listened to this year and adored. We dont post any album that we havent given solid ears to; likewise we don't give in to hype that]]> text/html 2011-01-01T23:45:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3083259/the-top-50-songs-of-2010/
2010 was quite a year. It was a rebirth, a reaffirmation of my love of music (and writing about it, and taking pictures of it). I still feel as if I'm catching up, but the end of the year provided a great opportunity to revisit what I loved and seek out what I missed. This is a list of the songs that mattered to me. Please share your own in the comments. 50. Magda - "Get Down Goblin" [...]]]> text/html 2010-12-30T22:47:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3083586/best-songs-of-2010-mixtape/
happy new years eve! this is my own personal collection of my favorite songs of 2010. it was a tough decision to narrow down the best from out of 500 tracks, but the below addictions (in no particular order) seemed to take over my speakers for the most of this year. a collection of everything from indie rock, pop, r&b, soul, hip hop, electronica, and acoustics that made music in general feel good again. personally this year was a rollercoaster of happy emotions from moving to florida to starting a new line of jewelry to beginning new friendships to renewing [...]]]> text/html 2010-12-30T08:07:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3078574/ohmpark-mixtape-18-goodbye-2010/

First of all, I'd like to say that I haven't blogged in awhile because I was on holidays, now that it's out of the way, you've probably noticed that the Above & Beyond Magazine Restrospective 2010 has started with the Favorite Songs of Ryan just below, well here are my favorite songs for the year [...]]]> text/html 2010-12-27T15:42:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3073881/musicforantscoms-best-albums-of-2010/
(photo by cubagallery ) In a few days 2010 will come to a close and as I look back, I really must say this has been one of my favorite years to cover since I started writing about music. I don't know how the rest of the decade will keep up the pace, because this year has set the standards extremely high. I've commented before that it seemed that almost all of my favorite artists (Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens, Belle & Sebastian, The National, of Montreal, etc) released albums in 2010, and fortunately most of them were [...]]]> text/html 2010-12-27T10:15:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3076705/outside-lands-success-with-old-and-new-music-andfood-best/
Outside Lands Festival Day 1 Saturday August 14 was crisp, overcast and the start of the third annual Outside Lands Music and Art Festival, billed as a weekend of Music, Food, Wine and Art (note: copyright infringment). Cast primarily on the old polo field in San Franciscos Golden Gate Park, Outside Lands delivered as promised with a minimum of traditional festival logistical headaches, making for a very enjoyable weekend by the Bay. Organizers seem to have learned from criticisms levied in previous years when the event [...]]]>
