Electroacoustic übersite Fluid Radio has added a user forum to its webzine/record label/radio station/online retailer/photography/iPhone app format. Seriously, for the website you thought already had everything... In our first of two novelty sites, The Best Band Ever promises to take user-generated band rosters and create a mock band biography. It's fun, but it's powered externally, so it's a bit choppy. For example, try typing in Jeff Buckley, Niel Peart, David Crosby, Tori Amos, and Justin Bieber, which results in The Peart Justin of Buckley , a "5-piece band [...]

Balthazar B & The Beatitudes are an eclectic collective of musicians. The former name is a moniker for the Parisian artist Balthazar B. His collaborators, the Beatitudes, rotate between doctors, philosophers, and religious scholars. Maxwell and Ernest Beatitude are core contributors and childhood friends of Balthazar B. Each track on their new album, Like Shrapnel, [...]
I've been on a Big Star kick all week, thanks to the trailer for Nothing Can Hurt Me , a new documentary about the band's "massive critical acclaim, dismal commercial failure," and enduring legacy as "pop music's greatest cult phenomenon." The movie's tagline sums it up: I never heard Big Star on the radio, or even at a record shop. I listened to Big Star because other band's told me to via cover songs and tributes. My introduction to Alex Chilton first came through Elliott Smith's hushed cover of "Thirteen" (there are countless takes on [...]

From A(dele) to Z(ola Jesus), female singer-songwriters - or indeed often merely singers - are very much in vogue contemporarily, however few have a voice as capable of redirecting one's train of thought as Torontonian Cold Specks . The enigmatic 23-year-old, now based in London, is the second act to see a debut single released on Transgressive offshoot, paradYse records , and arrives at a time when the blogosphere is still clearing up after the brouhaha incurred by Theme Park's double A-side . Old Stepstone, the B-side to the release, is an almost baptismal a cappella number [...]
Pour cette première découverte de la saison, nous partons à l'autre bout de la Suisse, puisque le groupe de cette semaine nous vient des Grisons . Son nom : And her name is Violet . J'arrête tout de suite nos auditeurs masculins qui sont déjà titillés et qui se demandent qui est cette Violet, est-ce qu'elle est jolie et j'en passe : C'est un piège. And her name is Violet est un duo entièrement masculin. Hannes Barfuss au chant, à la guitare, parfois au synthé et Carlo Caduff à [...]
Forgetful Heart: [ Forgetful Heart ] Jeff Buckley: [ Forget Her ]
When an artist embarks on a solo project at a young age, the pursuit is commendable. Such ambition is shown on the full-length album by Leaves of Green, Imago. The album was created by one James Madole, a 20-year-old student at New York University. On his debut, Madole uses an infusion of vocals, guitar, ukulele, [...]
The words "cover song" typically cause an automatic negative reaction in me. I feel like Blaine Edwards in Men on Film with my constant, "hated it" response (yes, I am dating myself with that one, but go look it up kids-you won't be disappointed). But lately, I've noticed a handful of artists have been much more thoughtful in their choices of songs to cover. I've actually begun to dig around in search of covers in order to fill this new niche in my rotation.
The first song that started me down this path was hearing Justin Vernon (of Bon Iver fame) [...]
We threw a small end of summer bbq that went long into the night. The last few stragglers that remained into the twilight all gathered around the firepit with a drink, and we started playing my favorite game, one that I love to think I invented. It's basically giving everybody a chance to be the DJ for a song, a mix between a jukebox, and that game where you start telling a story and then the next person finishes. I love ...

Tras años de inconvenientes por los derechos de sus canciones e idas y vueltas con las productoras, la talentosa y trágica leyenda de la música estadounidense contemporánea tendrá no uno, sino dos films sobre su vida, a estrenarse en 2012 y 2013. Por un lado, en el film Greetings From Tim Buckley podremos observar el ascenso de uno de los mayores artistas de la década de los 90, ya que recreará los eventos alrededor del Recital Tributo al famoso padre del cantante (realizado en [...]
So one photo from one of the two Jeff Buckley biopics is now circulating online. That's it above. As you can see it's from the Buckley-pic starring Dan Humphrey from Gossip Girl , not the one starring Reeve Carney from Broadway's Spider-Man . To refresh you, Badgley's film is titled Greetings From Tim Buckley film, about a pre-fame Jeff, and doesn't have the rights to any of Jeff's music. I have conflicted emotions about a couple of aspects of this project. For one, I live with an Italian [...]
Jeff Buckley , una delle voci più limpide, è sempre stato considerato un artista 'maledetto' pur non essendo deceduto in maniera traumatica come Jim Morrison o Kurt Cobain. Forse perchè ha realizzato un solo album dal titolo "Grace" innovativo, ben fatto, che ha lasciato l'amaro in bocca a tutti per essere l'unica chicca prodotta dall'artista, che di talento ne aveva. O forse perchè era figlio di Tim, altro cantautore morto a 28 anni per un overdose di alcol e eroina. Morto nel 1997 per annegamento è nel cuore di innumerevoli fan, tanto che ben due biopic a [...]
Photo by G. Reeve Carney cast as Jeff Buckley This is a no-brainer! Reeve Carney, star of Spider-Man on Broadway and lead singer of the band Carney, has been cast as Jeff Buckley in the "official" bio-pic about the singer's life. As a big fan of Jeff Buckley's music, I was dreading the prospect of a movie because the names being thrown around that were in consideration to play Jeff are not singers. I am happy that if a movie has to be made, Reeve Carney [...]
Não será Robert Pattinson, nem James Franco nem mesmo Jared Leto. O ator que encarnará Jeff Buckley no filme baseado na biografia "Dream Brother: The Lives and Music of Jeff and Tim Buckley", de David Brown, será Reeve Carney. Pouco conhecido do grande público é, no entanto, conhecido do círculo de fãs de Broadway, visto que encarnou recentemente Spider-Man numa comédia musical, motivo da sua popularidade. Não sabemos se é uma grande notícia, mas a julgar pelas fotos encontradas no google e por este vídeo , deveremos dizer que há semelhanças. Nem que seja no [...]
It's been a bit confusing over the last few months as slots are filled on the two Jeff Buckley bio pics that are in the works. As we mentioned a few months ago , Penn Badgley from Gossip Girl has been cast to play the star role in the unofficial bio which is based on the days leading up to Buckley's appearance at father Tim's tribute concert. Now concerning the official, Mary Guibert sanctioned bio pic. Reeve Carney is being cast to play the leading role. Carney is currently staring as Spider-Man on Broadway's [...]
Filed under: News , Movies Getty Images (2) After all the rumors and plenty of strong fan reactions, it's been revealed that Reeve Carney will play Jeff Buckley in the much-ballyhooed biopic. The 'Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark' star beat out 'Twilight' star Robert Pattinson, who had lobbied for the role, and James Franco. The as-yet-untitled film will start shooting in November in New York and Memphis, where Buckley drowned in [...]
