Verlunarmannageðveikin framundan og ekkert annað í stöðunni en að forða sér eins langt frá öllu þéttbýli og mögulegt er. Nema maður loki sig bara inn á klóstetti og taki kojufyllerí í baðkarinu? Hvernig sem fer þá er ljóst að maður verður að hafa með sér tónlist. Hér er smá. Góða helgi og gerið endilega eitthvað sem ég myndi gera!

After releasing Jeff Hanson's universally acclaimed debut 'Son' , and his similarly embraced self-titled second album, Kill Rock Stars is proud to be a part of this talented singer-songwriter's latest effort in a musical career spanning more than a decade. Jeff Hanson will be releasing his third LP, 'Madam Owl' , for the now legendary label August 19th, 2008. This record, like its two predecessors, contains a set of pop-music symphonies, every one of which feels like it could be the record's single. Not that this album marks a radical departure from the Jeff [...]

I haven't listened to much Jeff Hanson, but, as been noted before , the first thing you notice is his voice-- high-pitched, delicate, precise. After spending some time last year with those Bobb Trimble reissues , I sense an overlap there, or perhaps it's just the way that they both remind me of Big Star in " Give Me Another Chance " mode. In any event, this song, from his forthcoming third album Madam Owl on Kill Rock Stars, is nicely balanced and sweetly [...]

Jeff Hanson , the really talented artist who's most widely known as "that dude that sounds like a chick" is set to release his third album, Madam Owl , just one month from now, but you'd be hard pressed to find much in the way of promo or info for the record online. Every time I get a Kill Rock Stars List email in my inbox, I jump on it, thinking "surely, there will be something about Jeff Hanson's new album in there," but there never is... so I'm starting to fear that [...]

One of the reasons I love eMusic is that I can always count on them having those rare compilation discs put out by my favorite indie labels. Which is great for two reasons: (1) I don't have to track them down in the stores and (2) I don't have ...

It's nearly the end of March, which means it is time for another mix. All of them are free and legal, which is good news for me since then I don't have to pay for any bandwidth. Living the good, cheap life is the only way to live... at least when you're a cheap bastard. And don't tell me you've seen a cooler picture of Christopher Walken today, because you haven't. Calla - Bronson - (MP3, 5.8 MB) Calla is an awesome band that I could never recommend enough, and that [...]
Pandora is certainly the most interesting Internet radio station I've come across; the songs it plays for you depend on your opinions of the last songs it's played for you. It still can't really pinpoint your tastes, since you can only tell the site if you liked the song or you didn't. No in-between answers (outside of not answering), and no answers like "the guitar bits sucked, but the singing was good." So when it played Jeff Hanson, a fellow described on last.fm as "Elliott Smith if he came back as a 16-year old girl," I can't help but [...]
As the end of yet another year approaches, every music blog and magazine on the planet will rank the best albums and songs of the past year. Will Mike Went West, a blog that prides itself on being different, join the masses? Hell yes I will. Who would pass ...

There's a scene in the beginning of I Heart Huckabees , where Jason Schwartzman's character, determined to navigate Los Angeles by bike, rides through the neighborhood I work in, traditionally called Miracle Mile . About a month ago I finally picked up a used bike, something I had meant to do since I realized there was no way that i would be able to squeeze my New York bike into miny tiny car and survive a cross-country drive. I've been riding to work somewhat regularly, and I'd recommend it to anyone as a healthy break from the monotony [...]
