Dntel has been a pretty busy guy lately. After forming the Postal Service with Ben Gibbard a few years back, and putting out a hit album, he then went on to work with Bright Eyes, and produce yet another hit single. Apparently, all that exposure paid off; Dntel's latest album, his first since 2001, is chock full of high profile guests. From Bright Eyes, to Jenny Lewis, and even Grizzly Bear, every track is bolstered by a hit musician. Fortunately, the artists are only there to add a certain something to the tracks, not to cover up for a lack [...]
ניסיתי להתחמק מהפוסט הזה בכל דרך אפשרית, אבל הנה, בדקה התשעים, רשימת שירי השנה שלי, 2006. כל השירים המומלצים אגב, ניתנים להורדה. בנוסף, חלק מהשירים הנוספים גם ניתנים. חפשו את הלינקים. The Shins - Phantom Limb ובכן, קצת מוזר לי להודות, אבל השיר שהכי אהבתי השנה לקוח מתוך אלבום שבכלל ייצא ב-2007. הרבה מילים כבר נשפכו עליו , אבל לסיכום העניין: יפה, מרגש וסוחף. Justin Timberlake - My Love ובכיוון יותר פופי, השיר שהכי גרם לי לזוז כמו [...]
The Invisible Songs of 2006 (vol. 3) Yes, the list just goes on and on... it's like the Casey Kasem countdown, ad infinitum. As Casey himself has been known to say, "It's fucking ponderous, man... ponderous, fucking ponderous." Oneida - " History's Great Navigators " from Happy New Year ( Jagjaguwar ). This song sounds as mean and desolate as a dark alley. I like that it features what sounds like a broken Fisher Price piano. [...]
1. Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins - Rise Up With Fists It's hard for me to hide my love for this album. With Jenny Lewis realizing her artistic potential combined with lovely, soulful backing vocals by the Watson Twins, cynicism never sounded so beautiful. 2. Devics - Distant Radio I first got into the Devics after hearing Dustin O'Halloran's instrumental pieces on the Marie Antoinette
As I'm putting together my year-end lists, I keep thinking about the plethora of female-fronted bands that killed it this...
Here we are towards the end of the year bringing you our favorite albums of 2006. We've had a lot of different contributors since we started all the way back in April, but I thought it would be nice to get lists from most of the ones who've been a part of this blog for some time. I'll probably devote the majority of this week to lists, but the only list from me you'll see here is just albums. I think a couple of others here might be compiling different kinds of lists as well, so [...]
Drake fave Tom Waits has a new box set of odds and ends coming soon ( Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards , 11/21) but for some reason that has nothing to do with these four new exclusive tracks getting love from AOL's newly renamed Spinner.com site (dropped the 'indie music blog' tag - good move.) All of the tracks (three streaming, one a download) are from August performances this year, and are fairly representative of Waits' amazing live shows. Gobble 'em up turky lurkey. [...]

No, rilokiley.com is not streaming hip-hop a la MC Ryan Adams. But following last week's revelation that Jenny Lewis hearts Too $hort, we took another look at the indie pin-up's "music that changed my life" feature from the April Spin....
