So I think it must be the relatively cool, gloomy weather or the fact that it's been a pretty chill day (meaning I've basically been lazing around at home all day) or the fact that it's about 2 weeks from the release of Grizzly Bear's Veckatimest ; but it's been a very Grizzly Bear-centric day music wise. Watching live videos, staring at the wall while listening to Horn of Plenty , imagining myself at a Grizzly Bear gig... for about 6 hours. Gotta love the days when you are just [...]

Now that it's time for George W. Bush to leave (get out of) the White House, let's look back at the lineup for the "America's Future Rocks" concert, which celebrated his inauguration in 2005: JoJo; Ruben Studdard; Hilary Duff; Fuel; Three Doors Down; Ryan Cabrera; and Angie Harmon, who I think was there as just a Dubya-sympathetic celebrity, and not a performer. (Too bad, because an "Abbie Carmichael's Greatest Hits" monologue would have been fire . "I burn it, I don't store it!" ) [ War Room ]
photo by Julius Metoyer It's been a long time coming... 1. Eliot Lipp - "Best Friends" (mp3) Brooklyn-by-way-of-Tacoma electronic musician Eliot Lipp has been on my radar ever since Scott Herron, or rather Prefuse 73, picked up his tracks. And it's plain to see why Herron found Lipp's music intriguing. The production is pristine—volatile little blips and wavering synth lines are juxtaposed with oppressively constant beeps and feverish beats. 2. Empire of the Sun - "Walking On A Dream" (mp3) This is [...]

Last we heard from Jojo she was leaving a trail of boys all heart sore on a deliciously flipped remake of Sean Kingston's "Beautiful Girls"; to mark her return after a brief hiatus (though in pop trend terms, it's felt more like a decade), she's opted on trying out the winning formula yet again, this time providing a female slant to T-Pain's stripper-saving single "Can't Believe It". Jo isn't
~ JoJo - Can't Believe It [T-Pain Cover] ~ First it was Sean Kingston's Beautiful Girls , and now it's T-Pain newest single Can't Believe It. Jojo does the damn thing, without Autotune's help. Haha, T-Pain's keeps getting showed up by young talents lately. Listen: Link 1 / Link 2
Well, I guess this post only has to do with one of those things. (But I sure do love The Office .) Ed Droste, the lead singer of Grizzly Bear, updated the band's blog a little while ago with a recounting of how, for over a year (and for reasons known only to him), he's been hounding band member Dan Rossen to record a cover of cheese-filled Top 40 hit 'Too Little Too Late' by Jo Jo. I know I'm a little late on this, it was put up almost a year ago, but [...]
For whatever reason, I've been listening to a lot of covers over the course of the summer. In lieu of any new music, here's the best of them: Dan Rossen - Too Little, Too Late Dan Rossen lends his haunting vocal talent to Jo Jo's Too Little, Too Late. According to Pitchfork, he recorded the song for fellow Grizzly Bear member Ed Droste's 29th birthday. Too cute. [...]
The new issue of the New Yorker has a really interesting article entitled "The Gerbil's Revenge" about the latest radio phenomenon: Auto-Tune. (You can read the article in full here .) Briefly, Auto-Tune is a software that corrects pitch. Before 1998, the software, developed by Antares Audio Technologies, had been quietly used to make slight tweeks to artists vocals to perfect a track. Only after Cher's hit Believe , which shamelessly employed Auto-Tune, was the cat out of the bag. Recently Auto-Tune has become a widely used trick of the trade for [...]
I honestly believe my shuffle play was in-tune with my mood, as most of today's tracks are soft or smooth or reeking of beachy nostalgia. (No, I have no idea what I'm talking about either!) It looks as if this post is dominated by indie radio covers and tributes. 16 Horsepower "Single Girl, Married Girl" (The Carter Family cover) My pal Ryan is in a band that opened for another band whose members used to be in 16 Horsepower. He texted me the other night to ask if [...]
In 2006, JoJo released her single Too Little Too Late , a pop highlight of the year. In late 2007, Daniel Rossen of Grizzly Bear covered it. Disposing of the beats and synthesised strings, Rossen strips To Little Too Late back to basics, filling it with sweeping harmonies and an all acoustic accompaniment. The resulting sound is uncannily similar to the music of Cat Stevens , instrumentally, yes, but it's vocally [...]

JoJo: suicide solution DOWNLOAD: Jo-Jo, "Beautiful Girls" (mp3) With a new line-up of teen rap phenoms schoolhouse-rocking this summer — the Pack , Huey , Lil' Mama , Sean Kingston — it's a lousy time for an underage pop star to be hitless. So what's a girl to do? If you're Foxborough teen queen Jo-Jo and your sophomore album, The High Road , has already gone one-single-and-out, the answer is our favorite brand of novelty track: an answer song. Her reply [...]
Alright folks, I'm back. Hopefully for good this time. My computer and server had major issues but I'm recovering quickly and I'm sorry about the downtime. Today I'm going to do something I don't normally do. I'm going to put on my mainstream pop wings and throw out a song that I love and there is a reason to the madness. This song goes out to all the women who have left a man who treated them like dirt. All the women who need to leave that man because they deserve so much better. And all [...]
JoJo "The Way You Do Me" - With each new track, Swizz Beatz is beginning to seem like an American equivalent of Britain's Xenomania production team in the way that his arrangements pound bombastic hooks into the listener with merciless intensity while also coming across as sleek, slinky, and seductive. "The Way You Do Me" is a characteristically efficient machine, and it forces the generally middleweight JoJo to double her efforts on a song that could have just as easily fallen into the lap of a powerhouse like Beyonce. She does a good job, and it's not [...]
