Wow. It was one year ago today that I squeezed out my first post as The Burning Ear and 411 posts later and here we are. It's amazing how fast time flies and how much great music can come out in a year. Birthday's are a time for celebration and gift giving so I've wrangled together a little something for all of you to celebrate with. Over the past 12 months a number of great tracks have found a happy home in my stereo but for whatever reason or another I never covered them on the site. As a 1st [...]
Feast your ears on Jonathon Boulet: A 21-year old bundle of talent. A sydney-sider skate rat. A DIY debut album. Enough said. Music to your ears. From mine. With love -KT
well well.. it only seems like yesterday that i was whinging about how cold it was. one blink and ive suddenly find myself smack bang in the middle of november and right at the feet of what is surely going to be the best summer ever . it seems that modular are every bit as excited for the 'silly' season as everyone else.. accordingly, they have decided to throw 2 massive parties in sydney and melbourne ... maybe its their way of say "thanks" for supporting them through a tough 2009. or [...]
Jonathon Boulet tradehook's won tickets to go see Tame Impala the other week at Waves in Wollongong. Little did we know that the standout performance of the night would come from Tame Impala's support band Jonathon Boulet . You probably have heard their song " A Community Service Announcement" getting played all over the triple j airwaves recently, so for something different I'm bringing you the song they opened with on the night " Ones Who Fly Two Who Die" . I'm over waiting [...]
The Music Alliance Pact (MAP) is a collaboration between 25 blogs from 25 countries, and every month on the 15th (yeah, I know I am late posting this!) all the blogs post the same post, - this one -, with 25 songs and band-presentations from the countries in the Music Alliance Pact. Eardrums represents Norway, and this time we will tell you about a wonderful band called Maribel. The countries and the songs are listed alphabetically below. Enjoy the Music Alliance Pact! AMERICA: [...]
MAP (Music Alliance Pact) asks 25 music bloggers across the world to share a track from their home country that they think you should hear. Some great stuff from Jonathan Boulet, Land & Peoples, Green Go, Sinusstøv, Walter and your introduction to Munich bass...Schlachthofbronx.. This is the most enjoyable MAP yet. AMERICA: I Guess I'm Floating Lands & Peoples [...]

Já estamos em Maio e, este mês, no que diz respeito à participação portuguesa no Music Alliance Pact, temos um repetente. Não uma banda repetente mas uma pessoa. Nuno Rancho, que foi a primeira participação portuguesa no M.A.P., volta agora com o seu projecto electro-rock-pop, TiMaria, que partilha com o seu amigo, Diogo, e o seu irmão, Luis. O tema, como vão ouvir, pode vir a provocar sintomas

MEXICO : Club Fonograma Mr. Racoon - Ferry 3 Mr. Racoon is one of several projects by Roberto Polo, among them 60 Tigres and Fuck Her, Or The Terrorists Win . This is by far his most charming moment yet. His music unfolds the very best of a prolific songwriter that, as opposed to what his music may sound like, is a maximalist taking the lo-fi production and his shimmering voice to heroic amplitudes. Ferry 3 is a cut [...]
Here's April's edition of the Music Alliance Pact . For those of you who don't know about MAP, it's a collection of music blogs from around the world who band together once a month to shed light on up-and-comers from their home countries. It's sort of like the WTO without the human rights violations. This month we're keeping the MAP participation at a nice even quaternarial 25 nations, at least for now. Some of you expressed how much of a pain in the ass it is to sift through 25 songs for [...]
We're back. The mighty international music blogging conglomerate known as MAP (Music Alliance Pact) is back with a new batch of songs from around the world. AMERICA: I Guess I'm Floating 4 Lands & Peoples – Awake Baltimore-based Lands & Peoples seem to have [...]
It's MAP time again. This month I'm enthusing about Blue Roses, as I have here quite a lot already. The more I hear that album, the better it gets. But there's a lot more of good worldwide stuff here. Check it out. AMERICA: I Guess I'm Floating 4 Lands & Peoples ...
Xenophobia; cheese; campness; political voting; broken English; fake smiles; gimmicks, backstabbing. Yes, Eurovision Song Contest weekend is here and it's so bad it's good. Perhaps, in some subconscious level, Eurovision inspired our decision to launch the Music Alliance Pact, the monthly multinational inter-blogging extravaganza. Scary thought. As ever, we've rounded up the world's most clued-up music bloggers and persuaded them to share their favourite song from their homeland and write a few words about it. Then post the entire list on their own websites. We start with a band called BOYCOTTS [...]
E 15, deci azi avem selecţia MAP. Cu Semiosis din partea noastră şi multe alte bunătăţi. Enjoy! [for the moment, the songs for Argentina and Peru do not work in browser. we will try to rectify the problem, and this message will disappear when said modifications will be made. However, the songs do exist in the archive with all the songs, and can be listened if/when you get it all] AMERICA: I Guess I'm Floating [...]
AMERICA: I Guess I'm Floating 4 Lands & Peoples – Awake Baltimore-based Lands & Peoples seem to have a knack for hypnotherapy. With a commanding ethereal ambience and gorgeous catatonic tensions throughout, Awake is an eye-opener from start to finish. You'll ask, "How have I not heard of them?" and "I can't believe they aren't signed!" Well, [...]
