Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament , singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur , and drummer Richard Stuverud have come together to form RNDM , and will release their debut LP Acts on October 30th. As Rolling Stone reports , Ament and Stuverud first met Arthur in 1990 when he opened for their project Three Fish. They reconvened a decade later at Ament's Montana home, where they spent four days recording the material that will comprise their album. Modern Times" is our first taste of the 12-track effort, and you can listen [...]
Joseph Arthur at Bowery Ballroom, May 2012 ( more by Dominick Mastrangelo ) Joseph Arthur got some crummy news today: NYC towed my van and sold it with amps and equipment and so much art in it. It's a white 2003 dodge ram. Sold yesterday. Please help recover. Anyone with any knowledge or help (lawyers) into how to deal with a city taking and selling your stuff would be greatly appreciated. I just found out about this and cant think straight but so much priceless (to me) was inside. Over 40 large scale paintings [...]
First things first: when it comes to music from thenewno2 , George Harrison comparisons will not be allowed. They're old, they're tired. Sure, Dhani Harrison looks and sounds like an echo of his father, but surely the fundamentals of genetics can't be that surprising any more. Since the quiet release of their first record, EP001 , in 2006, thenewno2 have certainly come far. What began as the twosome (Harrison on guitar and [...]
Last night HT faves Wilco concluded their three-night New York City run with a dare we say epic 28-song marathon show at Terminal 5. The gig saw the band dig deep into their catalog to pull out gems like A Magazine Called Sunset, Too Far Apart, Candyfloss and a show-closing take on the Being There track The Lonely 1. Prior to all that though, Jeff Tweedy & Co. stopped by Studio 6B in Rockefeller Plaza for their first-ever appearance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, where they performed not one, but two songs. For their on-air tune [...]
This Friday's From the Living Room to the Loft track is a very fine, very raw version of "Echo Park", a song from Joseph Arthur and his 2004 album Our Shadows Will Remain . Arthur completedd a ten-night residency at the famed Lower East Side club, combining his own uncompromising solo performances with his distinctive art, matching his eclectic songs and poetry with some impromptu drawings. Check out the full performance at the Living Room site and listen to From the Living Room to the Loft every [...]
Philip Glass at Rockefeller Park (06/20/12) Photo : Bart Babinski Not long after ATP Concerts LTD, the company behind the All Tomorrow’s Parties festivals, went into liquidation , comes the news that this year's ATP USA (Sep 21-23, 2012) will be relocated from Asbury Park, NJ to Pier 36 in Manhattan. According to the press release, the festival was relocated to NYC due to, "unavoidable logistical concerns." Pier 36 was the intended home for I'll Be Your Mirror beginning in 2013 [...]
If Joseph Arthur weren't so insanely talented you might be tempted to doubt the prolific pretense of his visual and musical art. But his talent, his gift for realizing his visions, is simply und... Continue reading "Joseph Arthur on the Unconscious Power of Art and Sound" >

Joseph Arthur is a talented singer-songwriter with a fairly dedicated fanbase, yet he stood out like a sore thumb on this bill. With the possible exception of Brett Caswell and the Marquee Rose, who went on right before Arthur, he really had nothing in common with the rest of the acts on the bill. Case in point: this evening's headliners were Hamilton hard rockers Monster Truck. A fine band certainly, but I imagine there's not a great deal of crossover between their fans. (in fact, I could be one of the few ... didn't stick around for Monster Truck though) [...]

That Brooklyn-based duo Tall Firs – comprised of Dave Mies and Aaron Mullan – look as though birthed from the same progenitors, sing with the same whisky-soaked baritone, tote similar Fenders and play said things through a solitary amp elucidates quite wondrously how they've managed to construct a record that's quite so singular in third and latest full-length, Out Of It And Into It. Within this infinite affinity lie tales of polishing off bottles of whisky, ever-victorious "devils", and the precariousness of life via the action of suicide in an unremittingly wearying yet ultimately worthwhile listen and whilst [...]
Ever wonder what will happen during the last five minutes of late-night TV talk shows?

Joseph Arthur performed "In The Dark Of Graveyard Chatter" from new album Graduation Ceremony. The Tonight Show With Jay Leno (NBC): Cee-Lo Green Rerun from February [...]
photo by Christopher Nelson Between his visual art and music, Joseph Arthur has always been a proverbial fountain of creative energy. His albums - since the release of his 1997 debut, Big City Secrets , on Peter Gabriel's Real World label - have flowed steadily at a rate of at least one every couple of years, dotted by a handful of EPs and supplemented by his side project, Fistful of Mercy . His art, which won him a Grammy for best packaging on the 1999 Vacancy EP, is so proliferative [...]
Joseph Arthur - I Miss The Zoo Joseph Arthur - Travel As Equals (Radio Edit) Those who are only familiar with Joseph Arthur 's poppier, soundtrack-friendly offerings- "Honey and the Moon" ( American Pie 3 , The O.C. ), "In The Sun" ( Saved! , The L Word , Scrubs , [...]
Mettere in fila i propri vuoti e dare un senso alle tante cose che sfuggono di mano è un esercizio faticoso. Riavvolgere i fili intrecciati delle tante idee intrappolate in una bolla di resina toglie il fiato. Giungere al momento in cui il giorno si curva è un’impresa titanica. Quotidianamente. E’ altrettanto difficile trovare un senso nell’ennesimo disco di Joseph Arthur , per giunta doppio, non molti mesi dopo “The Graduation Ceremony”, collezione di ballate autunnali fiorite in piena primavera. La curiosità si specchia e diventa una figura stanca, ma il tasto “download” resta comunque una tentazione. E così [...]
It's no secret that FOX has a habit of canceling its best shows (to this day I still want to have a serious talking to with whoever decided Arrested Development had run its course). And after a recent Lie to Me obsession this summer, I was devastated to find there was no Season 4 to continue my marathon. So consider this playlist Part 1 of a final lament to yet another show that ended before its time. Lie to Me is a drama centered around Dr. Cal Lightman (Tim Roth - [...]
