I know I said I was going to have the second part of this Christmas mix up on Wednesday, but I didn't want to overload everyone after those lists that were put up by Pablo and Chandler. Here it is though, and hopefully you enjoy these and use them over the holidays. I don't have much to add really, but I prefer this half as there were some excellent holiday tracks courtesy of some lovely swedes that I came across. This will probably be my last post until after Christmas so we'll see you then and happy [...]
Fox n'Wolf : Youth Alcoholic (12", 2004) Kaki King : Yellowcake (Until We Felt Red, 2006) Knife, The : Christmas Reindeer (2000) Stolen Minks, The : Stop Talking (Family Boycott, 2006) Sunny Day In Glasgow, A : The Best Summer Ever (The Sunniest Day Ever EP, 2006)
Bora Yoon opened up last night, with a performance-arty, loop-heavy set; her use of found sound was creative, but didn't always work--cell phones yes, windchimes no. There were some very lovely and meticulously layered constructions, and some unsuccessful theatricality; but overall she was a good opener, as they often are at Passim. Kaki King was an interesting show. Her vocal style is one I can't often take happily song after song: whispery, silky and wispy as babyhair. Given the amount of [...]
Heroes and Villains - "Gene Clark" What have Heroes and Villains done?! Something, befitting their name, as heroic as it is villainous. They have released a song into the late Montreal fall that captures the greyness of that time and place. In their Montreal, as in mine, the curtains are always drawn since the sun is always set. The planes overhead are there to remind us of Gene Clark, who was afraid of flying and worried himself to a premature death; the bicycles are for Nico, who crashed hers, the cars for Camus, James Dean, Jackson Pollock, the ships sail [...]

Één woord: Rust. Meer kan ik niet zeggen over de muziek van Kaki King.Kaki King is, hoewel haar naam doet vermoeden dat ze de crème de lacrème is van de Kakis, een mooie vrouw met een voorliefde voor gitaren.Op haar nieuwe cd ...Until We Felt Red horen we Kaki vol passie zowel deakoestische als de elektrische gitaren bespelen, zowel met een rustige on-dertoon als met juist het tegenovergestelde d...
guitar // progressive folk Busking in the New York City subway convinced Miss King that pursuing a career in music was worthwhile. Passerbys would ask for CDs, and while she didn't have them initially, a performance at The Knitting Factory and a chance encounter with Velour Records head Jeff Krasno changed all that. Kaki King's notoriety developed from her fret-tapping technique ( video ) featured on her earlier instrumental CDs. With her latest release, her imaginative songwriting and manual talent meet her tender voice. Tranquil and honest [...]

I'm not going to dictate what new music you should listen to, but here are some new albums I'm liking at the moment. Xiu Xiu - Air Force I think so far this is my favorite overall release by Xiu Xiu . Its produced by Deerhoof's Greg Saunier who also drums in some of the record. I really appreciate the closing track "The Wig" which is a weird kind of narrative by Jamie Stewart. ("Do you want to see my [...]
Sorry for the lack of posts from me but i've been pretty busy as of late. I'm currently adjusting to a new schedule with classes starting and my work place. Anywho, the regular features here will still continue and i'll probably get back to regular posting this week but if not then at least you know what's going on. Enjoy these random tracks! Shuffling these songs is pretty fun, as the list
Any guitarist worth their stones should know Kaki King. Aside from being rather cute (in the lip-pierced, musician kind of way), she taught herself how to play guitar in a totally unique style you'll notice immediately if you ever see her live or in a video. She was born to play guitar, essentially. Each CD is a tutorial in beautiful awesome. Ok? ok. "Until We Felt Red" is a languishing
Kaki King . . . Until We Felt Red Velour , 2006 Over the last four or so years, my buddy Chris Boat and I have discussed something we call 'writer music'--music that's so ethereal, epic, and background that you can play it while writing; the whole of the Godspeed You! Black Emperor discography, for instance. Kaki King, for the whole of her career, has [...]
New York City, NY Kaki King has quite the uniqie style of playing guitar that combines fingertapping with slap-bass. Much of her latest release, …Until We Felt Red , focuses on instrumental acoustic guitar with singing on only a few of the tracks. She’s now touring the U.S. and Canada to promote her new album and playing with a full backing band for the first time. I'll be seeing her September 10 at The State Theatre . [...]
"World on Fire" by Jed and Lucia is a wonderful electronic folk number off of their album Candles in Daylight. It's simple, elegant, potent, and perfect to start a Sunday morning. Jed and Lucia - World on Fire.mp3 Have I told you lately how awesome Galaxie 500 was? No? Well they were quite the awesome band. "Here She Comes Now" is a Velvet Underground cover that can be found on the expanded release of Galaxie 500's 1990 album This is Our Music. Galaxie 500 [...]
This week gives us an abundance of wonderful new album releases. With the lackluster offering from last week, this definitely makes up for that in impressive fashion. Most of these I haven't listened to in their entirety, but i've heard enough to warrant a recommendation and/or should just get mentioned anyways. Please sample these songs and buy the albums! The Delgados | The Complete BBC Peel Sessions The Delgados | "Primary Alternative" The Delgados [...]
In preparation for a new album, it becomes fitting to revisit an artists older work, and in doing so various thoughts and memories are too revisited. Re-experiencing Kaki King’s live performances revealed a longing for her music that was unbeknownst to me at the time. While refreshing memories, a number of videos became suitable [...]
