Three tales of Northside Festival 2013 in Brooklyn, NY , by Dale Eisinger, Jeremy D. Larson, and Zach Schoenfield, ~ It was late on Saturday and I was exhausted, having run from Williamsburg to Greenpoint and back and all I really wanted was to use a bathroom and then hit the sack. On my walk home, I decided I could duck into the venue Public Assembly to relieve myself—a Northside badge should at least guarantee that, right? But all plans were derailed when, at like two in the morning, as I was [...]

We laughed, we cried, we listened to a shit-ton of music this year. Given our varied tastes in music (Norah Jones! Psychedelic electro! Frank Ocean!) it was hard to pin down a definitive Top 5, so we at Death and Taxes composed our personal favorites of the year. Here are our collective 25 favorite records of 2012, in no particular order. Bat for Lashes: “The Haunted Man” Natasha Khan arose from a deep cloud of writer's block to emerge victorious with her [...]
The first week in our 2012 Annual Report has come to an end. But what an end it is: our Top 50 Songs of 2012. For this list, we took into consideration the tracks that not only spoke to the year, but each respective act's ability to grow and engage their mind, genre, and sound. That might sound spiritual and what have you, but okay, maybe you're not a fan of dreamcatchers and stuff. Whatever. Feel free to let us know what you think, including some tracks you'll take into 2013 with you. Also, stay tuned [...]
Coincidiendo con una agitada gira europea, Lambchop por estos días presenta Mr. N , un nuevo EP inspirado en el espíritu y sonido de Mr.M , su más reciente álbum, lanzado este año por City Slang. Kurt Wagner y los suyos han dejado en manos del productor Mark Nevers la creación de cuatro nuevos tracks, basados en la abstracción y tomando elementos de filmes y dibujos animados de antaño, dando como resultado algo más que una serie de remixes, con títulos como "Prelude to my hallucination" o "The coral castle".

Not sure if everyone else saw this tweet come through, but you want to know about it. Lambchop is playing a rare & free hometown show tomorrow at Nashville's newest, shiniest venue The Stone Fox. Have a look at the tweet below, and cancel all your plans for tomorrow night.
Lambchop - This Corrosion [The Sisters Of Mercy] | bx
[Copyright 2012 by Abby Nardo] While Sunn O))) were blowing minds and eardrums next door in Raleigh's Memorial Auditorium, the Nashville band Lambchop gave this year's Hopscotch Music Festival a more quiet but no less satisfying valedictory. Responsible for what is widely hailed as a career-defining record this year ( Mr. M) Lambchop have little left to prove after a 20-year career, but clearly much left to give. Frontman Kurt Wagner and the band kept the volume in this moderately-sized opera house low for almost their entire set, and a rapt and respectful crowd set [...]
morning! think this is the 4th year in a row that i am "celebrating" talk like a pirate day with lambchop. i am not even a pirate fan, but hey what the hell, right? you can buy lambchop stuff via merge and on itunes.

Lambchop has always been a great example of the power of quiet. And of the ability for a big band to make the smallest sounds. Their latest continues the path of perplexing lyrics delivered in that pre-cancerous rasp, mingled with music of ever more refined beauty. All that was brought into powerful relief when I saw them a few months back, which made me want to live in that house of whispers for as long as they could keep the noisy world at bay.

[Photo from the Three Lobed/WXDU show by Abby Nardo. All rights reserved.] The Nashville-based guitarist William Tyler was everywhere during this year's Hopscotch Music Festival . Much like improviser-in-residence Chris Corsano, festivalgoers might see Tyler pop onstage with any number of bands - and we saw his join several, including Megafaun and Hiss Golden Messenger , as well as his own Lambchop. But folks also know Tyler as a solo artist of some renown, especially after his 2010 full length, Behold the Spirit. Tyler's playing runs the gamut of influences, from [...]
We sent our intrepid photographer Blake Howell out to Hopscotch this past weekend and told him to do whatever he wanted. Well that was a bit of a mistake. He came back with over 2000 photos! So, we told him to go back and pare his album down to his favorite hundred or so. To see his complete album, CLICK HERE! Otherwise, here are some of our favorites: [...]
