Alright, this weekend, and the beginning of this week so far, has found me digging up all sorts of great music because of a little thing called Finals week. Not for me, since I graduated last year, but everyone and anyone I hang out with are buried in the books. So, I've been holed up in my room these last few nights going through my monthly goldrush of new music after quite a while without anything too new or interesting. Happens every month, but this time around there's been about twice as much new music. Can't [...]

Langhorne Slim is fun....fun...that's right...fun. It's a young Dylan/Guthrie dancing around the room with a band of merry friends, spicing up keys, strings, horns, accordions, and percussion all night long. It's a revival holmes and you're invited! Based out of Brooklyn, but originally from Langhorne, PA, Slim plays this raw folk like it was conducted by Tom Waits or even Dan Deacon (maybe that's because they attended the same school and Dan Deacon played tuba for 'em). It's just infectiously pleasant all around. Langhorne Slim's S/T came out on April 29th via [...]
This is a little mp3 bootleg that I know nothing about. It was called the "Out of Control Studio Sessions," but I can't find information about it. If anyone out there has a little background, please drop a comment about it. I suspect it's from 1984, when Joe fired Topper and Mick, [...]
"If you've got worries, then you're like me . . ." These are the opening lines of "Worries," the rare piano-based track from Langhorne Slim's self-titled full-length. "Worries" is a little more twee and a little more sentimental than every other cut on the record, but that opening couplet pretty much sums up his appeal: [...]
Yow, I'm running late today! Stumbled on this performance from a few weeks ago by Pennsylvania-born troubadour Langhorne Slim aka Sean Scolnick on Dave Letterman's show. One of his songs was used in the movie Waitress , he's done a Daytrotter session and, um, frankly I have no more time to add to any of this...don't believe the hype(!) without checking him out for yourself its good stuff Maynards: [...]

This week's long laundry list of amazing bands waiting to be heard, features the first Portishead album in over ten years, aptly named Third . The talent is still there and the album is packed with great songs. 65daysofstatic also released an EP this week that sounds like it is ready to be played on tour with The Cure. Other releases that I can recommend are A Town and Two Cities by Your Vegas and Santogold's self-titled release. 65daysofstatic The Distant and Mechanized Glow of Eastern European Dance Parties [...]
Eleanor Jane Parsons We Carry On - Portishead Carry on as in muddle through , grimly persevere, make do, endure-- it's all so characteristically English, though not uniquely so. These days, we Americans are muddling through til the next election, many of us holding our breath and crossing our fingers that the Dems don't fuck it up again. We carry on, despite economic news more dire by the day and the contradictory message that it's [...]
MAY DAY! Celebrate it at Baltimore's Charm City Art Space with Denton, Texas' own Fishboy, The Up Set, Thee Lexington Arrows, and Markitect. Or perhaps you would like to go to DC for RJD2 and Happy Chichester at the 9:30 Club. Another option is Langhorne Slim performing at Iota. Finally you could head north to see Steve Goldberg and the Archenemies perform at The Fire in Philly with Sarah White and Sleeper Car. mp3: RJD2 - Beyond --> website --> buy mp3: Langhorne Slim - Restless [...]
Marni Wandner from Sneak Attack Media deserves a lot of praise for his perseverance. Not only does he send out regular emails, of which I am a recipient, but he also mails me the occasional physical copy of an album regardless of whether or not I reviewed the previous album {or dozen}. And now I've just realized I really have no idea as to the gender associated with the name Marni... so here's to you, androgynous Marni, thanks for the hard work. On this occasion I had the privilege of opening a package containing [...]
When I first saw Langhorne Slim two years ago, playing in the student union of my tiny Pennsylvania college, I was completely blown away. With the rest of his rowdy, expressive band (Paul Defiglia, Malachi DeLorenzo), Langhorne filled the entire room with his own brand of driven folk. An extra kudos goes to Defiglia who put on an impressive upright bass performance. Langhorne Slim plays music with every ounce of himself. This is the kind of small stage jam band that should lead the rest of the Americana pack. Langhorne's new, self titled album hits [...]
Well if you missed any of the superb shows in Philly last night, you have a chance to check them out in DC tonight, butmaybe you want to stick to Baltimore. The Recher Theatre has a great one with Josh Ritter and Langhorne Slim. In DC the Black Cat has Tokyo Police Club, Meligrove Band and Smoosh, while the 9:30 Club has Atmosphere. mp3: Tokyo Police Club - Centennial --> website --> buy mp3: Atmosphere - That Night --> website --> buy [...]
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ... E' notizia recente l'assegnazione del premio Pulitzer alla carriera per Bob Dylan . Il menestrello per eccellenza, Mr. Tambourine Man, l'uomo che ha segnato un'epoca ed influenzato quelle a venire, ha visto riconosciuto l'enorme impatto della sua musica e delle sue parole sulla cultura americana. Quasi preveggendo l'onoreficenza, Langhorne Slim , ventisettenne della Pennsylvania di stanza a New York, lo omaggia con un album che è [...]
Wow . That's my initial reaction after hearing the dramatic shift in sound from Langhorne Slim . From a one man band who strummed the hell out of his acoustic and rocked a serious bowler hat, Slim has made the jump to a man with a plan, and a full band. The songs on Diamonds and Gold are remarkably fleshed out, but to me the results are just as exciting as his stripped down work. Mixing in keyboards, drums, cello but still keeping the intensity, I think Diamonds and Gold will finally get Langhorne Slim [...]
My permanent New Year's resolutions are always to be a little more organized, plan things, go to more shows. Its almost April and I've gone to plenty of shows - kind of plan things - but just now getting to the more organized part. So, I've decided maybe I can ...
Your team out of the tournament? Got a little cabin fever? Luckily, there are plenty of good shows rolling through the region this weekend, most doing double duty in Baltimore/DC and Philly. After spending the better part of this decade living in Austin, the must-see show for me this weekend is Ghostland Observatory . Unfortunately, they are only hitting DC, but you can see them Saurday night at the 9:30 Club . Hopefully, they will hit Philly soon. Ghostland Observatory - Robotique Majestique [...]
