Speaking of snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes, I worked my last December day of the year on Friday, and now am settling in to two luscious weeks of time off over the holidays (one of the hidden benefits of working in academia!). Before the college closed, on one of the snowiest and coldest days of the year I went to the radio studio and recorded my third year-end appearance on NPR's World Cafe with David Dye , and we chatted about some of my favorite albums from this year. You can listen [...]

Check out the above video of an acoustic performance from Langhorne Slim . It's really just a taste of Langhorne's upcoming tour, which kicks off on January 21 at Maxwell's in Hoboken, NJ (sadly, that sounds like it will the one and only New York City area date on this tour).

There have been a number of just announced concerts that I've added to the Muzzle of Bees Shows Page . We are now housing all Madison , Milwaukee , and Chicago shows on a single show page . We've made sure to clearly denote what cities each show is taking place. It makes for a lot more manageable and updated schedule. We're pretty excited about it, please make sure to bookmark it . Just Announced: 1/26 - Langhorne Slim [...]
In September Langhorne Slim was in town staying with drummer Malachi DeLorenzo for a few days before heading out on tour supporting their fantastic new album, Be Set Free . We previously shared " Land of Dreams ," the first installment of our multiple part video series that we were fortunate to capture in between radio appearances and a performance at the Exclusive Co . This time through, we've got the title track, "Be Set Free." Enjoy! Previously: Muzzle of [...]
I feel confident that a mind blowing album deserving of a spot on this list isn't going to be released in the next few weeks (I could be wrong and we will deal with that situation when it occurs). So without further ado here is the first half of our top albums of 2009. We will roll out the next couple of segments throughout the remainder of this week. Feel free to mock, bitch, praise or just discuss in the comments section. Entries 40 - 21 after the jump... [...]
We all know the money for bands these days is selling products that simply aren't music (t-shirts and such). Sake of the Song was recently launched to help artists sell these sort of products. There are some pretty interesting items on the site, such as the mittens by Au Revoir Simone pictured to the left. There are also prints by O'Death , headbands by Astrid Quay , canvas bags by Langhorne Slim , and much much more. Head over to www.sakeofthesong.com to check it all out.
Aside from making heaps upon heaps of great, anguish-or-glee-filled music all day long, today's artists much of the time also dabble in the other definitions of what it means to be an "artist"--by which we mean they utilize other means...
Got some Langhorne Slim shit to share with you.MP3:I Love You But Goodbye - Langhorne Slim
In September Langhorne Slim was in town staying with drummer Malachi DeLorenzo for a few days before heading out on tour supporting their fantastic new album, Be Set Free . In between radio appearances and a performance at the Exclusive Co , we hooked up to record a handful of songs in video form. The first installment is " Land of Dreams, " a delicate love song anchored by Jeff Ratner's upright bass and steady brush beat of Malachi DeLorenzo. When Langhorne's [...]

If it's December at You Ain't No Picasso, then it's time for Mixmas! Every year I like to turn YANP over to some of my favorite bands to showcase some of their favorite songs through a themed mix. They pick a theme, five songs that fit the theme and then share a little about why [...]

Enjoy his absolutely stellar performance of 'Say Yes' in the feature below. MP3: Langhorne Slim - I Love You But Goodbye
You can tell when a bit's falling flat usually by midweek...like this one is. I tell ya, the vinyl collectors and the blog frequenters are one quiet bunch. Hundreds and hundreds of these 'Rate That Record' downloads later—nary a peep in response. I don't get it... Perhaps I need to snap some pictures of my meal at some local hot spot. Shoot some kissy face photos or better yet photograph 'The Door of the Day.' Whee. Or ponder the nature of the struggling transit system. Or discuss PMS and shoes. That – THAT will engender comments, [...]
