Grab your best girl or guy and feast your ears on a couple of ironic and thoughtful St Valentine's nuggets. No chocolate, no flowers, no stuffed animals and no cards. Just some songs about love, sex, divorce, loneliness, isolation, heartbreak, pain and romance. You know, the usual. For a change I don't have much to say except start your downloading. Some of them are funny, some of them are sad, some of them are heartfelt and some of them are not. Some of them you know well, some of them you don't. Some of them you thought you might've heard [...]
In one of New Orleans' few instances where sports reigned over music, the super bowl has cast many into a week-long, universalized hangover. It permits locals to do, well, whatever they want as long as it is celebratory of the Saints. Even after its recent natural disasters, New Orleans is unarguably one of the most [...]
Filed under: The Hit List They say you have to love yourself before you can love anyone else. And that's good therapeutic advice -- unless, of course, you love yourself too much, causing everyone to hate you. Singers celebrate self-love in many ways: There are healthy songs about empowerment, songs that boast about one's perceived talents, and there are songs about, ah, you know ... touching it. In fact, there are quite a few songs about touching it. With Valentine's Day upon us, we decided to show that even [...]

Sounds exactly like a Shins album produced by Danger Mouse.

Crater Lake is located in Southern Oregon on the crest of the Cascade Mountains . It lies inside a caldera (a large crater formed by volcanic explosion or by collapse of a volcanic cone) created when the 12,000 foot high Mount Mazama collapsed 7,700 years ago following a large eruption. The lake, supplied by an average of 533 inches of snow per year, is 1,943 feet deep, making it the deepest lake in the United States and the seventh deepest in the world. MP3: Liz Phair [...]

Frank Yang When I got all effusive about seeing Austin's Ume way back at SxSW in March, it wasn't just because they their showcase blew me away - it did - but because I also figured that it would be my last chance to see and write about the trio until SxSW next year, so there was no point in being measured. After all, they were a small band with no label, no tour support and hailing from a long ways away from Toronto meant the odds of catching them up live again [...]

So at this time, there is no news to put out there. That doesn't mean there won't be any later. But what are you going to do till then? You have to have something to fill the gap. Well with that said, I have made a mixtape of stuff I have been listening to over the last six months. Some of the music is new and some of it is old. But what a great day to spend the day.

been listening to exile in guyville quite a bit as of late, after probably 2-3 years without listening to it much, if at all. no doubt that it's a brilliant record, and remains in my top 5 of all time, but are people still buying it or listening to it? is it one of those records that is going to be bought and consumed years from now, like its counterpart exile on mainstreet , the white album , blonde on blonde , london calling and other records deemed "classics?" me thinks it would [...]

Polly Scattergood Polly Scattergood Mute Release Date: 05.19.09 The evolution of the female solo artist over the past fifteen years has been a curious one. My generation grew up on solid, strong voices with apparent themes and lyrical twists. Tori Amos , Beth Orton , and Bjork were wildly different, but carried about them an obvious gravity; even Liz Phair's sexual irreverence was rooted in the serious problem of sexual inequality. Through the years, this picture of the solo female as singer-songwriter has shifted in interesting and [...]

Click here to view the embedded video. Woah, 1994. For those that are into celebrating and stuff. Did you know that today is not just a day for drinking Corona's and tequilla, but is actually a celebration in the state of Puebla (not so much the rest of the country) that commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely defeat of French forces at the Battle of Puebla on this day in 1862, under the leadership of Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín . Until that point, the French army [...]
