The Wall Street Journal wrote an interesting article about Buddy Holly's optometrist. That's not something most people would think about when it comes to music, but fashion has been significantl... Continue reading "Looking Glass: Rock Music's Five Most Famous Four Eyes (Other Than Buddy Holly)" >
During several years as the head buyer for a very large record store, I had a few dozen label reps wooing me on a regular basis. As they were giving me stuff, I was receptive to being wooed and I got along quite well with all of them except for the one we'd dubbed Dodgeball. He went behind my back to get an order for some long-forgetten band called Space Monkeys. (no one needs 300 copies of Space Monkeys - not in 1997, not now, not ever) One rep who I always got a [...]

Tourmates collide on this Mayer Hawthorne cover of Chromeo's "When the Night Falls". For the cover, Mr. Hawthorne enlists a beat that could double for Steely Dan's "Do It Again" and laces it up with all the cool dad music trappings one could ever want. Ever wanted to feel hard on a fresh King Harvest or Looking Glass vibe , give Mayer's "When the Night Falls" a spin. Mayer Hawthorne - When the Night Falls (Chromeo) Mayer Hawthorne [...]
Bathed in muted colors, the music video for Sleepy Rebels' "Looking Glass" is as serene as the song itself.

Suite des aventures musicales du duo Arca (" on ne distinguait plus les têtes ") avec, cette fois, un double album avec deux parties bien distinctes, bien que le tout ait été composé et arrangé pour un spectacle chorégraphique contemporain, "Arrêt de jeu", mis en scène en 2006 par Pierre[...]

With sounds of dreamy synthpop, Teeel's Amulet hypnotizes, a wall of electronic sounds fluctuating from a mild cascade to a driving pulse. The one-man project of Jim Smith, Teeel's debut LP professes a nostalgic love for the synthesizer, via compositions that combine the barely Balearic, Italo disco and new wave. Trying everything together are Smith's drowsy vocals that roll lazily amongst the beats. Fans of indie pop and drone electronica alike will find common ground with Amulet . Teeel's Amulet is out tomorrow [...]

Chicago-based producer Void Pedal is set to release his album Omni-Colour on February 22nd through Fieldwerk Recordings and below, we have the single "Looking Glass." I would recommend this for fans of instrumental hip-hop. " Omni-Colour combines a traditional hip hop approach of sampling drum breaks with well structured layers of accessible analog synthesizer riffs to create genre defying hip hop instrumentals with a pop sensibility." Filed under: LISTEN TO THIS , Music Tagged: Fieldwerk Recordings [...]

Void Pedal " Looking Glass ": Chicago births some sick producers – cats like Kanye West , No I.D. , J Slikk , Radius and others all hail from that part of the map, and craft some fire. Void Pedal is another Chicago beatsmith who is dropping his album, Omni Colour , on the 22nd of February via Fieldwerk. Loving the synthwork on this track; some ill cyberfunk to help the time fly quicker whilst being stuck in a cubicle, I say. Keep the faith. [...]

Void Pedal is a Chicago-bred producer, readying a fresh instrumental LP, Omni Colour . The set will be available for free download on 2/22/11 via Fieldwerks Recordings, and features Void display his vast repertoire ranging from Hip Hop break beats, to darker and more layered compositions. Here we have "Looking Glass", which is somewhere in the middle, adding depth and colors to a more traditional boom bap sound. This perfect for a party transition, an adventurous freestyle, or just something to zone out to. You can download the song after the jump, as well as see a video for [...]

On Omni-Colour, Chicago based producer Void Pedal offers a vast array of instrumentals ranging from the dark and atmospheric "Let It Fall" to upbeat party jams "Looking Glass" and "Parachute". Omni-Colour combines a traditional hip hop approach of sampling drum breaks with well structured layers of accessible analog synthesizer riffs to create genre defying hip hop instrumentals with a pop sensibility. Void Pedal recently toured the U.S. with Pigeon John, DJ Abilities and [...]

I stumbled across Deliverance the other night and stopped. After a grueling day under the flourescent lights of an office, a commute from hell, and the rawness of a dark winter's day in early January, does anything goose the spirits like a river trip to Aintry, hillbillies, and Ned Beatty getting sodomized? I checked out before the mountain man lovin', but I did watch the early part of the movie. I barely remember the hulabaloo surrounding the movie when it came out in the '70s. I do recall it airing [...]
Woolfy's new EP, crafted from the biggest track on his debut album If You Know Whats Good For Ya! , is most definitely a grower. For me anyway, it didn't impress much on first listen, but I keep coming back to it, and can't help myself. Everytime I listen to it I find something else I like. The original, the Foolish Felix remix and the Canyons remix are all great, but for me I think the acid house musings of the Canyons remix tips it for me. Buy it all here on Beatport. Woolfy - Looking [...]

It can be difficult to stand out among the thousands and thousands of bands that hawk their wares on MySpace. More so, if you have the same name as two other bands. The name at first brings to mind the band who had a single hit in the seventies with 'Brandy' (covered by the Red Hot Chili Peppers on 'Live in Hyde Park') and disbanded in the same decade. A quick search suggests another group, who describe themselves as rock/blues/psychedlic which 'sounds like your ears melting'. Read more..
BEST FOOT FORWARD - LOOKING GLASS from Looking Glass on Vimeo . Looking Glass , the side-project from My Sad Captains ' Jim Wallis , have made a song from their upcoming "The First Real Target" EP available for free download on their bandcamp-page. Like his debut-album (also available from Bandcamp), this is mostly kept in an acoustic style. In my ears this is even better than the songs on his debut (which I liked a lot), - a more developed sound and a really good song. Can't wait for [...]

Looking Glass: Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) [ purchase ] I was at an acoustic jam last night, and during our dinner break, we started throwing out the names of songs we wanted to learn. Someone suggested "Brandy", and someone else laughed derisively. I came to the aid of the first person, because I've always loved this catchy story song. At some point in the past decade of so, I discovered the Looking Glass formed in New Brunswick, N.J., further endearing the song to me. [...]
