As I wrote last year : "I propose that we officially make March 4th 'Alternative Marching Band Day.' March 4th = March Forth. Geddit?" And, than ks in part to comments left by some of you good Maniacs, I've got another batch of alt-brass band goodness for ya this year. So put on your mismatched band uniforms and go marching around the house whilst listening to more spazz-jazz/non-guitar rock/Sousa-free tubas than you ca n shake a baton at: March Fourth [...]

Emblazoned upon the artwork of Laura Veirs' new album Tumble Bee is a worrying phrase: 'Laura Veirs sings folk songs for children'. But don't let that put you off. This is an album to be enjoyed by adults too. And teenagers. And those lucky older ones eligible for a free bus pass. Actually, some teenagers may deem it not 'cool' enough for their recherché tastes, but that's pure denial - they'll soon think otherwise. (I should know, being only a few years out of teenagedom myself.) No, it is not the exclusive fare of those mad li... Read more..

Gigamesh doesn't really needs introducing. This is only because you should already know all about him. One half of legendary remix team Discotech , and one half of Senor Stereo, this man knows his production. With a sleuth of brilliant Gigamesh remixes available, it was difficult to pick one, so I had to pick many.

"There's…too many of them!!" ―Lieutenant Telsij, Y-wing pilot from Return of the Jedi I should have featured this lot bloody ages ago, I have mentioned them on here often enough. For those of you who haven't heard of the Second Hand Marching Band they're an unconventional folk band comprising of multiple band members, in the same vein as say bands like the Polyphonic Spree or I'm From Barcelona. They don't necessarily sound like the aforementioned artists, you could say they're more [...]
You could be forgiven for thinking this is Sufjan and the general festive vibes don't help in any way to shake that impression. The song was recorded during a snowy spell in coldest Scotland and the collective probably felt inspired to reach for a sound that reminded them most of Christmas. Entirely odd that a song such as this should arrive in late May but then our isle has been so drenched in precipitation and howling air recently it feels all the world like the end of another year. And with half of the world's leader bedding down in the [...]

"I grew up in Europe," runs the Eddie Izzard line, "where the history comes from." And I grew up in Portland, where we are quite proud of our music scene, which began making little periodic blips starting in the 60's with the Kingsmen and Paul Revere & the Raiders, and again in the 80's with Quaterflash and the Wipers before finally gaining some serious momentum in the 90's. By now we can justifiably claim to be among a handful of musical Meccas in the United States, but being a relative newcomer to that scene, it's easy to forget that some [...]
It's almost impossible to appreciate the fact that the George Mason University marching band is covering Rage Against the Machine's "Killing in the Name Of" and "Bulls on Parade" simply because I can't decide if the flute player in red is amped up on speed or if the rest of the band is foolish for not matching her enthusiasm. Also the original headline for this post was going to be "Band dorks on parade." [via reddit ]
With a sweet acoustic vibe and a misleading band name, Swedish duo Mar ching Band return with Pop Cycle Naked EP , the follow-up to their 2008 full-length debut, Spark Large . Erik Sunbring and Jacob Lind continue on their sunny path of emo-folk rock, dwelling somewhere between the harmonies of Guster and the gentle drive of a band like Amsterdam's Moss. The lead track off the five-song collection, "It Will Never Slip", is arguably the strongest of the bunch, with its soaring, simple melody and Arcade [...]

'Georgia' is a track by Cee Lo Green. Band of Horses have covered it with The University of Georgia Redcoat Marching Band. Do you see what they did there? Band of Horses released their third album, Infinite Arms earlier this year, to much indifference on my part. But this track [Read more]
A few weeks ago, to kick-off the Memorial Day holiday, we launched our first summer mixtape of 2010.

Hér eru 6 ný eða nýleg lög sem hver tónlistarunnandi með viti verður að heyra. Þarna má m.a. finna fyrstu smáskífuna af nýjustu plötu Chemical Brothers , sem er jafnframt sjötta stúdíóplata þeirra, og lag af fimmtu plötu folk/rock sveitarinnar Wovenhand sem hita mun upp fyrir enga aðra en Tool á næstunni. Hin frábæra sænska sveit The Marching Band rekur svo lestina með lag af nýjustu plötu sinni en hennar hefur verið beðið með mikilli eftirvæntingu.

There are only a handful of Chicago street fests that really do a good job of booking music. This weekend's Do Division fest is one. There are two stages, one curated by Empty Bottle and other by House Call Entertainment, the guys who book Subterranean and Beat Kitchen. Headliners Saturday are Yacht and the Hood Internet. Sunday's closers are the Night Marchers and Jason Isbell (formerly of Drive-By Truckers). Other acts include Pelican, Headlights, Poison Arrows, Sybris and CoCoComa. [...]
