dass bonnie 'prince' billy ein beweglicher musiker ist, beweisen nicht nur seine unzähligen scheiben, auch seine kollaborationen. das war in der vergangenheit so und ist auch fürderhin geplant. zwei tonträger, die sich in der nahen zukunft aufdrängen, sollen hier kurz thematisiert werden. da ist zum einen die zusammenarbeit mit mariee sioux , die in einer 4track ep kulminiert, die ganz simpel "bonnie & mariee" heißen wird. sie wird zwei originale und zwei coverversionen enthalten. die titel lesen sich wie folgt: not mocked / bird child [...]
In 2008, Matt Bauer released The Island Moved In The Storm , one of our favorite records of that year that has continued to hold its weight in rotation since. Earlier this year Bauer released The Jessamine County Book Of The Living , a continuation of greatness which demonstrates Bauer's a firm grasp on the songwriting craft. If you live in Austin be sure to catch Matt Bauer at Waterloo Records at 5pm this Wednesday and later that night at the Mohawk . Both [...]
spirit-songwriter A true friend sitting next to my soul. Talking with me. Laying in a green field on a hill. Wildflowers dance the breeze. Sun shines... bright blue sky... curious clouds mozy by. Trees and forests are not too far away. Hills and valley, mostly. Talking about anything. Stars, dreams - what we enjoy or what others destroy. Comforts found together. Mariee Sioux's Faces in the Rocks reaches me almost [...]
Last time around, Seaweed Sway brought us a tribute to Buffy Sainte-Marie . For Friday, June 11th, the Sway folks have put together "Lyres & Lace - Music and Fashion of the Romantic and Bizarre." This will entail performances by Mariee Sioux , Foxtails Brigade , and Judgement Day (acoustic, with friends), and various fashion on display by Isabelle Le, Black Lotus Clothing, and more. Foxtails Brigade - "Chat With Sivan" Judgement Day - "Out of the Abyss" [...]
Ik ben er weer 'ns ingetrapt: ik heb weer een tribute album gekocht. Maar deze keer is het wel een erg mooie. Be Yourself is niet alleen een tribute met songs van Graham Nash . Het is zelfs een eerbetoon aan het album Songs for Beginners van Nash. Alle songs van het album komen langs, zelfs in dezelfde volgorde als op het vinyl. Grass Roots Records is er in geslaagd een indrukwekkende lijst met artiesten warm te krijgen voor Be Yourself. Zo kom je Vetiver tegen, maar ook Port O'Brien [...]

Die Wurzeln des Folksongs „The Cuckoo" reichen bis ins 18. Jahrhundert zurück. Durch die Welt geistert das Stück bis heute. Der Urheber dieses sehnsüchtigen Stücks, das vom Schicksal eines heimatlosen Glückspielers erzählt, ist unbekannt. Im späten 18. Jahrhundert beginnt der englische Folksong erstmals auf Notenblättern aufzutauchen. Darauf fliegt "The Cuckoo" über den Atlantik, worauf der Song [...]
And the list goes on... 40. Andrew jackson Jihad - Can't Maintain ( Asian Man Recordings ) What? Folkpunk opens their bloody doors to wider horizons. Andrew Jackson Jihad have made my list before in 2007, cause back then they made a huge impression on me with their Fuck-in-your-face Folk punk. The songs were about murders, misantropy and other difficult words that we can't spell properly. This year they have [...]
I was never a real fan of goth-rock, though as I've written about before, pretty much anything that made the Top 40 in the 80s seems to linger in the minds and hearts of both my own generation and the artists it has since spawned. And The Cure was undeniably the most prevalent band of its type in mainstream mall culture when I was growing up: in my early adolescence, I dated several girls with somber black-and-white Robert Smith posters on their bedroom walls, and - looking back - can only suppose that the band's [...]
After a lengthy lull due to numerous circumstances, the Show Worthy posts return. Truman Peyote at MassArt Tuesday, June 23 Team Robespierre , Chinese Stars , Big Digits , Truman Peyote at The Middle East Upstairs ($9, 8:00, 18+) Warning: this show is only for those ready to fucking dance . Every single one of these motherfuckers is going to bring it and bring it hard. Do, [...]
Ok so just take my word and listen to this track. Steel Drums. Friend has an ep coming out titled Shima soon. Steel Drums. The video at their myspace has footage by legendary Chinese film maker Wong Kar-Wai. Steel Drums. Friend-Doki Flowers and Blood Posted: 20 May 2009 11:15 PM PDT I recently moved back to Northern California and have been playing some of my semi-local favorites like it
Alela Diane comes from a town that was famous first for a gold rush and is famous now for its music, which tends toward the kind of thing that would show up on a brand new anthology of American folk. She shares a song on her new album To Be Still with Michael Hurley and speaks now before a show at Hollywood Forever. This interview by Thomas McMahon.
A Return To The Simpler Things Cycles in music are pretty reliable, in a fluid sort of way. Even in the age of digital distribution and low-cost production, the trends appear like they have been since the late Sixties. The...
Oh look, there's a copy of December's Cosmopolitan magazine next to me, and it happens to be open to a page whose title screams, "45 Cosmo Girl Crises - Solved Instantly!" Yeah, right. I bet I can un solve all of those solved crises just as immediately as they were solved! This isn't technically a Friday Top Ten list, it's a Friday Forty-Five list. We'll return to our regular schedule next week. And, oh, by the way, Stephen got the riddle correct. The guy puts both condoms on his dick at once. Then He fucks [...]
Around the internet, what is new around the blogs, top news, and the like...more or less. ~~ HearYa had a nice post on what to look forward to in 2009, and The Deep Dark Woods right after it! Yours Truly is making a splash - well, with my friend E over at das klienicum at least...but seriously check out the Theodore interview here , my new favourite 'slow as molasses' (mostly) Americana act. Kirkeby Kritikk has some ancient [...]
der tausendste post. irre. anfangs hatte ich an eine recht kurze angelegenheit geglaubt. eine persönliche sammlung wichtiger bands, labels, alben. es nahm seinen lauf. zwischendrin wollte ich hinschmeissen. es mangelte nicht an ideen und stoff, nur an der aufmerksamkeit, die man dem einzelnen werk, der band, dem künstler entgegen bringen konnte. daran hat sich auch nichts geändert. musik ist ein tagesgeschäft, ein blog auch. dann wurde vor uns gewarnt, google ermächtigte sich, uns als bedrohung anzusehen. schwamm drüber. weiter gehts. labrador stellt uns eine neue band vor [...]
Quoi? Encore un top 2008? Eh, inutile de nier, vous adorez ça, mon compteur de stats est là pour le prouver . Et puis comme les filles n'occupaient pas une place très importante dans mon top albums, j'ai pensé qu'elles méritaient d'avoir leur top à elles, parce qu'il y a quand même eu de très beaux albums féminins cette année. Voici donc selon moi les 10 meilleurs albums féminins de l'année (vous noterez que, pour changer, je n'ai pas mis les pochettes mais les photos des artistes...): [...]
So, another addition to my big list. I've already started listening to stuff from 2009 (hello Andrew Bird), and some albums that maybe could end up in the 2008-list if i'd made it next year, but right now, we'll just keep on going. 20. Scary Mansion - Every Joke is Half The Truth ( Zum Records ) Sounds like: There can never be enough Early Cat Power-clones, if they are as good as this. Scary [...]
A few months ago daniel flew to california to watch some bands play in the woods while he camped near an evil river and took pictures of young men and women with navajo rugs as clothes and drugs as thoughts and when the music and the circular dancing stopped he sat around a fire and asked people questions about God that he wrote down into a beautiful magazine that fader gave to the world yesterday. Here Mariee Sioux [...]
In 1968 werd in de buurt van Georgetown, Kentucky een jong meisje dood aangetroffen op een weggetje niet ver van de Eagle Creek. Matt Bauer groeide daar in de buurt op en het verhaal inspireert hem nu tot het maken van het prachtige The Island Moved in the Storm. Niet alleen op de hoesfoto's speelt de dood een belangrijke rol, ook in de poëtische teksten komt de dood en afscheid naast de natuur vaak terug. Het tempo van de muziek ligt laag, de songs slepen zich bij wijze van spreken voort. Bepalend zijn die zo herkenbare [...]
