HANK ALTOGETHER: Some days its good to get up earlier than your used to. Today brings the revelation that Marissa Nadler is getting in on the blog business. And the bonus is, unlike us who just harp at you at about music and what we like, Ms. Nadler is actually offering up some amazing tracks. In particular a wonderful cover of Townes Van Zandt 's classic "Colorado Girl" with Carter Tanton of one of the most overlooked bands of 07 Tulsa singing backup. I hope you enjoy [...]
Marissa Nadler - "Colorado Girl" - mp3 Anyone that knows us is aware that we have a pretty huge love of Townes Van Zandt. So you can imagine our excitement when we stumbled upon a cover of Van Zandt's "Colorado Girl" sung by none other than another (more current) favorite, Marissa Nadler. Nadler has started her own blog where she has been posting videos and unreleased material. This song blends Nadler's haunting vocal style with Van Zandt's lonesome sound to make the ultimate autumnal track. Enjoy. As reported by GVB .
delia derbyshire Thanks to ISO50 for posting this amazing recording of Delia Derbyshire 's utterly haunting 1964 sound collage, " Dreams ," in which Derbyshire set "a collection of spliced/reassembled interviews" of people relating details of their recurring dreams (or nightmares) against her own "dissonant, often terrifying musique concrete soundbeds..." Listen alone in the dark for the full effect. mp3: delia derbyshire :: dreams pt. 4: sea (1964 UK radio) While browsing other Delia Derbyshire recordings [...]
The umbrella and raincoat have always been autumn motifs for arists across the years. The semantics of these two words can vary from artists to artist; they can signify protection, depression (rain can do that to 'ya) or, in Leonard Cohan / Marissa Nadler 's case, nostalgia. " Famous Blue Raincoat " is the name of Marissa Nadler's cover present on her latest disk "Songs III: Birds on The Water," a song originally penned by master Leonard Cohen (click here for the original ). Marissa definitely did an awesome job with the song, her soothing voice going perfectly [...]

Listening to the new Stars EP, Sad Robots, is like enduring a long day of work with absolutely nothing to do, you waste some time on Myspace, you go outside to smoke, hell you do anything but work and when you listen to this EP you do anything but listen to this EP. It's because listening to this album is boring and there's really nothing to it. It's stretched far too thin, there's too little of

I'm not sure how many of you have been reading this page for a while, but some of you may remember last summer's "The Great Chili Cook-off That Never Was" . 368 days ago, I tried to attend the Beverly Hills Farmer's Market Chili Cook-off. I showed up too late, and lamented my misfortunate for longer than I should have considering I didn't have a job or anything to do that day anyway. Nevertheless, when I saw this past week that somebody had Google'd "Beverly Hills Farmers Market Chili Cook-off", I got to thinking that maybe it was an [...]
Marissa Nadler - Diamond Heart label: My Kung Fu jaar: 2006 kant a: Diamond Heart kant b: Leather Made Shoes www.marissanadler.com | www.myspace.com/songsoftheend Een aanrader van mijn favoriete platenboerin. Ik kende juffrouw Nadler heel niet, maar deze single bevalt me zeer. Simpele doch effectieve folk van een stem die als een Lorelei de luisteraar linea recta naar de krochten van de geest doet afdalen, meer moet dat soms niet [...]

Marissa Nadler - Trouble This is a beautifully stark and soothing take on the Cat Stevens song from 1970, Nadler's lovely whispered vocals wrapping up the melody in a whisper. She has just completed recording her new album and there are a few sneak peeks of the material from recent live shows floating around on YouTube. MySpace Photo by carmendevos
A long weekend of solo parenting while my wife headed off to Sonoma County for a long-overdue vacation has left me too exhausted for deep thought. Happily, thanks to reader emails, new releases and new discoveries, I've got plenty of material for yet another installment of our popular (Re)Covered series, wherein we recover songs that dropped through the cracks too late to make it into the posts where they belonged. A few weeks back, when my laptop went kablooie, Jamie -- host of the ever-miraculous coverblog Fong Songs [...]
Marissa Nadler isn't going to be playing Terrastock 7.

Here is the message we received from the organizers of Terrastock: One bit of sad news....Marissa [...]

Konzertberichte sind unnötig, weil sie - je nach Geschmack - von Belanglosem handeln oder zu spät sind, und der Leser genau diesen denkwürdigen Abend schweren Herzens verpasst hat. Aber greifen nicht gerade sie nach dem Kern, nach der Bestimmung von Musik? (more...)
