Frank Yang It probably amounts to some sort of Can-rock heresy, but I think I actually like Bry Webb on his own more than I ever did with Constantines . I fully acknowledge why many hold the Cons up as one of the greatest Canadian rock acts of the past however many years/decades/centuries - I've seen them live , I know what they were capable of - but the fact is, his solo debut Provider has captivated me more than any of the [...]

Na produção de Out of the Game , álbum descrito por [...]
Winter. You may not like it, but you cannot escape it. Unless you live somewhere where they don't have winter, then kudos, you have escaped winter! For the rest of us though, it's best to find some way to enjoy these frigid months. Outdoor activities are fine and dandy, goodness knows our new skating oval here in Halifax has been a huge hit by all accounts, but if you're looking for something indoors, intimate and musical, then the 2012 edition of the In The Dead of Winter festival is a must. As has become [...]
by Christopher Paragraph Martha Wainwright @ City Winery - 11/21/2011 ( photo by IreneSenra ) Nath-Ann Carrera started the night off with a handful of songs that inhabited a unique place between standard country western ballads and bizarre gay-themed narratives. It was clear from his opening monologue that this was a performer who was about more than just the music (he stepped out, barefoot, in a short white gown and brown headdress.) Carrera performed songs by [...]

Louise & the Pins - Melancholy (ft. Martha Wainwright) Earlier this spring, London trio Louise & the Pins debuted this understated gem live with Laura Marling, but now the official version has arrived in the form of their debut single: "Melancholy," backed by swinging B-side "Beauty Strange," a tune that recalls Jack White's recent '50s-inspired collaborator, Lanie Lane . The original Marling-assisted demo never saw a release, but Wainwright makes up for it by bringing even more pitch-perfect harmonies to the duet. You can pick up a copy [...]
Boardwalk Empire , HBO's drama about prohibition-era bootleggers in Atlantic City is returning for its second season in a couple of weeks, and they've roped in more big names to help them out with the soundtrack. Rather than record entirely new songs, the artists are recording covers of songs made famous in the 1910s and 20s by the likes of Irving Berlin, Eddie Cantor, Sophie Tucker and Ted Lewis. The songs come from a time when jazz and blues really started to have an influence on mainstream dancehall music, and can be seen as one of the golden [...]
Along with releasing some six albums since 2001, Regina Spektor has also contributed to other people's LPs and compilations over the years. From recording music for a Christmas album (isn't that sacrilegious of her?) to rocking out for Tibet , Spektor makes other efforts shine with her kitschy magic. Now, though, comes one compilation that combines the piano-playing angel with one of HBO's finest shows as Spektor records a song for the upcoming soundtrack to Boardwalk Empire . Spektor takes on Fanny Brice's "My Man" (Brice was later the subject [...]
Regina Spektor , Nellie McKay, Martha Wainwright and many others are set to appear on Boardwalk Empire's first soundtrack.
Voor verrassende artikelen over muziek koop ik één keer per jaar het tijdschrift The Believer . Je krijgt dan ook nog een cd, dus dat maakt het extra aantrekkelijk. Het sterke punt van The Believer is de keuze voor ongewone invalshoeken. In de 2011 editie staan onder meer verhalen over de lollige klanken van de fagot (een misverstand, aldus de schrijver) en Koreaanse popmuziek ( Kpop ), interviews met Brian Eno (door schrijver David Mitchell ), Martha Wainwright en Trey Anastasio, zanger/gitarist van Phish over improvisatie, er is aandacht voor wonderlijke gewoontes van Australische festivalbezoekers en curieuze Texaanse [...]

Filed under: News , Exclusive , Spinner Interview VALERIE MACON, AFP/Getty Images Cramming a four-decade career into one package is no easy task. For Loudon Wainwright III , curating the box set ' 40 Odd Years ' was such a painstaking experience that he compared it to "drowning kittens." But a few months after the May release from Shout Factory, Wainwright is as upbeat as ever. In a lengthy chat with Spinner, [...]
