![Marykate O'Neil: Underground [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1702157_lg.jpg)
Celebrating the bizarre and ever changing spirit of the bottom society is not a new idea at all. In this age of less is more, to be more than you really are is a state of humanity; it is convenient that Marykate O'Neil celebrates these ideas by naming her latest release, Underground . But, few can match the genuine artistic reality of this angel and poet of the modern day New York singer songwriter's spectrum. "Green Street" contains the perfect amount of chirp to have the everyday bohemian [...]
"Now hold on a minute. Are you auditioning for Worst Caller of 2009? Is this what this is? No?" -- Tom, asking Spike if he's getting an early jump on the competition "Hi-ho, Kermit, the, Frog here. One day we'll find / It's The Rainbow Connection / Tom Scharpling, the dreamers, and meeeee . La-de-da-de- dadeda ." -- Kermit the Frog (David at Montclair State), serenading the host/air hockey champion "A night where the celebrities shine, and the mutants are ... somehow at the top of the ladder for [...]

Marykate O'Neil Underground Nettwerk Records [2009] Fire Drills Review: Not to play too much on the album's title but Marykate is a talented artist from Brooklyn that really has been below the radar and underground with her solid singer/songwriter style until now. Following last years introduction mkULTRA EP [2008], Underground is O'Neil's fourth record and features contributions from Jill Sobule, Micky Grimm (Over The Rhine) and Ken Maiuri [...]
As far as i'm concerned, this week's releases begins and ends with The Pains of Being Pure at Heart's debut. I've been pretty vocal about how great this band is over the past year or so, and after several singles and EPs, this album doesn't disappoint in the slightest. You won't hear a better pure indiepop album this year, so I recommend you pick this one up immediately. If you want to get a little more familiar with the band, read the interview I did with them a couple [...]

"Happy" - Marykate O'Neil Get three musical smartasses together and watch out--you can be in for a treat of a potentially overbearing kind, a too-clever-by-half sort of thing. Not so this time, however, as O'Neil covers a song co-written by Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne) and Jill Sobule , and immediately undercuts any pretension by adroitly copping a riff from the largely forgotten, intently strange Australian band Flash and the Pan and using it as the foundation for the entire song. (And boy this made me wish I were still doing the [...]
First up check out Logical Logic for a guest post I did on Portland artist Grey Anne. Marykate O'Neil is a Brooklyn based singer-songwriter who recently put out her third solo release, a six song ep, mkULTRA on Seventy-One Recordings . The record features not one, but two covers, one of "Living Without You" by Randy Newman and the other "Happy" by her friends Jill Sobule & Adam Schlesinger (of Ivy & Fountains of Wayne). In fact Sobule makes appearances all over the album playing various instruments and singing backing [...]

Looking for some upbeat, light hearted, female fronted indie pop? Try giving Marykate O'Neil a spin. Her latest release (her third), the six track mkULTRA , came out a little over a week ago, and if you listen carefully, it might surprise you. While on the surface it's got the peppy poppy texture, but lyrically you'll find touches of cynicism. Of the album's six tracks, two are covers: Randy Newman's Living Without You and Happy , by her friends and collaborators Jill Sobule (who co-produced the EP and [...]
Marykate O'Neil is back with her third solo release, mk-ULTRA , and the Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter has lost nothing of the perfect blend of sweetness and cynicism that marked 2006's critically acclaimed 1-800-Bankrupt . Hailed by Filter as a "rare instance where everything simply clicks" and Rolling Stone as "deeply authentic and original," Bankrupt cemented the standard of songwriting talent O'Neil is known for and delivers again with mk-ULTRA . While studying at Boston University, O'Neil formed the band Piewackit, who came to be known around [...]
Indie-pop singer-songwriter Marykate O'Neil grew up in Hudson, went to college in Boston, and then moved to Brooklyn, N.Y. in 1999. This week she released a new EP called mkUltra. Lyrically O'Neil is a mix of sugar and spice and sometimes everything not so nice. We like her fire. She gets some help on the EP from her pal Jill Sobule whose song "Happy" she covers on her new EP. When she sings "
