So what me worry? Both the remarkably accessable Bad As Me by mr. Waits and the remarkably tranquil Wolfroy Goes To Town by Will 'Bonnie' Oldham will keep me busy for a quite a while. Out now, so dig in. And if Bonnie Prince Billy's playing in your area ( dates here ), do check him out. We caught him in Barcelona's cosy Casino L'Aliança last Thursday and were completely blown away. A monarch who rules over all that he sings indeed. Bonnie Prince Billy [...]
Monarchs lead vocalist Celeste Griffin's soulful crooning is nothing short of regal. Mixing passion with irony, the Monarchs latest, Rise and Fall , mixes romance with a flair for the subtly morbid. On the misleadingly peppy "Business Casual" the song sounds relatively blithe until you take a closer listen to the lyrics as Griffin sings, "Laying in an open casket / you've got the world looking down on you / and you look so fantastic." Though don't be misled, there's no "off with their heads" among these Monarchs. To them, the music is family. From some [...]
I whip my hair back and forth. Not because I am a teenage girl (although I sometimes act like one) but because there is a party. No, it's not in my pants. This party is in my ears, and soon it will be in yours as well. I am pleased to present to you The Indie Sabbath - more refreshing than an ice-cold soda in the middle of the desert. For me, music is the purest form of communication this world has to offer. I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. [...]

Just last week I moved the blogging den upstairs so now instead of staring at a one coated bare wall in need of refreshment I look upon our heavily birded garden.

Monarchs: "Business Casual"
This punchy, key-laden affair from Austin, TX band Monarchs is slightly morbid fun at its best. If you think about it, the business casual look is a perfect signifier of that middle-class, suburban, ho-hum, good-but-not-great lifestyle that seems to be the ideal of so many in America these days. Vocalist and keyboardist Celeste Griffin puts [...]

VELNIAS HEAD OUT EAST
If you've lived in Boulder, Colo. for any amount of time, you'll eventually need a break from the L.A. trust fund fleshsacks and the crusty hippies who dropped out of life with bong in hand. Velnias certainly do, and they'll embark on tour soon. The blackened unit will cover the Midwest (although there are no Chicago shows despite their origins in the western suburbs) and the East with the

"Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into."
The sky is that beautiful deep blue that takes your breath away. A few, small wispy clouds are close to the horizon. The breeze is slight enough to keep the day warmer than it's been. More flowers have appeared in the front garden, and I stop to look every time I'm out there. They make me realize how close I am to the time for my many visits to the gardening shop. Today I need dog food at Agway so I'll also probably stroll through the flowers they have outside. This time of year they are hardy sorts. [...]
