Artist: My Brightest Diamond

There has been no shortage of support within the music community for the ongoing Occupy movements. Jeff Mangum , Talib Kweli , Tom Morello , and Crosby Stills and Nash have all delivered performances, and Kanye West an appearance at Occupy Wall Street, and Rage Against the Machine's Zach De La Rocha recently showed his support with a poem . Now, a number of prominent musicians have bonded together and launched their own movement called Occupy Musicians. According to an issued press release , "Occupy Musicians will serve as a resource to facilitate performances [...]

Watch the charmingly low-budget new music video from Shara Worden .

Depois da experiência estética e leve do clipe de We Added it Up , Shara Worden (ou My Brightest Diamond ) escolheu uma abordagem social, apropriada para esses tempos de Occupy e crise financeira, para seu novo clipe. Mas não se engane: mais uma vez, tudo termina em dança, ao som de uma das melhores faixas do consistente álbum All Things Will Unwind , High Low Middle . Após um discurso sobre privilégios (e a ausência dos mesmos) proferido por um pastor, Bob Hoey, Shara assume [...]

In the video for My Brightest Diamond's "High Low Middle," Shara Worden incites what appears to be a community-center dance party by performing a glammed-up rendition of the song. It's probably the first time in history that anyone has used My Brightest Diamond for breakdancing purposes. Murat Eyuboglu directs. Watch it below. Read More...

Shara Worden (aka My Brightest Diamond ) makes giant-sized art-pop rich in emotion and texture. If you could somehow visualize her musical aesthetic (that undoubtedly requires a laboratory with lots of beakers), it would be the music video for "High Low Middle". The clip sees Worden take a gloomy neighborhood meeting and turn it into an evening of song and dance, with bright, over-the-top colors, balloons and confetti, and plenty of smiling faces. Not bad for a song about Detroit's economic turmoil. Check it out below (via Disco Naïveté ). My Brightest Diamond's latest [...]

Tom Waits - Satisfied Una cosa che credo di non avere mai scritto è quanto io ami profondamente Tom Waits. Al liceo due dischi fecero uscire unanimamente tutti di testa: In Utero e Bone Machine. Da quel momento ho davvero seguito tutta la produzione di Waits. Anche quella cinematografica (fa ridere scritta così ma è la verità). Detto ciò che Bad as me sia roba da top 3 (altro che top10) è una frase scontatissima, il video di Satisfied è bello grezzo, saturo, bianco e nero e livido. Una raschiata da antologia [...]

Partiamo da un presupposto semplice semplice: Shara Worden è una delle creature più preziose dell'attuale scena alternativa al femminile statunitense. Polistrumentista talentuosa, voce sublime, conoscenze giuste, la Worden , già autrice di due validi lavori su lunga distanza, è reduce da una lunga serie di collaborazioni (su tutte quella coi Clogs e con Sarah Kirkland Snider , ma anche il coinvolgimento nel tributo a Nico messo in piedi da John Cale e in un nuovo ciclo creativo del folle Matthew Barney ) e, soprattutto, dalla sua prima gravidanza. Ora, [...]

Friday evening was a mad house. Getting into the station wasn't the issue, as I expect it will be in the coming weeks now that winter is upon us; it was the transition. Transitioning from one on-air personality to another is a bit nerve-wracking. The quarters are cramped, the mic is hot, and you have to do your best not to step on their toes as they wrap their show and you begin yours. And when it's time to fly, you have to remember which buttons should be lit and which ones shouldn't. After the [...]

• The Dø - Slippery Slope

When starting something new, the Field of Dreams question always lingers. If you build it, will they come? As far as baseball fields in Costner movies and the Fremont Abbey's new Cathedrals concert series, that answer is a resounding yes. Over 500 people attended Cathedrals 1 featuring some seriously goose-bump making sets by Mychal and [...]

My Brightest Diamond fans always seem to look exactly the same. They're usually all woman. They're tall but not tall enough to play basketball. Skinny. They like wearing felt trench coats and scarfs even when it's still rather warm out. They usually have black hair or black hair with a red streak down the side. And they always wear that stupid little hat that is a cross between a beret and
