President Barack Obama built his entire campaign on the premise of hope and change. Along the way, he's realigned the musical tastes associated with the leader of the free world, as evidenced by his love of hip-hop and Al Green and invitations to acts like The Killers and Yim Yames to play the White House. Fun fact: President Bush only had a paltry 250 songs on his iPod . In an effort to further play up his musical savviness (which undoubtedly translates to more votes in the Williamsburg region), [...]

Tal y como lo hizo hace 4 años, cuando competía por la presidencia de los Estados Unidos, el presidente Barack Obama acaba de publicar un playlist con sus canciones favoritas del momento. La gran diferencia en esta ocasión, aparte de que esta vez está tratando de ser reelegido, es que el playlist se puede escuchar integro en su página de Facebook usando Spotify. El playlist que se armó Obama tiene de todo y para todos. Pasa por No Doubt, Florence and the Machine, Wilco, Arcade Fire y Noah and the Whale, hasta Bruce Springsteen, Aretha [...]

As you may have noticed we are all about UK born singer-song writer Lucy Rose , featuring here already a couple times without even a debut album (although it's in the works). If you haven't caught on yet, this year will be a big one of Lucy and how couldn't it be with scheduled tours accompanying Noah and the Whale , her mates Bombay Bicycle Club and that debut album arriving in time for summer. Last week she released her third [...]

Following in Schonberg's footsteps I attempted to buy 12 albums during 2011. Did I do it? Well as I type this I honestly don't know, so together let's have a look at the albums I bought and see how I got on. As I think it will be close, I'm going to count all albums I bought, whether they were released in 2011 or not - I may revise this if I easily make it! [...]

Some of the big names deciding the best British debut album of 2011 have been unveiled....

I got down to see Lucy Rose at Rough Trade last year and it was unsurprisingly rammo in there. So as this was possibly the most dreariest of weeks, it was a Friday treat to receive this new track from my slight girl crush, Lucy Rose. A lovely bit of folk pop, it gets my toes tapping and head bopping. Lucy's music is sung with a degree of intimate anguish that I get utterly consumed by. But without sounding too muso like, I just really like this song. Exciting times [...]

The same procedure as every year: Kurz vor Silvester sitze ich wie so ziemlich jeder andere Musikblogger, -journalist und fast jeder -fan vor der schweren Aufgabe, meine Jahrescharts zu erstellen. Und wie immer wird mir spätestens morgen noch ein Album oder Song einfallen, den ich entweder hier vergessen habe oder bis heute noch gar nicht kenne. Das gesagt, hier ist mein kleiner Jahresrückblick. (Inhalt: Schlechte Musik | Konzerte des Jahres | Songs des Jahres | Video des Jahres | Alben des Jahres ) [...]

Throughout 2011 we have been offering you lots of free music. Here is La.Ga.Sta.'s most downloaded tracks of the year.

As we get ready to bid adieu to another year of fantastic music, your faithful editor has made a list and checked it twice to choose what she considers the best of the year. Agree? Disagree? As always on here on TGTF, comments are welcome. 1. Noah and the Whale – 'Last Night on Earth' (Mercury) – With all the bad news about the economy in our faces each day and scandals rocking public institutions and public figures, we could really use something that can lift our cynical spirits. [...]

Cute single for your Sunday from Noah and the Whale. A really catchy track that channels a little Tom Petty if you listen close enough. Also, as an added bonus we have the Chad Valley remix. Enjoy! Noah and the Whale | Give It All Back (Chad Valley Remix)

La cantautora británica Laura Marling recordó con cierta tristeza su participación en las bandas Noah and the Whale y Mumford & Sons , en conversación con Spinner . "No nos juntamos a tocar más. Somos de la misma parte chiquita de Londres. Nos encontramos todo el tiempo, pero los días sin preocupaciones terminaron" , dijo la inglesa de 21 años, con algo de nostalgia. Cuando Marling dejó el [...]
