Billy Walker is my kind of country crooner. "Matamoros", a 1964 hit that played perfectly to Walker's silky, smooth tenor, is the tale of love lost on the high plains. It's a big Western soap opera with gunslingers and casinos and broken hearts. Walker was known for these sort of lilting tales of The West [...]
Sólo un video muy peculiar podía encajar en la que es probablemente, la canción más peculiar de los Kills . Un clip nuevo nos muestra el making-of de ' The Last Goodbye ', video de 35mm en una cabina fotográfica, que pertenece su álbum del año pasado Blood Pressures . "En resumen, solo seguí a mi corazón, y eso es lo que ellos escogieron," comenta la actriz Samantha Morton, directora del video y reconocida por su actuación en las películas In America y Minority Report . El making-of también incluye entrevistas [...]

O líder do Arctic Monkeys , Alex Turner , visitou o quadro "Like a Version" da emissora de rádio Australiana Triple J e apresentou uma versão voz e violão de Strange , do primeiro disco da lendária intérprete norte-americana Patsy Cline . Confira a performance abaixo:
The Arctic Monkeys' frontman stops by Triple J Radio.
Parece que el paso de Arctic Monkeys por Australia está resultando más productivo que lo pensado, al menos en lo inmediato, porque luego de la sorpresiva aparición de Miles Kane en un show en Melbourne, ahora su líder se ha hecho un tiempo para visitar la radio Triple J y grabar allí un par de canciones para el segmento Like A Version . En una sesión acústica como las que suelen darse en Like A Version , [...]
The Arctic Monkeys are down under touring and made an appearance on ABC Radio station Triple J for an interview while performing "Suck It and See" as well as a cover of "Strange" by Patsy Cline for JJJ radio's infamous 'Like A Version' segment.
Australian radio station Triple J's Like A Version covers session has delivered gold in the past, like Regina Spektor's cover of Radiohead's "No Surprises" or The Kills' reworking of "One Silver Dollar" . Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner was the latest rock star to hit the studio, where he performed a version of Patsy Cline's "Strange" (the track also makes an appearance during Monkeys performances of "Fluorescent Adolescent"). The cover is decidedly simple and lonesome-sounding with Turner providing some slightly rockabilly-esque vocals to the strum of an acoustic guitar. The heartache of the [...]
Photo by Philip Cosores We don't know what is better: the wonderful solo cover that the Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner offers of the Patsy Cline song "Strange" or the banter that takes place afterwards with the Triple J radio staff. Turner is surprised to discover that he will be playing with Radiohead at Coachella, then is even more surprised to find out that Dre and Snoop are playing together. Turner than strikes comedy gold when he warns "look out for Detox ." Download the tune below. [...]

![[Review/Listen] – Tom Waits – "Bad As Me"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3823532_lg.jpg)
Tweet What I've always loved about Tom Waits is his ability to sound like a cross between the granddaddies of the blues and a maniacal villain from a horror movie– cackling and playing the organ whilst some unsuspecting blonde beauty awakens to discover she's been chained to a table. It's the way his backbeats thump, his voice scratches between mournful and wizened, and reverberates with a raw anger and resentment. "Bad As Me" , Waits's first new studio recording [...]
The Italian crooner expands his horizons.
Shelby Earl's debut solo album, Burn the Boats , "is made up of 12 original indie-rock folk songs with recurrent themes of reclaiming lost loves, reaching for the unattainable and waking up one's own life after a long slumber." The album title reflects how Earl came to make the album, putting the past behind her and risking everything for something greater. In Shelby's words, the album is "a true reflection of where I've, and more importantly, where I'm headed." NPR music critic Ann Powers suggest that Earl recalls the sounds of legendary Patsy Cline [...]

Just over six months ago, we gave you the rundown on Patsy Cline's strange death - and the deaths of manager Randy Hughes, Cowboy Copas, Hawkshaw Hawkins, Jack Anglin, and Dottie West to go alo
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars For some, Stephin Merritt probably ties into their lives at every corner, as he seems to craft brilliant tunes at almost every turn. Yet, despite his work with Magnetic Fields , the 6ths , and various other projects, he remains largely a cult hero to most, and an oddball to dissenters. That being said, fans of his work will probably find endless enjoyment in Obscurities , while other will, sadly, continue to look the other way. [...]
