Oren Ambarchi – "Salt" Experimental heavyweight Oren Ambarchi recently hit Touch with a new solo album— Audience of One —his first since 2007's still-gorgeous In the Pendulum's Embrace . In addition to being topped off with a cover of Ace Frehley's "Fractured Mirror" ( awesome ), the record boasts an all-star cast of guests, including (but not limited to) violist Eyvind Kang and vocalist [...]
"They think the role of my job is just to make music, to make songs that I think are interesting. As soon as I start trying to classify what we do or what I do, I just get... very uninterested." Even a cursory glance at the major websites purveying in music criticism will show the veritable litany of classifications. Musical taxonomy is becoming increasingly complicated, as it seems that even the most unconnected of genres manage to refer to each other. Music in the electronic sphere perhaps falls most prey to the plague of over-classification; these range from house, [...]
The story behind this post begins in a little review in Wire magazine, two or three months ago, about a new EP of an unfamiliar band called Warm Ghost. Albeit the strange name, something in the description attracted me to listen to it. Shortly after, I found myself playing this fantastic EP repeatedly. Warm Ghost [...]

wir hatten erst kürzlich auf hometapes aufmerksam gemacht, den zusammenhang stellten megafaun her. sie reiten ihrem neuen album entgegen, hometapes hievten sie dafür auf die gäule. dass das label eine menge mehr draufhat, wollen wir beweisen, in dem wir Euch einige der angebotenen pretiosen zu gehör bringen. ich möchte dabei kaum mehr auf die einzelnen kapellen eingehen, weil doch die musik deutlich für sich spricht. außerdem hat die erfahrung gezeigt, dass die viele arbeit ohne reflexion blieb. das ist es dann nicht unbedingt wert. ansonsten gilt es auf [...]

Even I couldn't stand sitting inside today watching the "Twilight Zone" marathon from sunrise today until sunrise tomorrow. So when Nicci asked if we could go outside for a fun afternoon away from the television, I could not find an excuse to stay indoors. We started driving up the 101-North, going nowhere in particular, until Nicci realized we were approaching Castle Park. Ah yes, a quick game of miniature golf would certainly raise my spirits! It was sunny and moderately warm today, and a quick spin around the three zany courses at Castle Park seemed like a great idea. That [...]

These songs have nestled like pieces of bric-a-brac on my playlist. Over time, they gather stories and the sheen of being well handled. But they don't quite leave. They sit quietly, like old pieces of lace and forgotten thimbles, and they wait for me to remember them. Every once in a while, I pick them up, wipe off the dust and admire them all over again. Nina Simone - Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues (Bob Dylan cover) Hem - Half Acre [...]
A few months ago, Stephen King, who I respect in the same way I respect Nick Hornby, as a writer whose work I like who also has a pretty good critical perspective on popular culture, wrote a piece for Entertainment Weekly about coolness, and who was cool and who wasn't, specifically in terms of pop artists. (Find it here .) It was actually surprisingly curmudgeonly and, in my opinion almost as off-base as Sasha Frere Jones' article about how indie music has disconnected itself from black music. However, it gave me permission to use coolness to define my best-of-2007 [...]
1. The Necks – Townsville ( Milk of Fish / ReR ) MP3: Townsville (Excerpt) Last October – in what normally would have been nothing but a typical autumn week with darkness setting in early and people wrapped in warm clothes, hiding from the cold wind – I experienced what was most definitely the musical highlight of the year for me. Maybe even the musical highlight of many, many years. That entire week the city was besieged by music and film dedicated to "minimalist" composer and legend Philip Glass. Every [...]
Critically judging albums for their "worth" or "merit" is inherently ridiculous. What one person loves another will undoubtedly hate. Yeah, I really like all the records on this list, but putting them into some sort of order presents a challenge especially when including multiple genres. What do you think? Comments? Questions? Concerns? Ok. 40. Rocky Votolato - The Brag & Cuss ( Barsuk ) MP3 | Postcard From Kentucky Rocky's [...]
MP3: Paul Duncan - The Fire MP3: Paul Duncan - High In the Morning I fucking hate say what I'm about to say, but here goes: dude sounds a lot like Will Oldham. It's nobody's fault or anything and it's actually kind of awesome because thankfully, he writes songs that sound like Paul Duncan songs and they're totally great. [...]

The Tragically Hip - "Ahead by a Century". It's strange being back in Ottawa. This is the city I (mostly) grew up in: the one where I learned to multiply, to swim, to fall maybe a little bit in love. Visiting now, after years in other places, I see different things than I once did. I see the wide spaces between the buildings, the pockets of community, the specialness of the waters that run through it - and the gentleness of its passions. As kids vroom down Carling celebrating a Senators victory, they're answered with quiet hurrays, single waves. Even [...]

Weer aandacht voor iemand uit Brooklyn, New York: Paul Duncan . Van hem is de cd Above the Trees verschenen. Het is zijn derde album. Hij schreef het in een maand of drie; het opnemen duurde nog geen week. Duncan wordt op Above the Trees bijgestaan door zeker tien muzikanten. Ingetogen songs.
