The Chieftains are to celebrate their 50th year in 2012 with a new studio album featuring collaborations with a host of, as they put it, "like-minded musical visionaries and kindred spirits." to answer your obvious question of "who are these kindred spirits?!", here you go: Titled Voice of Ages, it's set to feature the collaborative efforts of Justin Vernon and Bon Iver , The Decemberists , Carolina Chocolate Drops, The Civil Wars, Paolo Nutini, The Low Anthem, The Secret Sisters , and Lisa Hannigan and many more. To me, it sounds like a musical [...]
Clapton Fox puts you in that autumn mood. MGMT - Time To Pretend's evil twin, the album 'Amazing Thunderstorm' is deep, dark and damn right devious. If you're anything like me one of the first things you'll do when contemplating the purchase of an album is read the track titles. You'll quickly notice that 'Twelve Pairs of Shoes' sounds like the title of a Rolf Harris song, right? Well actually it's surprisingly appropriate... Read more..
Beyoncé doesn't normally play festivals, but by all accounts she killed it at Worth Farm last night. After her Glasto headline performance the star told BBC she was so nervous playing for 175,000 people she sent Chris Martin her setlist to approve in advance. Of course between solo hits, Destiny's Child favorites, and a medley of covers (Prince, Alanis Morrissete, Eurythmics, Kings Of Leon) there was no lack of familiar material to wow the Brits. Before that Morrissey and Coldplay played their newest tunes, Radiohead did most of King Of Limbs , Jarvis Cocker threw frisbees into the crowd, [...]

After another year of fantastic artists, venue and weather Rockness shall not be quickly forgotten in the minds of the thousands of people who travelled miles to the banks of Loch Ness just outside Inverness. Here is how Crack in the Road saw as the highlights of the weekend. Friday: Although the Main Stage headliners Kasabian had by far the largest support I feel that comparative new boys Two Door Cinema Club were the biggest surprise of the first day. Although looking a bit daunted initially at the prospects of [...]
Alex Clare is a London based singer songwriter but you can forget about any comparisons to James Morrison or Paulo Nutini , Alex is firmly 2010.

![[Introducing] – Aerials Up](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3184643_lg.jpg)
Go on Scotland, go do your thing (I know Frank is all about the homeland); as he should be, especially with good music coming out of it like Aerials Up. Aerials Up is an outfit from Glasgow, making some serious noise this past year. This is a good one, a seven piecer with a wide range of instruments coming together to make melodically intricate but with a simply beautiful sound. With a few notches in their musical belt, they've been associated and played with huge names like Snow Patrol, The Futureheads , Doves , Ash, and Paulo Nutini [...]
If there's one thing the UK music industry does not lack, it's female vocalists. From Adele to Duffy, Pixie to Ellie, you can take your pick. if you asked me to pick a top 3 I would reply "only 3, because I can make a top 103. My favourite female singers in the UK are [...]
If I said to you that the singer of The Milk sounds like Paulo Nutini, what would you say? If you don't know who he is then you may ask "Who the fuck is that?", or you might say "Awww shit no", or you may ask yourself "Where is that large automobile?". The fact remains though, The Milk's lead singer Ricky Nunn sounds a lot like Paulo Nutini at his scratchiest, and as a band, they manage to cross over between Indie-Rock, Ska, Motown Soul, and dash of rude-boy Punk (think The Ordinary Boys meets a less drug-addled [...]
Paolo Nutini's cover of Amy Winehouse's "Rehab," recorded live for BBC Radio One's Live Lounge program in 2007, is the rare animal that manages to own the covered song so convincingly that it could almost pass as his own original.
Link: www.jacquelinebeckermusic.com For fans of: Sara Bareilles, Paulo Nutini, Norah Jones Releases: "Jacqueline Becker" Take note: She has worked with producer/writer Tommy Coster Jr. (Santana, Eminem, 50 Cent) and engineer Randy Wine (U2, Santana, Enrique Iglesias, Kylie Minogue). She plays the voice of Riley Kendrick, the lead character in Elle's web series " Dirty Little Secret ," and her song "Glass Was [...]
These should have been out a while ago. A recent Wordpress bug has made them miss their scheduled posting time:( 80. Body Language - Mandy vs. Booka Shade I'm not sure that this track is going to stand the test of time, but it certainly speaks for a place in time back in 2005. In a way, this track captures the essence of the culture that loved it so much, and will forever stir the memories in many of the dance floors of this decade. [...]
Arriving just as surprise guest Natalie Imbruglia wraps it up (Yes, she played 'Torn'), State makes a beeline for the bar secures a pint just in time before raising it "TO ARTHUR" at 17:59. As we drink, we notice The Academy has been transformed for the night. Camera crews and their equipment have severely reduced the venue's 850 max capacity. Huge lighting rigs affect the views of those on the balcony in certain areas and all the best vantage points are already occupied by a stage-hand. Spotlights and strobe machines litter the floor and we're not alone in [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Scottish pop soul singer Paolo Nutini follows his recent sold-out North American headlining tour with a second batch of dates that includes a stop at ' The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien ,' Sept. 10, to perform his hit single, 'Candy.' While this tour, in support of his new album, 'Sunny Side Up,' has plenty of memories for Nutini, it was on a previous trek that he got to watch one of his heroes, Rod Stewart . With a [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Live It Out , Canada Scottish indie-pop sensations Franz Ferdinand gave Toronto's Virgin Festival its first headline-caliber set with a riveting rock show. Their career-spanning performance consistently got the packed general admission section to rise, scream and boogie their hearts out. Plowing through crowd-pleasing singles 'Michael,' 'Walk Away,' 'No You Girls' and a stirring version of 'Take Me Out' -- dedicated to fellow Scottish V-fester Paolo Nutini -- the foursome also gave a nod [...]
MySpace So here we go. Some four months after I'd originally expected to see it in my inbox and after much rumour-mongering, hand-wringing, bitching and moaning, it's here. The lineup for Toronto's - sorry, Ontario's - Virgin Festival 2009 . It's far and away the most mixed bag of nuts yet, with names guaranteed to both delight and confound, no matter what you're into. So really, the question is this; is this lineup enough to get you out to Burl's Creek park near Orillia and camp for two or three [...]
Ever wonder what it would sound like if a Scotsman made a reggae song with the help of ?uestlove? Of course you did. I bet you didn't think it would sound like this though. Paulo Nutini sounds more like Toots on this track, which is off his sophomore album, Sunny Side Up . Very cool. Saw it at IGIF . Paulo Nutini - 10/10 (ft. ?uestlove) PigeonsandPlanes

The unfortunate! http://www.nytimes.com/pages/o bituaries/index.html There seem to be a lot of people dropping dead. Seriously people are dropping dead all the fucking time. Death's getting a lot of pub-I bet Paris is jealous. OK that might have been too easy but Richard Jeni killing himself. This speaks to me on many levels! First of all, this proves that mild fame is now as currently constituted the worst X in the sentence, "Tendency to Prefer Death Over X." I mean, Fame is the freakin' Zodiac killer probably. He suffered [...]
