This is not your ordinary best songs of the year post. First off, we're not dictating the best songs to you as most media sites and blogs do, but rather highlighting the number one songs from each weekly Top 10 Songs playlist in 2012. If you're familiar with IRC's top ten series, you know that [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
Filed under: Monthly Mixtape Flickr For the past 30 days, we've sat here wondering what next month will bring. Will July bear more jobs, better pay, less zombies and no more EDM? Will my 16-year-old brother actually pass his driver's test? Will we accept that Anderson Cooper is a gay man? Who's to say? What I do know is this, we have 30 songs for you to plunder and ponder. We started off June with a [...]
Jingle writer and kid TV sensation PT Walkley demonstrates a knack for pop music, adult audience. PT Walkley can claim songs that have appeared in both scotch adds and on Sesame Street. Listening to "The Way That You Are", the point of entry on this 10-track release, you understand. There's something childlike about the sparseness of the tracks, about the energy the sometime Edward Burns collaborator brings with him via "Go Away", "The Purpose of a Skunk", and "I'm a Snob". There's also something subversive enough to make all that innocence...

Siempre es un placer presentar un nuevo disco de un favorito de este blog como el cantante y compositor neoyorquino PT Walkley .

It wasn't hard to pick the lead single for this week's Best New Releases feature. It is a great track, and our song of the day, "Love and Leave," from Chicago indie band Scattered Trees. The dreamy, lush track is a near instant MP3 hit, and contains an ironic anthemic quality, not to mention sounding [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

I got into my car today, and noticed some flakes of orange crushed into the black carpeting of the footwell, and was reminded that Fall is upon us. Lately, I've been busy running around trying to buy a home so that I have somewhere to live when my current apartment lease runs out on Thanksgiving Day (yeah, who checked that lease out before signing it?)- too busy to notice that all the trees are changing color (well, all the trees that can change their color here in Georgia, land of the evergreens). Even though the weather channel is [...]
The future Mrs. SF on a shoot for MYMAG , backed by music from PT Walkley : PT Walkley - Up The Walls

Halloween - a holiday that means many things to many people. For young children it is a chance to go to strangers’ homes and ask for free candy. For college coeds it is a chance to dress as scantily as possible and imbibe copious amounts of alcohol. And, for some 3,400 lucky fans on this particular Halloween, it was a chance to see Weezer take over New York City. On October 31st, Hammerstein Ballroom played host to the MetroPCS Masquerade presented by WRXP 101.9. The bill saw PT Walkley , Matt and Kim , and [...]
New Music Qucikly Examined Kaspar Hauser, The Sons - For years we've been diggin on the folk-rock sounds of Kaspar Hauser. A few months back we got to listen to the rough cuts and liked. The polished stuff is top-notch....

From the moment the string quartet began sawing away during "Introduction", the beginning track to PT Walkley 's new album, Mr. Macy Walks Alone , it is blatant that this is not your usual acoustic sing-a-long. Although Walkley is far from unbeknown to the music industry, this album is ultimately definitive of his excellence as a singer, songwriter, and recording artist. Characterized by a sophisticated array of instruments (string quartet, brass, flutes, bells, choir, saws, etc.) and [...]

Una de las sorpresas más agradables de estas primeras semanas de 2009 ha sido Mr. Macy Wakes Alone , el primer álbum en solitario de PT Walkley . Anteriormente el músico neoyorquino habiá editado discos con The Blue Jackets o acompañado por The Track Rabbit, además de componer varias bandas sonoras para directores como Edward Burns o Paul S. Myers y música para diversas campañas publicitarias. Con 18 canciones, Mr. Macy Wakes Alone es un álbum doble al estilo de los LPs de los años 60. Un ambicioso y exquisito trabajo que cuenta la historia (con [...]
Earlier this month in our Featured Artist section, we introduced you to a most talented singer/songwriter, Mr. PT Walkley. Well, it seems that he’s doing quite well for himself. Billboard.com is featuring him now in their Underground video section and will be featuring him in their January 31st print issue. Spinner.com, an AOL music site, featured PT in their MP3 of the Day section a few days ago, and NPR has [...]
