Here is this week's music singles chart for the week ending May 27 - June 2. This week's #1 single goes to Dalarna, Sweden's The Tallest Man On Earth with his song "19043. Something about that song, reminds me of that Americana folk tune similar to Bob Dylan. The single is taken from There's No Leaving Now which drops on June 12, 2012 in North America. There are three new debuts from Yeasayer and Ottawa's Three Little Birds. Check it out! [...]
Waking up at a festival isn't too tough. Waking up, opening your tent and realizing you're in the "overflow" (a cute word that covers up the debauchery of the gypsy camp, ghetto-like, if you will, atmosphere of the place) is the tough part. A few sun-burnt party-kids passed out over here, an absurdly large pile of empty beer cans and garbage over there, and, not so far off, music from a stereo plays songs made amazing on stage the previous day; the wonderful few that will attempt the ever so lofty goal of the "Four-day-no-sleep-rock-the-fr ee-world-or-die-trying", still going strong. [...]
photo by Brittney Bollay Opening a main stage at a festival can be a daunting task, especially for a band that isn't used to playing festivals. " This is a little different than our basement," noted singer Galen Disston, "but we're really honored to be here." Lucky for Pickwick , a legion of fans rushed to the front of the stage, and with their support, Pickwick tore through a set of groove-based rock that started the day off with a bang. Their energy was high and their musicianship was tight, so by the time they [...]
Day one was the easy day. You managed to arrive (maybe you managed to the night before, odds aren't that way though) and you enjoyed your first night. You'd set up your tent (Oh, did we forget to mention to set up the tent before you head to the festival? If not, we should have, doing it in the pitch black lit only by sparse lamps and headlights may not have been smart), and you may have been a little cold. But you now know to huddle and drink enough to keep warm. Today's really [...]
Only one quarter of the Colorado Rockies baseball season has been played at the present time and anxious fans have thrown in the proverbial towel before Memorial Day. Tis a sad day 'round here for baseball fans when it appears that the ownership sees fans in the stands as dollar signs and their players on the field as geese laying golden eggs. Fans come out in droves regardless of the product on the field because of the social event aspect of the game and Coloradoans typically like being outdoors. The plane has crashed into the mountain and [...]
Consequence of Sound' s Summer Tour Guide will lead you to the darkest, dankest (not every venue has a ventilation system, folks) concerts where you can dance the night away after spending too many hours in the sun.

![Purity Ring & AGOR @ Cafe Dekcuf [May 23, 2012]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4286101_lg.jpg)
I was very excited for this sold out show at Cafe Dekcuf on May 23, 2012. There was some buzz and excitement surrounding this show. Considering the headlining band's debut album won't drop until July 24, 2012. I have a feeling that once the album drops, they will definitely explode. Kind of surprised that Ottawa was the second date of their tour. Playing at the show were: Purity Ring AGOR [...]
LYFSTYL - SOUNDSCAPES MIXTAPE The LYFSTYL crew is heading to the Sasquatch music festival tomorrow. Since we will be away for 5 days, I have decided to make you guys a funky little mix-tape called Soundscapes . While you no doubt have heard some of the tracks featured I tried to choose songs that get me grooving every time that I hear them. We will be back from Sasquatch with tons of amazing content for you. If any of our readers or artist would are attending Sasquatch this year and would [...]
We've already featured Young Wonder 's gorgeous video for "Orange" , but if any group was ever deserving of a full write-up, this duo are. There's Rachel Koeman, who provides the lyrics, melodies and the vocals themselves, and Ian Ring, who provides the musical foundations for it all. Between them, they can knock out some pretty killer music. In the course of my research, it transpired that Ian doesn't like crisps (that's chips to Statesiders; and yes, you could fairly describe my research as exhaustive). I'm not sure how much that [...]

But now sub pops' Pissed Jeans, 405 favourites Purity Ring (pictured above) & Fanfarlo and hip-hop legend DOOM are amongst new additions, it's shaping up to be one of this summer's hottest tickets. So if you're bored of the same old British festival line ups, get yourself a flight [...]
Purity Ring 's " Odebear " was begging for a rap remix. Often times, rappers are way too late on hopping on indie tracks, but Ro Ransom is ahead of the curve with this one, providing the first remix to the dark indie pop track with a beat instant enough to get your head nodding. Ro's Ransomnia is coming soon, and Purity Rings' Shrines is out July 24th. Purity Ring - "Odebear (Ro Ransom Remix)"

Purity Ring : Obedear - MP3 Evidemment, je suis à la bourre pour ce titre mais avec une absence prolongée, je suis à la bourre pour beaucoup de trucs.

Odebear est extrait de Shrines , l'album tant attendu du duo qui sortira le 24 juillet chez 4AD & [...]
