Later this month, Gift Wrapped II: Snowed In , a 21-track LP featuring cuts by the aforementioned names and more will hit online music outlets. The album includes originals by Spektor (“December”), Yamagata (“Baby Come Find Me At Christmas”), Devo (“Merry Something To You”), covers by [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Two months after the tragic death of cellist and arranger Daniel Cho , friends including Regina Spektor , Jenny Owen Youngs and his old rock band, Cooper, are coming together to play a tribute show for the late musician. The show, which will take place on Monday, Sept. 27 at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg, will honor Cho's legacy and raise money to help out his family.
Filed under: Video , Exclusive Rachel Been, Spinner.com Black Gold drummer Than Luu channels the ghosts of past musicians each time he hits that snare drum on his kit. That is because the snare drum in question dates back to the '40s, a reflection of his and Black Gold keyboardist/singer Eric Ronick's affinity for vintage gear. "It's been through a lot of stories," Luu told Spinner during the band's Interface performance in our New York [...]
Filed under: News , R.I.P. Daniel Cho, a cellist for Regina Spektor , reportedly drowned Tuesday, July 6, in Lake Geneva, Switzerland, according to Geneva Lunch . The tragedy happened a day before Spektor's scheduled gig at the Montreux Jazz Festival. Cho, who performed with Spektor on Spinner's Interface in 2009 , attended the Berklee College of Music and was currently living in Brooklyn, N.Y. In addition to working with Spektor, his resume as an arranger and cellist included work for Katy Perry , [...]
A Post by Gabor Pertic Image found here Rachael Yamagata • Duet (with Ray Lamontagne) ‘Moments in the Dark’ and ‘Dark Moments’ are two different things. Moments in the dark are spent in the oddly shaped confines of a bedroom, blinds closed, in a world uninterrupted. Looking up at the ceiling, pretending to show you [...]
Herbst in Peking – Jesus war so cool Manche Momente schreiben einfach Geschichte, ob man so will, oder nicht. Bei manchen kann man kommende Einträge in den Geschichtsbüchern schon im Vornherein absehen, wie etwa beim mutmaßlichen ersten Schritt auf dem Mond oder der Entschuldigung des Australischen Premiers bei den Aborigines. Andere wiederum kommen überraschend oder verbreiten ihren historisch bedeutenden Glanz erst im Nachhinein. Ob sich die liebe Maria damals also kurz vor dem Jahre Null Eins darüber bewusst war, welche Bedeutung ganze Völker und Generationen der Geburt ihres kleinen Jesus [...]
No one could have foreseenthe catastrophe—it rose fromthe still water and the sunblocked out by spring chapeausand parasols. They were waiting,or posing—and here and there a dogpoked at the ground, and the smoke roselazily from the boater’s pipe. Earliera mother wiped an eyelash from her daughter’s cheek,the local rowing crew powered their wayacross the water, and the town lush slid

I had almost decided not to do a decade in review list, but for some reason I felt the urge to tonight. This is not a very researched list, just done in less than half an hour based on my Rate Your Music.com account and what was rated highest for each year. Coldplay - Parachutes (2000) Howie Day - Australia (2000) Eva Cassidy - Time After Time (2000) Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker (2000) Elliott Smith - Figure 8 (2000) Pete Yorn - Musicforthemorningafter (2001) Matthew Jay - Draw (2001) Bob Dylan [...]
Not very talkative this evening. Playing something a lot more mainstream (and yes Warner Bros. is freaking mainstream to me, I know, I am a snob), Rachael Yamagata seems just right... She takes us to a darker place on this follow up album and I like it. My grandmother has sold her condo in Florida and is moving here in the next 2 months. She is scared and angry... This breaks my heart because I wish there was some way to ease into this, but it is all happening so fast and she feels herself losing [...]
OK -- it's Sunday afternoon, it's feeling like fall and we're thinking that Rachael Yamagata 's video for "Sunday Afternoon" would be perfect company. A majestic nine-minute track that builds to a climax of heartbreaking emotional release, the song is taken from Ms. Yamagata's sorely overlooked album, the depressed-vs.-defiant Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart released a year ago almost to the day. The paraphrase Springsteen, this is the difference between something you need...and something you want. For this one, we're opting for the first. Myspace Artist Site

My partner in crime from Ozborn Pix Rock discovered a new artist recently who has been around for awhile but just hasn't quite caught our attention or perhaps been seen on our normal avenues of daily music sites but deserves a good listen. He is both an author and musician and can really move the listeners with his soft and steady vocals accompanying some very strong songwriting. He plays along with an acoustical guitar, strumming and weaving tales of love, despair, and emotion. I was honored to have some correspondence with Ben this [...]
Back in March at South By Southwest , our Joshua got to sit down in a downtown Austin coffeeshop and chat up the lovely and uber-talented Anya Marina , whose become a Popwreckoning favorite since the very first listen of A Slow and Steady Seduction: Phase II (still one of our most listened to albums!). Joshua, PopWreckoning: I know you wanted a fun interview, but I have to ask you at least two musical questions. Anya Marina: No problem. OK. [...]
One of the best shows on television by far is 30 Rock . It's definitely come a long way since its awkward first season to upstage The Office on a regular basis. Last night's star-studded bit for Jack's newfound father who needs a kidney is just more proof why few shows - if any - can top 30 Rock these days. Dealbreaker. If you can't decipher all of the musicians in the clip, here is a list of everyone involved: Elvis [...]
