![[Ones To Watch] – Introducing – Kishi Bashi](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4004713_lg.jpg)
Tweet One of the rewards of being a fan of a particular band, besides their actual music, is that you sometimes get to reap the benefits of the music they're into. In this case it was Sondre Lerche and his uncanny ability to pick remarkably talented show openers. Before attending his summer tour I had never even heard of multi-instrumentalist K. Ishibashi, a.k.a. Kishi Bashi . It's sort of surprising I hadn't heard of Ishibashi sooner, considering [...]

As we move into a new year, one of the strangest pieces of news has been revealed. Album sales in 2011 actually went up for the first time in almost a decade. Granted it was mostly due to Adele's incredibly popular album...that still proves that the album as a musical format is still very viable. And while all the news articles still like to pronounce the death of rock and how pop has

When you compile a list like this, you start to tremble at how much you're really going to absorb in the ensuing months. This doesn't even cover the misses and surprises. If you're a casual listener, you might get through an album a day. Okay, maybe two. If you're a fanatic, you're spinning discographies left and right. Still, after 365 days, either person is buzzing. One's just a little louder with the phonetics. As I wrote back in December, in a year, you'll have your next roundup of favorite albums. You'll have a new favorite song. You might [...]

Camille in her song "Au Port" from her album Le fil reminds me of a crossbreed between ::M∆DE:IN:HEIGHTS:: and Regina Spektor . I might be wrong on the second half of that mix. The melody at a part that I would reference using lyrics, but can't because I don't know french, reminds me of someone. It's the part where Camille goes up high at the end of the lyric. Anyway, I should stop wasting your time, if you even read this, and just say: it's a song in french with [...]

2011 was an amazing year for music. Some old favorites stayed the course or broke new trail, some new bands poked their heads into the scene and a few acts even kicked the door in. 2012 promises to be no different. Some of our favorite bands have either set release dates or tickled our senses with rumors of a potential release. There are some interesting questions that will be raised with this years releases though. Will this be fun.'s breakout year? Can James Mercer get old fans to forgive him for firing half his crew? Will Andrew Bird continue his [...]

I've written many times on this blog over the years about the notion of Christmas as a bittersweet holiday. If you live in America, you are flooded with messages of materialism and familial merrymaking. You are told, through commercials and TV shows and the news, that you ought to be spending money on presents and gathering with your family in a warm glow of devoted love. But sometimes these things are out of reach. Some of us struggle with money. Some have problems with their family and friends. A traditional Christmas is not their fate. And [...]
