Earlier this month, Bon Iver and Peter Gabriel announced their upcoming split 7" single, which features Justin Vernon covering Gabriel's "Come Talk To Me" and Gabriel covering "Flume" from For Emma, Forever Ago. Well, now they're not the only artists dropping a song swap 7" this spring: Glasgow's Camera Obscura have teamed up with former Pulp member and solo artist Richard Hawley for their very own double A-side, "The Nights Are Cold"/"The Sweetest Thing," due out on May 17. Per 4AD's announcement ( via Exclaim ), Hawley remixed My Maudlin Career [...]
Richard Hawley And Sigur Ros' Jónsi have been announced as the latest additions to this year's Latitude Festival line-up.
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , UK Mark Lanegan has announced a comprehensive solo tour of Europe, including eight shows in the UK to take place this April and May. The former Screaming Trees singer has not played a full solo tour since 2004, after the release of 'Bubblegum', instead performing collaboratively with Queens of the Stone Age , former Afghan Whig Greg Dulli as the Gutter Twins, and also working and performing with Belle and Sebastian' s [...]
Hey there, loyal readers. Yes, all three of you! It's me, Ben. How are you? Oh, that's good. Me? I'm just fine, thanks. I recently got a haircut and a sandwich and my very own pair of shoes! You know, it feels like it's been years since I saw you. What's that? It has? But how can that be? Well, Niina wasn't far off when she intimated that it has been an "unmusical" couple of years since Girlpants faded from relative obscurity to the blackest depths of the internet. The past year has been perhaps the [...]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars For most on U.S. soil, Fyfe Dangerfield might be a name largely unknown, but you might recognize his work with his band Guillemots . They're a quartet of indie popsters who've made waves with British press, but now it's time for Fyfe to take flight on his own. Fly Yellow Moon is a remarkable debut affair, and one that will surely find fans on all sides of the Atlantic. If you've ever [...]
![[Listen] – #MusicMonday – 20 Songs Of The Week – Feb 15th](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2369846_lg.jpg)
If you're unaware of what Music Monday is, it's a Twitter recommendation system where users of Twitter share their favourite music, artists, genres, etc in order to not only find new music themselves but help others find new music too. Using the hashtag (#) followed by "MusicMonday" you can easily find new music posted by the thousands of people making recommendations each week. Every #MusicMonday I'll upload a playlist of 20 songs that I've been listening to (new and old) over the [...]
Today is a special day for those romantics amongst us. Or those who like bitter-sweet love songs, in which the usual tropes of love songs get turned on their head. Miserable gits who like miserable songs, in other words. Josh Rouse's "Sweetie" is one of his beautifully sung, gorgeously composed numbers that he seems able to turn out in his sleep. Seriously, does anyone have such a gift of picking out a tune as Josh? His tender voice sings plaintively over strummed acoustic guitar during the chorus, with the last line spelling out the [...]
In most corners of the world this weekend, certain sections of the economy are going to receive a welcome boost. In particular, restaurants, florists, confectioners and greeting card companies should see a significant swell in their coffers as a result of all the goodwill generated by Valentine's Day. February 14 has been known as St Valentine's Day since the end of the fifth century and was called after a number of Christian martyrs who were all named Valentine. According to this site , around a billion Valentine's cards are sent around the world every year, with men spending twice [...]

So its been too long since I could fill my lungs with the millions of colourful and curious bytes that make up the internet but im back in the game now and this blog needs some furniture. Since my online blackout I've found myself hoarding CDs, a few gambles which did not pay off ( Kubb 's 2005 album which was available in Poundland was quite frankly optimistically priced), but also a bundle of delightful offerrings from RJD2 , Beach House , Memory Tapes , and some older records from Richard Hawley and [...]
por João Oliveira Acho que olhando a primeira e a última música da lista já dá pra sacar qual foi a minha intenção. Coloquei alguns artistas conhecidos que mereciam mais respeito e outros que talvez passaram despercebidos pra muita gente. Espero que a audição flua, como uma boa compilação deve ser. Divirtam-se. [MP3] 2Ks Mixtape 01. Pharrell – "Frontin (feat. Jay-Z)'" AKA "a música [...]
Coming out of Canada and signed to the delicious Arts & Crafts label is Taylor Kirk, the core member of Timber Timbre. Coming in under the guise of folk rock, the album is more of an acoustic blues album with a spooky malevolent streak running through it. Initially the echoed vocal sound and sparse acoustic instruments reminds you of Richard Hawley to some extent – and that's a real good thing. The feeling that this was recorded in a wooden, velvet-draped taxidermists shed just won't leave for some reason, but if there was ever music to be recorded in a [...]
A couple of schoolteachers I know are feeling a little bit down at the moment. Firstly, they have to put up with the unusually cold weather that Ireland, like everywhere else, is experiencing at the moment. Secondly, they have to stay home from school until Thursday as all national and secondary schools in Ireland will be closed until then. Despite this, Mary and Dave have been putting a brave face on it and this weekend they decided to build a couple of snowpeople in their backyard. As you can see from the photo*, both of them seem to [...]
Filed under: Down the Front! Location: Marina, Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex TN40 1DP. Website: http://www.dlwp.com Capacity: 1,500 in the concert hall. Come to see: Well, Vampire Weekend for starters. The Afro-pop-influenced indie scenesters are kicking off their UK tour supporting new album 'Contra' with a show at the Pavilion. Something of a modernist classic, the venue's much more than a music venue -- in fact concerts are a pretty [...]

Hey, remember this from Monday ? It's Richard Hawley in a cave doing a song called "Crawfish". When I posted this on Monday, I wasn't sure if the song was a cover or not. After doing some extensive research (i.e. typing "crawfish song" in Google), it turns out that the song is definitely a cover. Not only that, it's an Elvis cover from his 1958 film and album, King Creole . Let's watch! And here it is without the visual element: [...]

OMGOMGOMGOMG OMG OMG !!!!OMGOMG!!!!OMGOMGOGMOGOMGMO GMOMGMG!!!!! IT'S A NEW DIVINE COMEDY SONG! AND IT'S . . . well, it's okay. A little slight - probably more suited for a B-side - but still . . . woo! And it namechecks Blur and The Wannadies. OMG - I like those bands, too! *sigh* We have so much in common. What else were my favorites up to last month? Here's Richard Hawley in a very cold cave doing something called "Crawfish". It's about catching and preparing [...]
Creating a Top 50 Albums list is never easy. You have to battle with what you think the world believes, and what you truly believe in your heart, to be solid jams. We have even more trouble because we have to three writers, all who have different ideas, and we have to make those ideas fit into a neat box. Well, we got it done, and honestly, our criteria was based on two things: how great we thought the album was, artistically speaking, and how long we listened to it without getting bored. That's it. It's fool proof; you might [...]
16. Richard Hawley - Truelove's Gutter There's something incredibly intimate about Richard Hawley. See him perform, and he's a lively, witty raconteur, but on record that is all dialled back to a deep, comfortable and incredibly domestic sort of warmth. Richard Hawley - For Your Lover Give Some Time 17. AA Bondy - When the Devil's Loose AA Bondy has similar qualities to Richard Hawley, in that he [...]
