Seeking a crash course in the Madison music scene, but don't know where to start? Then direct yourself to Comp-Elation . A compilation put together by a bunch of localish bands for the purpose of disseminating for free at shows. As a means to expand the scope of showgoers it is a brilliant idea. You can get it by attending a show by one of the bands below or ordering something from the gentle folks at Science of Sound . Artists on the comp are listed below: Quote: 1. Sleeping in the Aviary [...]
A few days ago, my colleague Andy Kellman directed me to a handful of YouTube clips from The Scene , Detroit's answer to Soul Train . The above video features the Funkateers, a pop-locking troupe from the show, choreographed to Tom Tom Club's "Wordy Rappinghood." It's pretty great stuff, not least because the faded video making everything green, blue, and orange actually enhances the experience by situating it as otherworldly, from another time. Below the cut, a few other gems from this after-school series. Teenagers [...]
We're Back! This is just a quick message to anyone that may have visited the site in the last week to find nothing but an error message. The problem was a long string of unfortunate events on our host's side which left us with only one option and that was to wait. We waited and everything is back up and completely operational with no loss of data. We have been assured that it will never happen again but we are putting in a better backup plan just in case.

After a lot of late nights, panic attacks and tantrums... all i can think is ...Thank fuck we don't have to look at the word press default anymore! Id like to thank Patch (also huge props to Steve for helping out) for all your hard work scripting this bad boy, all the other writers for awesome posts, JD for getting me onto this AND of course thanks to all the readers for not only your, umm, readinginging, but your input and opinions. It really feels like we have a little community going here! Hopefully you will like the things we [...]
!["Shhhh-it!": Idolator's Super-Secret Music Interview Series Goes Weekly [AnonIMous Interviews Series]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1290687_lg.jpg)
Every week, in the "Shhhh-it!" AnonIMous Super-Secret Music-Biz Interview Series (S-I!AS-SM-BIS for, uh, short) we interview a grizzled music industry veteran via the Absalom, Absalom! -like mysticism of instant messaging, lady mustaches and all. We talk about the person's job, the state of the industry, and whatever else comes to mind. This week, we bring you Mike Hellstrom, a music editor for an alternative weekly in a fairly large Southeastern city. His weekly is part of a very small chain but, as of right now, has complete autonomy. Given the news of the Chapter [...]

Coverage of "The Smell scene" in Los Angeles generally focuses on two bands with amazing live shows: Health and No Age. Much like a lot of the music press, we do love Health (heck, check out the interview above), but judging from all the hype, you'd think those two bands play The Smell every night. Of course, they're just the tip of an expansive, diverse iceberg. This diversity sets the LA scene apart from many in the past (punk in NYC, grunge in Seattle) as there is not a cohesive stylistic sound. Bands range from [...]
Heel kort door de bocht vormen Goldies Timeless, New Forms van Roni Size & Reprazent en Inside the Machine van Bad Company de 3 belangrijkste drum 'n bass-albums aller tijden. Het belang van deze albums (de eerste 2 alweer meer dan 10 jaar oud, de 3e uit 2000) was dat ze onbedoeld drum 'n bass op de kaart buiten de eigen scene zetten, en zo voor een stormachtige ontwikkeling zorgden. Nu zijn Goldie en vooral Roni Size op productievlak al jarenlang richting de schijndood, maar tijdens mijn vakantie in Manchester hoorde ik in platenwinkel Eastern Bloc Records over [...]
Paul Rose sempre privilegiou a criatividade dos artistas envolvidos em seus projetos. O Hotflush Recordings – uma de suas iniciativas mais ousadas – é um selo que faz história, lançando novos nomes e investindo na qualidade sonora da cena. Quem faz seu último título é Emi Ono , produtora japonesa que vive hoje em Ontario, Canadá. Sua música não pode ser classificada com facilidade, variando do Dubstep ao Techno, com claras influências minimalistas. O som valoriza a diversidade de timbres e a presença de um subgrave gordo e poderoso. [...]
Proto techno uit het lokale Detroit tvprogramma The Scene uit 1982 van A Number of Names. Kende Sharivari niet maar het klinkt erg bekend. We are the robots, ich bin ein spacer frau en acid in my fridge hoor je er moeiteloos in terug. En wat een heerlijk filmpje, een programma zonder video's. cool. a A Number of Names - Sharivari

The updates from the music scene have been sparse as we float through the summer music doldrums. Saturday is a big night for Crustacean Records as the Madison-based record label unleashes the new DVD Drown Out the Daylights . The film will be screened at the Majestic Theater starting at 8 p.m. followed by performances by Mad Trucker Gone Mad (10 PM), The Skintones (11 PM), The Gusto (midnight) and Screamin' Cyn Cyn & The Pons (1 AM). This rockumentary takes a look behind the label and features interviews and performances by the label's artists.
Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons aren't an unknown name in these parts of Wisconsin. Originally based out of Appleton, Chisel and his Americana band mates spent the last few years building a reputation for engaging live performances around the region until they were eventually signed by RCA Records in 2007. The band will be releasing their EP Cabin Ghosts later this month and to help push the band forward as they hit the road for a lengthy cross country tour (which currently skips Madison, but hits Shank Hall in Milwaukee on July 22) the following two [...]
The last time that I saw Union City they were known as The Scene, and I was very impressed with their authentic Brit-Pop sound. Well, in a matter of only a few months, the band has changed their name, morphed from a four piece into a three piece and released an outstanding EP. But the sound that they have carefully honed has remained very much in tact. Their show at The Mod Club on Saturday night was touted as their Toronto CD release show, although basically it was more of a warm [...]
There are times when we all sit back and think about the many obstacles DJs, ranging from the bedroom to the main stages, must deal with throughout our musicultural journey. Self described as a 'producer/remixer/singer/songw riter,' Detroit native Aaron-Carl tunes into an ongoing case of the jades that I believe many DJs here in the USA unnecessarily have to deal with. In his post, State of the Scene, on his blog The Revelations of Aaron-Carl , AC makes three powerful observations about other scenes that I know resonate [...]
