So the waiting period is officially over. The illustrious Shawn Fogel has brought us some new dishes of indie-pop deliciousness to dribble over. Indeed, the comeback of Golden Bloom is, on the surface, a simple EP. But March To The Drums is far from just a collection sample tracks to hold you over until something better comes along. This is the "better" that came along. It is the sort of miniature opus we can always expect from Mr. Fogel. [...]

![Neutral Uke Hotel [Feature]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2730175_lg.jpg)
Don't you love Neutral Milk Hotel? Who doesn't, right? Well, it's safe to say that nobody loves them more than Shawn Fogel (of Golden Bloom ). If you think your adoration can overpower his, try doing a complete tribute set of NMH's indie rock classic Aeroplane Over The Sea ....with a ukulele. Even then, you might not be able to match the beauty and brilliance of one of the most creative cover acts being produced right now. Neutral Uke Hotel is a brilliant [...]

There is no name more recognized the world over than Michael Jackson . Just over two months before his 51st birthday, the King of Pop was rushed to the hospital for cardiac arrest and pronounced dead yesterday, June 25, 2009. His career began four decades ago with The Jackson 5 and blossomed into a rich and successful solo careers spanning decades. Five of his solo studio albums are among the world's best-selling records: Off the Wall (1979), Thriller (1982) with over 100 million copies sold, Bad (1987), [...]
Hartless Hind Records has recently released Up End Atom: A Tribute to Atom and His Package . Atom and His Package may have been the world's most unlikely rock star. A chubby kid with a high voice on stage armed with nothing but a musical synthesizer and a good sense of humor played his way into the hearts of many. His contemporaries pay tribute to him on this record. Showing the breadth and width of his influences, artists such Popwreckoning favorite Golden Bloom [...]
One of Popwreckoning's favorite bands, Golden Bloom , in part vecause of amazing music they play but also because front man Shawn Fogel is one of the nicest guys we've ever met, will [finally! =)] be releasing their debut full-length, Fan The Flames , on August 18th. The multi-talented instrumentalist Fogel is as comfortable on piano, bass guitar and tenor sax as he is on a keyboard, harmonica, and drums - proven by his numerous side projects. He demonstrates his talents by playing all the instruments on [...]
Some photos from this past Sunday's Bag of Songs Night @ M Room in Philadelphia with Canadian Invasion , Golden Bloom and Sudden Ensemble . Many many thanks to everyone who came out and all of the bands who trekked through the freaky early evening hail storm to get to Philly and deliver an excellent night of music. Jim Foley & Chris Morita Of Canadian Invasion George Groves(drums) And Eric Miller of Canadian [...]
I've been raving about Canadian Invasion 's new record, Three Cheers For The Invisible Hand to just about anyone who cares to listen ever since I got an early preview a year or so ago. It's one of 2009's best records so far, filled with darkly satirical lyrics surrounded in gorgeous chiming guitar pop.[ More ] The boys delivered a standout show to a packed World Cafe Live a couple of weeks ago at their CD Release party, so don't miss out on what promises to be a just as amazing a show in the more intimate [...]

Golden Bloom - "Doomsday Devices" To enter to win one of three signed 73 by [...]
It seems appropriate that we should begin our new feature, "mp3 Minute" with Popwreckoning favorite Shawn Fogel 's recently recorded minute long ditty, "Your Minute of Fame". The idea for a Chicago-themed song came from a flight Fogel was on headed towards the Windy City for a gig. Temporary writer's block hit after the first line (" Chicago snow is white and it glistens in the night sky as I look out the window of my plane "), until Fogel returned home to New York to hear about the scandal surrounding and arrest of Chicago [...]
FROM THE WORLD OF SPORTS: I have apologized for my occasional deviation into the world of sports on this website, but in this case I'm too excited to care. I am a baseball fanatic and a lifelong Red Sox fan. My favorite team just re-signed my favorite player - Sox firstbaseman Kevin Youkilis , ensuring I will be able to watch him play here in a Boston uniform for at least four more years!
