A veces tiendo a olvidar que el ao pasado Shearwater puso a la venta un lbum de larga duracin, pero aunque "Animal Joy" no fue un disco malo, me parece que dej mucho que desear a diferencia de sus previos lanzamientos. Sin embargo, les recomiendo mucho que si an no se han clavado tanto en lo que hace esta banda, lo hagan, ya que realmente vale mucho la pena dejar que sus composiciones viajen a travs de nuestros odos, y an ms si tenemos en cuenta que para el Record Store Day se juntaron con Sharon Van [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-29T07:20:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4920835/picks-of-the-week/

Norman Wong Increasingly, Friday posts are for clearing off the decks of whatever hasn't gone out earlier in the week, but that doesn't mean the content isn't quality - this ain't no fire sale, son. But it also doesn't mean I'm not giving some stuff away. Because I am. Earlier this week, Toronto electro-operatic sensation Austra announced details of their second album, to be entitled Olympia and due out June 18. And because they believe in deeds, not words, they also made the first single from the new record available [...]]]> text/html 2013-02-19T04:03:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4787286/listen-shearwater-absolute-beginners-david-bowie-cover/
Shearwater stopped by Austin's WUTX radio station on Valentine's Day and was kind enough to play a few songs, including this stripped-down version David Bowie's "Absolute Beginners," from the soundtrack of the film of the same name. Singer Jonathan Meiburg was also kind enough to drop this stream of the performance on Shearwater's Facebook page earlier today. Check out the song below.]]> text/html 2013-01-28T11:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4745458/2012-top-lists-chris/
Chris ' Top Lists of 2012 This was a good year for music. It usually always is. Mostly, the more one pays attention to new material, the more they think, This was a good year for music. Its safe to say that a lot of the bands I adored back in college took a break this year (save a few, see below), which left a power vacuum in my heart.

Louis CK - Word Recorded in 2010, Louis CK's Word was used in bits and pieces in those cutaway comedy scenes in Louie. As such, it suffered a bit because you've probably heard some of this before.
