In an era of mass-produced, Garageband manufactured music, authenticity can be a hard to find. The title of this album, "Time's All Gone" , hints at a throwback to simpler times, and so it is: at the height of "Time's All Gone" , you can almost imagine being in the room with Nick Waterhouse as his band play small snippets from another time, his regal backup vocals, his own unsettling voice, and the noisy band that are too riled to play better. It's reminiscent of a past three decades before his time [...]

Son quatrième et nouvel album Sleep Over ne fait pas exception. Sur ce disque, on peut y entendre des gens aux talents remarquables provenant d'horizons très différents tels que Roxanne Shante , le roi du calypso Mighty Sparrow [...]
![JUNOfest @ Dom Polski [March 30, 2012]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4169367_lg.jpg)
After the remarkable and insane show at Babylon. I headed to Dom Polski for something different. I got there and saw two acts playing. Playing at the show were: • Socalled • Sound of Lions I arrived and already Ottawa's Sound of Lions was into their set. I got there for the last 2-3 songs. They never disappoint live and the audience was loving [...]
If Socalled's last record was about knocking down cultural walls, this is about the sweet synthesis that happens long after those borders have blurred. Canadian hip-hop eccentric Socalled is known mostly as the dude who meshed Klezmer - the traditional Jewish dance music - with hip-hop. His last album, 2007's Ghettoblaster, was an odd and brilliant album, one that subverted our ideas of what hip-hop could be by playing with both new influences and different structures. On top of his seamless meshing of Klezmer styles and sounds, he also shifted the shape of verses, so that songs often morphed...
SoCalled , ainsi s'appelle ce talentueux touche à tout un peu fou, concepteur du hip-hop klezmer. Déglingué du break beat, il bricole des airs traditionnels yiddish avec du rap old-school, des envolées flûtées et des samples électro. Gonzales , Fred Wesley et autres guests d'envergure apparaissent sur Sleepover , son dernier album sorti en juin dernier. Un opus qu'il offre sur le plateau avec une énergie débordante, un véritable mix jouissif ! Les cuivres d' Arat Kilo attisent la soirée avec A Night in Abyssinia . Des origines [...]

Good day, everyone, can you people believe it's already October? Sheesh, Halloween is right around the corner, which means free candy, interesting costume choices (who's Quailman this year?), and plenty of horror movies on TV. Oh, October is such a great month. Even as everybody begins to get ready for the impending hibernation, we over here at Cluster 1 are still plugging away at the web to bring you the best videos. You all may be getting ready to bundle up, but chances are your computer (or laptop, or iPad, or tablet, or phone, or whatever) won't be too far [...]
Heading to SAN DIEGO next month to pick up this Turntable console from the 60s my aunt scored for me, and While I'm there I'm hopping to get tatted up by Luke Wessman.

Teaming up with the Brooklyn spitter Talib Kweli , Southern California rapper M.E.D. (aka Medaphoar) throws it back a bit with the Karriem Riggins -produced, fittingly-titled track, "Classic." Watch the Stones Throw crew put on their best threads for the track below:
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Tasha Komery, Calgary Folk Fest Flickr This year, perhaps more than any other in its three decade history, the organizers of the Calgary Folk Festival were faced with a conundrum. As acts such as Mumford and Sons , Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver enjoy an unexpected rein at the top of the charts -- a clue that indie-folk's popular revival [...]
"Oh my God. Wait. You haven't heard about The Steelwells? Have you, like, been living under a rock?" ...is what I will say to you in 2012 when you are still wondering who this band is. If my crystal ball is correct, this group of hard-working fellows are bound to blow the heck up any moment now. I mean, the dudes just finished touring with Foster The People this year and even got some coveted showtime at SXSW in March. (And, I should add, they were featured in the February 2011 issue [...]

It has been a busy week for myself. Since I went to NXNE in Toronto, Canada. Without delay here is this week's music singles chart for the week of June 19-25. It would be no surprise that this act would be #1 this week. Having to see their performance on Saturday, I was so enthralled by the perfomance. Talking about Montreal's Grimes. Check out the chart.
