Fang Island began, oddly enough, as an art school project while the band members were attending the prodigious Rhode Island School of Design (also the foundation for Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Les Savvy Fav, Six Finger Satellite, Lightning Bolt and some band called the Talking Heads.) According to guitarist Jason Bartell, the goal was to "make music for people who like music." That is, music without irony that harnesses its uplifting qualities. Just like a classic rock song or classical symphony can stir us emotionally, Fang Island exists to unlock that spirit. Fang Island is guitarist Jason Bartell, [...]

Sorry for the lack of updates the past few weeks, as I felt I needed a little break from the blog. Considering it's only March (seriously, it's already March!), it may seem odd that I would already need some time away, but hey, it happens! With that being said, the first thing to scratch off the list upon updating is catching up with the album releases from the past weeks, including this week as well. And as you notice, there's a ridiculous amount of releases that made their way down the pipe - almost too many to [...]
Son Lux (born Ryan Lott), the anticon. composer and remixer who made a name for himself with 2008's At War with Walls and Mazes , has spent the last couple of years composing music for dance companies and remixing My Brightest Diamond albums . Now, he's released quite an ambitious EP with a very unique concept. Called Weapons , after the track of the same name on At War , the EP features six new versions of the original song, the melody of which finds itself permeating other spots on At War [...]
Classical training is generally regarded as a positive influence on pop music. No one wishes to restrain ideas that originate from the theoretical intricacies of music, so the knowledge is neither looked upon as extraneous nor pretentious. To commit oneself to intensive training in this vein is exemplary of artistic passion in its own right, [...]

Owing to his and my respective vacations (but mostly mine), this week's " Drake's Take " is coming at ya a little late. Enjoy! -ed. Drake's Take: New Releases 02.16.10 It's a deeper week than last, but not as top heavy. I've been loving this new Field Music release, and the Freeway & Jake One joint is a charmer. Elsewhere, there's the latest from Robert Pollard, Local Natives, Mumford & Sons, Adam Green, Tindersticks, Lightspeed Champion, Juliana Hatfield, The Art Museums and [...]
Is it just me or have the weeks somehow gotten shorter while also managing to get busier. After all, it's already Friday, but it comes after tons of festival announcements (Sasquatch! included), an attempted stabbing of Axl Rose , and the lineup unveiling for CoS SXSW Day Party #1 . Oy vey. Needless to say, this week's Friday Mixtape comes as a welcome relief! So, enjoy... after all, next week will be here before you know it! NEW Singles: "Red Seas" by Clogs [...]

I'm off to Mexico for the next 10 days, so forgive the brevity/sloppiness/unintelligi ble babble, as I'm firing this off between packing and shut-eye. It's a deeper week than last, but not as top heavy. I've been loving this new Field Music release, and the Freeway & Jake One joint is a charmer. Elsewhere, there's the latest from Robert Pollard, Local Natives, Mumford & Sons, Adam Green, Tindersticks, Lightspeed Champion, Juliana Hatfield, The Art Museums and a special Preservation Hall Jazz Band benefit release featuring guest vocals from an eclectic collection of voices like Tom Waits, Jim James, Pete Seeger, Jason [...]

Great things happen when you least expect it. For example, when we began piece together this week's edition of the Friday Mixtape, we never thought it would turn out to be one of the best ever. Sure, we assumed this week's mix, which features the best new singles, remixes, covers, and mp3s from some up-and-comers you just might want to check out, would be good. But this good? Nah! Enjoy!

Skins hace un rato que dejo las cómodas y solitarias alcantarillas y ahora me vengo enterando que Jamie Brittain el creador de la serie, esta planeando lanzar un libro de Skins y el rumor sobre una película ya es todo un hecho, y que se mueran pero alguien en Norteamerica esta muy interesada en una versión gringa de Skins, bueno en algún momento tenia que joderse la serie pero porque tan pronto. Al mail me han preguntado sobre la canción del capitulo especial "Secret Party" cuando Anwar y Maxxie van corriendo, el tema es The [...]
So I've raved about Ryan Lott's solo project, Son Lux , a few times here on f/k, but this time I have a thumpin' mp3 to go along with the claims. For some reason J.C. Penny sponsored a CD of "Don't You (Forget About Me)" covers. The original, which was written for the 1985 movie The Breakfast Club , was performed by the Scottish new wave band Simple Minds . It has appeared on many Television shows, in many movies, and has been covered my many bands, but this version done [...]

Hopefully on this so called "hexed" day I end up with a little more luck than last Friday. I was doing a good thing and finally going to the doctor to see if everything was running okay. Seemed I didn't have my tetanus shot up to date so I rolled up my sleeve and got 'er done. Which in turn led to four days of high fever - thus complicating any substance of a weekend. Thanks Doc. Oh well. This weekend seems like it should be sunshine and roses...unless... mp3: My Brightest Diamond - Apples (Remixed by [...]
