Antes que, por qualquer distração, o ano de 2011 chegue ao fim, e abrindo aqui uma brecha neste desconfortável silêncio imposto pela falta de tempo de aqui vir arejar o tasco amarelo, eis o alinhamento dos meus 50 concertos prediletos deste ano. Como sempre, muita coisa ficou por ver e ouvir. Bom 2012 para quem quiser, mesmo que não possa, continuar a frequentar as salas de concertos por esse

Tweet Photo © Darian Scatton Philadelphia-based Benjamin Schurr is the one-man phenomenon known as Br'er . "City Of Ice" , Br'er's sophomore album, is a follow-up to 20072s "Of Shemales And Kissaboos" , and is released via label Edible Onion on November 22nd. It's fearless, dark, challenging, and sentimental. This is the most challenging article I have written, about music that at its soul is uncompromising and willing [...]
Much of my 2011 was dedicated to travelling to various locations around the world and seeing as much music as I could. As a result, I saw a lot of music, and tried to write about as much of it as possible, but of course a number of great shows fell through the cracks for various reasons - laziness, distraction, or simply not knowing what to say at the time. The end of the year is a perfect time to revisit some of the "ones that got away." Now their stories can be told ... Hazel Dickens, March [...]
The Deadstock 33s are the next act to get the La Belle treatment - the new Parisian imprint has had a massive 2011 with The Supermen Lovers, Golden Bug, and Ilya Santana all featuring - well now it's time for Justin Robertson under his Deadstock 332s guise to release something genuinely forward-thinking on the Parisian imprint and when you hear 'Trixy' below you'll no why we say forward-thinking. Check out the wonderfully weird 'Trixy' and the amazing percussion of 'Spirit World' below and look out for a release December 19 with a remix by In Flagranti. [...]

Artist: R/D Release: Bay Crush Label: Tycho Records [TYCD29] R/D has been making some serious waves since his 2010 remix of Fever Ray's "I'm Not Done" which saw a #2 chart possition on the Hype Machine with 27,000 listens in just 3 days. Since then this California based producer has seen multiple top charting positions on platforms like The Hype Machine, Addictech and more, he also has the #1 most downloaded track from The Glitch Mob's "Starve The Ego, Feed The Soul" 2 volume remix album.

pic via As you may be aware, MetalSucks recently invited musicians from across the vast spectrum of the metalsphere to tell us what their favorite albums of 2011 have been. But the always-unique Eugene S. Robinson of Oxbow fame turned in a list of a somewhat different nature. The silver lining is, his list is so [...]
R/D live If you've been blessed with the chance to see R/D live you know this guy packs a dramatic punch to his music. Combining emotionally responsive synths with crushing beats and large basslines in real time via his keyboard and controllers, R/D's live show makes for [...]
As Rocktober draws to a close, there's little left to do but get all dressed up in Drive jackets and Kahl Drogo / Khaleesi from Game of Thrones and host a fun little party. The question arises: Do we get this party started or do we stick with the spookiness of Halloween? We decided to go with the latter and make a playlist (via Spotify ) of some of our favorite, scary, messed up, shifty, and uncomfortable songs to guarantee to to anything but get the party started. Well, it depends [...]

Tweet It's been nearly a year since Listen Before You Buy 's dream-pop darlings Silver Swans put out their " Secrets " EP. In September they gave us the sweet remix of Burning Hearts' " Into The Wilderness " as a reminder that they are still playing the fantastic music that has made them so easy to love but also still having their hands creating incredible music even if it's not a song of their own. A [...]

photos by Amanda Hatfield . words by Bill Pearis Silver Swans @ Public Assembly San Francisco's Silver Swans were a late addition to our day party on Friday afternoon (10/21) and their slinky synth pop made for a nice pairing with Xeno & Oaklander who played after them. If you missed them at CMJ you can still catch Silver Swans tonight (10/24) at Pianos . [...]

DOWNLOAD: Silver Swans - He Doesn't Know Why (Fleet Foxes) (MP3) Because I don't believe in things like sleep, rest and relaxation, it's no surprise that just hours before door times, we're announcing the final addition to the free BrooklynVegan Friday Day Party at Public Assembly (that RACES and Cold Specks are opening on stages 1 & 2 respectively). And that final band, who are playing in the TBA 2:45pm slot is [...]

Delicious new Oneohtrix Point Never again paired with other Daniel Lopatin outlets - after FRKWYS last time out , his rich body of collaborations, remixes, live takes & offcuts (almost all downloadable, by the way). & while his self-made video for the new release's haunting title track puts a kind of self-mocking emphasis on neo-kosmische's cartoonish side (drawing on the " saddest version of the most violen soviet cartoon ever ", according to one YouTube commenter ) - oddly, in a way, [...]
A debut single from Cue Fanfare, an inspired match of Rowena Dugdale and Rob Williams (formerly Santa Dog) and Alan Strawbridge and Holly McIntosh (from Schnauser). I always thought there was something very 4AD in the elegant, shimmering pop of Santa Dog and 'Robot' seems to continue the tradition; the bright, sparkling guitars and Rowena's precise vocals steadily build the tension until eventually the song bursts like fireworks in your head and champagne in your mouth. 'Leda and the Swan', a tale of swan-on-girl sex, is Greek myth with pop rhythms and a certain spacey feel. This [...]
