by kevin diamond It's my Birthday today, and I'm 26. I'm on the old side of Twenty, and I'm never going back. So I've made the decision that I'm gonna post whatever I want to today. I hope you enjoy, but really, I don't care if you do, because this post is for ME. Being friends with your favorite bands is awesome, because you get access to songs that may never see the light of day. Sam Sundos, of The Sundelles , sent me this little ditty a week [...]
Goodness I've been out of action for awhile! I've got a few reasons, and a couple more excuses, but I'll save that for a much larger post that I'm planning. I've been keeping my eye on the remixing scene during my absence, and it's been pretty slow. No major activity by Soulwax or any other big name, and no real key albums dropping to remix. Simply: it's the slow season for remixes. So let's just take a moment to relax to some Beach Boys shall we? The Beach Boys - [...]
Every now and then, there comes a time in our society when a song is released that changes the world. This is one of those times. Kim Zolciak 's "Tardy for the Party" isn't merely 'just another dance song'-it's a new way of life. The song speaks to an entirely new generation of sound, crushing the formulaic robo-noise of contemporary radio while at the same time challenging notions of sexuality, conformity and racial tension. If I were told to rank this song against all modern music, it would [...]
I am feeling a little bit out of it today. It seems like it's taking me forever to wake up. The result of this is often that I say inappropriate things to people. Not inappropriate like NSFW, but inappropriate like WTF? Example: Friend: "Hey, what's up" Me: "What? What is up? Oh. Yes. Hi. Hello." When I'm feeling particularly asleep on the subway, I often cook up ridiculous ideas that I think are awesome until I fully wake up. This morning, I was thinking about gay marriage, mostly because Gov. Paterson has been pushing [...]
I am feeling a little bit out of it today. It seems like it's taking me forever to wake up. The result of this is often that I say inappropriate things to people. Not inappropriate like NSFW, but inappropriate like WTF? Example: Friend: "Hey, what's up" Me: "What? What is up? Oh. Yes. Hi. Hello." It's not that I'm trying to be rude. It's not that I forgot your name. It's not that I didn't see you. I'm just not awake yet. When I'm feeling particularly asleep on the subway, I often cook up ridiculous ideas that [...]
Candy Claws hail from Fort Collins in Colorado; if you are up to scratch with your US geography you will appreciate that the Centennial State is filled with natural resources and wonderful landscapes but certainly does not boast its own seafront, until Hollywood's various doomsday prophecies come to fruition, that is. The bands debut 'In The [...]
United Kingdom Hip Hop / Baroque Pop / Funk There's no doubt that The Beach Boys ' Pet Sounds is one of the most important musical recordings of our time. It has influenced popular music for decades, and remained critically acclaimed as one of, if not the, best albums ever made. What a special and risky idea it is to want to create a remixed Pet Sounds album, no? Essentially, it's somewhat disrespectful to do such a [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Los Angeles is a deservedly proud musical town, having brought the world the likes of the Doors , the Beach Boys , Guns N' Roses , Jane's Addiction , Red Hot Chili Peppers , X, NWA and so many more. On Tuesday night, the new crop of L.A. music took the stage at Gibson Amphitheater for 'L.A. 101,' a celebration of the town's current scene. Fittingly, Silver Lake's Silversun Pickups , the biggest band to emerge from [...]
Filed under: News , New Music Less than two months after reviving his Pax-Am Records imprint to "fill your fall with vinyl, digital singles and T-shirts you don't need," Ryan Adams has lived up to that promise, releasing new sides to fans nearly every two weeks. Even if critics have accused Adams of being prolific to a fault, his fans have gladly snatched up the collectible pink marble vinyl single, ' Oblivion/People Need Sunlight ,' which is already sold out. Until a digital version of those tracks hits [...]
With today's Top 5 I am starting the ATH Book Club. This is a list of the best books about music I've ever read. Mine are all biographies, but any old book about music can qualify. Obviously I haven't read everything out there, so if I missed something important let me know. I'm always up for a good book recommendation, and I hope I have a few on my list that you might want to check out. So without further ado, follow the jump for my Top 5 music books. [...]

Eddie Argos , self-professed lover of comics and lead singer and lyricist for Art Brut , has a way of conducting himself in live performance that is, shall we say, interesting. As if a cross between a benevolent general and a wacky concert conductor, he asks his bandmates at the start of every song bandmates, " Are you ready, Art Brut ? " He doesn't sing so much as emote in a speaking voice, detailing anecdotes from his reality in a humorous way, backed by his extremely animated band. And as [...]
If the box set is about to die, at least it's going out with a bang. Where the Action Is! is one of the best designed box sets in the history of the product.

The title of this post refers to Jeremy's not so thinly veiled threat about what he'd do if I shared the sampler by his new band, Acres, Acres. Whilst I'm half amused / terrified by the prospecting of Warmsley appearing like a spirit at my door with a baseball bat / axe / spellbook / ready to boot my ass all the way to Hades' door, I'd much rather just listen to Acres, Acres on repeat. I'd really like to see this EP on a 10" sometime soon. Sort it out record label people. [...]

George Gershwin fue un músico de Nueva York (descendiente de judíos rusos) que destacó a principios del siglo XX por obras como Rhapsody In Blue (1924). Trabajó siempre muy cerca de su hermano mayor, Ira. Murió en 1937 a los 38 años, por un tumor cancerígeno en el cerebro. Ahora, Brian Wilson trabajará en las composiciones que esta figura dejó incompletas. El ex líder de los Beach Boys tendrá acceso completo a la colección de los Gershwin , que es controlada por su sobrino-nieto, Todd Gershwin. Al parecer, la familia está muy [...]
