So Jamie's been doing his whole "Off My Radar" thing, and while I'd love to contribute, I don't really want to step on his toes, you know? It's a neat feature and unique to him, so I'll let him stick with that little Ed. Note and go along on my own way. In this post I'm going to toss up a few songs that I have been listening to with the close of the year. This is not a comprehensive list by any means - there are so many more songs I've been spinnin', [...]

Welcher Musiker träumt nicht davon, in einer einsamen Blockhütte ein Album aufzunehmen? Das holländische Projekt In A Cabin With machts möglich. Und bietet gleichzeitig einen kostenlosen Streifzug durch die Musikszene der Niederlande. Es ist nicht leicht das ideale Refugium zu finden, um in aller Ruhe ein Album aufzunehmen. Denn wer hat schon Freunde, die ein Bauernhaus [...]
Last night I wrote a review from a band called We Vs. Death and stumbled upong the label that released the record Beep! Beep! Back up the Truck . Something has to be written about this label that is doing things a little bit different, and I mean that in the best possible way. First off you can download all of the music they release from numerous bands fro free. For those who like the hard copy, you can do that do at very resonable prices. They also have a partnership with the torrent site Mininova that [...]

Suggested tracks: 'Old, Dim Light', 'Dandelion', 'I Shall Cross This River', 'Heirloom', 'Reverence for Fallen Trees' The Black Atlantic - I Shall Cross This River The Black Atlantic - Old, Dim Light [...]
So I am not one for actually "celebrating" whatever holiday it is. I guess I am either complacent or I just don't care, wait... No seriously, I might be more of a "Hey, it's a long weekend" instead of a "Hey, I'm excited to be able to have the time to get together with my family and friends and celebrate "X" because this anniversary of the occasion has deep meaning to me" type of guy. So, yeah, whatever. I can be thankful for a long weekend though as that is always better than not having a long weekend. [...]
Every two months In A Cabin With is inviting one or more Dutch musicians to travel to a beautiful spot somewhere in the world to write, produce and record an album in collaboration with local musicians, in 10 to 14 days. This location could be a farmhouse in Sweden, a ...
The Black Atlantic is an acoustic indie pop band based out of Groningen, Holland. The Black Atlantic's music is in introspective and intimate affair of melancholy, folk influenced acoustic pop, relying heavily on vocal harmonies and melody on soft strummed guitars, piano and minimal percussion. The band often uses nature imagery to express their stories on love, death and family. The band has toured in various incarnations around the world (US, EU, UK) and have played with bands such as Nada Surf, Patrick Watson and Saturday Looks Good to Me. They recently finished their debut album, entitled "Reverence for [...]

ein interessantes neues label offeriert sich da aus nachbars landen. in utrecht stationiert ist beep! beep! back up the truck und erhält uns dank creative commons licence die monetäre unabhängigkeit. so sie denn je bestand hatte. zumindest muss man hier für den download nichts abdrücken. kann man aber. auch die jeweilige musik als cd oder lp erwerben. ein deal. ob es ein guter ist, bleibt zumindest zweifelhaft, wenn am ende für viel arbeit kaum etwas als gegenwert übrig bleibt. the black atlantic ist die hier wahrzunehmende mannschaft. sie stammt aus groningen [...]
It's time to catch up with some of the new stuff, and new discoveries, that have come our way recently. We've tried to focus this time on some of the less mainstream, but no less worthy releases.First up is Sic Alps and their new single L'Mansion which has a cleaner sound than much of their previous work and somehow it is more agreeable too. In fact it is a pretty bouncy acoustic strumalong and

Introduced and recommended to me from the good folks at The Waiting Room (see them on the blogroll to your right please) - The Black Atlantic are currently on hardcore repeat over here. As soon as you spin it a bit, you will feel the same way I am sure. The Album is Reverence for Fallen Trees and has just been released (presumably on August 26th via their website) and they are giving it away for the low low low low price of your email address! I am pretty sure this is [...]
