Duffy, Kate Perry und Amy McDonald? Schnee von gestern. Wir stellen euch die Ladies vor, welche mit ihren bezaubernden Stimmen das neue Jahr prägen werden. The Chapin Sisters Abigail, Lily und Jessica Chapin sind die Chapin Sisters. Zuerst der Klatsch: Jessica ist die Tochter von Horror-Film-Regisseur Wes Craven, die anderen beiden, sind ihre Halbschwestern und Töchter von Folk-Legende Tom Chapin. Zusammen musizieren sie zuckersüss und weniger blutrünstig und zähnefletschend wie es Daddy Wes vermuten lassen würde. Die drei Schwestern bekamen [...]
Like ( ) Rocket from the Crypt - R.I.P. Not really my kind of album, but the fact that these guys are talented enough to keep my interest says a lot. Rocket from the Crypt - A+ in Arson Class The Chapin Sisters - Lake Bottom I didn't really listen to it that often after I reviewed it. Maybe once or twice. Over all [...]
Quoi? Encore un top 2008? Eh, inutile de nier, vous adorez ça, mon compteur de stats est là pour le prouver . Et puis comme les filles n'occupaient pas une place très importante dans mon top albums, j'ai pensé qu'elles méritaient d'avoir leur top à elles, parce qu'il y a quand même eu de très beaux albums féminins cette année. Voici donc selon moi les 10 meilleurs albums féminins de l'année (vous noterez que, pour changer, je n'ai pas mis les pochettes mais les photos des artistes...): [...]
This is the conclusion of a two-part tribute to my favorite three pop chix. But the first post seems to have disappeared. Extremely odd. So here's the whole thing, with a zip file. I had written a whole tribute to the three artists, explaining how Madonna is like the Father, Britney is the Son, and Cyndi is the Holy Ghost--the least popular, but the most talented. Anyway, I'm pissed off. So I hope you like it. I had to reconstruct letters A through K from memory, and there's more in [...]
This is the rare example of a post written because I found a picture. I recently, on my old site, published a festival of "Toxic" covers , accompanied by some wild Britbrit pix. Then I found this picture. So, here we go again. More Britney tunes. 'Cause she's the greatest songwriter of our generation, and folks would rather cover her than Bob Dylan. 1. Lucky-Blink 182 2. Hit Me [...]
Happy Birthday Madonna! When I'm 50 may I look half as good as you do (except how you've been looking the past few weeks...not so good)! There is nothing I could possibly say about Madonna that hasn't already been said, enjoy the covers, I have a ton, so maybe we will see a part II some day. If I had money I'd see her on her upcoming tour, it looks like she'll be pulling out an awful lot of the classics, I hope her foot heals quick for all of you that do have tickets! Tracks in chronological order, or [...]
Haley Bonar: Big Star (mp3) You can dress yourself up, put on a little bit of make-up. Go out and get a hair-cut and stumble out into the morning. They'll all hate you tomorrow when no one buys your single, and when you fall we'll look the other way. They're gonna buy you airplanes and fly over the oceans and give you the loving that you need. [...]
The Chapin Sisters - Lake Bottom Verdict: Like () It's like what Kittie would be like if they grew up like the Watson Twins. Amazing voices, dark lyrics, but, unfortunately, not everything is as spot on as you might hope it is. Still, talented group of gals. The Chapin Sisters - Let Me Go The Chapin Sisters - Kill Me Now The Chapin Sisters - Can't We Please
Toxic is one of the greatest hits of the tabloid-most-wanted Britney Spears. Written by Bloodshy & Avant, Cathy Dennis, and Henrik Jonback for her 4th album In the Zone, the hit was recorded by several artists in different music styles. I like this music so much, but I think the Mark Ronson version kicks [...]
Leurs harmonies vous enchanteront, vous tomberez sous le charme de leurs mélodies en apesanteur, mais attention, leurs textes pourraient bien vous glacer le sang! Ce sont les Chapin Sisters, 3 soeurs donc, deux d'entre elles ayant pour père le chanteur folk pour enfants Tom Chapin et la 3ème étant la fille du cinéaste d'épouvante Wes Craven... Un premier indice du caractère volontiers macabre de
The Chapin Sisters are sisters Abigail, Jessica and Lily. They are a Los Angeles-based folk trio that sing beautiful melancholy music that reminds me very much of the many folk-country classics. I first discovered them when on one of my many recent searches for great cover songs. It seems that Britney Spears' "Toxic" has become the new "it" song to cover. Admittedly, it is one of the few songs by her I think deserves to be covered though, and the covers I have heard have all been so great that you almost wish Britney hadn't gotten her [...]
Happy Record Store Day ! Don't forget to support your local independent record store and see whoever is performing at that specific record store. I know that the Dresden Dolls are going to be working the register at the Cambridge, MA, Newbury Comics and that Robby Roadsteamer is playing at the Nashua, NH, Newbury Comics. Also Björk will be screening the 3-D version of her new video for Wanderlust at a few select stores. Unfortunately I'm working today so I can't attend any of [...]
For those days when the Pippettes are too darn chirpy, and what you really want to do is wallow, The Chapin Sisters might be just what the doctor ordered. The Chapin Sisters are three sisters from New York whose blend of traditional folk, lush three part harmonies and indie rock moodiness first came to light on their self titled EPs, and can now be heard on their first full length album: Lake Bottom LP . While the sound is gentle folk and the vocal harmonies are exquisite (sometimes [...]
Meh. I think I'm just going to have to do an iTunes shuffle and put up a track. I have plenty of albums to review, but am just not feeling it today. Is that okay? Well, it will just have to be. Alright shuffle whatcha got for me today? The Chapin Sisters - " Don't Love Me " (mp3) We got lucky friends, this track is from an album which only released a couple of weeks ago. An LP from "The Chapin Sisters" which is actually quite a fantastic album called [...]
The last few weeks of December are probably the busiest time of the year for everyone. Admittedly, we were a little overwhelmed just this past week and we didn't even really do anything. And then you look at the lineups this weekend and you're like double-you-tee-eff... We won't (because we can't) list every single great show you should check out this weekend but just know that pretty much
BABY MAX AND AUNTIE JAX [MP3] Crystal Skulls - Baby Boy I have been doing a whole lot of NOTHING in the State of Deseret (aka UTAH) for the last four days. The only things I have managed to do since getting strip searched at the airport are babysitting my nephew, sleeping, knitting 3 scarves, and watching 30+ hours of the History Channel (I'm fully engrossed in Biblical Battles, The history of Christ, and other [...]
Don't know if clubs are getting in the gift-giving mood, but this week is absolutely loaded with shows. We'll try to keep to the basics... Tonight at Spaceland is gigantic. Eskimohunter, Miss Derringer, LoveLikeFire, and Sky Parade. It's like a dream or something... Silversun Pickups headlines two sold-out shows at the Troubadour over the weekend. It took the band like five years to do it and
