Vicki 's Top Lists of 2012 I went into 2012 with a very ambitious goal of trying to cover more musical ground than in the year before. I set up a playlist and began adding songs from all of the new releases, in an effort to keep track of them all. By March my playlist was already over 100 songs, and undoubtedly did not encapsulate everything new. This approach allowed me to sample a lot of different songs from a variety of artists, but I never really felt that I'd absorbed anything. More importantly, [...]

The long awaited new album from Aimee Mann, Charmer , is available now on Superego Records. Influenced by what Mann calls the “super pop” of the 70s and 80s, the album is her first release since 2008’s celebrated @#%&*! Smilers , which the BBC called “ undeniably beautiful .” Of Charmer, her eighth studio album, Mann comments, “ I’m fascinated by charming people and the whole idea of charm. It's hard to remember sometimes that there is usually an agenda behind the act of being charming, and that is what I'm most interested in. Is someone’s charm being [...]

Aimee will be performing here in Portland at The Aladdin Theatre on Oct 2nd
Mês passado vimos à famosa atriz de cinema Laura Linney , se tornar a versão robótica de Aimee Mann no clipe de Charmer . Hoje, dia oficial do lançamento de seu oitavo álbum, a cantora nos presenteia com mais um vídeo, dessa vez da faixa Labrador. Dirigido por Tom Scharpling , o clipe é um “remake” cômico de Voices Carry da Til Tuesday , antiga banda de Aimee , e conta com as participações do ator ganhador do Globo de Ouro John Hamm , e [...]
Nearly twenty years into her solo career, Aimee Mann draws on what she calls the "super pop" of the 70's and 80's for her aptly titled eighth album Charmer (September 18, Superego) . As is the case with just about all of Mann's distinctive songwriting, there's a darker meaning lurking in the shadows and Charmer , for all of it's sunny and deliciously melodious attributes, exposes some sharp teeth behind that winning smile. "I'm fascinated by charming people ," says Mann. "Is someone's charm being utilized just [...]

After Aimee Mann's satirical portrayal of herself as strugging musician moonlighting as a maid in a Portlandia skit, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that I haven't read more about her upcoming new album. Charmer will be released on September 18th. The video for the album's catchy title track stars actress Laura Linney as Aimee's [...]
A very funny first video for the title track from Mann's upcoming Charmer , due 9/18... See more MJTV video Listen to Musical Justice
Laura Linney não seria uma escolha imediata para interpretar Aimee Mann em um filme biográfico, mas Tom Scharpling foi além... e escalou a premiada atriz de cinema e da série de TV The Big C como uma cópia perfeita robótica de Aimee no novo clipe de Charmer . Como em todos os clipes dirigidos por Scharpling, o objetivo aqui é fazer rir - ou sorrir apenas, e isso, o clipe consegue. Começando com uma ponta do humorista John Hodgman, que sugere a Aimee a solução perfeita para resolver a fadiga da [...]

IN 1931, THE MASTER WAS preaching this Great Truth of salvation when He met a man named Elijah Poole in Detroit, Michigan. He chose him to be His Divine Representative in continuing this most difficult task of bringing truth and light to His lost and found people. For 3 1/2 years He taught and trained [...]
Sometime throwbacks can be incredibly refreshing. When you hear a track that reminds you of reams of music and the wealth of genres and niches you used to cherish it can be a pretty great thing. The funny thing about memory is also that what one song can dredge up from your musical past, can have an entirely different effect on someone else. They might hate it, or it could remind them of artists that differ wildly from yours! With that then, I bring your attention to Victory Garden, specifically their track 'Snake Charmer'. For me, it led [...]
A bands' sound matters. Well, it doesn't, of course - this is rock and roll, yeah? - but it does. Look: as much as Steve Albini insists he's a recording engineer, simply allowing a band to sound as they themselves desire, and not acting as their producer, he can't ignore artists repeatedly choosing him in the hope a bit of that wonderful Albini sound - and there is one - rubs off onto their work too. Bands always want to sound like themselves , but can't help being swayed by the [...]
Layin' one on Professor Longhair, Tipitina's, Jazz Fest, New Orleans, LA. May 2007. Préambule Il est souvent de bon ton, lors de discussions musicales, de faire des blagues sur tel ou tel genre de musique. C'est sympa, ça anime la discussion et permet aux amateurs moqués de se défendre.. Le Reggae, en particulier, n'évite pas ce genre d'attaques, la plus connue étant encore: Que dit un Rasta quand il arrête de fumer ? C'est quoi cette musique de merde [...]
This latest offering is one hell of a coup, with Swedish techno forerunners Minilogue’s sophomore Wagon Repair release. Following in the footsteps of 2007’s ‘Elephant’s Parade’, the Malmo duo have also released on such luminary labels as Cocoon, Crosstown Rebels and Traum Schallplatten. They have recently received critical acclaim for their artist album ‘Animals’ and [...]
Trojan Records was founded in 1967 by Jamaican-English producer Lee Gopthal as something of a sister label to Chris Blackwell's Island Records. It became one of the best-known and successful reggae labels, but it also bought out several independent Jamaican labels and ended up with a pretty good ska and rock-steady back catalog. In 1972, it went through these archives and put out a fantastic (if somewhat inaccurately-named) compilation, The Trojan Story . Although the liner notes were somewhat sparse and the sound rough, you couldn't want a better overview [...]
