Frank Yang It probably amounts to some sort of Can-rock heresy, but I think I actually like Bry Webb on his own more than I ever did with Constantines . I fully acknowledge why many hold the Cons up as one of the greatest Canadian rock acts of the past however many years/decades/centuries - I've seen them live , I know what they were capable of - but the fact is, his solo debut Provider has captivated me more than any of the [...]
En super interessant vinyl LP er landet i Musik Mig Blidt's hule på Amager i form af debutpladen fra Machine, dear ; Killing Something That's Already Dead. Machine, dear er Frans Galschiøt Quaade og Anders Søndergaard, der så vidt jeg ved et ubeskrevede blad i musikalsk sammenhæng, men det kan man nu ikke høre. De omtrent 20 minutters musik går langt udenom hooklines, de lette løsninger og laveste fællesnævner. Pladen består af 6 flot komponerede alternative pop-perler, der sigter og rammer dybt både tekstmæssigt og rent musikalsk. Nu brugte jeg ordet "komponerede", men [...]

Dave Strider - Dear Jade i hope you hear this jade lyrics: [Ellie Goulding] I had a way then Losing it all on my own I had a heart then But the queen has been overthrown And I'm not sleeping now The dark is too hard to beat And I'm not keeping up The strength I need to push me You show the lights that stop me turn to stone You shine them when I'm alone And so I tell myself that I'll be strong And dreaming when they're gone Cuz they're calling, calling, calling [...]
The baubles in question would be twofold: Firstly, the Song, by Toad readers are awarding their own baubles for the year's musical endeavours, both in terms of anointing their song and their album of the year. And secondly, the very second I post this I am heading up into town to Kid Canaveral's Christmas Baubles, their second of what I assume will become an annual Christmas knees-up, this time hosted at Edinburgh's rather amazing Summerhall. This week on Song, by Toad I will be publishing my own top twenty albums of the year, and [...]
Ten Best Albums of 2011 So, the thing with my list this year is that I've been fortunate enough to have either shared a stage, been on a movie soundtrack together, recorded an album with, spent many quality years as close friends, or at the very least, created some memories over some good times with all but two of the bands represented here. However, none of these disclosures swayed my opinion in naming their recordings as the best to come out this year, they're just all that damn good, and I just happen to know them. [...]
When Handsome Furs' Dan Boeckner sang "A thousand lonely kids making noise in the basement" on Sound Kapital , he was talking about all the angst-ridden musicians he encountered in his travels from Bucharest to Beijing, but he could just as easily been talking about my email inbox in 2011. Every day brought a new batch of fresh-from-the-studio records, singles and EPs by even fresher musicians looking for their place in the world. It's been a fascinating year for new music, for sure. When it came time to whittle down the list of my favourite discs [...]
I've become a bit of an Applications, or apps, nut recently. There are some pretty amazing music making, and discovery apps out there. Soundcloud and Spotify lead the way in the sharing and discovery department, but there are many others with a unique and specific approach which help fine-tuned music geeks and those looking for [...]
Filed under: News , Holy Hell Spencer Platt, Getty Images New York City Police began forcibly removing Occupy Wall Street protesters from their location in the city's Zuccotti Park Tuesday morning. And it appears the Roots ' drummer Questlove had a hunch about the raid, leaving some news sites referring to him as a modern-day Paul Revere. In a string of tweets early Tuesday, the drummer predicted that something was in the [...]
Mmmhmm, RJD2 and Aaron Livingston are back as Icebird . Listen below. The song gets a wee bit Axis Bold as Love in the middle but why wouldn't it with Livingston's gritty pipes..and yaayy it starts up hard again towards the end with some creepy Flock of Wawa voices chiming in at the end. This is more of musical exercise than a, but I'm feeling it..:
If you haven't heard of Guineafowl until now, we'll forgive you, as we're just catching onto the band ourselves. The Australian group is coming to the States to support the release of their Guineafowl EP. The feel of their first US single totally epitomizes my need for high-fueled energy on Wednesday; it's got bits of stomping, yet I can sort of hear that blissful swoon of the Dears hiding beneath their guitar work lines. Just sort of imagine blending pieces of eclectic elements with bits of [...]

Tweet Are you going through a traumatic break-up? If so I'd give this one a miss if I were you. Keaton Henson went through one, and then recorded some songs in his bedroom, including You Don't Know How Lucky You Are : Sombre. And striking. Crikey. I've chosen a photograph of Henson in a stupid mask to sort of keep things relaxed. I've also just hit the wrong button and caused my iTunes [...]
Το κλασσικό χαλάρωμα των κυκλοφοριών της περιόδου έρχεται ως όαση μέσα στο συνήθη καταιγισμό της μουσικής. Ό,τι μας έχει ξεφύγει λόγω χρόνου ακούγεται τώρα και διάφορα άλμπουμ, αραχνιασμένα στους folders, μας αποκαλύπτονται. Ανάμεσα στις συζητήσεις για τα φετινά μεταλλαγμένα κουνούπια που έχουν γίνει το talk of the town μεταξύ των ταξιτζήδων, των τουριστών, των πρεζακιών και όποιου άλλου έχει μείνει στην πόλη, οι υπολογιστές αναστενάζουν με ανακούφιση επειδή άδειασαν απο περιττά megabytes όπως ακριβώς ανακουφίστηκε η πρωτεύουσα απ' όλο αυτό το περιττό [...]
Born in 1995, The Dears is the lifework of Murray A. Lightburn. Son of a jazzman-turned-preacher, Lightburn's attunement to songwriting was shaped equally by nineties rock and a broad tableau of gospel, soul, and pop music. Early incarnations of The Dears brought bassist Roberto Arquilla into the fold, followed by Natalia Yanchak on vocals and [...]

Layton's sudden passing has rocked the nation, with musicians like Broken Social Scene 's Kevin Drew and more taking to Twitter to reflect upon his life and the amazing man he was (which you can get a sense from while [...]
