For as long as there have been music awards, there have been musicians with opinions about those music awards, and the Grammys are no exception. Depending on your point of view, Arcade Fire trumping commercial heavyweights Lady Gaga, Eminem and Katy Perry for Album of the Year at last year's ceremony was either the event's salvation or the moment it jumped the shark. That polarizing victory reignited a decades-old debate about the relevance and future direction of the awards show. Grammy nominees — and Grammy wannabes — have long argued over whether [...]

Lilies on Mars are Lisa Masia and Marina Cristofalo, two musical collaborators who met over ten years ago in Sardinia, where other music projects lead to the formation of Lilies on Mars in August 2008.

In May 2011 they self released their second album "Wish You Were a Pony", on which today's featured single can be found. It was recorded by Lilies on Mars and mixed by Dan Brantigan (Kaki King co-writer and musician). [...]
The wonderful video for this song by Mikaela Davis - a Rochester, NY native who has been playing the harp since she was a child - has a sort of handheld-cam Wes Anderson vibe, and it fits the mood of the song rather well. Davis is working on an album with a couple of friends [...]

Observer Drift is the appositely hazy moniker of Bloomington, Minneapolis' Collin Ward and Corridors is his first full-length , outed during the opening moments of 2012. If it may have wafted on by discreetly then, here is now and now is time to indulge. Akin to Daniel Bedingfield, he writes quirky pop hits in his bedroom/ basement although that's just about where the similarities end: Ward works in a pizza place while Bedingfield – at least when last spotted – looked as though he'd chomped his way through a fair few, the floor of his 'workspace' potentially lined [...]

by teepoo Blood Diamonds is Vancouverite Mike Tucker. Within the almost overly complicated layers you can find appreciation in the findable hooks. Not unknown to the blogosphere, here's Dreams . I'm sure we'll hear much more of him in the year to come. Blood Diamonds- Dreams Soundcloud

Once you find out that Mike Tucker, the producer behind Blood Diamonds, is a 21-year-old video game design student, you can't help but notice that his complex musical amalgamations seem as though they've been influenced by his other vocation. Tracks like "Dreams" feel like full and realized environments that have been created from scratch, like a fictional world that we're invited to inhabit for about four minutes. Tucker uses a combination of synthetic and natural vocals to build a canvas on which to work, then adds layers of R&B beats and electro-pop hooks until the universe of the track feels [...]
