Repost: Published in 2009, still of interest today. To this day, people still mourn the musical talent who died in a plane crash in the early morning hours of Feb. 3, 1959. A small airplane, carrying rock stars Buddy Holly, J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson and Ritchie Valens, crashed only minutes after taking off from Mason City, Iowa, in a snowstorm. The three had just played the "Winter Dance Party" (see yesterday's post ) and were heading to the next stop in [...]
Jethro Fox. It gladdens our bitter and blackened hearts to hear yet more talented musicians coming from Liverpool keen to explore different musical avenues and happy to leave the jejune revivalists trapped in their own musical cul-de-sac, drowning in a well of dreary nostalgia. Of course everybody is influenced by something, but it's what you do with those influences that really matters. Jethro Fox take his which he lists as ranging from 60s sunshine-pop bands such as The Hollies [...]
Now that I've wasted so much time here establishing a few traditions, I'd be remiss to honor not them... Almost every artist in the history of mankind has at least one title in their catalog that is a compilation, a stopgap collection meant to maintain interest between releases (often to boost holiday sales) or to fulfill a contractual obligation. This is the former, a chance to make use, one more time, of a lot of wasted time over the past twelve months. Three years ago, I reflected on the annual, childhood tradition of [...]
CLICK IMAGE TO VIEW VIDEO My personal favourite Christmas hip-hop song, Run DMC's "Christmas In Hollis". This single came from the festive compilation "A Very Special Christmas" and gets the mixture of comedy and real hip-hop just right! Even in 2011 it still feels fresh.

This weekend, Back Yard Projects, a collectively organized project space I founded with artists Sean Keenan, Josie Keefe, and Anne Kunsemiller early this year in the East Village NYC, opened its doors one last time to celebrate a season of site-specific exhibitions and programs. The 2011 season featured installations by American artists Nathaniel de Large, [...]
Kylie Minogue is going to give acting yet another go. You know our Kylie is multi-faceted and is good at whatever she does. Also, she started with acting so this is an easy gig for her. Although we'd prefer it if she put the time and effort into making another album, we think it would be great to watch a Kylie flick. Click here for more information on this project.

![In Media Res – Hollis [Music Video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3785645_lg.jpg)
In Media Res is one of those acts this year that I was really surprised to check out. Hollis is the second single taken from their album It Was Warm And Sunny When We First Set Out (Try saying that in one breath). Here is a info about the music video. The new clip was directed by Vancouver's Andy Dixon . In the video, lead singer Andrew Lee's physical body is distorted and achieves a Picasso-inspired look. The video reflects the isolation and loss of sanity uncovered in the lyrics. [...]
Let's get Holly's World out of the way first. With plenty of plastic surgery and a grating voice she heads off to Mecca for those who like to disrobe for strangers: Vegas! The show follows Madison and her dim assistant (even for realty show sidekick standards, she is jaw-droppingly ditzy) in their new city, where [...]
Click here to view the video on YouTube. The trailer for the new Reelin' In The Years Productions/Eagle Rock Entertainment DVD- The British Invasion: The Hollies- Look Through Any Window 1963-1975. This first official documentary on the Hollies. This was a band that followed the Beatles in conquering America with the British invasion - and you'd be hard pressed to find a band who's sound changed so dramatically over time, but the quality of the music remained excellent. For you young'uns I'd go here first to hear more .
The Alabama-born Pierces own a UK top 5 and Coldplay dude-produced album, You & I . Wild. The latest release from that LP is the dark, swirling "Kissing You Goodbye". The track, reminiscent of 60's vocal bands like The Byrds, The Hollies, and The Mamas & The Papas, is great and, if you're unfamiliar (American. [We had barely heard of them too.]), should serve as an excellent introduction to the band. The Pierces ( Official ) ( Facebook ) Rating 8.2

I'm starting to believe I may have the plague; 30 hrs straight in bed with no end in sight. At least I know who the douche was to give me this little gift of death, if someone sees that Shane Sweeting punch him in the face. Most people load themselves up on Nyquil and vitamin [...]

Mint Julep , the husband-wife duo Keith and Hollie Kenniff , has made the first song from their upcoming album "Save Your Season" available for free download. "Aviary " is a lovely, upbeat pop-track, mainly based on electronics and with Hollie Kenniff's dreamy vocals on top. "Reminds me of Cocteau Twins..." says one of the people who have commented the track on Soundcloud, and I agree. The two bands definitely work in the same musical neighbourhood. The Kenniffs are also responsible for several other interesting projects, - all favourites of [...]
![[Listen/Download] In Media Res- Hollis](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3658666_lg.jpg)
by teepoo We all have those times where we judge an album on it's cover, but please don't do this for Vancouver BC's In Media Res. The above album which was released July 12th has the sort of production/experimentation quality that mirrors Radiohead's. I wouldn't be surprised if it was up and running in next year's Polaris Prize. I love the track Hollis there is something about the noisey uproar that gives me the goosebumps. The whole song just sort of takes you to a different [...]
