By now, you've most likely heard the sad passing of Whitney Houston on every news outlet and social media network. Although you're unlikely to hear Whitney Houston directly on KEXP, her influence was undeniable and widespread. Even the most jaded hipsters may count her songs and albums as a core part of their early music listening experience, and countless bands cite her as an inspiration. As news continues to spread online, her music and influence is being celebrated by a wide range of artists - from Black Lips to Foster the People to [...]
Glad i don't know - Lemonheads I was shown this video recently of an Evan Dando solo show where he plays this song with Tom Morgan and Nic Dalton backing. It's nice. For this Lemonheads fan who is prejudicially not a Lemonheads fan and therefore finds other ways to enjoy them, like crediting everything good about them to someone not Evan or going back to their earliest stuff when they were not the same band as they were when most successful, it's great to [...]

"You moved in slow degrees/A sudden memory/You're a Leonard Cohen song" - Better Than Ezra, "Under You" "But I was caught, like a fleeting thought / Stuck inside Leonard Cohen's mind" - Mercury Rev, "A Drop In Time" "Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld / So I can sigh eternally" - Nirvana, "Pennyroyal Tea" It's almost unbelievable now to think that we almost never heard Leonard Cohen , the singer. A well-regarded poet from the late [...]

Hotel Sessions captures Evan Dando doing early acoustic takes of future Lemonheads classics in a hotel on a Sunday night in the early '90s.
If we had to classify the 90s alt-rock, college music scene, we might go about it something like this: Grunge - See Kurt Cobain, Hole, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, etc. Nerd-grunge - See Weezer Country-grunge - See Uncle Tupelo & its remnants Son Volt, Wilco, etc. REM British-rock - See Radiohead etc. That still leaves us with the problem of The Lemonheads, an on again off-again Boston, MA group fronted and founded by Evan Dando. What separates The Lemonheads and Dando's music in particular from everything around it is its eclectic base. The [...]
[Photos by Ken Grand-Pierre. See his Flickr stream here ] As acts from the early 90s have continued to take victory laps over the past few years, I have had a chance to reflect on how different the personalities were that dominated the music scene then than those from today's self-affirming generation making vital new music today. In an era principally concerned with authenticity, its troubadours were often people who lived hard and felt deeply - addicts, romantics, and the generally self-destructive. And if you wanted a picture of the archetypal musician of the era, you might consider [...]
top of the sunday morning, y'all! today is really a bummer, i must admit. my football season is over. of course my bears were never really a factor, well they were until cutler got hurt, but now that the saints lost, its done. sure, ill still watch the games, but my give a shit level is pretty low. much credit to the niners, man. never thought they had a chance, but as per usual what the hell do i know? oh, and couch by couchwest is starting back up shortly. there has been a facebook fan [...]

2011 has been a year of highly glossy pop and R&B and a spectacular selection of electronic artists breaking through, with polished and refined music that saunter from cold, icy minimalism to crisp, clean sampling insanity. But how about something completely different to start 2012? Evan Dando, of The Lemonheads , has been putting the finishing touches to an early 90s recordings, aptly titled Hotel Sessions , due to the Australian residence he was staying in after their first Japanese tour had finished. Consisting of music that made it onto their sixth record, [...]

On February 7, 2012, The Lemonheads will release Hotel Sessions on Hall of Records/Breath of Saltwater – an intimate recording documenting a Sunday night that Evan Dando spent recording new songs with just an acoustic guitar (and some revealing commentary) in a hotel room in Bondi Beach, Australia. The 14 songs include some that never made it to an official Lemonheads album, but Dando says, "the "Into Your Arms" I did here is better than the one on the album (I like it anyway)." [...]
Thurston Moore at Williamsburg Waterfront. Photo by anonymous Live music in 2011 saw several newer bands consolidate their hold on greatness, while well-established acts from the 90s brought out crowds for reunion shows and, sadly, farewells. For those of us at the site, we were inspired by crowds of people who were, in a lot of cases, younger than we were checking out bands like Archers of Loaf live for the first time, or finally gaining appreciation for the work of artists like Cass McCombs and Bill Callahan. At the same time, favorite new or [...]

While Evan Dando may be a prime slacker as casual as an army of devout ATP aficionados, to a full house at the Empire he unplugs intermittently the lethargic aesthetic to reveal an inner romantic purely (and at times wonderfully puerilely) splurging contorted impressions of human affection and still-confounding metaphor. The Lemonheads aren't of course here to send us all stampeding possessedly in the direction of the starkly, artificially illuminated merch stand at the back of this once-characterful venue to then tear glinting cellophane from the smoothed back of a new [...]
