Toronto - I am trying to become a better blog writer. I look at other music blogs and I admire their penmanship and the incredible detail they go into describe the music they are promoting. With that in mind, I decided to take notes (on my iphone) at the Laura Marling show. I will share those notes in a moment, but lets introduce the person whose show I just went to. Laura Marling is the current IT girl in terms of British folk music. If British Folk Music was a magazine, Laura Marling would [...]
I come to you on the eve of a new decade, the Year 2010 with our Second Annual Loved and Loathed list ! Much has changed here at Tastes Like Caramel since then. We've completely moved the site to a new server, redesigned entirely and found our writing style/voice. Looking back at 2009, we have so much to smile about: interviewing some of our favorite bands (ie: Friendly Fires and White Lies) seeing lifelong heroes in concert (ie: Morissey and Pixies) and many other countless experiences! For all of this I would like [...]
"zwischendrin" beschreibt wohl am besten mein leben im jahr 2007. zuerst noch in glasgow, dann zwischen glasgow und münchen pendelnd, später zwischen münchen und mainz und irgendwann kam ich dann doch endgültig in mainz an - und damit auch beim dortigen campusradio und kurz darauf hier bei indiestreber: am 14. dezember 2007 schrieb ich meinen ersten artikel . meine alben des jahres auf dem wahlzettel zu den indiestreber-jahrescharts 2007 hatte ich ein einziges album angegeben: saurus [...]
das jahr 2005 kann man wohl als höhepunkt meines studentendaseins bezeichnen - ich machte meine zwischenprüfung und fing im herbst an, beim münchner studentenradio m94.5 mitzuarbeiten. zwischendrin reiste ich durch halb europa, nur um ein konzert einer meiner lieblingsbands zu sehen... die unterscheidung zwischen den damaligen und den lieblingsplatten aus heutiger sicht wird zunehmend schwieriger, weil sich mein musikgeschmack in den letzten fünf jahren nicht wirklich relevant geändert hat. deshalb werde ich die jeweils korrespondierenden kategorien ab jetzt zusammenfassen. meine alben des jahres [...]
Thought we'd start this year's rundown with the albums that just missed the top 50, so those of you keeping up with the countdown won't have your fingers crossed for U2 all the way til the end only to discover that they're naff and of course nowhere to be seen. But actually, no they're not on this list either. This whole thing has taken a long time due to a ridiculous amount of assignments I've been battling with before I can go home for Christmas. Uni eh? So here we are, some albums I loved but not quite enough. The [...]
I don't know if you've seen these already, but the brilliant littlepixel has remade an entire set of album covers as classic penguin/pelican books. Go here to see them all, really brilliant I must say, and all great re-imaginings of some truly classic albums. Now, for two unrelated, but thematically linked songs, get it?

If you've been keeping up with my Twitter feed , you may have noticed that I've been incredibly busy as of late. I just can't seem to catch a break with finding time to blog now that I currently work two jobs. Of course, those who have been keeping up have come to expect lengthy periods of inactiveness, at least on my part. Mentioning any kind of worthwhile albums from the past three weeks is just a meaningless task, as you can just take a peek below to see the excellent amount of releases at [...]
Joining us by phone for the entire episiode is Andy Chase , singer and songwriter behind Brookville , Ivy & Paco , owner of the Unfiltered record label, co-owner of Stratosphere Sound , producer of bands like Trashcan Sinatras , Tahiti 80 & Juliana Hatfield . It's a great show - hope you enjoy it as much as we did. PLAYLIST: Goodbye - Brookville Legal Man - Belle and Sebastian Let's Go Surfing - The Drums Unfair - Pavement Summer Of [...]
MUSIC NEWS- We got word this week that with the break up of UK post-punkers, THE RAKES, FREE ENERGY has had to re-route their tour and make new plans - We are sad to announce that the tour that Free Energy had planned on starting with the Rakes next week has been cancelled. The simple reason is that the Rakes broke up. We're bummed that we won't be able to come out West in November, but a new country-wide tour [...]
It seems the boys in The Rakes have called it a day. Some might say it's 2 albums too late, of course. It's entirely possible I might be one of those people. Oh sure, Ten More Messages had some nifty singles on it - 'We Danced Together', 'The World Was A Mess But His Hair Was Perfect' - but it lacked the kinetic umph of its predecessor. It sort of felt like they'd switched from uppers to downers. Still, sorry to hear it as they were due to head out on a North American tour, not [...]

Uhh, this got a bit side-tracked and I promised myself a gazillion times to finish it. But I'm now determined to finish this series soon at least before this year's festival.

So Not the Best of the '00s
What a decade, huh? This one's notable as having been spent entirely in NYC, and entirely of the digital age which changed the way everybody listened to music. (Maybe not my parents but everyone else.) We had more access to everything, and less to to spend with it. That said, there was no shortage of good music, though I don't think anything hit me quite as hard as the previous decade -- partly due to age, party due to aforementioned information overload. There's nothing from this year, as I feel it's too close to [...]

From start to finish this first decade in a new century of music saw UK artists producing some truly exceptional songs. From seasoned guitar abusers and the latest young bucks [...]

QC REVIEW: THE RAKES - KLANG
by cheryl santa maria When British post-punk quartet The Rakes announced their split in late October, I, like others, was shocked. As a starving writer who's been busting her ass for seven days a week for a one small breadcrumb of recognition, I cannot understand why a talented (and successful) group like The Rakes would just up and walk away from the notoriety that they've worked so hard to achieve — and right before the start of a tour, no less.
