Having met as teenagers at the Institute for Young Blind in Mali, Amadou & Mariam got married and started playing music together. They've come a long way since then and popped up on the international music radar after Manu Chau produced some music of theirs in 2004. They recently announced that a new album called Folila is pencilled for release in March. It will continue their expansive take on west African music and will excitingly feature the likes of Santigold, TV on the Radio and Theophilus London. The lead single Dougou Badia is featured below and can [...]

Ja - was war sie? Cool, gut, grandios, fantastisch? Keins der Worte beschreibt sie richtig. Sie war besonders. Das Konzept ging auf und die 2 verschiedenen Welten konnten gut verschmelzen. Die urische Atmos...
![[MP3] Inspired and the Sleep: "Running"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3965665_lg.jpg)
The so-called "Eyelid Kid" (aka Max Greenhalgh) is back with "Running," the second single off Teenager , which was released last summer. Check out the accompanying beach-y video here . Inspired and the Sleep - "Running" [MP3] Inspired and the Sleep on Knox Road

San Diego's Inspired and the Sleep craft breezy tunes that possess both an easing charm and bright-eyed tone. Songwriter Max Greenhalgh's forthcoming batch of songs under the Inspired and the Sleep moniker is entitled Teenager , and, fittingly enough, is the product of Greenhalgh's reflection on his teen years. It was inspired, lyrically, by his observations while working as a beach lifeguard, which makes perfect sense when you hear it -- you can almost feel the relaxed beach atmosphere. Lo-fi, bedroom pop -- call it what you will. This trio makes it hard not to long for the magic [...]

The Best Songs Of 2011 (76 - 100) Making the Best Albums list was relatively easy compared to nailing down the 100 best songs of 2011. The level of incredible music to surface this year is unbelievable. What's more difficult is trying to create some sort of order when laying these songs out, what makes [...]

![[Listen/Download] The Glass Chain- Bad Teenagers](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3860544_lg.jpg)
by teepoo If you mixed the smooth sounds of let's say, jazz together and the pumping beats of house music, you'd get The Glass Chain. These Ottawa natives sure take you somewhere sonically. Check out Bad Teenagers from their EP Circuit which was released back in August. Damn that sax part is so sexy. The Glass Chain- Bad Teenagers Bandcamp

Hey there. Autumn is coming thick and fast and today, I've got some remixes I've been liking quite a lot lately. I must admit I don't know much about Monarchy, only that when mixed with Holy Ghost! and a man named Dixon, it gives out one of the grooviest tracks I've heard in a long while. Makes me wanna pull a John Travolta on "Saturday Night Fever" all over my room. Monarchy - Love Get Out Of My Way (Holy Ghost ft. Dixon Remix) [click to download] | HTML5 | [...]
For those of you who live in Indy, how great has the music been in this town over the last few weeks? I'm having issues with my camera's memory card which, thanks to a little help from Amazon I think it should be resolved mid next week. I can't believe the last time I posted [...]

I feeling pretty nostalgic tonight, I had a crazy long day and I got to hang out with some new friends as much fun as that was it made me miss all my friends back home. It's been raining a shit load here lately, sunniest city in Ontario my ass, but yah I put my ipod onto a playlist I made in 2008 and it reminded me just how amazing the teenangers are. One of the best concerts I have ever been too, and pretty cool guys too having gotten the chance hang out with them after the [...]
Have you ever went to bed with big plans and then woke up and abandoned them? I sure as hell have. That's kind of the inspiration behind Max Greenhalgh's project Inspired And The Sleep and the track "While We're Young", which is taken off his upcoming album Teenagers . "While We're Young" is 10/10th's fun and 12/10th's infectious. Drive down the road and listen and see if you don't beat on the steering wheel a little bit. Definitely one of the top tracks that's came through the inbox this month. Facebook | [...]
Brian McGreevy : Your child is a human being! A cool one! Because this human being is building an infrastructure for critical reasoning in a frequently bizarre, paradoxical universe where fairly miraculous and fucked-up stuff happens on a regular basis. Of course adolescents have an irresistible attraction to adult themes; perverse and puritanical an instinct as there is in this culture to prolong childhood, there is a far stronger counter-instinct in children to analyze, simulate, and as soon as humanly possible participate in the challenges of adulthood. This is not to suggest that growing up is a process [...]
There is an immense amount of music I want to share, hopefully I'll be able to get it all out in the next week. Did you ever watch that tv show where the girl could stop time by touching her fingers together? I thought it was mind blowing when I was like eight. If I [...]
![[Listen/Download] – Teenagers – "Let's Take A Ride"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3785384_lg.jpg)
Tweet For how much I enjoy promoting new songs and great bands I feel a confession is called for; I have a secret stash . With the ease that artist get tossed around and discarded (I'm part of the problem), with terms like "buzzband" often times doing more damage six months down the road than it helped, and the way that "great music" can become "generic music" just through album sales and the amount of people we are crammed between when going to a show I [...]

"Living in a world where terms like "teen film" and "teen star" are essential to describing such a huge part of popular culture, it's difficult to imagine a time when the term teenager—not to mention its derivations like tween—was unheard of. Inspired by punk author Jon Savage's groundbreaking book, director Matt Wolf explores the invention and evolution of teenagers in a new, historical film titled Teenage. This teaser's been floating around for a little while and features narration by Jena Malone and the face of the Coppola family's favorite leading man, Alden Ehrenreich. It also gives us an [...]
1. Time Magazine's Jeffrey Kluger examines the science of favoritism , except there is very little science. Lisa Belkin over at the NYT sums it up best , "In other words, all parents' relationships with all their children are all different. And all parents already know that. Do I believe that some parents have a favorite? Absolutely. I also agree that consistent favoritism is scarring for children." 2. National Geographic looks at the new science behind the teenage brain and of course, they have the science to back up an interesting article. [...]
From our own District of Columbia, Tennis System have crafted a new album called Teenagers for release on October 15th. First single "Hey, We Tried" is excellent - beautiful fuzzed out guitars, an awesome buildup and the kind of hook that makes you mistakenly slam down the gas pedal while you're singing along and jamming out. You know what I'm talking about. You can snag the digital copy pre-order via the bandcamp link below, or visit the band's site to pre-order a hard copy. Connect: Facebook | Twitter [...]
