pics and post by eliza czander I walked into the Highline Ballroom last night hearing and seeing what I was sure had to be a joke. A band I hadn't heard of was opening for Jamie Lidell , so I decided to check out the tail end of their act. Their name was The World Provider and that's about all the love I can give. Really, really strange. And not in a good way. Stripping down to silver onesies and [...]
Although the cherubic feel of The Music Gallery made me feel more creepily uneasy than inspired, it was still really cool to see the re-invented Dears at such an intimate venue. The knowledge of a new lineup had me wondering if the band still had the goods to deliver a breathtaking performance but Friday's show proved without a doubt that, although previous incarnations included some highly talented musicians, Murray and Natalia are still the driving force behind The Dears' unique sound. The show focused mainly on songs from the band's upcoming Missiles CD, which [...]
Looks like I missed the window for this song yesterday, but whatevs. Also check out the sweet video for "My Moon My Man" which for some reason I had not seen until yesterday! The World Provider - Valentine (ft. Feist) The World Provider official site The World Provider on MySpace

Just when I thought the song couldn't get any better, Feist's voice stepped out from the dark and took this beautifully calm song to a whole new level of [...]
Apologies to you logophiles, but today we must get straight to the music (which, happily, does contain words, as well).

French site La Blogothèque has been showcasing videos of indie acts the calibre of Okkervil River, Islands, and Jens Lekman, singing and gallavanting around the streets of Paris in a series dubbed Concert à emporter (Takeaway shows). Check out the above video of the four members of Grizzly Bear performing "Knife" acapella style. Also, a little late for the weekend, but here are a couple of tunes I recently rediscovered in the music library.. The World Provider - Valentine (featuring Feist) [Buy Buy [...]
