The Walkmen at Terminal 5, from the HAD Archive It took us a minute to give "Orange Sunday" a look and listen, but we're glad we finally did. The track is a b-side from The Walkmen 's fabulous record Lisbon. Upon listening it rapidly becomes clear that in this case "b-side" and "throwaway" are by no means the same thing. A beautifully stark track, the song highlights Hamilton Leithauser's voice over the interplay of two guitars, acoustic and electric. [...]
Blah blah blah talky talky... as festival season starts to slowly warm to its task for the coming year, so too does that other staple: the industry chat-fest. In many ways it is classic music industry wastage: money raised and spent on people talking about doing things instead of actually doing them; the classic overhead. A bunch of people only tangentially involved in the making of music are always more able to raise money than those actually making it, not least because they are business people focussed on business, whereas bands are artists who should be focussed on [...]
Hamilton Leithauser played a faithful cover of Nonconcert event, this past February, and they were kind enough to post this great live video. We even get an "as told to" bit of McCombs-brand comedy: What's ... read more
Bugün Ankara'da kar tarafından kuşatma altına alınmış bir şehirde bir gün nasıl geçer isimli belgesesel filmi vardı. Bütün zorluklara rağmen herkesin yüzünde yılbaşı gecesi misali tuhaf bir mutluluk vardı. Tıpkı aşağıdaki karlı bir New York şehrinin en güzel görsellerinin sunulduğu The Walkmen videosunda olduğu gibi bir şehrin en güzel hali bembeyaz ve içindeki siyahların bu beyaz içinde boğulduğu zaman dilimi sanırım. The Walkmen – While I Shovel The Snow

NYC indie rockers The Walkmen return with a new video for the track “While I Shovel the Snow”, from their latest album, 2010's critically acclaimed Lisbon. Perhaps taking its cue from the Eastern seaboard's recent snowpocalypse , the video (directed by Jake Davis, who's previously made videos for artists as diverse as My Chemical Romance, Snoop Dogg and KT Tunstall) sets the song's delicate waltz amidst a gorgeous New York snowscape. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =OdQFObDpxgI...

Set for the first week of July in Kent, England, Hop Farm Fest aims for a "return to the basics," where legends of past and present play amidst 30,000 festival-loving folks who all paid one universal price. As the festival's website puts it, there's no sponsorship, no branding, no VIP attitude. If it sounds too good to be true that's because it probably is, but the Hop Farm Fest has pushed this Utopian idea for the past three summers and will again in 2011. This year's festivities, set for July 1st and 2nd, will feature a [...]

Seems as if I'm still dealing with technical problems on indie music filter. Â You'll notice a hell of a bunch of my posts include weird characters (ie. a question mark in a black diamond), which I think I know how to fix. Â Also, last weeks issues made my twitter feed go nuts. Â Sorry if it looked like I was being overly keen on new music, I didn't mean to clog anyone's stream. Â In the meantime, here's a whack of different things I'm into online. -As part of Giant System Chicago , here's a band called Golden [...]
The Walkmen recently released a music video for "While I Shovel The Snow". The band has also made it available as a free mp3. They also threw in "Orange Sunday". You may remember me posting it a while back as it was a bonus track released from the Lisbon sessions. "Orange Sunday" demonstrates what The Walkmen are capable of. It must have been hard to leave it off of Lisbon, because it's a high quality track. You can download both songs below: [mp3]: The Walkmen - Orange Sunday [...]
The Walkmen siempre ha tenido de estas canciones que abordan sentimientos y nostalgia y que esta vez no es la excepción, una canción que acompañada de tanta nieve por momentos logra trasladar a un clima asi de frio, que en lugares como México no es tan familiar por ejemplo. Un video con esencia triste es lo que nos presenta The Walkmen para “While I Shovel the Snow”, su nuevo sencillo del disco Lisbon . Una sobrecarga de nieve es lo que se puede observar en este melancólico video, lo verdaderamente destacable en este [...]

"While I Shovel the Snow" is a pretty song on The Walkmen latest album, Lisbon , which is an album full of many pretty songs. It's music video features Hamilton Leithauser and the rest of the band hanging in NYC during one of the many snowstorms we received this year. This video is simple, but effective in it's ability to showcase the beauty of the snow.
