He seemed like a mysterious, black-clad and unknowable figure to mea beautiful boy - almost unreal, recalls Vashti Bunyan when asked about her memories of Nick Drake . The meeting she speaks of, which took place several decades ago, was brought about by Bunyan and Drakes mutual producer, Joe Boyd, who had hoped the two artists might come together in the spirit of collaboration. The session proved to be fruitless, Bunyan soon retreated from her career in music, and Drake, [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-04T14:20:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4870259/nick-drake-week-is-coming-vashti-bunyan-added-to-nyc/
Vashti Bunyan As mentioned , Nick Drake producer Joe Boyd is putting out a Nick Drake tribute album on April 16 which features contributions from Vashti Bunyan, Robyn Hitchcock, and more. We also mentioned that Boyd is celebrating the album with a week of Nick Drake-related NYC events, including a tribute show on April 10 at Joe's Pub which Vashti Bunyan has been added to. Tickets for that tribute are still available. The other [...]]]> text/html 2013-03-25T13:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4850510/way-to-blue-the-songs-of-nick-drake/
Way To Blue: The Songs Of Nick Drake will be released on April 16th. The tribute to the late, great Nick Drake was assembled by Drake's original producer Joe Boyd. Recorded live in London and Melbourne with the various artists sharing harmonies and instrumentation throughout the album, Way to Blue features Lisa Hannigan, Vashti Bunyan, [...]]]> text/html 2013-02-14T08:36:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4778710/akn-14-ubat-hali/

For whatever reason, a woman in pain, a woman lost, will always sound compelling when put to music. Amelia Bushell and Thomas Servidone, together known as Belle Mare , packed plenty of that emotion into their debut EP, The Bo at Of The Fragile Mind. Added to the pain, however, is another layer: madness , or at least the brink of it. London native Bushell doesn't sound lost exactly, but she is evasive - her voice is by turns an airy wave to Vashti Bunyan and [...]]]> text/html 2013-01-31T14:46:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4761019/winterishly-trapped-volume-2/
So via Facebook I'm reminded that it is in fact winter and that most of the country has a condemning hatred for it... it's currently 76 in Austin. Regardless of the temperature, I find this time of year once again bringing on those same low feelings that persuade the type of music I get into [...]]]> text/html 2013-01-30T01:32:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4758625/sleep-over/
Much to my relief, Stefanie Franciotti reappeared as Sleep Over with a new single today. 'Rooftop' dips deep into the unconcious, unlocking the unfamiliar and the beautiful - ultimate Alice-style fantasy. The accompanying b-side is a beautiful cover of Vashti Bunyan's I Want to Be Alone , stream below:]]> text/html 2013-01-28T15:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4745927/premiere-sleep-over-rooftop-i-want/
We're extremely psyched to share the premiere of the beautiful new single from Austin's Stefanie Franciotti , aka Sleep Over . A-side " Rooftop " opens with an ominous plinking and drifts off into an enchanting, otherworldly lullaby fit for the darkest and most surreal Disney (or Lynch) dreamscapes, while the b-side is a devastating cover of Vashti Bunyan 's 1965 heartbreaker " I Want to Be Alone ." Sleep Over's Rooftop 73 is out digitally tomorrow on Hippos in Tanks , and if you're lucky enough to [...]]]> text/html 2013-01-21T15:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4732391/vashti-bunyan-winter-is-blue-1966-acetate/
While my perception of "winter" has wholly changed since moving to California 11 years ago, Bunyan's haunting 1966 rendering of "Winter Is Blue" continues to inhabit the season existentially. Culled from an unreleased acetate, later tacked on the reissue of Just Another Diamond Day, track cuts right through sunny and 75 L.A. in January.

It's been an eventful week. Last Sunday I ran a half-marathon. On Monday I got food poisoning. Tuesday and Wednesday were pretty much a blur (a vomit-y Spin Art blur!). Thursday I came back from the dead and was able to leave the house and eat a meal. On Friday I went back to work. [...]]]> text/html 2012-10-11T01:38:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4558877/cry-baby/
Generally speaking, my thoughts on the subject of crying babies could be summed up by this exchange that occurred a few weeks ago on an episode of WFMU's "The Best Show," a weekly program hosted by Tom Scharpling: Caller: I get to fly a lot, and there's this thing I've noticed with babies crying on [...]]]> text/html 2012-09-10T17:45:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4498169/staff-selects-calm-contemplation-with-angel-olsen/

If you haven't figured it out already, I am a xxyyxx fan. I am so impressed by this 16 year old prodigy that I want nothing more to delve into the depths of his mind and swim in his musical genius. Until that is possible, I am cool with settling for his sporadic Soundcloud uploads. I think his fresh new take on sampling is what makes him stand out of the crowded sampling world. We're all a little tired of high pitched, filter house sampling and to hear it like this is new, innovative [...]]]> text/html 2012-08-23T06:14:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4464377/on-pitchfork-and-the-peoples-list/
Ah, The People's List. An ad campaign for Converse sneakers as created by thousands of kids who read Pitchfork daily and treat it as gospel. 27,000 voices (88% male! mostly aged 21-25!) banded together to create a list of the top 200 albums of the last fifteen years.

I'm exhausted. For the last time in 2012 I stayed out all night partying on a work night. My body is definitely hating me right now, but not as much as I'm hating myself for letting this beastly chick at the party take advantage of me in my drunken stupor. Is there such a thing [...]]]>
