I hastily cancelled any plans I had for Tuesday 16th as soon as i found out Why? Were rollong into town yet again. Regular readers of this blog will know the band have been featured on these pages more than a fair few times. The band had been outstanding the first time I saw them back in November [...]
This is the cover for Janet Jackson new single for the film Why Did I Get Married, Too? and it's nothing special, no pun intended. She should have at least put up a still from the movie of something instead of this Hallmark looking cover. Sad.

Yoni Wolf comes across as a pretty inimitable character on his records. Neurotic, sarcastic and cynical, loving, sweet and innocent, sometimes all in the one song. Wolf began making records under the name of WHY? way back at the beginning of the decade, with his first LP proper Oaklandazulasylum appearing in 2003, and the development of his own unique style has been one of the most interesting musical character arcs of that time. Now on album number four, Eskimo Snow , WHY? are an established five-piece band and a well worn touring unit. After spending [...]
On Jet Lag Josiah Wolf reprises his role as Why?'s drums and glockenspiel maestro. 'The Trailer and the Truck' opens the album with amp hiss, a pair of dancing glock lines and, then, a barrage of off-beat machine-gunning drum stabs. So far everything is going to plan and as expected. After this initial aural slap in the face however, things settle down to create a record created largely of mid-tempo, delicate and, dare I say it, sweet tunes. Unsurprisingly the bulk of Jet Lag is built upon a well [...]

Je débute avec l'un des plus jolis disque que j'ai eu l'occasion d'écouter ces dernières semaines. Down The Way est la deuxième livraison du duo australien Angus & Julia Stone. Une production léchée, des arrangements savamment étudiés, pour des balades pop folk aussi sensibles que délicates. Le tempo ne décolle que très rarement, mais les voix du duo se répondent avec un telle grâce que l'ensemble est proche du sublime. L'un des disques les plus poétiques que j'ai eu l'occasion d'écouter depuis de longs mois... L'album sera le 6 avril dans les bacs et je vous conseille bien [...]

Jermaine Dupri has just announced on his twitter page that Janet Jackson is releasing a song titled "Nothing" for the soundtrack of the Tyler Perry movie Why Did I Get Married, Too . The single will come out on March 30th. That's really close. Excited for it, but we feel like it's going to be a ballad.

of all the nouns why? is my favourite at making pop music. saw where? in stereo last week and he was rubbish. when? was okay but he's a conjunction... and don't get me started on how? ho. and. ho. essentially what you got last night was full on technicolour big band glowering pop. like what the flaming lips specialise in (well before embryonic rolled into town). whereby mangling and caressing yr standard voice keys strings and skins into off-kilter nuggets of shiny musical schlurm. which is to say a lovely warm blend of folky geetar fingerpicking, psych-rawk howl and fifties [...]

If you didn't know, 2009 was a busy year for WHY? . (Note the the release of Eskimo Snow and the extensive gas bill). And, as it turns out, things are slowing down any time soon for co-founder Josiah Wolf . WHY? drummer and brother of lead singer Yoni, Josiah released his debut solo album, Jet Lag , last Tuesday, March 2nd, on Anticon Records . Josiah does far more than the drumming on his solo debut. The 12-track effort is rich with worldly instrumentation including guitar, vibes, [...]

Why the fuck not? Beginning as a Hip-Hop and Indie-Rock lyricist, Jonathan "Yoni" Wolf has since gone on to attract others into his ever-revolving Indie-Electron ic-Hip-Hop-Folk-Rock orbit, including his brother Josiah Wolf on drums (who just released his debut album this week), Doug McDiarmid, and Matt Meldon. Signed to Anticon Records they've dropped five highly regarded albums to date, "Eskimo Snow" being the most recent from September 2009, but it was perhaps their fourth albums "Alopecia" that really got them noticed, appearing on a multitude of year-end lists and a couple of "best album of 20083 lists. I've [...]
Photography by gabriele chiapparini The Violent Femmes once sang, "breaking up, is easy to do" and maybe in a few cases that's true, say, when she goes crazy & tries to run you over. Not a difficult decision there, though even in that situation, getting your shit out of the house certainly won't be easy. Trust me, I know. In fact, I'll go on record to say that breaking up is hard to do. It's a necessity though, when a relationship is over, any relationship, and can't be repaired [...]
"Master Cleanse (California)" is a realtor's worst nightmare: just try to sell that sunny house listening to this song. Remember that California anthem Phantom Planet wrote, that pop cultural blight? If you do, here is a cold shower; one can not think of CA as anything but an emotional graveyard. The bleak instrumentation calls to Van Dyke Parks: acoustic picking, piano, harmonized vocals and a
Yeah, I know...it's March. Presidents Day has passed and McDonalds is already selling Shamrock Shakes...a little late for the Best of 2009, but here we are. I never claimed to be one for timeliness, especially of late. For simplicity sake, the numbers associated with this list are just arbitrary...it's pretty hard to rank things objectively, but the following is what I liked best about the shitty year that was 2009: 1. Dananananakroyd - Hey Everyone! Cheeky band name aside, Hey Everyone! is an [...]
With the coming release of Jet Lag , the solo album from Josiah Wolf , it was only a matter of time before the WHY? songwriter and keyboardist prepped a solo tour in support. If you're a little skeptical of seeing Wolf solo, there will be plenty of shows along the way where he'll be supporting WHY? as well. None of these shows are anywhere near New York. Check out the full list of tour dates after the jump, and cross your fingers for Wolf to make his way to the east coast. [...]
David Byrne and Fatboy Slim's biographical composition of Imelda Marcos' life is done and now is the time to reap the benefits of the star-studded line-up of female vocalists. This first leak is a duet between goddess Tori Amos and diva Cyndi Lauper. It's just pure loveliness and bring out a side of Tori that we have never seen before. Here Lies Love is a concept album and will be released March 6th, 2010. Click below to listen to the duet titled "Why Don't You Love Me?" [...]
Hey! Check out this URB.com (click here ) remix of These Hands by WHY? ! It's fucking great. I think it's more because the song itself is great than the actually remix, but whatever. It's a good site either way!
