Searching The South For Dent May Where oh where has my MusicFile gone? Some of you may be asking this question while others may have enjoyed this brief new year reprieve. The answer is simple- we are knee deep in planning our inaugural music festival, ...
New Year. New Music. New Discovery. We love starting out the new year with fresh discoveries and this is surely one! Baltimore sextet Secret Mountains manage to combine blistering psych guitars with the hauntingly beautiful voice of lead singer Kell ...
I ll Have A Supergroup With a Side Of Moxy, Please! One of the most buzzed about new bands for 2011 is definitely Middle Brother. Talk about a trifecta! And because I am otherwise indisposed this week, I am shamelessly kicking the year off with some laz ...
Auld Lang Syne Isn t Auld Anymore. Just when you thought there couldn t be another version of this song, along comes Pink Martini to completely stand it on it s ear, give it a facelift and have you marching around your house playing it 100 times in a ro ...
Mighty Tall Indeed. Which cover song ended up at the top of our list this year? The Tallest Man On Earth s stop-your-heart rendition of Paul Simon s "Graceland". I ve always loved this song but mainly for the music. It s a jaunty, pop classic. But thi ...
Oh I Wish I Had a River I Could Skate Away On... We are getting ready to shut down here for a few days at The MusicFile so I ll leave you with my favorite Christmas song of all time. Though it s been covered thoughtfully by everyone and their brother, in ...
Off To Paint This Moonlit Town Ablaze. Oh Lord, the holidays have me running crazy behind schedule so my apologies for skimming you on new music over the last week. It s the time of year when all the music blogs focus on "indie" Christmas songs, most ...
Keeping Up Is Hard To Do. The first time I heard this track, I could have sworn it was a new song from The Last Shadow Puppets, the side project from Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys. I got the country right but not the band. In fact, there really is no ...
The History Of My Young Life. One of the most intriguing young artists to come out of 2010 is Blake Mills, a 23 year old from Venice, California who was in the original version of the band Dawes as well as a touring guitarist for Band Of Horses, Jenny Le ...
From Chill To Funk And Back Again. If there is a band that defined the chillwave phenom of 2010, it s Toro Y Moi, the moniker for Columbia, SC native Chaz Bundick whose laid back electronic album Causers Of This is one of the standouts of 2010. But, h ...
Bring Your Cigarettes. If someone had told me that you could channel Elvis and The Doors into one persona, I probably wouldn t have bought it but now that I ve heard Dirty Beaches, that s kind of how I feel. The low key bravado of The King with the 60 s ...
These Days I Seem To Think A Lot About The Things That I Forgot To Do I ve been working on our annual Best Covers Of The Year feature and I just had to go ahead and leak this one. It s the perfect song for a chilly December day, which it happens to be ...
Once I Wanted To Be The Greatest. Ok, let s start with the obvious. A guy that pens one of the first songs he ever writes as a letter to Chan Marshall (aka Cat Power) has got to one cool mother fucker. That guy wold be James Nee, the visionary behind a ...
There s A Kind Of Hush All Over The World Tonight. If my math is right, Howie Gelb has released something like 25 albums under the guise of Giant Sand, dating back to 1985. It s a "band" whose members and supporting cast have changed like the wind but I ...
Going To Church On Some Carolina Chocolate Drops! The Carolina Chocolate Drops put out one of the best albums of 2010, combining old time instruments like Jug and Washboard and Kazoo with the banjo and strings. Their music is an homage to the African Ame ...
I Don t Want to Spoil The Fun, But Am I The Only One? Is it too early to be getting excited about the new Devotchka album? I think not. The Denver group is set to released their 5th studio album on March 1st, 2011 on Anti- Records. I first heard Dev ...
I Can t Walk Away In Chinatown. Most people associate Dan Bejar, aka Destroyer, with Canadian super group The New Pornographers but if truth be told, he pre-dates them by a year or so and is a formidable powerhouse in his own right throughout Canada. I w ...
I ve Been Singing You This Song Inside A Bubble... What is %2014Zorbing you ask? Or a Stornoway for that matter? Unless you are familiar with the far reaches of Scotland (read halfway to Iceland), or enjoying rolling down a hill in an inflatable plast ...
Heartbroken In Carolina. The new Girls EP came out today. It s a followup to their gushed over debut album that came out last year. There is something about the subtle heartbreak of these songs that raises them well above the simplicity you think you ...
Lifting The Weight Off Of The Concretes. The Concretes sans Victoria Bergsman? I had my doubts. When the lead singer of Sweden s most famous pop band (post Abba) left in 2007 to focus on her folkier solo project Taken By Trees (excellent in its own r ...
