Indie Labels Try and Keep The Faith at SXSW

One panel from last week's SXSW music conference was entitled "Indie Labels Keep the Faith," though by all accounts the sentiment was fairly grim . "The decline in indie retail has continued in a free-fall," said Bloodshot Records co-owner Nan Warshaw. "Everything you've heard [about the troubles of major labels], it's probably worse." Todd Martens of the LA Times reports : Fellow panel member Howard Greynolds, formerly of veteran Chicago label Touch and Go Records, said the disconnect between the labels' needs and those of retailers were becoming greater than ever and that [...]

New Music: Planet Earth - "Bergman Movies"

New Music: Planet Earth - "Bergman Movies" "Bergman Movies" is the debut single from UK duo Planet Earth , available now as a limited edition 7" from Young and Lost Club . The duo of Sam Lewis (acoustic guitar/vocals) and Nick Olorenshaw (electric guitar) boast a jangly lo-fi sound that reminds me of our LA friends The French Semester . There is also a vintage pop quirkiness reminiscent of Belle and Sebastian . The 7" artwork was done by Francois Marry of The Atlas Mountains and Camera Obscura , who painted a still from the Ingmar Bergman [...]

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart :: "Come Saturday" (SXSW 2009)
I may not be at South by Southwest, but I feel like I am given the sheer number of folks tweeting about it. And now some videos have even started making their way to YouTube, like this one of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart rocking yesterday's Terrorbird/Force Field party. We have been enjoying the band's self-titled debut - which is out on Oakland-based Slumberland Records - a great deal around these parts. MP3 - "Come Saturday" - The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

Jukebox: Shiloe

Jukebox: Shiloe Jukebox is a feature where we ask our favorite artists, bloggers and DJs their opinions on four songs that are currently generating buzz. Then we ask them for four songs that we should be buzzing about. This week, we put quarters in the record machine with Melissa and Ken of Shiloe ... "First Time High" - Of Montreal Melissa: Oh, this is not my jam. Way too poppy and twee. Probably not surprising, given the type of music Ken and I produce, but this kind of [...]

Jack White Gets It, Do You?

Jack White Gets It, Do You? It is really no big secret that I have a great deal of admiration for Jack White. In one of the very first blog posts I ever wrote, I said, "If music is the universe, then Jack White gets his own planet." Of course, when I look up to an artist in any medium (say Kanye West or Steven Soderbergh), it is usually not just for their talent but also their business savvy. Now, I can welcome White into this club. The big news of last week was that White went and started himself another [...]
