Life is funny. Every day can be an adventure. You work hard all day and then you spend your nights and weekends pursuing your hobbies and passions. And it all seems to be pretty much the same ol' thang… And then one day you meet a special someone. You date, fall in love, get married…and eventually the "kids question" comes up. You both agree the time is right and so you decide to "try." And the next thing you know, she's pregnant and your whole world is about to get turned upside [...]
Jam bands can noodle an awful lot. I know that's stereotyping. But isn't that sort of the definition by name alone? In the wake of the bands that started that "revolution," bands like Blues Traveler, Spin Doctors Phish and Widespread Panic (who were among the original H.O.R.D.E.) we have seen countless bands full of people who can play the shit out of their instruments. But writing cohesive songs? Good lyrics? This tends to go to the wayside. Of course, we are all entitled to our own opinions. So for every person that loves the 45 minute instrumental jam on some [...]

76 newly recorded Bob Dylan songs by over 80 artists are scheduled for physical (4 discs) and digital release tomorrow, January 24, 2012. Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan features a stellar and diverse group of artists across the generational and musical spectrum. The performers, including many of Amnesty International's longtime supporters, range in age from pop star Miley Cyrus, 19, to folk music legend Pete Seeger, who, at 92, records Dylan's poignant "Forever Young," with a children's chorus. The diversity of the musicians and musical genres [...]
The January release holds a special place in the ebb and flow of artistry; though it runs the real risk of being forgotten by the time it comes to make our year's end lists, it also finds the market just gearing up again after a spate of holiday absence and Christmas releases. Thanks to tip-offs and promos from the usual sources, our fresh eyes have spotted three albums - each one due to drop this month, all well worth watching for - plus a few bonuses on the event horizon. As always, read and click for [...]

M83 - Hurry Up We're Dreaming October 18th on Mute, selected by Train Hurry Up, We're Dreaming is hands down my favorite album of 2011. From the minute it was announced I was playing a game of Hurry Up And Release This Album, We're Waiting (see what I did there?), and once I got it in my hands and on the hard drive I was not disappointed. Majestic in scope and ambitious in sound, Hurry Up is an [...]

Tweet vaso link Editor's Note: This morning starts our rundown of our writers' favorites of 2011. We didn't give them any real guidelines - just that each one would get a post with which to talk about what they liked over the previous 12 months. A couple of writers are voting "present," but between Dave and I and the rest of the guys, there will be a bunch of different takes on what was the best of the preceding year. [...]
Quattro dischi, più di settanta canzoni, oltre ottanta artisti (l'ultimo è l'unico, inimitabile autore dei brani): " Chimes of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International " è una raccolta di cover che una delle più importanti associazioni umanitarie al mondo ha deciso di assemblare per celebrare i suoi cinquant'anni di attività. Ha scelto un musicista-simbolo, un cantautore che ha saputo unire impegno sociale e poesia, protesta e sensibilità nei confronti del mondo in cui viviamo, che iniziava ad accelerare la corsa del progresso lasciando troppo spesso indietro quella per i diritti umani.

White Denim's James Petralli by Jeremiah Garcia I was fortunate to be able to attend KCRW's winter holiday benefit concert "Are Friends Eclectic?" this weekend past at the venerable Orpheum Theatre in downtown Los Angeles. For those that couldn't make it to the soiree, here is a ten-second recap, Losanjealous-style: Mia Doi Todd started the proceedings. She was allowed one song. She sounded great. Following the five-minute set by Mia I discovered that the evening, comprising ten acts, would unfold in a Front of Curtain, Behind Curtain [...]
The name of KCRW's holiday benefit show posed the so-rhetorical-it's-silly question "Are Friends Eclectic? Gee, waddya think? You'd be hard-pressed to find the fare at Saturday's four-plus-hour concert in the same time zone, let alone on the same spot on your FM dial. While "Eclectic's" genial host, KCRW music director Jason Bentley, repeatedly marveled about how the evening was a celebration "of the power of music," it was more specifically about allowing a diverse array of musical voices into your conversation. At that, KCRW owns the franchise. Even though the electronica, R&B and other flavors that [...]
