Be sure to listen to In House this Saturday Night for a chance to win free tickets to see The Swell Season at the Crystal Ballroom on Tuesday! Recently the duo joined us in front of a live audience for a performance and interview . Judging from this performance, Tuesday will be an impassioned show that should not be missed. To tie you over, check out the duo's most recent music video for the track "Low Rising" directed by Iron & [...]
By Jon Stone | @jwstone Over the weekend I saw three shows in Champaign-Urbana. Each show was a good show-great even. But wow, were they different experiences. This disparateness is one of the things that makes thinking and writing about music appealing: parsing through the musical experience looking for clues and connections of their quality with our resulting affinity. My goal here is to review each of these shows but also make a larger argument (that includes some theorizing-sorry: academic alert) about why it is we like the music we do and what [...]
Many of Alexa Woodward's banjo-driven folk songs slowly slink like fog down from the Appalachian mountains and hills of Virgina and wrap your soul in melancholy. Woodward's 2009 release, Speck , is full of subtle textures and well-matched harmonies that support interesting and well-written narratives. Eleanor , a new track not included on Speck , is just a wee-bit more pop-friendly than what we've heard previously from Woodward. Alexa will perform at [...]
La scorsa settimana abbiamo terminato il nostro viaggio attraverso gli album più importanti del decennio che si sta concludendo. Abbiamo quindi pensato di riassumere il tutto in questo post che non è altro che la lista completa, tappa per tappa, degli album che di volta in volta abbiamo approfondito, in modo tale da avere una sorta di indice delle varie puntate. Dopo il salto trovate anche la listona di tutti gli album che di anno in anno sono stati inseriti fra "gli album da salvare". [...]
Three weeks ago I posted a list of my 50 favorite albums of the past decade. You can catch up with that here , here , here , here , and here , if you'd like. While drafting the list I found that I rediscovered plenty of albums that were and are still worthy of more attention, even though they ultimately weren't included on the finished product. It was extremely difficult to cut many of them, especially those made by lesser-known artists. So starting last week, continuing today, and for the next 2 Mondays I'll [...]
Best Albums of 00 | 01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 | 07 | 08 | 09 2007 might just be my favorite year for music releases this decade. Unfortunately, many, many great albums were left out of this list. It was pretty hard leave them out, but I couldn't press the little blue "Publish" button without any of the following albums on the list: [...]

When I was cutting my teeth on alternative music in the early nineties, most of the bands, particularly the heavier stuff, had long hair. Kurt Cobain, long hair. Dimebag Darrell, long curly hair. Everybody in Alice in Chains, long hair, and so on. "I'm done with hair, moving on to growing trees out of my crotch." Times have changed. Now, bands have seemingly one option: grow a big damn beard. Everybody has a beard these days. All the way from the golden [...]
Compiling a list of this magnitude is a daunting task, so we're going to start with a disclaimer. This is "our" favorite albums of the decade and we make no claims that this is the defining, music snob list that you should bow before as you read it. While we shunned the concept initially, we've been disappointed to see a lot of our favorite albums being ignored by the likes of Pitchfork and others. Obviously, there will some overlap (how many Radiohead albums does your list have?), but in general we think this list gives you a [...]
By Jon Stone | @jwstone It's unseasonably warm here in Champaign-Urbana. The weather gets like this here in November: schizophrenic, with wild mercury jerks back and forth from freezing to oh-my-gosh-I-can't-believe-i t's-not September balminess. Such warmth can make a chap reflective on the year in sound , and I'm not alone. Standing in line to see Neko Case Friday night at the Canopy Club , I heard folks both in front of and behind me talking about their year in rock. Most were reminiscing about the last time they saw [...]
Since my absence, I've been living under the rock for the past few months and in effect missed out on a lot of news and tracks coming out. While catching up, I came across these !&#ack^$*(%) awesome finds I know you and many others will find worth listening to in the long run. Had so much fun making this list so here I am sharing it with everyone. You'll find 30 GREAT TRACKS : Jason Lytle , a couple of songs from Passion Pit , great tracks from Grizzly Bear , [...]
If you've seen the independent film Once , you're probably familiar with The Swell Season . In case you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and find a friend who has a copy. In the film the main characters rent out a studio in Dublin and record an album. But what made Once so unique is that Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová were actually playing the instruments in the film, and performing as The Swell Season in real life. [...]
First of all, these lists are all opinions, so you can't really say a list is "good" or "bad". You can only say stuff like "I disagree with this list" or "Whoever made this list has different tastes than I have". That being said, this list sucks. *Lil Wayne giggle*. Saw it at Stereogum . 50 The Lonely Island - Incredibad 49 Rodrigo y Gabriela - 11:11 48 Thao - Know Better Learn Faster 47 Mayer Hawthorne - A Strange Arrangement 46 Noisettes - [...]
○○○○● DURING the process of writing and recording his last album Goodnight , an emotional labour of love which picked through his parents' divorce, William Fitzsimmons split with his own wife. Not one to miss an opportunity, beardy folk singer Fitzsimmons' follow-up album, The Sparrow And The Crow , examines his own divorce. So don't expect a barrel of laughs. However do expect a tear-soaked collection of Iron And Wine -style acoustic tracks that could pierce even the thickest of skins.

SDM's Favorite Albums of the Decade: 65-51
Welcome to day two of my favorite albums of the aughts. I should remind everyone that these are MY favorite albums of the past decade, which coincidentally means they might not be the same as yours. Compiling this list was an arduous task and honestly it could be different every single day depending on my mood. It just so happens that this is the final product of months of work and is what goes out on the internets for everyone to see. Anyways I hope you enjoy and maybe even stumble upon something you haven't heard in awhile. [...]

New Tune On Monday: Ola Podrida
Ola Podrida is the work of Texas resident David Wingo. Belly Of The Lion is his second album and follows his very well received self titled debut of 2007. It is released tomorrow.The album was primarily written and recorded in his apartment and is a superb collection of songs evoking atmospheric, restrained beauty that recalls Nick Drake or Iron & Wine. Poetic and rural, it brings a sense of

CoS Giveaway: The Drifter
Just as soon as one ends, here's another for you all... In the summer of 2008, iconic surfer and former Pipe Master, Rob Machado, flew to Indonesia to experience a "different kind of surf trip." As the story goes, "the journey ultimately took him way beyond his comfort zone, where he was finally alone with his thoughts, desires and the empty perfection of an unnamed Indian Ocean reef." What he discovered was captured in his new autobiographical film, The Drifter , which was released on DVD this past Tuesday, November 3rd. [...]

Details on the show are pretty cut-and-dry from the flyer. Starts at 8 pm, $5 cover (steal of a deal for these famed locals), rinse, repeat. So be there, and I will proceed to give you a myriad of reasons why you should do so. The Rudyard Kipling is one of the most important institutions in the city of Louisville. There [...]
