The little-documentary-that-could The Story Of Anvil , about the band that was like a "real life Spinal Tap" right down to having a drummer named Robb Reiner, stole everyone's heart this past year. Except for people whose hearts are made of stone. Or metal. Well if your heart was made of \m/ metal then it probably stole your heart, too. But if your heart is made of Oscar-material precious metal, then it didn't steal your heart, it made your heart snub it from its rightful place on the 15-film Best Documentary Academy Award shortlist (via [...]
Here's what my encyclopedia says:- Formed in Glasgow in 1991 as Dove by Applied Biochemisttry student/graduate Dorothy 'Dot' Allison, along with Ian Carmichael and former Altered Images man Jim McKinven. Initailly released on the local Soma imprint, the dreamy ambience of 'Fallen' was subsequently remixed and re-issued by the 'Boys Own' label, an operation partly run by DJ extraordinaire, Andrew Weatherall. The band's association with Weatherall helped create a buzz that peaked with the release of 'White Love' (recorded with the help of Jah Wobble and Primal Scream's Andrew Innes amongst others), [...]
Do you like Jim White, Tom Waits, Howe Gelb and Chuck Prophet? Yeah...me too. What is it about their collective sound that is so cool? Probably has a bit to do with the level of musical sloppiness they all share, the amount of reverb added to both the vocals and guitars, and mostly their unique view on life. Add German singer songwriter Digger Barnes to that list above. When you heard "German" do you immediately think Hasselhoff, Lederhosen, and beer gardens? Sure Germany hasn't had the greatest rock track record of late, but [...]

Zu diesem Wochenende möchte ich Euch einer der wohl schrägsten Interpreten vorstellen, die die moderne Musikwelt bislang kennenlernen durfte. Thomas Alan Waits (* 7. Dezember 1949 in Whittier, Kalifornien) ist ein US-amerikanischer Sänger, Komponist, Schauspieler und Autor. Biografie Kindheit und Jugend Nach seinem Biographen Barney Hoskyns wurde Tom Waits in der Stadt Whittier im Los Angeles County geboren, einer Stadt, die auch lange nach seiner Geburt so typisch für das Bild Amerikas der 1950er [...]
In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book. The Simpsons is one of my favorite television comedies of all time, and John Ortved has written an invaluable oral history about the show. Covering the show's inception of The Tracey Ullman Show to its unlikely and unpredicted success in its first season and on through its later years, The Simpsons: An Uncensored, Unauthorized History not only reminds us of the greatness of the show but [...]

Check the live performance from VEGA (aka Alan Palomo aka Neon Indian) of "No Reasons" at The Levi's/FADER Fort during CMJ Sorry for the delay in posts from me. Coming up: our man on the ground reports from CMJ. Lots of interesting news below...apparently Steven Tyler just quit/was kicked out of Aerosmith? -The BBC interview Theophilus London and Dam-Funk -Bob Boilen of NPR's All Songs Considered kinda/sorta apologizes for primarily using indie rock in their show. I find this a little odd...no one's being forced to [...]

Back on July 17, 2007, Vivek Shraya subjected himself to a little thing I used to call the QBiM Questionnaire. The premise was simple: I emailed artists a list of nonsensical and non-threatening questions all in the name of getting to know them better. Vivek was a willing victim subject, and we had a fair bit of fun with the interview. I don't know how well the concept of Q&A was received by readers (or if they even took notice of the other interviews in the series) but that was then [...]
This post is part of our "Top Albums of The Decade" series. Follow the series to read about the best music to grace our ears in the 2000s. Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American (Dreamworks) There are 10 other tracks on Jimmy Eat World's fourth effort besides "The Middle" but you'd be hard-pressed to find any average music fan who could name one. Which is a shame because the others are just as good – if not [...]
[Hey, it's Sam Sparro's birthday on Saturday; shouldn't there be a dance party somewhere? Here's how the weekend shapes up ...] Today: Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas starts his monthlong Friday night residency at downtown's Palace Theatre to showcase the music from his solo debut "Phrazes for the Young." The synth-heavy material, with its big pop choruses, is a departure from the Strokes' garage-rock, but it sounded good at his warm-up show Monday night . Rainbow Arabia opens. ... It's the final night [...]

White Out w/ Jim O'Rourke & Thurston Moore: Senso
Our correspondent wades into the Avant Blancmange to deal an ineffective deathblow with the logic shield and the sword of meaning. As year end lists become a predominant concern I find myself wanting to choose releases like this, if anything they at least illustrate the personal/musical chaos that $ tries to formulate into some cogent order of lifestyle choices.

The Top Ten Ways To Enjoy Boredom
Oh my God. I had an absurdly good meal at 8 Oz. Burger Bar this evening. I'll post the pictures and describe the tastes later, I'm still full and haven't found quite the right words to describe it yet. Then I came home and found out one of the restaurant's co-owners was recently arrested on charges that he may have intentionally caused a woman to have a miscarriage by "placing an unspecified powder in the pregnant woman's vaginal area." So he killed a fetus. If you told me right now that the hamburger I ate tonight was actually a fetus, [...]

Choir of Young Believers
Ok, volgende keer ga ik weer over iets heel stoers bloggen, maar dit klinkt zo mooi dat ik het niet kan laten liggen. Choir of Young Believers dus. Een Deense band met een deels variabele samenstelling. De harde kern bestaat in ieder geval uit songwriter Jannis Noya Makrigiannis. Die doet me qua stem toch vooral denken aan Jim James van My Morning Jacket. En dat wordt gewaardeerd. Click here to view the embedded video. Het album 'This is for the White in your Eyes' is nu uit, en als je [...]
Watch The Soft Pack's Video For "Answer To Yourself"
Black and White usually brings us back to more simpler times, right? Remember Pleasantville ? In the footage above, it brings the San Diegan Soft Packers back to a time when they answered to a pizza-slanging boss probably named Harry or Jim. The video for their new single "Answer To Yourself" was shot at Del Mar Pizza, a previous employer of the dudes when they resided in Del Mar, California. How else would Matt know how to open that huge can of tomato sauce? The perfect soft serve cone is not easy to produce on a first attempt and [...]

The Nicest Guy in the World?
Okay. I just have to say that Jim from the band Kid, You'll Move Mountains has got to be one of the nicest people ever on the face of the earth (and I'm not just saying this because his band is great even though they are). Let me explain... I've seen KYMM live and met Jim in person exactly once. That's it. We've exchanged all sorts of electronic communications (email, Twitter, Facebook, etc...) but have only met in person once despite both living in Chicago's Western suburban wasteland. Considering that I'm floored that he has [...]

Louisville music scene honchos Scott Carney (Wax Fang) and Joe Manning , as well as the under-the-radar gem Saredren Wells will be performing at the Rudyard Kipling on November 14th. 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.
