Day Glo by Brazos . Indie Music Filter : Hey Tony, what do you think of ' Day Glo ' by Austin's Brazos ? Tony VonPervieux : Dude, really cool song. I dig the vibe especially. Feels like a nice montage moment song. It's like a beautiful slow moving train with the windows open to a world of amazing scenery, lush vivid landscapes. Makes me feel good. IMF : I dig it as well. Something about their sound that reminds me of Midlake , [...]

I admit I may have become a Green Man Festival bore in the weeks after last summer's event. I think the rank disappointment of the previous couple of years, when cold, hard and wetter than usual rain conspired to break the music-lovin' hearts of my accomplished sidekick and me, had rendered the need for third-time-lucky glee more than crucial. The warm 2009 weather and fine fare and, pardon me, cheerful vibes were heart-warming and welcome. I only say this because I note that 'early bird' tickets for next summer's bash are on sale now. I'm tempted. I don't [...]

Bella Union is preparing for a bumper 2010, with new albums due in Q1 from Laura Veirs, Lawrence Arabia, Midlake, Beach House, The Acorn, The Kissaway Trail, and Abe Vigoda. The label's recent signees include Lone Wolf, I Break Horses, John Grant with Midlake, and Simon's own new band, Snowbird (where does he find the time!). Many Bella Union artists also have US labels, so it isn't always possible to host every band on the roster but their SXSW 2010 schedule is starting to look pretty exciting! ( more details )

Frank Yang The post title, taken from one of the song titles on Superioryouareinferior , kind of says it all. Since discovering Albertan Rae Spoon's 2008 release earlier this year and slipping it onto my Polaris ballot , I've been waiting for an opportunity to see him play live. And while most of the Summer was spent overseas, the Fall brought some Toronto dates including last night's show at the Rivoli. "Noise", however, isn't the first word I'd use to describe Spoon's music. [...]

Photo: Sarah Bastin tilidom.com Les attachés de presse ont des méthodes toujours plus tordues pour empêcher le leak d'un album qu'ils envoient à la presse ou aux bloggeurs. On connaissait les CDs watermarkés, les mp3s également marqués ou encore les albums en streaming seulement. Je découvre désormais une technique encore plus sournoise, l'album caché sous un faux nom de groupe. Technique redoutable, qui a aussi pour avantage de connaître les réactions sans aucun a priori du genre "ok c'est pas mal mais je [...]

The hype surrounding Midlake's recently announced third album 'The Courage Of Others' has already taken music-blogs by storm since the news was revealed back in late-October. A UK, US and European tour has since been announced for January and February of 2010 (the same month that The Courage Of Others hits stores) and now, frontman of the band Tim Smith has sat down and opened up about the new L.

Even at the age of 84, blues legend B.B. King shows no signs of slowing down his tour schedule. The octogenarian, who kicks off a new round of tour dates tonight, will stay busy through the end of the year with a solo run that hits markets out West which culminates with a New Year's Eve performance at Mabee Center Arena in Tulsa, OK. If you're not into a night of listening to the blues, than maybe you'll be interested in hitting one of these recently announced tours... [...]
I'm usually the first to scoff at music "news" like "Band Reveals Artwork And Track Listing For New Album!!!" However, I will admit that there's something about the artwork for the upcoming (Feb. 2010) Midlake album The Courage Of Others that has me reeel excited. Like the artwork for The Trials Of Van Occupanther , it's low-budg, trippy, and unashamedly nerdy. It's been a long three years since their flawless last album, so let's take a pause to remind ourselves what the gentlemen from Denton are capable of. [...]

So, daylight saving, huh? It starts to get dark at just about 5 in the afternoon here now. The last winter of the noughties is coming. Oh well, more reasons to stay in and listen to sad music. As promised, here is another batch of rare covers. I believe these are definitely the best picks in recent memory. Joan As Police Woman - Overprotected (Britney Spears) (Cover, 2009) Such a peculiar pick. I mean when you decide to cover a [...]
