Sure everyone knows Brendan Benson as collaborating member of the Raconteurs, but up until recently many were not familiar with his solo career. Back in August, he released his fourth solo album My Old, Familiar Friend via ATO to a much larger, more eager audience than his pre-Raconteurs work. A lot of folks discovered that he is (and was for that matter) a great, solid performer on his own as

Cory Chisel (Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons) exudes a forcefield of palpable anguish. It squeezes through his pores and squinted eyes and lassos ears and bleeding hearts through swaying seranades you'd expect to hear on a back porch next to rocking chairs and whiskey bottles, overlooking vast fields and accompanied by choruses of chirping crickets. Chisel's voice, beguilingly accurate and smooth as glove leather, slides in like a slightly frayed slip-knot, applying steady and sufficient pressure as it pulls itself with just enough friction over the highs and lows of soulful full-band arrangements, joined by Adriel Harris' delicate [...]

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". [...]

Filed under: News , New Music Jack White 's label output just gets more and more prolific. On top of his bands the White Stripes , the Raconteurs and the Dead Weather , White has put out a remix featuring Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking and has now begun production work with the Queen of Rockabilly, Wanda Jackson . In a new interview with NewsOK's Gene Triplett , Jackson, 72, revealed she was en route to White's Nashville studio and was a [...]

Brendan Benson Genre: Rock / Alternative Rock/ Power Pop From: Nashville, Tennessee, United States The music business is a fickle mistress. Before his collaboration with Jack White in the Raconteurs Brendan Benson's solo career wasn't exactly lighting fires. His debut album , One Mississippi , was released in 1996 on Virgin Records but despite critical acclaim sold less copies than a Paris Hilton covers album [...]
Now that Jack White is off with Dead Weather, his old Raconteurs songwriting partner Brendan Benson is back banging out power-pop tunes as a solo artist. This new trippy video for "A Whole Lot Better," from his My Old, Familiar Friend , puts him in an environment fit for Cheap Trick (a cheap performance area), which is fitting since he's trying to sound like that. My Old, Familiar Friend is out now via ATO. [S tereogum ]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , New Music , Exclusive This past June, the Kills made headlines after the UK press claimed frontman Jamie Hince's girlfriend, supermodel Kate Moss , chucked a laptop containing six brand new band tracks into a pool. "It's not true. People make it up," Kills frontwoman Alison Mosshart tells Spinner. The story seemed believable enough -- after all, this was the same band that had their tour bus stolen from right under their [...]

Brendan Benson Live on Luxury Wafers Brendan Benson (The Raconteurs) recently dropped into Chessvolt Studios in LA for a Luxury Wafers Live Session, here " Whole Lot Better ", check out the rest of the sessions, plus exclusive live track downloads here .
Before the Raconteurs, Brendan Benson was an unsung hero known to a few here and there. Enter Jack White, and POW. Instant music career. People that knew about him before joining the Raconteurs knew what he was capable of, and I'm happy to see his career flourishing as a solo star. Benson is touring behind, My Old, Familiar Friend , via ATO You can see some more live videos and download more of the session over at Luxury Wafers . [...]
For every band, there's always a disenfranchised member who wants to do more. Maybe get a little more exposure, come out from behind the drums, or even hear some of his lyrics actually being sung back at him (or her). Maybe that's the problem. Maybe it's a female tired of hanging out with these smelly guys all the time. Well, how come there's no Meg White solo record? Sideprojects are predominantly a man thing. Men seem to lose it when trapped in one groove and want to move on (note, this is no way a reflection on me or my [...]
Brendan Benson , undeservedly known as "the other guy in the Raconteurs," posted a series of webisodes on Spinner over the past month. This year Benson released his first post-Raconteurs solo album, a raucous punch of powerpop entitled My Old Familiar Friend . In the webisodes Benson talks about the influence of producer Gil Norton, the influence of the blues on his music, the difficulties and rewards of playing live, and how songs can just "come out." It's an intriguing look into the creation of an album and the mindset of a solo [...]
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. [...]

These songs from Brendan Benson 's live session are entirely infectious . Everywhere I go, the catchy phrases now uncoil themselves to spring forth in bouncy, singalbe, memorable bits. While none of us is a stranger to sensational The Raconteurs of which Benson is a collaborative member, I hadn't actually realized the depth for which I love this guy and his clean, classic pop-rock sound solo until I started listening over and over again to these cohesive, toned tracks through which Benson's voice handsomely flows. Now there's no shaking the viral invasion. Deceptively simplistic, the melodic [...]

Karen O's lively soundtrack sounds best where the wild things aren't : in the most straightforward bits of childlike indie-pop. Did Spike Jonze get more than he bargained for when he approached Karen O with this project? Most signs point to yes. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman -- and former lover of Jonze's -- made it a party, and just about everyone's invited: bandmates Brian Chase and Nick Zinner, the Raconteurs' Jack Lawrence, Liars' Aaron Hemphil, Deerhunter's Bradford Cox -- even an untrained children's choir. The album's structural arc closely mirrors the film's -- a...

inside Karen O is a wild thing (as singer for the Grammy-nominated Yeah Yeah Yeahs , her wild thing is in your face, vulnerable, obnoxious, tender and exciting). to Oscar-nominated Where the Wild Things Are director Spike Jonze , however, Karen O and her music possess something of a child-like innocence, a guileless charm that put her exactly on the right emotional wavelength to sonically capture the film, be it a tender moment or a wild rumpus. to compose the music, O enlisted friends and fellow musicians she believed had a musical [...]
Ormai siamo arrivati quasi alla fine di questo viaggio alla scoperta dei migliori album di questo decennio . Questa settimana rimaniamo nel 2008 (dopo avervi parlato di " Third " dei Portishead ) con i Fleet Foxes . A ben vedere bisogna dire che il 2008 è stato un'anno pieno zeppo di debutti memorabili, qualche nome? Have a Nice Life, Vampire Weekend , MGMT , Glasvegas e Foals (solo per citare i maggiori), ma forse è stato quello dei Fleet Foxes quello che più merita di essere trattato all'interno [...]
