I've never met an album that didn't change for me somehow. Now, they can go up and down the scale in either a positive or negative direction, but there isn't one that escapes a reframing of sorts somewhere along the line. For some albums, time is the perfect vindicator. The album is revealed as a master stroke and the audiences' initial conceptions are what become tarnished. Other times, what was once golden falls into disrepair, looking like an old sack of potatoes, stripped of its luster and banished to the bin. This state of flux is part of what makes [...]

The official artwork for Alicia Keys eagerly anticipated 4th studio album, "The Element Of Freedom" , has finally been disclosed yesterday. The visuals (one for the standard, the other for the deluxe edition of the album) are simply stunning.

[Photos by Merry Swankster - 10.23.09 @ Bluebird, opening for Sunset Rubdown] tUnE-YaRdS return to Denver on Sunday as warm up act for Dirty Projectors at the Bluebird. Upon entering the Bluebird Theater for Sunset Rubdown's show I was immediately drawn to tUnE-YaRdS noisy racket taking place on the state. Merrill Garbus is tUnE-YaRdS and she was not only the most exciting performer I've seen rock the shit out of an ukelele, but the most exciting performer this year. She draws you in and hypnotizes. A performance [...]
De departe cel mai accesibil album Kumm de pana acum, Far From Telescopes, e si cel in care trupa exceleaza ca sunet, fiind mult mai asezat si mai bine produs decat Angels & Clowns sau Different Parties. Iar in Silver Church l-am ascultat live si am ramas placut surprins, chiar si de piesele in prima auditie. Intodeauna Kumm a uimit prin efervescenta prestatiilor live, in ciuda deselor schimbari de componenta din ultimul timp. Au avut piese remarcabile prin compozitii flamboaiante, deloc simple, dar suficient de pline de energie, ironie sau umor, incat sa atraga publicul. Pot spune ca [...]

Back when I had HBO I saw this movie, it was called Lost Horizon . It was about these people, they all had some kind of hole or emptiness deep inside their lives, and they wound up in this mythical place called Shangri-La. It wasn't on any map, it was tough to find and in fact it may have existed only in some people's imaginations. If you didn't have the right kind of attitude, the right kind of feeling in your heart, you could walk past it all your life and never find it at all. There's a place like [...]
Back in 1997, when I was a critic for CMJ , I led off my review of a new album by vintage Britpoppers the Sundays with the following sideswipe at another band: "In the five years since their last album, [the Sundays] watched the Cranberries swipe their sound and turn it into three obscenely popular and dreck-filled albums." I can't front: I had a soft spot for the Cranberries' light-as-air Top 10 smash "Linger." But I could never get past the fact that the Sundays, a [...]

Before we dive into tunes today, I wanted to pass along two wildly unrelated (and potentially , but hopefully not actually, uninteresting) things that happened today. 1. It was a great mail day, the kind of day that makes up for Columbus Day, when I received no mail. I got two things in the mail that are awesome. First, I won an ebay auction for the above pictured Sebadoh 7 inch single. It's on clear vinyl, which is completely badass, and sounds excellent. The best part? I bought it from Paul Lukas, head honcho at the excellent [...]

As FILTER's resident Austinite, I hold a special place in my heart for the good ole' capital of the Lone Star State. Beloved public television music program Austin City Limits is currently celebrating its 35th season on PBS. 35!!! That's a whole lot of years. I grew up watching the show, as many did, but, because it filmed in my hometown, I felt especially attached to the show. Attending tapings, difficult and crowded as they were, was a chance at an exciting and intimate look at the performing artist. [...]
