Getreidesilos, Kirchen und Gemeindehallen dienen den kanadischen Great Lake Swimmers als Studioersatz. In einem alten Schloss und einer Kirche auf Thousand Islands, einer Inselregion im St.-Lorenz-Strom, an der Grenze zwischen Kanada und den USA, nahmen sie ihr viertes Album „Lost Channels" auf. Die Inspiration und Akustik dieser ungewöhnlichen Aufnahmeorte wirken wie ein zusätzliches Instrument
Easyboy - Sunny Day Garbage Pile Easyboy is the solo stuff from Eric Farber, member of the insane electro-tribal awesome dudes Truman Peyote . Friends is his first (?) release of hypno pop jams and it's 100% worth your ear time. I'm not sure that Farber was straight when he made this tape because it reminds me a bit of Farmacia's Nosocomio Manicomio and they [...]
The Swimmers' People Are Soft is a damn good record.
'Tis the season of giving, and today I have another charity project that could use your support. In previous weeks I've written about the Playing For Change project and Funk Aid for Africa . Today I want to share news about a benefit album that just came out today titled Indie Rocks! A Benefit Album For Malaria No More . It's been put together by RED Distribution , and its aim is to raise money for the organization Malaria No More [...]

Pat Graham Yeah, I know that I probably keep closer track of British bands than some (but certainly not as much as others), but I still get confused as to who's who sometimes. Particularly when it comes to outfits comprised of skinny, shaggy-looking lads wielding guitars and perhaps scowls, and whose names are some combination of the definite article and a random noun, sometimes pluralized. The Rifles ? They're the ones who're trying to channel The Jam (and doing a pretty good job of it). The Rakes ? They're [...]

Puns are great. Anyway, Paul Simon's son, Harper --who, apparently, did not actually accompany his father on travels through the Mississippi Delta, which shined like a national guitar, at age 9--will, presumably, be following a river down a highway through the arguable cradle of the French and Indian War this evening to perform at the Andy Warhol Museum . Simon's self-titled, self-produced, self-released solo debut is recently out and has garnered some pretty favorable reviews. Not sold? Tonight's opener is local neo-folk songstress Emily Rodgers , who has a recent release of [...]

I seem to remember JJ72 taking some flack from certain quarters for having that slow/fast dynamic and a lead singer with a voice that could manage a decent falsetto. In other words they had deviated from the staple configuration that had fuelled Irish bands for generations. Let's hope we have all moved on from that and the Dirty 9s are acclaimed for the bright sparks that they are. 'Lucky Opus', their first ever single, is released this Friday and what a luminous nugget it turns out to be. And for all that it starts off quite underwhelmingly but the early [...]

Since I haven't had a lot of time to blog quality posts lately, I thought I'd at least tie you over with some new music (cleared for posting, of course). While I have been working on things in the background, I feel bad that you've been staring at my blog anxiously waiting for more music. I'll call this the Late Autumn Mix ...

Sometimes claustrophobia isn't a bad thing. The feeling of being suffocated at least means something or someone is close to you. Without a fabric of personal relationships, work engagements and responsibilities we might never feel connected to anything. However, when this fabric is pulled over our mouths and every inch of our lives is closing in, it's easy to feel like these connections are a
