Once again it's time to look back into the past. This mix starts with two covers and it even has a remix of a Passion Pit song. Luckily, the remix is by Pollination . Just what was November 2008 like? It was a little like this… Downloadables: Banned From The Roxy (mp3) by Jeffrey Lewis We Didn't Start The Fire (mp3) by The Forms Focus (mp3) by The Forms [...]
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.

It's going to be my album of the year, at least based on its placing in my top 5 of all albums released this decade, but I still didn't know for certain every lyric to every song on the album, which was mildly annoying. Sunset Rubdown hadn't included a lyric sheet with the album's release and although I'd waded through the threads on the Wolf Parade forums and on songmeanings.net at various times this year, there were enough discrepancies to throw me off on more than one lyric in more than one [...]

"Canary Wharf is like our Statue of Liberty," Roll Deep producer Target once said. "It pushes me on. It's like all the money is there and it's an inspiration to get your own." London Shanghai Sinogrime is a sub-genre that barely ever existed, a momentary glitch in the supposedly predictable sonic geography of London dance music. Around 2002-3, with garage crumbling and the cement still drying on grime as a genre, a few producers in E3 suddenly lurched [...]

Cada día cuesta más encontrar bandas que sorprendan, siendo que lo único que buscamos es algo que nos refresque el oido. De todas maneras, el último tiempo personalmente he dejado esa búsqueda, ya que encontré la banda a escuchar. Ya lleva un buen tiempo rotando en mi playlist y decidí escribir sobre ellos, porque dudo que salgan de mi rotación musical por un buen rato y vale la pena hacerles un reconocimiento. Son los indicados para empezar la banda sonora de este verano que se acerca. Anoten: The Drums . Me he estado [...]

We recently filmed an interview with former Mercy Arms guitarist Kirin J. Callinan and besides yodeling in our garage and charming the pants off us, Callinan discussed his debut solo LP, an as yet unnamed live recording which was cut over three nights at The Russian Coachman a few weeks ago. We filmed the last night of his residency and it was the most reverent, brave and emotionally naked performance we've seen this year. Just two spotlights, a guitar, a myriad of pedals, Callinan's peculiar warble and sparse songs about car crashes and toddlers. People were crying, no joke. [...]

The cheery lady selling tickets at Mississippi Studios refused to check my ID for the guest list under the assumption that "friends of Laura Gibson aren't liars." It gave me a warm feeling to be trusted by a perfect stranger, a feeling that aligned well with the resulting mood of a night brought to life by fragile sounds from honest people. With violins and whispery vocals, Rauelsson lulled the shivers of a crowd freshly chilled from the rain outside. Tranquil fans smartly dressed in scarves and pea coats scattered themselves [...]
Going into a show aware of an artist's reputation, but completely unfamiliar with any of that artist's material is a double-edged sword. I've not a clue as to how any of Brendan Benson's studio wo... Continue reading "Concert Review: Brendan Benson at the Bottleneck" >

Pubblicare un'opera come "Embryonic" oggi non è saggio. Poco tempo, troppa musica, settanta minuti, poco tempo. L'opinione generale su questo tipo di operazioni è che siano segno di inutile pomposità, di ingiustificate manie di grandezza. Tolto il superfluo e ridotto il rimanente in un singolo disco, si dice nei migliori dei casi, il risultato non sarebbe neanche male. Peccato che si sia voluto strafare. Questo si dice, e spesso a ragione. Poi ovvio che se tali ragionevoli obiezioni ci si ritrova a farle a un signore in completo grigio che è solito camminare sopra le folle dentro una bolla di [...]

King Automatic es rey del rock de la serie b, un músico hipnótico al que hay que deberíamos ver al menos una vez en la vida porque tiene una puesta en escena que quita el hipo y ademas se encuentra entre los más versátiles de cuantos one man bands hay circulando por el planeta. No llega a esto de casualidad sino después de una larga experiencia como batería de los Wangs y Thundercrack, que te sonaran a chino, pero que eran bandas punteras del sello de garajerock mas importante de los 90, Estrus. King Automatic es [...]
Look, I know I'm supposed to be like, "This video of Death Cab performing at a Hot Topic store is filling my heart with hatred. I can't believe a band signed to a major label who write treacly ballads that shoot right for the middle would do this!!!!!! :(((((" But yeah, I never cared one way or the other about Death Cab (I'm like their songs--in the middle) so I can't really take up the " New Moon soundtrack is killing indie-culture" sword. And let's be honest with each other: Who's most likely to love the shit out of [...]
