It's the show people can't stop talking about. Or shows , rather. As we previously hinted at , the Pixies are heading out on a month long tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Doolittle , the album that included hits "Here Comes Your Man" and "Monkey Gone to Heaven." Starting in November, the band will play multiple dates in major cities across the U.S., including Los Angeles, New York, Washington, DC and Chicago. No Age, Jay Reatard, Black Gold, Rain Machine and Bad Lieutenant will open select cities. [...]

This time last year The Pop Cop came up with an ingenious idea . Having noticed how outrageously attractive the Glasgow gig calendar was in the month of October, we appealed directly to the Lord Provost to declare 'Rocktoberfest' the official catch-all name for 31 days of live music in the city. We mapped out one amazing show per day - from pop and soul to rock 'n' roll, from hot newcomers to world conquerors, but despite doing all the hard work for him, the Lord Provost decided not to take us up on our [...]
They say one is the loneliest number, but they sure have written a ton of songs about it (including that classic tune of the same name, that you won't find here, because I don't like it). The best one has to be Okkervil River's 'Plus Ones', in which Will Sheff cleverly references a bunch of well known songs, adding 'one' each time to create his own version. No one wants to hear about your 97th tear... And no one wants a tune about the 100th luftballoon... [...]
I almost hesitate to call Leif Vollebekk a folk artist. In today's world, the classic descriptor of folk has evolved into an almost dismissal of talent or a reliance on warbled vocals and picked acoustics that ironically are more self serving than accessible and inspiring. Leif however, reminds us that the genre can be challenging, inventive and enjoyable. He's just as comfortable writing stripped down acoustic ditties with offering up a Tom Brosseau like delivery as he is stepping outside of the box and penning stirring piano ballads (like the jazz bar ready, Don't Go [...]
Există nenumărate dueturi în muzică, dar puţine îs foarte reuşite. Voci care puse una lângă cealaltă sună de parcă există ca să cânte împreună pe aceeaşi piesă. Sau cel puţin asta o fost impesia mea când am auzit câteva melodii. Aşa că le-am adunat pe toate într-un playlist/compilaţie să le împart cu lumea. Audiţie plăcută! he plus she equals harmony The National feat. St. Vincent - Sleep All Summer [...]
Disclaimer: I went to Latitude as a paying customer, not as a journalist. I had no press or photo passes, no special access. Just a tent, a camera, a notebook, over 20 litres of cider and a handful of close friends. This is just one look in thousands at a festival that is like no other, just my personal experiences. To see even more pictures from all three days of the festival, then head on over to my Flickr page . ______________________________ __________ I wake up at [...]
Okej, Danmark vann rättvist. Eller jag tror i alla fall det, missade nämligen straffet, målet och en hel del annat i inledningen av matchen på grund av en bar som "hade kanalen igår ju". VM utan Sverige ser det ju ut att bli. Vafan, ska man hålla på Danmark då eller? Trentemøller - Always something better Teitur - We still drink the same water Teitur - The girl I don't know Teitur är visserligen från [...]
Well well well, Saturday was what I think can only be described as a truly epic party. It started at about two or three in the afternoon when Found came round to record their Toad Session, which sounded absolutely lovely, continued into the back garden for a barbecue, turned into the Honeytrap Toad Session, repaired once more to the garden for further gluttony, returned to the house once night had descended, then turned into some sort of deranged music/cavorting session until the early hours accompanied by some truly heroic feats of drinking. Quite how the whole house didn't [...]
Όπως λέει και ο ίδιος πρέπει να δεις στο Google τα Νησιά Faroe (αυτόνομη περιοχή της Δανίας) για να καταλάβεις τη μουσική του. Ο Teitur, (προφέρεται "Τιιτουρ") λέει πως το μέρος είναι τόσο μικρό, ώστε οι γονείς μπορούν να παρακολουθούν τα παιδιά τους στο νερό ανά πάσα στιγμή. Άλλος ένας λόγος πάντως να πάρεις τον υποτονικό αυτό καλλιτέχνη στα σοβαρά, είναι ότι η πατρίδα του, για τους μουσικόφιλους, συναισθηματικά, αλλά και πραγματικά κατά κάποιο τρόπο αν τη δεις όντως στο χάρτη, είναι μεταξύ Σκωτίας και Ισλανδίας. Στη Σκωτία έχω πάει. Στα Νησιά [...]
Scandinavian singer/songwriter Teitur Lessen's latest provocative video is a track taken from his 2008 release The Singer, an album The Guardian UK declared "never less than extraordinary" while awarding it five stars. We like the near-creepy feel to the video, where Teitur takes the role of a bartender working in a strip club and falls hard for one of the dancers -- from a distance. Myspace Artist Site
It's been quite a while since I dwelled upon the French music scene. For no other reason than this: very few finds! I admit that I prefer to encroach the vast territories, be it the Canada of Sandy , Martin 's Great Britain with a London scene bursting with treasures, or those of my accomplices Trini & Laura who must have a terrible task covering the 50 states. Mea culpa, sometimes we only need to open our eyes, or ears for that matter, to discover pure wonders.In other words borrowing this old [...]

Some big changes here on the hill. For those of you that hit us up on feedburner, you can't see the lovely new design we are sporting (logo courtesy of Jenn Hughes ) but trust us, it's there. We busted out a new colour scheme to fit her logo and made listening to the MP3s a bit easier for y'all, but more importantly we have some great new focal pieces for our East Coast readers. We will slowly be adding a shows calendar, ( rant ) because heaven forbid any of the venues here could keep an [...]
Another Latitude announcement for you today (as if THIS, THIS, THIS, THIS and THIS wasn't enough!) and this time round, its more than just a few names. For the Uncut Arena we have Squeeze, Mew, Ladyhawke, Teitur, Music Go Music and Hjaltalin.
