If it's mid-October in New York City, then it's CMJ Music Marathon time... five days and nights of music, film, informative panels, and parties that guarantee a good time, if your idea of a good time involves nonstop live shows from up-and-coming musicians from a variety of genres. Thing is, since you're reading EAR FARM, we're going to go ahead and assume that CMJ 2009 is your idea of a good time. Ours too. And it just so turns out that fourteen of our previously featured Bands of the Week are playing the festival [...]

Photography by Miki-Maddison A second Whip-It post in one week ?? Fuck yeah! Last time, we explored all things Juliette Lewis and had one hell of a good time doing it. Well, throughout the week, Baby's been listening to the soundtrack for the movie and after hearing a few gems off the compilation in the car with her, I had to grab this and listen to it proper myself! I gotta tell ya, this ain't [...]

Sugar and Gold was a band that seriously looked like they just stepped out of the 70's when I saw them open for !!! (chk chk chk) at the Independent last year. They could have been the house band at that really awesome party scene from "Boogie Nights" where Dirk has the epiphany about what his acting name should be. They're that awesome. They're hitting the road this fall for a full national tour, and they're starting things off here in San Francisco on Thursday night at The Eagle. I [...]

Drew Barrymore is kind of adorable. Jens Lekman? Also kind of adorable. So we thought maybe they already knew each other from some Secret Adorable People Club we weren't invited too, but at least we now know for a fact they can hug and the universe doesn't like explode into kittens playing with dangling objects or anything. Drew is directing the upcoming indie-buzz film Whip It that takes on roller derby culture, and apparently wanted a few of Jens' songs in the film so bad she flew him out to L.A. to talk about music [...]
We like Ellen Page. Something about her left of center/alternative looks and demeanor, her choice of movies with killer soundtracks, and the air of modesty works. That's why we're super stoked for her upcoming film and its corresponding soundtrack. Stoked. Whip It! , out October 2nd, sees Page play Bliss, a small town girl who is overburdened and overwhelmed by her demanding mother and her desires to see her child become a beauty queen. After a chance encounter with the sexy rascals of a nearby roller derby team, events are [...]

Recommended Show: SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 2009 DAZZLER @ PIANOS 158 Ludlow Street Manhattan, NY 10002 $8, 8PM After catching Dazzler's opening set for Anavan last night at Death by Audio, we decided that if anyone missed coming early enough to catch the LA band at that show, they needed to come out on time tonight (Dazzler takes the stage at about 11PM at Pianos). What makes Dazzler is the backup vocals, which are some sort of amazing autotuned or vocoder shit. Seriously, you won't be disappointed. Growing @ P.S. 1 Woodhands [...]

To accomplish something in music or in life you have to remained focus, be confident, and get out there and meet people. It's a cliche, but it's true... it really is about who you know and when you know them. As a musician the best way to get to know people is to tour and then tour again. The more audiences you can play in front of the more people will remember your name and tell a friend and possibly buy a shirt or an album. Chicago's Shawn Roseblatt is the heart and soul of Netherfriends , [...]

With weather reports predicting high temperatures of up to 95 degrees, day two of Lollapalooza wasn't exactly going to be a walk in the park, either. Well, in some respects it was, but you get the idea. By high noon, mile-long lines had already gathered at every beverage stand, and hundreds of bikini-clad girls flashed around their fresh and fashionable sunburns. Neither shade nor sunscreen made a difference - even the Ice Cream Man couldn't save the day! Instead, while the heat continued to join the thousands of Lollagoers, a mighty wind picked up the slack, cooling things down and [...]

Band: Drug Rug From: Cambridge, MA Sound: Sunny harmonies with clouds ahead, classic squawking rock with flair Similar Artists: Blitzen Trapper, The Band, Beachwood Sparks, Apollo Sunshine Listen: "Never Tell" West Coast sunshine beams down on a classic enclave of New England intellectualism. A boy and a girl fall in love, start a band, and put their luminous harmonies straight to work. Atop a fuzzed-out foundation of roots-rock, folk-pop, and back-porch jams, things are getting interesting….expectations [...]
by kevin diamond Summer may or may not be here, depending on the day. I spent a 4th of July in the epic sunlight of a far away island, and it sure felt like summer. Today, gray clouds converge above a morose borough. Can we blame them? Summers contain endless joys and subtle pains: Freewheeling shards of sunshine, and crispy skin burnt by that sun's same rays. A week ago I saw a rainbow. Last night a full moon. Mother nature has many faces and she shows them [...]
