[MP3] Beach House Norway Analysis of the Cultural and Critical Impact of this Song: This mp3 is the 'beginning/launching point/kickoff' of the 2k10 music season. The first step on an annual cycle to attempt to understand 'who is the best/most culturally relevant/buzzworthy/meme-able' band of the year. It is this cycle which gives the blogosphere purpose, giving us a reason to live/evaluate/judge even though 'time' is irrelevant on the internet. Beach House's PR/marketing team should be commended for setting the tone for 2k10. In [...]

For ramblings on how I came to compile this list go here . And for commentary on previous selections: [ #50-46 ] [ #45-41 ] [ #40-36 ] [ #35-31 ] 30. Heartbreaker - Ryan Adams (2000) The argument that most of the world's greatest art is derived from sadness is one that I've always worked hard to refute, but a guy like Ryan Adams doesn't make it easy for me to do so. It doesn't [...]
So I'm trying something different right now. I'm going to link to 10 blogposts that I think are particularly good. I'm going to ask you, my readers, to thumb-up or digg or whatever both this post and some of the ones I linked to, if you like them. Then, I'm going to ask the owners of those blogs that I link to to make their own posts, linking to me and to some posts that they like . Then ask their readers/bloggers to do the same. None of those bloggers know I [...]

Even though this chill session was happening in real life, Ed Droste also facilitated this same relationship on the internet with thousands of followers on the popular social networking site 'twitter.com.' Over the past year, @EdwardDroste became one of the most beloved alternative celebrities on twitter. It made me sad to learn that Edward Droste committed suicide. [...]
French songstress (and actress) Charlotte Gainsbough is preparing her first album in four years, "IRM," and she has some pretty heavyweight collaborators: Nigel Godrich, Jarvis Cocker, Air and ... Beck , who produces and duets with Serge Gainsbourgh's daughter on the song "Heaven Can Wait." I'm not sure I grasp the meaning of any of the video's vignettes, but they're all in slow-motion, so maybe you'll have time to figure it out. ◊ ◊ ◊ Speaking of Beck, the third installment of his Record Club is up. The series features Beck [...]
So the pretty lil event site Winter is the New Summer that Devin and I have been working on has officially launched in full! Whoo! Let's have a 750ml salute to that! We did a soft launch in October, then last week we introduced the poster concept and from this week on until the end of winter we will have a different member of the Portland scene acting as a Poster Boy or Poster Girl, holding up our event picks of the week, this week being Rocky formerly of the Hush and currently of [...]

Have you been keeping up with Beck's record club project ? Well, if you have not, the uber talented musician has been covering songs recently, and usually with a talented cast around him. Here is the premise of the record club. Record Club is an informal meeting of various musicians to record an album in a day. The album chosen to be reinterpreted is used as a framework. Nothing is rehearsed or arranged ahead of time. A track is put up here once a week. As you will hear, some of the songs [...]
Also, I do not think there's any possible way the "real" Contra could top the "fake" Contra mixtape thing.

Filed under: Canada Following in the footsteps of fellow Canadian musicians like Feist , Peaches , Gonzales and Mocky , Hidden Cameras frontman Joel Gibb headed off to Berlin hoping to soak up some of that city's uniquely bold culture after the release of the band's last album. But if listeners think the dancier beats on tracks like 'Do I Belong' or the stately grandeur of 'Walk On' and 'Ratify the New' from the band's new 'Origin: Orphan' album were directly inspired by Gibb's Berlin sojourn, [...]

La scorsa settimana abbiamo terminato il nostro viaggio attraverso gli album più importanti del decennio che si sta concludendo. Abbiamo quindi pensato di riassumere il tutto in questo post che non è altro che la lista completa, tappa per tappa, degli album che di volta in volta abbiamo approfondito, in modo tale da avere una sorta di indice delle varie puntate. Dopo il salto trovate anche la listona di tutti gli album che di anno in anno sono stati inseriti fra "gli album da salvare". [...]

Beck continue son projet Record Club. Après The Velvet Underground et Leonard Cohen, le monsieur originaire de Los Angeles a décidé de reprendre l'album Oar de Skip Pence. Mais, Beck, comme sur les deux projets précédents, a décidé de s'entourer de musiciens. Cette fois ci, c'est au tour de [...]
Following up on covering The Velvet Underground & Nico and Songs of Leonard Cohen , Beck's Record Club takes on Skip Spence's classic Oar along with Wilco, Feist and Jamie Lidell. The first fruit from the sessions, album opener "Little Hands," is up on Vimeo now: Beck shares some notes on the session: This one took place last June when Wilco was in town for the release of their new eponymous album. They came by after [...]
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 [...]
As we previously reported, during their swing through California earlier this summer Wilco stopped by Beck's recording studio to lend a hand to his Record Club project - which has already featured albums by The Velvet Underground and Leonard Cohen. For the third installment, the combo took on Skip Spence's cult masterpiece Oar. Here's Beck, Wilco and the lovely Leslie Feist with the album's opening track, Little Hands...
