I've got this ongoing list of albums coming in 2010 that I'm eagerly anticipating. Mixed in with the new entries from acts who've already released something are artists and groups who have yet to really try to establish themselves (for the purposes of this post, that excludes anyone who by the end of 2009 will have commercially released an actual intended-to-be-played-by-the-r adio single, including as a famous part of an earlier group) but have already given me reason to hope for what they'll do. The bad news is that in many cases my excitement is based on only a [...]

"Everything, everything ends." A little Death Cab, a little OK Go, a Thom Yorke song, and a Killers ballad. Mix tape or soundtrack? In this case, a little of both. It's more astonishing than any other soundtrack I've heard since Garden State , but The Twilight Saga: New Moon soundtrack sounds like the ultimate playlist straight from my iTunes. Usually I rate soundtracks to their ability to use the right song at the right moment, but that's not a critique I can use until the movie comes out in November. For now, [...]
Alasdair Maclean's voice has always intrigued me. It's not that there's anything so particularly wonderful about the pitch or the quality. It's all in the delivery. I get this feeling that The Clientele's songs are crafted around his soothing British rasp, its gentle vulnerability and its unwavering perseverance. Maclean's voice is what makes The Clientele's folksy brand of eerie, delicate pop so fascinating. But enough about voices...what about the music on UK collective The Clientele's Bonfires on the Heath ? I'm glad you asked. Take the self-deprecating God Save the Clientele , turn up the volume, [...]

Se il buon giorno si vede dal mattino, a Bologna e dintorni per la musica live questa sarà una buona stagione. Abbiamo appena fatto in tempo a riprenderci da un'Estate eccellente (come al solito monopolizzata dall'Hana-bi, il beach indie club dei nostri cuori) che è ora di ripartire con i club al chiuso. La situazione è più calda che mai: il Covo mette in campo una programmazione degna degli anni d'oro, il Locomotiv continua a consolidarsi, l'Estragon è una certezza per i nomi grossi e quelli più mainstream, per gli amanti dell'elettronica è tornato [...]

Miike Snow , the Swedish pop trio, has been shaking around and denting up the music scene this past 2009. When the band came out with the debut of their two singles "Burial" and "Animal" earlier this year with remixes by DJ Mehdi and Treasure Fingers in tow, people were perplexed as to what this entity "Miike Snow" was. The band had emptiness on their myspace, there was nothing on Wikipedia or anywhere on the internet for that matter. Nobody knew if "Miike Snow" was a band, DJ, solo artist, etc. A mystery that indeed helped build a buzz around [...]
Gli Armstrong? sono una realtà nuova per molti, soprattutto per chi non bazzica nell'underground di Torino e provincia. Per questo sicuramente in molti si sono persi in questi anni l'emergere di questa band che brilla per la sua completezza e che ha le carte in regola per andare oltre, seppur divincolarsi nell'estremamente strano e campanilista panorama italico resti un'impresa per pochi fortunati. "Collateral" è di per sé un piccolo gioiellino, una collezione di 11 pezzi che suonano come un saggio e studiato collage di influenze tra le più variegate, dallo shoegaze al post-rock, dal pop [...]
As rain poured upon the city and NXNE unfolded around me, me and my trusty umbrella strolled on down to the right up the street from my house location of Soundscapes to take in the bewildering Ohbijou as they performed songs from their latest Last Gang release Beacons . Shamefully, I have not yet listened to the album, but from what I hear, it's a delightful companion to their debut Swift Feet For Troubling Time s; an album that was pretty dang near perfect, if you ask me. Although I [...]
Guest post: Treadmarkz is my brother-in-law, a Human Beatles Encyclopedia and the author of the weblog Treadmarkz.wordpress.com . Some Country music purists would probably say that anything that warrants the name "Alternative Country" is not really Country. But ultimately it is the domain of the fan to judge what an artist is or is not, to them. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Jennifer Dixon . A little country sensibility with a style that hovers along the cusp of blues, pop, jazz owing to a [...]
In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book. First published as The Girls Who Saw Everything in Canada, Sean Dixon's The Last Days of the Lacuna Cabal is a complex, magical journey that celebrates the love of literature while unfolding its fascinating tale. Baby Got Books wrote of the book: " The Last Days of the Lacuna Cabal is [...]

After weeks and weeks of screaming at the TV and wondering what the heck American Idol voters were thinking, I am currently eating some delicious humble pie. I am so proud of you America, you got it right with the revelation of the best final two contestants in the history of the show, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert . I have to say I'm a little shocked. Yes, I did predict this outcome, and I've been on with a lot of my predictions this season, but I'm still a bit surprised. I mean you inflicted [...]
I Jennifer Gentle riprendono il tour. A maggio 7 nuove date, a Roma ci saranno ancora Luca e Alberto dei Verdena
RECOMMENDED ROUND UP FROM THE MAIL BAG BLUE BELLA NICK MOSS & the Flip Tops/Live at Chan's Combo Platter #2: Schlepping Lurrie Bell back to the scene of the crime for the last live album, the suburban, white blues boy takes the Chicago vibe with him to the east coast to let them feel another helping of what the hawk can do. It's hard to know if Rhode Island gets parties like this often but this is the kind where they tear the roof off the sucker. 1012 BROOKLYN JAZZ UNDERGROUND DANIEL KELLY/Emerge [...]
