Someone always gets snubbed. Despite launching the careers of many musicians, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences doesn't hand out Emmys for music supervision. If the songs featured on a show were previously recorded or created without the show in mind, they don't count. No original score? No dice. Music purists side with the Academy, and for reasons fair enough. But even if music supervision is the red-headed step child of the Nielsen family, there's no denying the lucrative exchange between music and television. So which shows score high with music fans?

By Jon Stone | @jwstone In the mid 90s a little-known band called that dog. was touring as a Geffen label-mate with Weezer. I first saw them in that context and became, quite possibly, their biggest fan . They were eclectic and raw , especially on their eponymous release, but they also wrote beautiful pop songs with with soaring (if occasionally intentionally dissonant) three-part female vocal harmonies. They managed to mix dirty, post-punk guitars with bright pop melodies in ways that allowed a little more success [...]
Toronto - I've always liked the idea of Morcheeba - good relaxing down tempo music featuring the smooth sultry voice of one Skye Edwards. Little did I know that she was actually dismissed in 2003 and the last two albums - The Antidote and Dive Deep were made without her. Despite liking the idea of Morcheeba, I had never fully submerge into their discography. However, after listening to their seventh album - Blood Like Lemonade , I think I will definitely take a trip into their world. Blood Like Lemonade features [...]
![Album Review: Suckers – Wild Smile [2010, French Kiss]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2664993_lg.jpg)
Toronto - This review has been a long time coming. If you look at my top 10 artists that I listen to while I'm at work for the last 3 months, you will see a band called Suckers near the top list: Well, who are these guys? Suckers is the latest band from white hot label French Kiss to put out a truly excellent album. At this point, I'm willing to try anything this label puts out. Suckers is a quartet from Brooklyn and Wild [...]
Siamo praticamente arrivati al giro di boa di questo 2010 ed è giunto il momento di tirare qualche somma per quel che riguarda gli album usciti nella prima metà dell'anno. Prima di tutto una piccola riflessione: il mainstream ha dato veramente poco. Questo non dal lato qualitativo (è abbastanza raro che mainstream e qualità vadano a braccetto), ma dal lato quantitativo. In questi primi sei mesi sono usciti veramente pochi dischi "studiati per vendere" e/o di superstar affermate, che sono stati in grado di far registrare ottime cifre di vendita... non per nulla sette dei dieci album più [...]
Tindersticks - Falling Down A Mountain Από την αρχή της καριέρας τους οι Tindersticks έχουν επιδείξει θαυμαστή συνέπεια. Από το ομώνυμο του 1993 μέχρι το Waiting for the Moon του 2003 μας χτύπαγαν την πόρτα με καινούργιο δίσκο κάθε δύο χρόνια. Μετά το Waiting for the Moon η μπάντα έφτασε πολύ κοντά στο να διαλυθεί ούσα για 5 χρόνια στον προθάλαμο του νεκροτομείου που ονομάζεται hiatus και σόλο καριέρα του τραγουδιστή ( αχέμ! ). Η νάρκη [...]
Beach House burst onto the scene a couple of years ago with their mega-chilled-out second album Devotion , which featured dreamy, hazy soundscapes and chilled out fuzzy electro-indie-pop songs. On the strength of that album the band started to gain some serious widespread notoriety and success. This year, the band released their heavily anticipated follow up album Teen Dream . With the new album they have built a mroe accessible and listener friendly experience on top of the cool, dreamy feeling that they perfected before to give us a more focused and even better effort [...]
Now that I'm back from SXSW, It's time to think about other music festivals I get to look forward in the coming Summer season. First up, the 5th edition of our own local little slice of the Summer music festival pie, I speak of course of Osheaga, which is held each and every year @ Parc Jean-Drapeau on île [...]
![[Álbum] “Teen Dream”, Beach House](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2350680_lg.jpg)
Eis o primeiro álbum do ano com sensibilidade aguçada o suficiente para provocar aquele frio na espinha enquanto é apreciado. Teen Dream é o terceiro e mais consistente álbum do duo Beach House e tem sido amplamente aclamado pela crítica . Instrumentalmente minimalista e detalista, os arranjos compõem um ambiente propício para que reine soberana a voz de Victoria Legrand . Não é a toa que ela desperte fãs notórios como Ed Droste do Grizzly Bear (que a chamou para o dueto que compõe a trilha [...]
Do songs have temperatures? Are some albums cold, while others are warm? I think the answer is a resounding “yes”, and I’d wager I’m not alone in this. Some pieces of music just exude a certain warmth or chilliness. After two excellent albums of wintery tunes, Baltimore duo Beach House have decided to mess with the thermostat, and the result is an early candidate for album of the year, and possibly the best thing the band has released so far. Perhaps sensing a need to switch things up [...]

J'avais tellement envie de t'embrasser que les commissures de mes lèvres tremblaient sans arrêt, et dans un geste de dénégation j'ai tourné la tête. Hier tu portais des ballerines couleur prune, c'était charmant, et tes cheveux rebondissaient sur tes épaules quand tu riais, ça m'a fait penser à San Francisco, aux fêtes foraines et aux champs de blés. Je t'imagine vêtue d'une tunique blanche en organdi et tu danserais autour de moi avec affection. Peut-être qu'un jour on retrouvera cette tension langoureuse, ce désir latent et ces regards amoureux. > Lover of mine > [...]

By Pete Donahue If you've heard Baltimore's Beach House before, a few elements probably stand out. Perhaps vocalist Victoria Legrand's husky, haunting voice, or her melodic keyboards grabs your attention most? Maybe it's guitarist Alex Skully's spidery guitar lines, capable of taking the lead in a song or assuming a more rhythmic role, that you think is the most prominent piece of the band's sound? Or maybe it's both musicians' instruments covered in considerable amounts of reverb that you effortlessly single out of their songs. While all these things are vital to Beach House's [...]
