Just a few months after the Terrible Angels EP , French/English songstress Charlotte Gainsbourg is already back with Stage Whisper , a double-LP of live and unreleased material released via Because Music / Elektra. You might have already heard the first single "White Telephone", well here comes another song from the collection, "Paradisco", written and produced by Beck. To celebrate this release, Beatport gave producers a chance to remix "Paradisco" and maybe get their remix released on Because Music—home to the likes of Metronomy and Uffie . [...]

Ahh, good old computers. Aren't they just great? These days it's so much easier to get to stage one of your career as an ambitious musician by tip-tapping away at your desk. Do-it-yourself is a phrase that's been taken away from the out-of-town hardware stores and bestowed upon a new breed of bedroom producers. It's now possible to use a computer to lay down a multitude of ideas in a song. You can produce it right there on your laptop, even adjusting for any lack of real skill, and record it with some pretty smart equipment, at least to a [...]
Sasquatch! music festival just released its 2012 line up, and those of us who bought tickets pre-announcement have plenty of reason to be grinning ear to ear. To anyone not already in possession of the coveted tickets, I recommend you get on it. With bands like The Shins, Beck, Metric, Silversun Pickups, Bon Iver, The Sheepdogs, Jack White of The White Stripes and Jack Black of Tenacious D , all playing in the stunning backdrop of The Gorge, in Washington State, Sasquatch ! is gearing up to be one major [...]
Student grades are due tomorrow, but we went to church anyway - we had to sing, and anyway, after two years of semi-regular practice as a Unitarian Universalist, I have come to a place in my life where I find peace and solace in shared practice which starts and ends with love and service, togetherness and open-ended truths, and a shared commitment to social justice. Much of this is due to the particulars of our chosen worship setting. The UU church which we attend is in transition, with an interim minister who has my [...]
The line-up for this years Sasquatch Festival came out on Thursday night and it is a pretty decent looking list. Even though there is roughly a -12% chance that I will be able to attend this year, I thought it would be kind to preview some songs from artists that I would be excited to go see. This is just a small sampling so head over to The Official Site for more info about bands playing and how to get tickets. Enjoy! Free mp3: Active Child - Hanging [...]

Sasquatch!'s 2012 lineup is officially one day old and that means it's time for some post-reveal analysis. In the pages that follow, we run through the biggest highlights and surprises appearing on this year's bill, in addition to the most glaring omissions. We also highlight five names worth knowing as you prepare for Memorial Day weekend at the Gorge. Highlights Beck Stalk enough festival forums and you'll see Beck's name pop up every now and then. Shortly after these wishlist proposals there's typically a textual scoff and/or write off [...]

What joy we festival lovers received today! Aye, the line-ups for two of the best festivals of the summer, Sasquatch and Primavera Sound, were released, and are they ever a gift from the festival deities on high. Both are absolutely stuffed with bands that we love and have been geeking out over for months if not years. Sasquatch, one of our favorite line-ups from last year as well, boasts artists that will sound breathtaking in the Gorge. The dreams you have about seeing Bon Iver under the stars and surrounded by landscapes as picturesque [...]
Los festivales siguen y siguen alrededor del mundo y ahora es turno del Sasquatch! Music Festival . Este festival, creado en el 2002 por el promotor Adam Zacks, se caracteriza por su enfoque en bandas de indie rock, aunque también presenta una infinidad de propuestas alternativas que dan para todos los gustos, entre ellos varios actos de rock alternativo, hip-hop, e incluso comediantes.

Encabezando la lista tenemos a Jack White, Beck, Bon Iver, Beirut, Zola Jesus, pasando por The Roots, Explosions In [...]

Sasquatch! , held every year in the Pacific Northwest, isn't regarded as one of the bigger music festivals in the United States, but is usually regarded as one of the best. Last year, festival organizers enlisted the talents of the Foo Fighters , Wilco , Death Cab for Cutie , Modest Mouse , The Flaming Lips , and lot more over the course of four (yes, four) days. While that may be fairly impressive for what isn't regarded as one of the year's bigger events, this year's does boast a fairly heavy - [...]
The annual Sasquatch festival, definitely a festival that I need to attend in the very near future, announced a killer line up for this year's installment. Recently solo Jack White, along with Beck and Bon Iver, will be headlining the George, WA based three-day event. Also leading the way are Pretty Lights, Tenacious D, The Shins, Girl Talk, St. Vincent, Feist, and Silversun Pickups. But that's not all who you'll get to see at the Gorge Ampitheatre this year. Also performing this year are Metric, Mogwai, Explosions In The Sky, The Head [...]

Charlotte Gainsbourg - Stage Whisper By Solange Moffi Charlotte Gainsbourg , daughter of you know who (if a well-guided and true muso you are, that is), has proved an effortless coolness magnet with the likes Air, Jarvis Cocker, Neil Hannon, Tony Allen and Nigel Godrich all standing in line previously to put their stamp on the self-converted chanteuse's cap, on 5:55 back in 2006. Three year later, she even enrolled fiddler extraordinaire, Beck, to tailor-produce her next LP, IRM . The pair seems to have [...]
![[Flashback] – Beck – "Sea Change"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4027868_lg.jpg)
Tweet [In the first half of 2011 we ran a few "Flashback" posts giving a little hindsight loving to great/underrated/forgotten albums from 10 years ago. We didn't really have a plan or timetable for those posts, but we loved writing them, and from our ongoing photo series of great albums on Facebook it's clear that you guys like a little reminisce about old greats too, so for 2012 the "Flashback" is being resurrected as a fully fledged feature. We'll be [...]
Heaven can wait, and hell's too far to go. I've been on a bit of a Charlotte Gainsbourg kick ever since seeing Melancholia (which was by far and away the best movie of 2011; fuck the Academy). This has mostly applied to films, but her music hits a sweet spot too. She's the daughter of famed French chanteur Serge Gainsbourg, her music toes the line between French pop and indie rock, with a splash
