eigentlich hatte dem traum-themeneintrag in angemessenem, aber nicht zu langem abstand einer folgen sollen, der sich musiken widmet, die das wörtchen "schlaf" im titel tragen (erst JETZT fällt mir auf, dass ich mich hier den unsitten des hiesigen popkulturellen mainstream angepasst und ausschließlich die deutsche und englische sprache berücksichtigt habe; auf französisch fiele mir AUF ANHIEB sofort ein weiteres, sehr gutes lied ein). einleitendes, pseudopersönliches blabla: früher konnte ich im grunde immer einschlafen, wenn es abend genug war. ob mich die sorgen oder schuhe drückten, ob ein freudiges oder unschönes ereignis bevorstand; ganz egal, ich [...]
If VH1 were ever to bring back Behind the Music, the story of Cat Power would make for one entertaining hour of television. It has all the basic elements of their standard documentaries; enormous talents and promise, inauspicious beginnings, torment by the demons of alcohol and drugs, and finally the triumphant overcoming of those demons and the recording of arguably her finest work. The whole story plays beautifully for Behind the Music, the arch, the various other musicians she has worked with, the gaps between albums, all scream tortured artist louder then any person ever could. And it was during [...]
So in this post I'm wearing my musically-inclined fiction suit, The Rex Monday, to offer up another virtual mixtape of sorts. There's not much of a mix, per se-more like old-school tapes I'd pass around with friends, where songs play in order to convey a story or a psychic state. If you're of a certain age, you likely know exactly what I mean. Yeah, this is another blind stab in my attempt to deal with Mr. Skips and me parting ways. I'm not at a place where I can really write much about it. I know I'm going [...]
I'm officially bringing back Theme Thursday (I'm not sure if it was ever 'out,' but I'd like to think that I'm a trendsetter). This Thursday's theme is covers. From time to time, I crave the familiarity of the oldies but goodies. I have to say, it's a pretty unsatisfying experience...Inevitably, I find myself wishing, yearning, that these songs were imbued with the soul-searching angst of

O selo 4AD lançará no dia 4 de fevereiro mais uma coletânea da Red Hot Organization [nada a ver com a banda e sim a ONG internacional que cuida das campanhas de conscientização e combate à AIDS bem conhecida de quem assistia a MTV nos anos 90 ]. O disco vai se chamar " Dark Was The Night " [nome de uma canção do bluesman Blind Willie Johnson], tem produção da turma do The National e trás só o filé do cenário alternativo com músicas inéditas naquele clima melancólico-positivista [...]
A Southern start to an epic musical journey Last October Joanne and I were driving back from a weekend away with friends listening to the brilliant Port O'Brien album All We Could Do Is Sing on the stereo. Track 3, Fisherman's Son, opens with the line, "I'm doing fine in Alaska" which got us talking about the potential of a great '50 States, 50 Songs' playlist we could lovingly compile for a future road trip. The more we discussed songs about places [...]

F im de ano e todas a publicações dão uma de Nick Hornby e montam suas listinhas de melhores lançamentos dos últimos 12 meses. Assim como feito no ano passado, aqui estão os discos lançados em 2008 que mais fizeram minha cabeça seguida de uma comparação com os que mais tocavam em meu CD Player 10 anos atrás. Como neste ano tá muito mais fácil escolher as melhores músicas que melhores albuns [só olhar que, ou contrário do que costuma acontecer, o top da Rolling Stone , NME , Mojo , Pitchfork e Spin [...]

Chan Marshall, known by her stage name Cat Power, is one of the most prolific singer-songwriters of the last decade. Her sexy, smokey vocals certainly match her stunning looks and her raw style of guitar and piano playing and intimate lyrics have made her music instantly recognizable. On Tuesday, Marshall released her second album of 2008, Dark End Of The Street , a companion piece to January's Jukebox . Both albums are almost all covers with Marshall running through her favorite songs by artists like Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Aretha Franklin to name a [...]
It's that time of year again — the turkey leftovers are gone and we're hearing Christmas music in every store in town, so it must be time for best-albums-of-year lists. After screaming matches, insults and a fist fight or two, the dust has settled and the Stranger Dance staff stands before you united with our humble list of the Top 15 Albums of 2008 . We've also listed our personal top ten lists below. As always, please let us know how foolish we were (both collectively and individually) for leaving your favorite band's [...]

Bloc Party – Intimacy As misleading titles go, 'Intimacy' is up there with the best of them. Musically in your face, 'Intimacy' sees Bloc Party flexing their indie muscles and widening their horizons with added electro and big beat. Once you get past the occasional dodgy lyric and barrage of studio wizardry, 'Intimacy' reveals itself as another strong release from Kele and co. Bon Iver – For Emma, Forever Ago The first time I pressed play on this record, it stopped me in my tracks. I sat in [...]
No, not Christmas. Christmas can bite me. I'm talking about the time for end-of-year Top 10 lists. I love a good top 10 list and have always wanted a venue on which to present one. When I was thinking of starting a blog, and this is true, one of the things that motivated me to get it together was that I would finally be able to put together a list of my 10 favorite albums of the year . Just like the magazines. Except nobody cares about mine. Bit of a twist this year. Because of my [...]

Sadly, Dent May just might be ruining it all for everyone. His album, which doesn't hit shelves till February of next year, has been abusing my music listening time lately making it all but impossible to compile some lists of [...]
