If tonight's show list were any longer, it'd be a Phish song: ► New York's Penguin Prison brings his dancey electro-pop to the Echo, supported by American Royalty. That's Penguin Prison's Occupy Wall Street-inspired video for "Don't F*ck With My Money," above. ► M83 and Big Black Delta do a second sold-out night at Club Nokia. ► "Fela! On Tour" brings members of the Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra and cast members from the Tony Award-winning musical to the Troubadour. ► Ozma headlines the Bootleg [...]

On January 14th, Matador Records and its subsidiary True Panther Sounds will release an 11-track vinyl-only sampler entitled Intended Play . Pressed on cherry red vinyl, the collection includes new and unreleased music from Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo, Perfume Genius, Ceremony, and Tanlines, as well as previously released tracks from Fucked Up, Girls, Cold Cave, and Kurt Vile. As per above, it also comes wrapped in a pretty bad ass cover. Here's the best part though: the thing costs only $1.98. Pre-orders are now ongoing at Matador's web store . Intended [...]

Cold Cave have scheduled another Los Angeles show as they continue touring in support of their secon album "Cherish The Light Years". This time they are taking the show to a much smaller venue. You can see Cold Cave when they perform at the Medusa Lounge on Friday, January 13th. This will be a stripped down performance and will only feature two members of the band. There will also be plenty of guest and resident DJ's to keep the music going all night. Advance tickets will not be made available. You can only [...]

I waited till 2011 to finalize my albums list - all my lists - partially due to laziness, being busy, the holidays... but mainly because I'm not sure what the hurry is. I don't do this for the web traffic (clearly), so I gave myself a little more time to decide than usual. (And as long as this goes up before the Village Voice' s Pazz n' Jop, I don't feel delinquent.) So here's my list, the top five or so have been a lock for almost half a year, but the rest were in flux right till I [...]

"Tell me how the stars exploded Heaven Caved In Earth corroded I was still breaking my body in when you first touch me I know people will say We've thrown our lives away But is there a trail to salvation or salvation anyway??" Após a revelação final do Top Álbuns 2011, altura ideal para retomar a lista das músicas que mais me tocaram em 2011, sabendo todavia que ainda há outras
I almost didn't post this (there is an obvious element of repetition between this and my favourite albums of the year) but as it was half finished decided to see it through, posting the first half now and the second half a little later today... the following are twenty five of (let's face it there were a lot more than 25 great songs this year) my favourite tracks of the year, not specifically displayed in order, impossible task! 25. Wild Flag - Future Crimes Posted 7th September : "A guitar [...]

Gli ultimi giorni dell'anno sono giorni di classifiche. Questi sono gli album che ho ascoltato di più, sono parecchi perché quando ci son da fare delle scelte non riesco mai a decidermi. Non c'è un ordine, ho aperto la cartella della musica scaricata quest'anno e ho copiato e incollato i nomi dei dischi che son stati la colonna sonora del mio 2011, tutto qui. Come al solito puntando la copertina vengono fuori nome del gruppo, titolo dell'album e cliccandoci sopra si arriva a qualcosa da ascoltare. Divertitevi. [...]
![[30 - 16] Los 150 Tracks de 2011!](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3932485_lg.jpg)
Estamos a tan solo una entrega (sin contar esta, duh!) de conocer quien ocupa el puesto numero 1 dentro de la extensa seleccion que realize de algunos de los mejores 150 tracks de este año. Espero que cada uno de ustedes haya estado disfrutando bastante de cada uno de los temas que ha estado desfilando a lo largo de estas dos semanas que llevo con este conteo y por supuesto, espero que tambien esten disfrutando de cada una de las bandas, proyectos, solistas, nerdos y demas cosas que les he estado compartiendo a diario durante los ultimos 12 meses.

It's generally excepted, that when away from for an extended period from the population from which one would generally select their lovers, that all bets are off. Prison would certainly be an example…or perhaps the navy. San Francisco during the California Gold Rush of the mid 19th century would also be able to stake it's [...]
![NO CONCLUSION Mixtape #13: "[plants]"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3926899_lg.jpg)

11. Cold Cave - "Confetti" At one point the Cold Cave record was possibly my favorite of the year. It just got so many things right at the perfect time: we were due for a reexamination of 902s wide-eyed teenage apocalyptic romanticism via some kind of self-conscious, unsubtle goth/industrial/synthpop revival. Heavy monosynth moongazing that's simultaneously tongue-in-cheek hilarious and dead-fucking-serious. I'm not sure everyone got the high-wire act that Cold Cave was going for here. 12. Purity Ring - "Lofticries" This is the track that [...]

I promised the staff I would not go all Masterpiece Theater with this intro, so I'll be brief. Our Annual Report has reached its halfway point with our Top 50 Songs of the Year. The many flags of our staff are hoisted high - and we couldn't be happier with what we have. From Cults' very first song to Tom Waits' thousandth song, we put up the tracks that left us with more thoughts, feelings, and impressions than any other. We think we done good. But just to make sure the world still spins on its [...]

One second. Sometimes that's all a photographer gets - and hardly in ideal conditions. At worst (and most likely), a photographer may be squeezed between 15 others in the pit, mere feet away from pyrotechnics, finding support from stress-rattled knees, while focusing on a spastic frontman and sheltering oneself from a downpour, which may or may not involve a hailstorm. Truth: A great photographer handles the unenviable task of capturing that one moment everyone goes home thinking about. Half-truth: There's probably a statistic somewhere that discusses what the job does to the heart. If not, there should be a study. Double-truth: [...]
