Este 10 de Diciembre de 2012, la redacción de RockandRadio ha decidido elegir los 25 discos que más sonaron en esta oficina [...]

Emily Berger While it's true that Toronto's days of having a BIG annual music festival out on the islands appear to be over - the locally-grown, Wavelength -affiliated ALL CAPS fest has been more then happy to step in for those needing to combine a ferry crossing with live music to make their Summer worthwhile. Since their inaugural edition in 2009, they've put together bills that have showcased a lot of local and a little bit of imported talent, combined with art and film components [...]

"A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men." -Willy Wonka Best Coast - "The Only Place" If living in California actually is anything like what Best Coast make it out to be in their latest video, I might start believing Bethany Cosentino when she sings, "Why would you live anywhere else?" Dirty Projectors – “Gun Has No Trigger” Is that you Dave Longstreth? It's hard to tell due to the fact that the Dirty Projectors spend almost the entire video in [...]

Lollapalooza is back and bigger than ever with an eclectic set of headliners that ranges from the post-Madonna, dancehall pop of Lady Gaga to reunited Seattle grungers Soundgarden to the unbridled anthems of indie rock saviors Arcade Fire .

Here's your Loud Loop Press Lollapalooza 2010 preview... [...]

Throughout the 1990s Perry Farrell's traveling Lollapalooza festival was a staple of the summer concert season bringing together an eclectic mix of acts from the worlds of alt.rock, metal, hip hop and punk. Since returning in 2005 as a multi-day destination festival, Lolla has cemented itself as one of the premiere US festivals, and after last week's "hangman" line up tease fest organizers have unveiled this year's initial batch of artists that will descend onto multiple stages at Grant Park in the Windy City.

GSL's Top Albums of 2009 revealed!
As you might be able to tell by our lack of posting, we were hard at work over the holidays putting together our end of the year lists. Today is the first of three lists - our Best Albums of 2009 list. So in no particular order, we present them to you: The Antlers - Hospice This intensely beautiful, heart-wrenching album is full of more tragedy than we would hope any one person would

für die Wahl unserer Jahrescharts habt ihr ja noch bis zum 5. Januar Zeit, um euch aber die Wahl zumindest in einer Kategorie vereinfachen zu könne, präsentiere ich euch hier die gemeinsamen Top 10 von 14 Musikblogs in Deutschland, darunter auch ich als Repräsentant dieser Seite. Platz 10: Fever Ray – s.t. Das vermeintlich kälteste Album des Jahres, zumindest wenn man die verzerrte Stimme und die dumpfen Synthiesounds die ersten Male auf sich wirken lässt. Doch hinter dem eisigen Wasserfall sind ungeahnte Landschaften zu finden. Ruhig stapft das [...]

This was really hard for me this year. Spending more time with this project (i.e., the blog), intentionally listening to more music, and talking to more people about music, exposed me to more music in the past twelve months than I think I have ever heard in that same period of time in my [...]
We have to start this list off with a disclaimer. We have three writers, all with different tastes, so the list should reflect that a little bit. Also, these are our opinions, and by no means, are they meant to be seen as an "end all be all" to the question of what were the best songs of 2009. That being said, we like our list quite a bit. Sure, it's got some expected numbers at the top, but the rest of the list is genius. We've got some of the songs streaming for you, and the rest take you [...]
Siguiendo la tradición de 2007 y 2008 , el término del primer semestre obliga al primer recuento del año en materia de discos.
