No podemos recibir este 2013 si es que no despedimos 2012 como se lo merece. Los últimos doce meses fueron excelentes para la música de varios estilos, con buenos regresos y sorprendentes apariciones. Para tratar de que no se nos escape nada, hemos organizado cuatro listas con distintas categorías: discos, remixes, canciones bailables y no bailables, que reflejan el consenso entre quienes hacemos esta página. Hoy vamos a empezar con las canciones no bailables. Quizás la categoría más amplia y más difícil, ya que muchos de nuestros discos favoritos tenían al menos tres o cuatro cada uno. Eso [...]
Thanks To Camilo for this great artwork. Looking back at 2012, there were plenty of albums that I loved. Was it the best year of music in recent memory? Maybe not, but it was a damn good year in its own right. There is a lot that we may look back on and remember well into the rest of the decade. This year I listed my Top 40 albums, as well as a few honorable mentions that were as close to making my list as they come. I didn't get to listen [...]
Everyone else is doing it , so I guess that means that we need to do it too. Yes, mom, we would jump off a bridge with everyone else if they were doing it.. because, that's how we roll. So, we've broken down our lists into our favorite "national releases of 20123 and our "Nashville releases of 20123 as a No Country team. We decided to throw our best shows of 2012 into individual lists since we usually try to cover as many different events as possible. To let you have the full opportunity to absorb our gems, we are [...]
We debated, we disagreed, we came up with our collective best 50 albums of 2012.
(photo by cubagallery ) These are 50 tracks that delighted, inspired and fascinated us in 2012 and that we think are worthy of remembering long after the year is over. We present them here in highly unscientific ordered list form, with Matt's songs marked with a "-MG" and my choices with a "-TJ" next to them. To better spread the love, we've stuck with the one song per artist rule. Click here to download all the tracks in a zip and subscribe to our Spotify Playlist to stream them all. Enjoy y'all! [...]

Diciembre es el mes de la subjetividad, donde todos los medios realizamos listas sobre “lo mejor” del año que termina, recordando toda la música que sirvió como soundtrack de los días que vivimos. Este 10 de Diciembre de 2012, la redacción de RockandRadio ha decidido elegir los 25 discos que más sonaron en esta oficina [...]
Portada del álbum Tramp de Sharon Van Etten Texto: @folkmetender Este 2012 fue un año enteramente musical para mí: me llevó de viaje a varios festivales, pude ver a algunas de mis bandas favoritas (nunca pensé ver en vivo en el mismo año a Refused , Against Me! , This Will Destroy You , Godspeed You! Black Emperor y Explosions In The Sky ). Me enamoré perdidamente de Sharon Van Etten y Daughter . Conocí proyectos nacionales que me volaron la cabeza como Soledad , [...]
Here at Flavorwire, we're constantly fascinated by the creative process and what drives people to be artists. In the past, we've looked into musicians discussing their songwriting process, and we're similarly interested in what drives people to start creating in the first place. We've delved around and come up with a selection of quotes from our favorite musicians about how they got started on music, why it is they do what they do, and/or what they're hoping to achieve with the creation of their art. The results await after the jump, and we think they're both revealing and fascinating. Do [...]
As Ireland's only major festival this year, expectation is high and it looks as if Electric Picnic may just be about to rise to the challenge. With a fairly impressive lineup already confirmed, more acts have just been added to Stradbally for 2012. Along with some of popular music's biggest names we now have some of the most hotly tipped breakthrough acts of the last 12 months. Add to that a sprinkling of soul-stardom plus some of Ireland's national treasures and you'll hear very few people bemoan the absence of Oxegen this summer. The newest [...]
You may or may not have seen that new show called Opening Act last night, wherein a team of "industry judges" – viz. Mary J Blige, Olivia Lee, and that unpleasant English guy from Popstars and So You Think You Can Dance – judge various hapless bands for the right to support huge stars like, um, LMFAO or Jason Mrazzzzzzzzzzz. Still, the show did get us thinking about how plenty of great bands have started their careers by playing some support slots that seem hilarious in retrospect, from Radiohead opening for Alanis Morrissette to [...]
Hi, my name is Matt. And thank you for looking at my list. I'm the staff member that tends to lean towards the atmospheric, embellished, vastly over-extravagant kinds of songs. I like to get lost/lose myself to the music. Over the next sequence of 20 songs, you'll be delivered to far off places where the floor is [...]
Last week we were treated to an impressive lineup on Jools Holland with Alabama Shakes , Jack White , and Grimes , and this week's episode was just as good. St. Vincent played "Cruel" from her latest album "Strange Mercy" , Damon Albarn dropped "Apple Carts" from his "Dr Dee" [...]
The other night when Jools Holland aired with Alabama Shakes , Jack White , and Grimes , they played a few cuts from their respective albums and now the rest of their sets have made their way online. Jack White did "Blunderbuss" track "Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy" , The White Stripes classic (and my personal favourite song of theirs) "Ball And Biscuit" , and a little interview with [...]

Ayer el programa de la BBC, Later…With Jools Holland emitió los directos de Grimes (“Visions”), Alabama Shakes (“Hold On” y “Be Mine”) y Jack White (Sixteen Saltines y Freedom at 21”), como los tenemos disponibles por youtube os los dejo a continuación y así podemos volver a hablar de los nuevos trabajos de estos tres, "Genesis", " Boys & Girls " y " Blunderbuss " respectivamente.

It was a big night on Later... with Jools Holland with performances from Jack White , Norah Jones , Alabama Shakes , and Grimes . (Music trivia timeout: Three of these four acts have worked together? Can you name which ones?) Supporting Blunderbuss , which is out today, White ripped through "Sixteen Saltines" and "Freedom At 213. Norah Jones showcased "Happy Pills" from her new Danger Moused-produced LP, Little Broken Heart . Alabama Shakes performed "Hold On" from their recently-released debut, [...]
Filed under: The Hit List Getty Images Among the 2,000 or so acts that will ply their trade at SXSW this year, a lucky few will leave Austin on the road to stardom. Amy Winehouse , the White Stripes , the Strokes and many, many others saw their careers take off after the festival, and rather than give you yet another SXSW preview, we decided to ask some of the [...]
In honor of SXSW 2012, we'll be doing our own SXSW Advent calendar, of sorts.
