Norwegian songstress Ingrid Olava 's album The Guest was one of 2010's best kept secrets -- a deft, deeply moving and brilliantly creative album of piano-based (sm)art/pop that seemed to offer up new twists and undiscovered layers with each successive listen. Olava's working on the follow up, so we'll dig back for this special version of "Tomorrow" (from Broadway's Annie ) originally recorded and donated for an Amnesty International project in Europe. With basically just a piano and her own raw, dramatic singing, Olava turns the Broadway stage [...]
Blaakyum frontman Bassem Deaïbess was born in Beirut in 1977, in the midst of a 15-year civil war. When he was 3, his family left for Qatar, which was relatively peaceful and still under British rule. Despite being a Christian, in Qatar Deaïbess was forced to memorize the Koran and Islamic prayers, was forbidden to wear a cross, and was mocked by other students. Despite the ongoing war, he returned to Lebanon each summer. "Sometimes we'd get stuck in my grandfather's house, since artillery were located few meters away," he says. "The sound of bombshells dropping, and machine [...]
One of my favorite YouTube channels right now is easily 5-Second Films . Thought there is a limit on time in the project's videos, there's no limit on hilarity. Was that corny enough? Music's greatest satirist, "Weird Al" Yankovic, was actually featured in the YouTube channel's latest episode. Yesssssssssssssssssssssss!

Without retreading what has already been beaten to death here , there , and everywhere else , Black Metal has come a long way. As time marches on we break down the changes into waves, then scenes. USBM, Cascadian Black Metal, Post-Black Metal-they're all outgrowths of what has come before and the way creativity continues to push artists and musicians endlessly forward. As the mainstream media gradually acknowledges Black Metal and its many-headed offspring, it is inevitable that the genre will bleed into other, more commercial styles. And vice-versa. Tonight's show at the Echoplex, in the Echo [...]
The Owls Are Not What They Seem "...Not dread but a connection with our past is what we feel, a thread running back to the artless creatures we once were when we first heard the oboe-like notes from the Great Horned Owl. In Paleolithic times, we suspected omens in its voice, heard in it questions we were unable to articulate, but which have stayed within us, incomplete and taunting. We are certain that ancient, taloned bird sees what we do not, knows what we never will. And some night, silent as a gliding feather, [...]
For many people . . . OK, most people . . . jazz and metal exist in different worlds. Perhaps on some people enjoy listening to both types of music, but the two combined seems like something that just wouldn't work. Hank Shteamer, too, enjoys both types of music, but he intentionally seeks out nodes of intersections between the two musical forms and tries to understand them via in-depth conversations with musicians from both worlds. His blog, Heavy Metal Be-Bop , is where those conversations take place. Here he shares with us his sixth foray into the topic, [...]
As humans, we all share a sense of morbid curiosity. It is inescapable. Even if it's only the urge to look at a car crash, or an inner melancholia fulfilled by watching horror movies, we all have it, and we all satisfy it to a certain degree, in some way, throughout our lives. Death metal musicians certainly have it. We write about it, and display it proudly in our art and on our bodies. But what is death? What is the meaning of it, and how would we really react to it? I am all too familiar with it. I [...]

Egyptian-born and New York-based artist Nader Sadek is famed for his elaborate masks and stage art for metal outfits such as Mayhem and Sunn O))), and Sadek's new project, In The Living Flesh, is no less intricate and perfectly constructed than his former works. Through compiling top international musicians, including ex-Morbid Angel vocalist Steve Tucker (whose voice remains heavy enough to shake the ground beneath you), Sadek has orchestrated a supergroup that enthralled the audience at Manhattan's Santos Party House. In The Living Flesh comprises notable black metal dignitary Rune Eriksen (Ava Inferi, Aura Noir, ex-Mayhem) on guitar, Flo [...]

Editor's note: Steve DeCaprio is a member of the San Francisco-based metal band Embers, as well as a squatter at the Noodle house. As both squatter and musician, Steve lends a unique perspective to the issue of squats; the following article focuses on his experiences living in squats, playing and seeing music in them, and advocating for squatter's rights. I met Mila in 1999 at La Scintilla, a squat in Modena, Italy. I was on tour with my previous band Lesser of Two . Mila runs a number of labels including Agipunk , [...]

C'est sympa d'avoir des invités de temps en temps, non ? On peut boire une bière fraîche et écouter du son qui va bien. Après Lara il y quelques jours , j'accueille avec joie l'un de mes twittos préférés, Mr Trop Doux , le genre de garçon bien élevé toujours prompt à balancer un lien lol ou une douceur musicale qui fait mouche. Vous verrez qu'il y a dans sa playlist de bien jolies choses, mais très franchement, autant le laisser présenter sa sélection tout seul. [...]
