Posted in Play-This-List We're taking on a slight change of pace with this Weekend's Tunage, and a step back to 2006. An album that I've gone back to over the past few weeks is Midlake's The Trials of Van Occupanther, a classic no frills indie/folk rock album. 'Young Bride' is my hands down favorite. Before there was Fleet [...]

Ethereal - extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world. Press play on Ryan Radlers latest mix tape and that's exactly how the music will make you feel, immediately. The effect is no coincidence and if you're hip to the anti-summer/anti-winter concepts then you know that's what these tapes are all about... At the end of the day I think the mixes are really about how to navigate each season. Personally, winter has been killing me and this mix is literally some catharsis to cope with the stuff that comes. Cold, depression, [...]

Midlake - Roscoe I wanted a dining room table, I realized. I wanted a dining room. Living in Paris at 34, I had awakened and realized that I wanted to go home, only to discover that I had no home to go to. [ The New York Times / The Trials of Van Occupanther .]
Nee, ik ga er geen einde aan maken. En nee, ook al klink ik de laatste tijd als Daffy Duck (dat is een heel ander verhaal), dit is geen ode aan de Looney Toons (al verdienen zie die ode natuurlijk wel). Nee, deze Duurt Lang gaat over de heftige confrontatie die ik had toen ik [...]

Alternate blog title: Starting The Year Off Right My calendar is marked beyond legibility with concert dates for the next few months and my concert budget is shot... there is no other way I would want to start 2012. Recently I've been coming across album after album that I've loved for quite a while yet [...]

Syd Matters er den franske singer-songwriter Jonathan Moral og hans band. Pseudonymet Syd Matters er en sammenskrivning af Pink Floyds Syd Barrett og Roger Waters. I gennem det meste af 2011 har jeg nydt at lytte til Syd Matters' album Brotherocean , som består af en samling langsomme, hypnotiske, harmoniske og drømmende krydsninger mellem melankolsk pop og folk, der bringer tankerne over på bandet Midlake. Når det er mest højstemt minder det lidt om Sufjan Stevens. Sangene har ofte smukke korharmonier, og det lofi-akustiske går hånd i hånd med elektroniske indspark, der ubemærket fletter sig sammen [...]

Writing for a blog-especially a music-based one, has been something I've been wanting to do for sometime. Thank you to Ian for making that happen! Along with other passions like hockey and the love of travel, music shines throughout me. There is nothing I enjoy more than getting together with a group of friends, and having a sing-a-long. It is such a genuine way to express yourself, and a wonderful way to cohere with any type of emotion. For my first post, I'm choosing one of my favorite songs: Young Bride by Midlake. This [...]
I've spent days trying to figure out what other artist this album reminds me of... not being able to place a musical vibe or draw a comparison is a frustration I don't often encounter, and I must say I'm not a fan of the feeling. At first I would have compared his voice to Kasper [...]

Brett Anderson , líder de los recién reformados Suede , enlistó sus discos favoritos de los últimos 15 años para una entrevista en la NME, y claro, hay algunas sorpresas. Te dejamos con el arte de cada disco...¿tú qué opinas, le faltaron algunos discos o cuáles quitarías? 1. Interpol - 'Turn On The Bright Lights' 2. Björk – 'Homogenic' 3. Midlake – 'The Trials of Van Occupanther' [...]
Tweet Listen to and download the MP3 of "Song Song" below, the new track by Other Lives. Not many bands from Oklahoma have been making waves as of late, but perhaps the most notable of the ones who have are Other Lives . Having released their third album "Tamer Animals" this year they've gained a fair amount of support and expanded [...]
Today is our tenth wedding anniversary. Ten years! A few things have happened since then: moved from Arizona to New York to start our life together. Found great jobs and great friends while we were there. Jill schooled me on classic films. We lived in a giant empty loft in an industrial building in Williamsburg with little more than a mattress and two incredibly uncomfortable kitchen chairs. We moved to another part of Brooklyn and had a super named Ralph who'd say things like "Yous Guys." I tried to write a novel. We went to Paris in 2004--Jill's first time [...]

Last week, the UK's Larmer Tree Gardens hosted a hilariously deep bill for the End Of The Road Festival, a lineup that featured Joanna Newsom, Kurt Vile, Tinawiren, Lykke Li, Best Coast, the Walkmen and dozens of other notables. Elena Morelli was there to magnificently document the epic lineup. There's a peacock in one of her shots. You should find it.

The Blogophilia repost project continues... We've been busy with a lot of good submissions, and that's a good thing. It's time to take a breather. Today, we move forward with our goal of re-posting past volumes of Blogophilia due to demand. Remember, we're doing this all the way to volume 22, and then phhffttt! We're stopping there. Volumes 23-28 are currently active (zip format only for volumes 23-27), and we're making re-posted volumes available for about a week. Get 'em while you can. Blogophilia 15 [...]
Det är näst sista tiden på stora scenen, och bandet är tredje största headlinern på festivalen. Man skulle kunna förvänta sig en storpublik, men de som tagit sig till Midlake kan nog räknas till färre än de som stod framför Säkert! konserten före. De flesta som är där verkar dessutom observera konserten som något nytt istället för att leva sig in i den, antalet riktiga fans är ytterst få. Jag själv ska inte säga att jag kan ställa mig i den senare skaran, utan jag sätter mig i gräset och hoppas på att bli välsignad där. Och visst, den trolska [...]

Words by Jim It's happened before. We feature a band, we get to know them, we get to be pals, and then they feel comfortable recommending some music to us. It's a really nice benefit of this whole deal and I really love when it happens (if we like the music). It's much better than the pesky PR emails we get slammed with everyday and when the music is awesome, it makes our lives easier. Nice! It worked out great with Strand of Oaks and Juniper Tar , so let's try [...]

Midlake entered my life two days ago. Never heard of them before that and to this point, "Roscoe" is the only track I have heard. You might say I'm a bit backlogged on new music. At any rate it appears Midlake recently released a new album titled Trials Of Van Occupanther from which "Roscoe" is pulled from. I found "Roscoe" on a random tumblr page linked from another page from yet another and beginning on yet another. I forget where. Whoever you are Tumblr user, I appreciate your music taste and I'm sorry I can't send some traffic [...]

Kirjoituksesta ja kuvista vastaa Hannu. Laajempi kuvagalleria @ Flickr . Flow 2011 alkoi erittäin positiivisella yllätyksellä. Festivaalialuetta oli muokattu totaalisen uuteen uskoon. Laajennettu alue pitää sisällään uusia esiintymislavoja, hämyisiä elokuvamestoja, askartelupaikkoja ja ties mitä. Joku kertoi alueelta löytyvän jopa neppisradan. Me likes! Alue oli rakennettu nerokkaan sokkeloiseksi ja humalainen hortoilija löysi runsaasti mielenkiintoista tutkittavaa, mikäli sellaiseen jäi aikaa bändien katselulta. Suurin osa tämän vuoden esiintyjistä oli minulle tuiki tuntemattomia, mutta jo avajaispäivänä kävi selväksi, että järjestäjien musiikkimakuun voi luottaa. Ilta tarjosi yllätyksiä ja elämyksiä alusta loppuun. [...]
