http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes .com/2012/02/09/a-star-is-born -and-scorned/?hp The New York Times is allegedly one of the 'last authentic content farms' in the game, writing long 'pieces' with serious words that 'sound important and authoritative', which is why they NAILED IT by calling Lana Del Rey 'a skinnier Adele.' It's a great moment for American alt music journalism, sticking it to 'the goddamn British' and hefty mainstreamers who <3 Adele. Curvaceous and pretty in a dress, she brims with catchy songs, all a bit retro, ironic and modern. Without straying too far [...]

Earlier this week, the NYT's issued this correction after screwing up a detail in their retrospective of The Shining, Stanley Kubrick's horror classic: This article has been revised to reflect the following correction: Correction: January 29, 2012 An earlier version of this article incorrectly described imagery from "The Shining." The gentleman seen with the weird guy in the bear suit is wearing a tuxedo, but not a top hat. Yes, that would be [...]

Link: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01 /29/arts/music/born-to-die-lan a-del-reys-debut-album.html?_r =1&ref=arts&pagewanted=all It seems like every one is 'blowing their load' on the Lana Del Rey gang bang, as if it is a pornography film entitled 'Indie Gangbang: Can she handle 1,000,000 fresh loads #facialfest2k12'? Now it seems like the New York Times, who is like the biggest blogpaper on the planet, has finally decided to join in the slutshaming of Lana Del Rey . They do their best to 'pan the eff' out of Lana Del Rey , and also, pan the eff out [...]

"In certain arty neighborhoods like Williamsburg and Bushwick, some men are twisting their long hair into a form more famously worn by librarians, schoolmarms and Katharine Hepburn. But don't call the male version an up-do or a chignon. Call it a man bun." ZOMG! Can you believe there are dudes in Brooklyn who wear their long hair in a bun ? Clearly, the New York Times has uncovered the most significant story in the early days of 2012.

"Texting While Walking" by NYC-based filmmaker Casey Neistat is a humorous take on the dangers of texting while walking on city streets. The video is a New York Times opinion-documentary ("OpDoc" for those in the know).

A small portion of the ugliness.​The past 24 hours have been admittedly strange for the cult of Justin Vernon. As has already been discussed in detail, Bon Iver's self-titled, pastoral folk album is u

Joseph Herscher ( NYT interview with him here ) takes a sip of his coffee, setting off a Rube Goldberg chain reaction to turn a single page of his newspaper. I wasn't aware that hipsters still read the newspaper or even knew what a newspaper was, but I can imagine if they did they would make it as complicated as this. [via cynical-c ]

David Bowie, quien en días pasados cumplió 65 años, al parecer además de ser un visionario musical también puede adivinar el futuro. Al menos eso es lo que se percibe si consultamos una entrevista que ofreció hace 10 años al New York Times en la que hace una puntual predicción sobre la industria musical y los copyrights. Justo ahora, parece cumplirse la profecía de Bowie, al menos parcialmente estamos cerca. Acá algunas de sus citas en esa ocasión: 1. "No sé si tendré un label dentro de algunos años, por que creo que no se podrá trabajar con [...]

Every [two weeks?] Jamie Hale takes a long, hard look at the music industry and the blog scene that feeds it. Here, he releases those findings and makes snarky, sarcastic remarks. Admittedly, both Jamie and Knox Road are a part of this scene. So sue us. Ohhhh some critics like to opine about the current state of the music industry (yours truly included) and that just riles up other critics who like to opine about how wrong the former critics are. It's a vicious cycle of critics being critics, and never liking or agreeing with what [...]

Simone Felice singing the sad? No way!! Here he goes on about stories of hardship and horror he finds in the mentioned rag. His Bright Eyes-esque wallowing is always a bit much but the swooshing production at the end of the track comes as a nice concluding divergence. At the end of the day, I could easily imagine this being on the OST for a Hollywood melodrama but never on my Droid. Simone Felice - New York Times by The Line Of Best Fit

The last few years have certainly had its fair share of emotional ups and downs for Simone Felice . In 2009, the singer-songwriter parted ways with The Felice Brothers, revealing the heart-tugging reasons for the break with a public open letter to his fans. Then in 2010, Felice underwent open heart surgery. All this hasn't slowed Simone down, as he has continued to write (both music and prose), record and tour, and come 2012 he will release his self-titled debut album via Conor Oberst's Team Love label. The largely self-produced, ten-track record, which will hit stores on [...]

In its 54th year, what do the Grammy's even mean anymore?

From Anthony Tommasini of The New York Times . Executive summary: Classical music audiences seem more curious than ever, and performers have been emboldened over the past decade or so to take more chances. Composers from the early and mid-20th century have been brought pretty well into the repertory. These days orchestras and ensembles trumpet their premieres. So should those who have campaigned for contemporary music declare victory? Yes and no. Keep reading here .

Does it seem to you that there's a load more tours being pulled these days because of the singer having throat problems? You're not wrong, according to the New York Times . Turns out it's not that throats are getting damaged more easily, but that it's a lot easier to spot problems: Dr. Steven M. Zeitels, the Boston surgeon who operated on Adele to fix bleeding in her larynx, said that over the last 15 years the use of fiber-optic cameras that can scan the vocal cords for minuscule injuries and abnormalities has become [...]

Both Phil and I absolutely loved the recent documentary about the quirky and incredibly talented photographer Bill Cunningham. We're excited to report that 'Bill Cunningham New York' can now be viewed for free. It's a 90 minute critically-acclaimed documentary about the life of New York Times fashion photographer Bill Cunningham, who's known for his candid [...]

"The movie poster is dead. Long live the movie poster. Gone are the days of hand-drawn studio posters that possessed a creativity and artistry matching that of the films themselves. Think of "King Kong," with its harrowing illustrations, or Saul Bass's Minimalist design for "Vertigo." The contemporary studio poster is often a literal, less adventurous affair, like the vision of Julia Roberts on the back of Tom Hanks's scooter in the poster for "Larry Crowne," a typical example of today's photography-driven advertisements. But an outfit far from Hollywood has sought to recapture the vintage hand-drawn spirit while injecting [...]
