After a hella successful inaugural installment last year, Adelaide's Splendour In The Grass annual spin off festival, aptly named SPIN OFF , is back for round two. And after a number of solid rumours and a headliner slipping their appearance, we bring you the lineup in it's full form! Featuring another eclectic 'bit-sized' segment from this year's massive SITG , SPIN OFF provides everyone in the sometimes forgotten state a slice of that beautiful festival pie we all love. So without further adieu, we [...]
Besides some great here and now experiences with bands like Metric, Of Monsters and Men, Passion Pit, Local Natives, and Yeah Yeah Yeah's in Day 1 of the biggest West Coast Festival in the nation, the proceedings last night in the desert of Southern California's Indio oasis included a preview (tralier) from the upcoming Daft Punk LP 'Random Access Memories'. Check out some of the videos captured below of the Day 1 Coachella performances ;
Tras varios días de análisis y reflexiones, presentamos la primera parte del reporte del festival Lollapalooza Chile 2013. Un festival ecléctico, con algunos puntos negros, pero varios momentos destacables. Esto fueron nuestros momentos favoritos del día sábado. Mañana, la segunda parte. Por Macarena Lavín y Gabriel Pinto. Fotos por Rodrigo Ferrari El día sábado, el festival Lollapalooza 2013 convocó a más de 70 mil personas en el Parque O'Higgins. Y se notaba: ningún escenario, por sorprendente que parezca, parecía estar vacío. Tampoco los stands de los diversos auspiciadores que, de manera [...]

I had such a busy couple of days and I just wouldn't have been able to have this week's post up on time if I hadn't recorded early. Let's hear it for doing things earlier than the last minute! So, here's the new countdown. It's quite enjoyable and good and fun. One last thing: If you can watch the Grammys tonight, I'd recommend it. I think it's going to be a pretty [...]
So it just so happens that I got the exact same recording time for this one, TO. THE. SECOND. I mean, did I realize that it was probably going to work out that way when I was recording the last intro? Yes, I did. It's still cool, you guys. You don't see this kind of thing very often. Countdown #138 ***Featuring*** Atlas Genius The Black Keys fun. Green Day Imagine Dragons The Lumineers Mumford & Sons Muse Of Monsters and Men Passion Pit Silversun Pickups
Coachella has announced their 2013 lineup, and it's a good one. There's a lot of classic acts making the stop to Indio, California this April. Both The Stone Roses and Blur are getting together, which is an incredible thing. Then you got Phoenix, Vampire Weekend, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Lou Reed, New Order, Modest Mouse, The Postal Service, The xx, Sigur Ros, Jurassic 5, Grizzly Bear, Violent Femmes, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Wu-Tang Clan, Social Distotion, and Hot Chip. It doesn't stop there. You got Passion Pit, Beach House, Band Of Horses, Local Natives, [...]
Hey everyone! Well, for the first year, I will be acknowledging the holiday on Monday. Not because I have made a point of not acknowledging it before, but because this is the first time that I've remembered that the holiday is on its way in time to make note of it on the show! This is a good show, if I do say so myself, but there are one or two intros that I think I may have let my mind lead my tongue way off the beaten path. Oh well, such is life, I suppose [...]
It's 2013 and we find ourselves where we always do in the hazy morning of the week after an Artists of the Year Countdown: Back to work. It's a countdown this week that kicks things off with 3 songs we've never heard on the show before. So that's fun! (and 2 other bands as well ;-) ) Countdown #135 ***FEATURING*** Atlas Genius The Black Keys fun. Imagine Dragons The Lumineers Mumford & Sons Muse Of Monsters and Men Passion Pit Silversun Pickups U2 featuring Johnny Cash
Favorite Albums of the Year Our last post of the year is the favorite albums list. Just like last year , I'll present my list of favorite albums from the year before I jump on my flight back to Denver. 2012 was an impressive year for albums, in my opinion. Last year, I had 3 albums that I loved and a bunch of [...]
![Best of 2012: Remixes [Top 12]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4692200_lg.jpg)
Last year was the first time that I did a "Best of" Remixes. So why not do it again this year. I am a sucker for songs being remixed and probably giving a bit of life to. You may agree or disagree on this list. Besides it might make you dance to it. So here it is my Top 12 Remixes of 2012. 1. Florence + The Machine - Spectrum (Say My Name) [Calvin Harris Remix] [...]
If I knew someone named Eve, she might write that I forgot a comma and also that I don't know what day it is. But I don't and I didn't and I do! Yikes. It's late, but I'll be posting this ON TIME, dammit :) NOTE: At the beginning of the episode, I say that it's Episode 133. Which is wrong. I just didn't do the crucial "save as" step in my podcast creation process. And I didn't realize that until I tried to export the podcast as an mp3 and was told that the mp3 [...]
There’s that old adage: if a tree falls on the internet and no one’s around to hear it, will anyone read its year-end list? Well, let's find out! Even though we haven’t written a single post all year, rest assured that we’ve been listening to all kinds of great music, and some of it was even released this very year! And even though we're a bit rusty, we've got some records we want you to know about. This list is shorter than in years past, but we also feel stronger about each individual record than we have on [...]
It's that time at last! Triple J Hottest 100 voting has opened. For those that don't let their musical intelligence be insulted by Triple J, this year promises to be another hard slog at getting those 10 tracks perfectly right, so that you can just tick them off as they come up one by one on the 26th January. Well... at least that's what it used to be like. It's been only 10 years ago now, that Queens of the Stone Age held the number 1 spot with their mental track "No One Knows", and only five years [...]
So we reach the business end of this year's album poll, as voted for by the State writers and photographers. This next selection features a total of six debuts, proving that new talent is still the lifeblood of the music world. In addition there's the return of an elder statesman and a sparkling release from a pair of Irish siblings. 20. Passion Pit - Gossamer Michael Angelakos digs deep. 19. Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - Trouble Summery dance vibes meets pop nous. [...]
So that means it's an improvement, right? Things are all culminating. The year of music, the festive fifty, the holiday season, family visits. All of it. I'm not sure if I'm going to do a "Best Of the Year" post this year. Last year the top 10 were very clear to me. This year it would be a top 5 (so that it wouldn't just be the 10 albums I've heard this year) and I'm just not sure that's worth it... And I have a lot of musical irons in the fire. So I probably [...]
I now present the top 3 finalists for this year's "Home" award. Appropriately named after Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros' hit song of the same name — a song so good, it's impossible to hate, even when it's overplayed and overused. In 3rd place, Of Monsters And Men with their hit "Little Talks". Having already conquered their homeland over the last couple of years, 2012 saw this six-piece from Iceland conquer North America and beyond. The band's debut LP, [...]
