Ayer se anunciaron los nominados a los Premios Grammy 2012. Algunos de los que recibieron más nominaciones fueron Bon Iver , Adele y Mumford & Sons . Justin Vernon y compañía fueron nombrados en las categorías de Mejor Artista Nuevo , Canción del Año y Grabación del Año gracias a Holocene y Mejor Álbum Alternativo . [...]

De vez en cuando, al jurado del Premio Grammy le encanta voltear a ver a los artistas independientes y no tan comerciales. Bueno, bien puede ser que no sea tan de vez en cuando (el año pasado ganó Arcade Fire), sin embargo, siempre es una noticia cuando alguien como Bon Iver recibe una nominación a un premio de este tipo, que se ha distinguido más por recompensar las ventas y las apariciones televisivas que la calidad (aunque una cosa no excluye a la otra, por supuesto). El asunto es que hace unas [...]

During the infancy of 'indie', back when it was something that individual fans felt that they could 'be proud of', a Grammy nomination was met with astonishment and validation. However, in the post-Arcade-Fire-wins-the-nigh t-and-validates-indie era, it seems like random ass indie bands will get nominated every year, and no1 really cares, and we all already know that 'indie went mainstream'. Gonna be a weird era, but we will still see the same tweets/half-assed 'thought pieces' about 'what indie means' & other gimmicky over-analysis of 'the most coveted prize in American music.' The most stunning development of the [...]

Na noite passada, o Oscar da música se pronunciou e anunciou uma lista de indicados no mínimo surpreendente. Tudo indica que a vitória de Arcade Fire e The Black Keys em 2011 abriu os caminhos do Grammy para muitos artistas excelentes, que anteriormente não receberiam a atenção de seus tapetes vermelhos. Liderando as indicações, temos a já esperada Adele , que conquistou tudo e todos com sua excelente colaboração para a lista de mais vendidos: 21. Outra banda de destaque do ano de 2011 pode chegar ao Lollapalooza Brasil já com troféus sob [...]

" Grammy winner Justin Vernon" kind of has a ring to it, doesn't it?

In case you haven't been on Twitter in the last couple hours, the GRAMMY award nominations for the 2012 ceremony have been announced, and, as far as we're concerned, the biggest news is that Kanye West did NOT pick up an Album Of The Year nod for his landmark My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. I guess it was just too dark for GRAMMY voters. Anyway, the big winner on this side of the blogosphere was Bon Iver, who picked up nods for Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year for his beautiful "Holocene." He will [...]

Adele - Wireimage Adele is officially the belle of the 54th annual GRAMMY Awards ball, as she scores a whopping six nominations for the biggest awards show in music, including nods in major categories like Record of the Year for her ubiquitous smash "Rolling In The Deep," Song of the Year, also for "Deep," and Album of the Year for her sophomore album, 21 . But it's Kanye West who snatched up the most awards. The hip-hop visionary bests the British soul singer by one nod to score [...]

Well there it is. The Grammy. The award that artists strive to win and the one that bloggers and fans hate. Primarily because, as fans, we feel that OUR favorite bands deserve all the accolades and fuck the rest. But this award ceremony offers us a place to vent our frustrations and reaffirm our hatred for genres and artists we can't stand. There's gonna be a lot of hate for one Justin Bieber again...even if he isn't nominated for anything. Regardless, it's my job to make sure all of you freaks know [...]

Happy Thanksgiving from the RiO!B. Being that it's a time to be thankful, we would like to know what albums that came out this year that you're most thankful for? Personally, I'm thankful for new albums from Radiohead, Foo Fighters, Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, Beastie Boys, R.E.M, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mastodon and many more. So watch the special RiO!B episode up top and then leave a comment as to what albums make you glad you exist this year. Enjoy your feasting and football!

Truthfully and solipsistically, I wish you cared about me and the rest of the writers at Consequence of Sound so much that you'd want to hear our most personal thoughts on music, because you'd make our jobs way easier. I wish that I could just tell you that the new Atlas Sound album was "awesome, man. So good!" and that  Lulu was "just sad, you know?" It's what I tell my friends, and it's probably what you tell your friends, too, and it's the absolute pith and genesis of every word written on music - that first impulse you say [...]

Como cada año, la revista Uncut acaba de hacer públicos los nominados al premio al mejor disco en un galardón que, como no, lleva por nombre Uncut Music Award . Hay 8 nominados pero sólo puede quedar uno. Los participantes deben haber puesto su disco en el mercado durante los últimos 12 meses, y, como no, Bon Iver y Radiohead no podían faltar, después de haber sacado dos magníficas obras, Bon Iver y The King Of Limbs respectivamente. Entre los nominados, cuya lista podéis leer [...]

Today, I am taking a stand. After reading Nitsuh Abebe of  New York's  article “ Indie Grown Ups ," an editorial declaring 21st century culture monuments like Radiohead, Wilco, Neko Case, Feist and Bon Iver founders of “the new adult contemporary”, I couldn’t help but feel protective of the bands he unfairly maligns. On the surface, Abebe’s article seems inoffensive, ceding that these bands’ most recent works are respectable and retain artistic value. But then he calls them dull and lumps them in with the much-maligned “Adult Contemporary” genre; the mere mention of which has triggered Train’s “ Drops of [...]

Bon Iver y Arcade Fire sorprendieron con sus nominaciones a Banda Favorita en la edición de este año de los People's Choice Awards . La sorpresa pasa quizás más por la banda liderada por Justin Vernon que por los canadienses Arcade Fire , quienes no paran de obtener galardones. Como les anunciamos antes , ya fueron ganadores del pretigioso premio Polaris , además del Album del año en los Grammy y en los Juno [...]

Arguably one of the greatest compilations of music ever created, (I will argue this) ‘Somebody’s Porridge’ is the first instalment of what hopes to be a long-running series of curated playlists. Seventy-seven tracks (numerical symmetry really does it for me) smeared far and wide across the aural spectrum; you’d be hard-pressed to find a more eclectic selection. Several of the tracks have never had a formal release, a few are made by friends of mine, some are classics and a bunch are just plain old fashioned face-melters. All of them are outstanding tracks that I’ve spent [...]

James Blake est un des musiciens les plus reconnus du moment sur la scène alternative européenne. Je n'est pas besoin de vous re-re-re-re-re-re-re-présente r le personnage. Son nouvel EP Enough Thunder est sortie et on s'en délecte encore une fois. Ces 6 titres nous fondent dans les mains et nous glissent entre les doigts avec ce lyrisme omniprésent. On commence avec une introduction présente pour calmer les esprits et intitulée Once We All Agree , comme pour repartir sur des bonnes bases, James Blake nous offre un morceau composé de quelques accords de [...]

I'm a hundred miles and running right now so I have no choice but to make this a quick one. Ryan sent me a brand spanking new mixtape over the weekend and talk about perfect timing! My BB won't stop buzzing with emails, I have music to produce, restaurants to curate, DJ sets to finish and all in the before Friday when I fly out to DR to spin at a beach party. Life is going fast right now and I have no intention on slowing up. Anyways, Ryan says this is a pensive tape but for those [...]

• Et Musique Pour Tous - EMPT Presents - S u m m e r N i g h t s 1 a by Ryan Radler

  Fall means at least two things to me: football and listening to music at a different temperature. Walking outside first thing in the morning and hearing Zola Jesus when it's 57 degrees out is entirely different than when it's a milky 93 degrees. (Sorry, southern California. Ya'll got blackouts and heat waves now?). Where warm weather lifts the burden of a song, cold weather adds gravity to it. Summer songs are trickling off now, and whilst I enjoy that fiscal freedom where there's no heat or air conditioning bills, I'm beginning to dust off those [...]
