Schuyler Fisk - unpretentious 28-year-old singer/songwriter and actress (and daughter of Sissy Spacek) headed from L.A. to the her home in rural Virginia to record the follow-up to her 2009 debut... // Release : Blue Ribbon Winner (just out) // Quote : "...her Virginia roots show through in the loping cadence of her clear, remarkable voice...she has a girl-to-woman lyrical perspective, a willingness to walk past irony to a self-defined truth..." -- NY Times // Sounds like : the thinking person's Colbie Caillat...folk/pop with a smattering of modern [...]

Shining the spot-light on three albums and two EPs from 2009 that everyone should be listening to and talking about: William Basinski - 92982 Known best for his awe-inspiring The Disintegration Loops (2002, and followed by parts II, III, and IV in 2003), William Basinski is a classically-trained American composer who deals in loops and experimentation. 92982 (see Cokemachineglow's excellent review ), brought out from [...]
Schuyler (Sky-ler) Fisk is an indie singer-songwriter whose debut album The Good Stuff has finally emerged. Acquainted with Schuyler's acoustic solo songs and her live shows, I was intrigued to see what this album would bring forth and how the songs would differ from her EPs. In The Good Stuff, crossover songs like "Where I'm Standing," "Hello" and "Afterglow" have been reworked and transformed
A little lazy, I know - but here's a few recent inboxers that got way more than one play, I've a shortage of words this morning, or maybe they're being rationed in these economic straits, just like colour was after the war? (thanks Alexi), but not having a lot to say doesn't mean much, 'cept there's less to read, which might be a good thing. Whatever, you can't stop the music... (no-body can stop the music), gah!, that's the Village People in my head, YMCA, In The Navy, Macho Man... oh heavens, gotta listen, now!; they're the musical equivalent [...]
W ith her vibrant voice and honest songwriting, Schuyler Fisk draws legions of fans to her music, both onstage and online, where she enjoys an active grassroots following as one of the top indie artists on MySpace. This is her anticipated debut album The Good Stuff produced by Dave Bassett in Los Angeles. Schuyler has performed with artists including Sheryl Crow , Rachael Yamagata , and Cary Brothers . She has also played across North America with the Hotel Cafe tour , with fellow singer-songwriter, friend and collaborator, Joshua Radin [...]
As the songwriter that was cool enough to impress celebs like Ellen Degeneres and Zach Braff , Joshua Radin has garnered a lot of attention for a guy who has just released his sophomore album Simple Times . Radin took some time out from a recent tour to talk to PopWreckoning's Joshua . Check it out here: Joshua, PopWreckoning: Hey, this is Josh. What's going on? Joshua Radin: Hey man, how are you? PW: I'm good. Let's start with your [...]
Schuyler Fisk and Ben Taylor at The Bell House (01/28/09) Words and Photos : Tim Griffin The Bell House has become the seat of rock royalty's progeny over the past week with shows from the likes of Benjamin Taylor (son of James Taylor and Carly Simon ), Schuyler Fisk (daugter of Sissy Spacek ) and Harper Simon (son of Paul Simon ). While Paul Simon and Rufus Wainwright made [...]
Let us hope, sincerely, that Sissy Spacek simply doesn't understand what a groupie does when she enthuses over her daughter Schuyler Fisk, and her career : "She's fabulous. She's going to have an album out in February. I'm kind of a groupie. I just go around from show to show." There is a thin line between motherly support and an EastEnders plotline; let's hope this is a misunderstanding.
Rock the Casbah, my friends. While I was in San Diego, I went to the infamous and intimate Casbah to hear Schuyler Fisk, one of my favorite musicians, perform. The opener was a girl named Sharon Little, who just got done opening for Robert Plant & Alison Krauss on tour. I had never heard Sharon Little's voice before and was shocked by the raspy richness that this little gypsy girl possessed. The
Would you like some cheese to go with that Iron & Wine ? If so, Joshua Radin will be more than happy to oblige. Arriving two years after his Zach Braff -endorsed debut We Were Here , the all-too-aptly titled Simple Times doesn't appear to have moved too far away from wherever Here was. Like that album, it's another inoffensive, uninspiring set of indistinguishable love songs that range from subtle to slight to saccharine. Maybe I'm being too hard on him. After all, there are more than [...]

Wow it's been awhile since I've posted! My apologies...life has a way of making us do what we have to do that keeps us from doing what we want to do sometimes. But...that's neither here nor there because today I'm back and I've been listening to TONS of great music since I've been gone and I'll be trying to share it all as quickly as I possibly can. I'll start with my boy Joshua Radin since
You've heard his voice on Scrubs , Grey's , Catch And Release , Brothers and Sisters , Idol and The Last Kiss . He's woo'd crowds on the late show rounds, headlined The Hotel Cafe Tour , supported KT Tunstall and Ingrid Michaelson on tour, and even ended up dating a co-Hotel Cafe Tour member/singer-songwriter Schuyler Fisk (pron. "Skyler"). Who's that? It took my friend Whitney all but .36 of a second to screech "Oh-my-God, that girl starred in The Baby-Sitters Club !" when a then-anonymous girl with a [...]
Joshua Radin's ability to make simplicity beautiful is what carried his debut album We Were Here to great heights. The way he can wear his heart on his sleeve and make it seen perfectly ok is what hooked his legion of fans. Well maybe that and Zach Braff's numerous uses of Radin songs in Scrubs and films. With a fitting name, the Ohio-born, Los Angeles-based musician's new album Simple Times, takes a step in a new direction while staying lodged in his 'simplistic' roots. The first thing that stands out with [...]
I'm so super stupid stoked about Meiko re-releasing her debut album to the masses that I just couldn't wait to share about it. It hit iTunes today and can be found in stores on September 9th. I've mentioned her a handful of times and never really devoted a full post to her music and shame on me for that because she's seriously one of my favorite female artists of the moment and has been for a
