Tweet The release of Sharon Van Etten's third album, "Tramp" , couldn't have come at a better time, as it arrives almost simultaneously at the same time as another newer female musician releases her first, yet highly anticipated album, that is Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". I couldn't help but note some interesting contrasts and comparisons between the two, as I recently read a piece over at Spin that defended Lana and I felt [...]

A veces sí puede ser un poco frustrante saber de la cantidad de buenos conciertos que hay en otras partes del mundo. Como sea, siempre es posible encontrar videos o versiones grabadas de casi cualquier cosa que queramos experimentar, aunque sea desde nuestra casa u oficina. En esta ocasión, SPIN nos regala un vistazo al show que Death Cab for Cutie (junto con Calexico, Amos Lee, Kid Rock, The Fray, y Iron and Wine) dio en el Brooklyn Museum, llamado Live from the Artists Den. Fue una sesión muy íntima, con sólo unos cuantos invitados, y en [...]

Este tipo de movimientos no se ven todos los días en el ámbito musical moderno, y mucho menos de bandas consolidadas como la liderada por Jason Pierce . El nuevo álbum de Spiritualized, Sweet Heart Sweet Light , está planeado para ser lanzado el 19 de marzo. O al menos eso es lo que pensábamos hasta ahora. Resulta que Pierce nos tenía una sorpresa a todos: Al parecer, le pareció una buena idea distribuir un disco y seguir trabajando en el real. Así como lo leen. En una entrevista para la revista [...]

Billboard : FADER Fort will be returning to SXSW sans its Fiat sponsorship. Peugeot, this could be your chance. Pitchfork : M.I.A set to release a new single next week. She is still quite fashionable judging from the accompanying pic. SPIN : All signs (twitter, L.A. Reid, Perez Hilton) point to a new Fiona Apple album surfacing soon. NME : Iggy Pop has been named Record Store Day 2012 ambassador. [...]

Forbes : Is Vice worth $1 billion and could it be the next MTV? All Hip Hop : Lupe Fiasco's record label troubles continue. Billboard : Vinyl sales are up for the sixth straight year. We'd like to think ATG Records had something to do with that. ATD : Is your high budget music start-up failing? Don't worry, you're in good company. GIGAom : [...]

the FUCKED UP 's he-singer covers the end of year SPIN magazine issue, which features their best 40 albums of the year. wotyougot

Some heavy hitting Sleigh Bells action for you in the form of "Born To Lose." This track is off their new album Reign of Terror, packed with some crazy guitar riffs all the way to the outro of the track.

By Bill Pearis One could argue (and we did, in our story on the band in the January-February issue!) that Fucked Up's rock opera David Comes to Life was uniquely resonant upon its June release because of the emotional synchronicity between an album that spilled forth with such an appropriately chaotic narrative and a year in which tumultuous disarray became the norm. But good lord, David Comes to Life could've been sung in backwards Tagalog and it still would've made perfect sense in 2011. That's the [...]

Many BPMs ago, when vinyl was the standard format, I was a nightclub DJ. Most of the places and many of the witnesses to my successes and failures have vanished into Boston's past, but during my decade in the DJ booth I was lucky enough to not only learn from some of the best DJs the city had to offer at places as storied as The 1270 and Chaps, but also to be steeped in the lore of disco's golden age by spending endless afternoons with Caril Mitro and her fantastic clientele at her much-missed record store, Vinyl Connection before [...]

Orange County-based Starving for Gravity has been cultivating its gritty, angsty alt-rock ever since Lucas Holter, Mark Allee, Ben Jindra, Aaryn Minich and Brad Kovar packed up the van in their native Minnesota and headed west. Since, they've made an EP with veteran record producer Michael Lloyd and, most recently, become one of five finalists in the nationwide Pop Up Live program, a project from SPIN , the snack company popchips and Reverbnation to expose emerging artists. They've joined Chicago's Counterpunch, New York's Christine Hoberg, San Francisco's the Bruises and Seattle's [...]
