What a week. Since Monday, the mp3 world has seen the glorious return of a bona fide classic band, the first single off one of the biggest MCs in the world’s forthcoming album, a heartfelt lament by a Big Apple rap legend, an angelic monolith from one of the UK’s favorite pop princesses, and much more. To find out what and whom we’re talking about, look no further. The Beach Boys – “That’s Why God Made the Radio” The first single off the Beach Boys’ reunion [...]
With their first Coachella 2012 performances a not-quite-distant memory, over the weekend some artists engaged in live collaborations to make for unique experiences in their second fest go-around. John Fogerty joined the Black Keys , Annie Clark of St. Vincent sang with Andrew Bird, and Thom Yorke came out during Modeselektor's set to perform "Shipwreck." The spine tingling magical moment of the weekend was during Radiohead at the end of "Karma Police" when the crowd continued to sing "I Lost Myself" after the band had stopped. Check out the robust gallery of photos above and [...]

Para fechar definitivamente o ano musical de 2011 e tal como em anos anteriores (com excepção para o ano de 2009), faltam os famosos pRéMIOs especiais merecidos por algumas bandas/artistas (vá, podem ser chamados os "Kraaks de Ouro") merecem ter na prateleira do local onde ensaiam. A lista poderia ser algo extensa, mas vou seleccionar apenas alguns que merecem efectivamente o prémio a ver se

Quase quase a finalizar o ano e quase quase a finalizar o balanço de 2011 (este ano não haverá top dos discos de 2010 que ouvi em 2011 porque efectivamente... não houve nada de extraordinário que tenha ouvido este ano e que fosse de 2010), ficam por cá alguns álbuns que considerei como sendo uma verdadeira SECA, alguns mesmo até poderiam ser classificados como MAUS. O mais curioso é que
So here it is...in no real particular order, my best albums of 2011 list. It was definitely a great year for music. I had many of these albums of repeat for several days, if not weeks, straight. 2011 was also an amazing year for Canadian musicians - check out Spinner Canada's article, " 2011: The Year Canadian Music Broke ." Adele - 21 Adele - Turning Tables Bon Iver - Bon Iver Bon Iver - Michicant [...]

David Byrne: " big suit " wearer, architectural instrumenteur ... Filipino royalty enthusiast? If it means more Cyndi Lauper/Tori Amos duets, we're in. The Talking Heads frontman, along with DJ Fatboy Slim, presents Here Lies Love —out April 6—a collaboration fittingly rife with indie rock royals: Florence and the Machine, St. Vincent, Santigold, and more.

The end of the decade is nearing a close as we here at The Yellow Stereo present to you our favorite albums of 2009. Even though we haven't been around since the start of the decade, I want to say on my behalf that it's been an absolute joy doing running this blog for you guys for at least the past three or so years.

As you might be able to tell by our lack of posting, we were hard at work over the holidays putting together our end of the year lists. Today is the first of three lists - our Best Albums of 2009 list. So in no particular order, we present them to you: The Antlers - Hospice This intensely beautiful, heart-wrenching album is full of more tragedy than we would hope any one person would
We've seen an unprecedented year of new music in 2009. There's been enough diversity to satisfy practically anyone's music tastes. We definitely had a surge in surfer sound revivals, dreamy bedroom pop, lo-fi garage rock, and psychedelic electronica, but we also heard just about everything in between. It'll be interesting to see what trends emerge next year. Before we leave 2009 for good, we wanted to recap of our top rated album releases and close out the year with our top 100 songs. [...]
Our finest 20 records of the year are the ones that are closest to our collective hearts from a San Francisco band's debut to a Kosmische pile-up between Tangerine Dream, Sunno))) and proggy ambient techno to the return of some French Anglophiles, to our highest charting Irish albums, a band on their 13th release, an icy Swedish enigma and a slew of Brooklyn based bands. Albums of 2009: 75-51 | 50-41 | 40-31 | 30-21 | 20-1 [...]

Norman Cook, aka Fat Boy Slim, is no stranger to high-profile collaborations. But his latest project might just take the cake. In fact, it does... like totally. As we told you back in October , Cook and David Byrne have once again teamed up for a rather unique project. Following in the footsteps of The Brighton Port Authority’s I Think We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Boat , the legendary duo hit the studio with a number of other high-profile musicians for a concept album based on the life of former first lady [...]
