We resume our reposts of the Blogophilia series this week with volumes 8 and 8.5. Why 8 and 8.5? Well, I mixed these at the same time, and the tracks came from the same collection of songs I reviewed. Calling one 8 and the other 9 didn't feel right. We've also had a 12.5, and recently a 26.5 for the same reason. Like volume 7, these two mixes really capture the summer spirit. Volume 8.5 has a throw in from an "oldie but goodie." Enjoy... Blogophilia Volume 8 [...]
Thao Nguyen and Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlin -- better known as Thao and Mirah -- have hit up the WXPN studios for their latest push behind their solid joint album, Thao & Mirah . While there, they tackled several songs off the record while also chatting with host Michaela Majoun about just why and how they joined forces. Here's hoping they decide to continue this collaboration, because even though Thao & Mirah was good, these two have the potential to do something great. Let's get a sequel, please. You can stream [...]

The Head & the Heart @ Sasquatch 2011 ( more by Josh Darr ) To quote Sub Pop : Seattle's The Head and the Heart have been on the road since February and clearly have no plans to slow down anytime soon. They've recently played shows with Death Cab for Cutie in Europe, My Morning Jacket in London, Iron and Wine in the Midwest, and have an upcoming string of US dates with The Decemberists. And, the band just announced their first ever headlining [...]

Seattle's the Head and the Heart's story goes like this: They toured their asses off, self-released and sold 10,000 copies of their self-titled debut, toured a whole lot more, and landed a deal with Sub Pop. The label would then re-release The Head and The Heart this past April, when the Northwestern folk outfit continued their seemingly never-ending jaunt. Said jaunt will only continue this fall when the Head and the Heart will embark on their first headlining tour. Like-minded alt-folk act Thao With the Get Down Stay Down serves as the opener for the entire tour. [...]

BOBBY 's inevitably eponymous debut is still not quite yet out, but the band is steadily winning hearts and minds, from NPR and BV to new touring buddies Thao & Mirah . The last time I saw TT the Bear's as packed as it was on Tuesday night might have been for Franz Ferdinand back in 2004 or so, but the crush (like the buzz) was still expectantly building when BOBBY took the stage. TT's approaches the platonic rock club –sweaty back bar pressing bodies onto the crowded floor, a stage just barely tall enough to distinguish [...]
