Young adults like to spend New Years Eve getting ridiculously drunk. Oldies countdown the new year with the fam bam, if they make it to midnight. Fourteen year olds drink goon and dodge the copious amount of police on the Harbour. But then there's the festivals, the glorious NYE festivals. You get to watch live music, camp under the stars and surround yourself with like-minded people as you whisk away the previous twelve months and set yourself a new years resolution that you know you won't stick to. One of these wonderful [...]
I was waiting to see if the world ended, before I posted this - thought it could save me some time - but here we still sit. It's Christmas morning, everyone's already done a list of some sort and I was hoping the list-y dust would settle before I posted mine. Happy Yule to y'all! The last half of this year for me sucked donkeys for a variety of intense, life-changing personal reasons. Admittedly, my output on BSR took a bit of a hit while I was struggling with real life. But in 2012 music was here, there [...]

Beal recently appeared on an episode of Nigel Godrich's From The Basement and performed a captivating acapella version of "Blue Escape," as well as an interesting rendition of "Wavering Lines." Watch the clip below, and if you'd like to watch the entire episode, head over to Crackle (US only). ( Complex )

Frank Yang Every good thing you've heard about Cat Power live is true, and also a lie; the same goes for every bad thing. The reputation that Chan Marshall gained as a fragile, erratic performer over the first decade or so of her career may have seemed overstated to mythic proportions, but few have made great efforts to dispute it. I can't speak from experience - though a modest fan since Moon Pix , I'd avoided seeing her in concert because of that reputation and reports from the Toronto shows I'd [...]

2012, année déconstruite
Janvier : Peter Broderick – http://www.itstartshear.com On avait entrepris de s'écrire des emails en forme de lettres à l'ancienne. Ça commençait pas "Cher" et ça finissait par de longues formules abracadabrantes que j'avais du aller chercher sur des sites de rédaction de lettres formelles pour l'administration française. On s'en envoyait des dizaines par semaine, pour se dire tout et rien à la fois. Et puis j'ai décidé de lui écrire une vraie lettre, avec du papier, un crayon, des ratures et mon écriture de gamine de CM2. J'ai commencé [...]

5 Bands That Snuck By Most In 2012

The Best Videos of 2012
Even though MTV doesn't really play them anymore, music videos have had a strong resurgence these past few years thanks primarily to services like YouTube and Vimeo. In addition to monetizing their visual content, artists have been able to reach and therefore gain more fans through a medium thought to have killed the radio star. It has also led to some huge leaps in technology as seen in Chairlift's incredible video for "Met Before". Director Jordan Fish and his team essentially allowed the viewer to choose their own adventure (remember those books?) and create a new experience each time [...]
