Lia Ices, whose Grown Unknown was one of my Top Albums of 2011, recently applied her haunting voice to Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here." You can download a free, legal mp3 of the cover at The Fader. Lia Ices - Wish You Were Here (click for mp3 download page)
Song: "Wish You Were Here" [Pink Floyd cover] Artist: Lia Ices Pink Floyd is pretty hallowed ground, as far as my rock history fandom is concerned, so I wasn't sure what to expect from Lia Ices . Her hauntingly pretty, mellow dreampop debut, Grown Unknown , made an impression on me last year, but I've lost touch with it. After this, though, I'll be revisiting it, for sure. This is far more than a re-singing of the lyrics, a re-playing of the melodies. Her voice lilts and impassions the words [...]
If there's one record that I had to choose for not getting its due last year, it would probably be Lia Ices Grown Unknown . Perhaps its because the Brooklyn-based chanteuse creates languid songs that take a while unravel themselves. As on "Little Marriage" the spareness is deceiving and often disjointed.

Leslie Simon 's 2009 book Wish You Were Here: An Essential Guide To Your Favourite Music Scenes - From Punk To Indie And Everything's In Between 's title is a bit misleading, despite its length. Firstly, it only covers a handful of scenes in the United States. Secondly, it forgets a couple great scenes (earlys aughts Detroit, any decade Austin-fucking-Texas(!?!?!?!), and Olympia, WA by the way cannot be lumped in with Seattle) while focusing on others like Suburban Florida (?!?!??!?!) that hardly anyone actually gives a shit about. And thirdly, by "punk to [...]

I'm not a country fan but in order to stay true to posting each one of these shows this week I have to put this one up as well. I will admit though that having the violin play the intro is a nice touch. Dierks Bentley - "Wish You Were Here" (Pink Floyd Cover) Here is how the week has unfolded so far and who's next Monday - The Shins performing "Breathe" from Dark Side Of The Moon [...]
![[Album Review/Listen] – Portugal. The Man – “In The Mountain, In The Cloud”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3617065_lg.jpg)
Tweet Buy the album from Amazon- Vinyl | MP3 | CD Since their inception in 2006, Alaska’s Portugal. The Man have been working overtime. They’ve produced an album a year and several EPs in between, and with each record have further crafted their explorative, highly creative sound. Last year’s “American Ghetto” was a trippy gem of psychedelic rock. Now, not without controversy and nervous comments from their [...]
Is this a hell of a week to be a Pink Floyd fan or what?
If you're like us you wore out your copies of Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, The Wall and other Pink Floyd albums in high school. On September 26 there will finally be a reason to pick up new copies of Floyd's 14 original studio LPs as a feature-loaded set of remasters will come out that day on CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, an array of digital formats, viral marketing and iPhone Apps. The new remasters come in four different varieties - Discovery, Experience, [...]
Photo by G. Roger Waters of Pink Floyd A website called Why Pink Floyd... ? has just launched and it appears that the Floyd are about to hook fans up with a ton of unreleased songs. The releases are set to be launched on September 26, 2011 and will feature deluxe editions of "Wish You Were Here," "The Wall" and "Dark Side of the Moon." Videos, remastered sound, deluxe liner notes and unreleased songs are planned. The final track lists have not been finalized yet, but [...]
Depois de lançar "What The Hell" contra sua vontade, a ex-adolescente-rebelde Avril Lavigne parece lançar seu menos divertido e animado disco, o Goodbye Lullaby , repleto de canções acústicas e pessoais. E mais uma vez, a briga com a gravadora continua. A cantora quer como segundo single a baladinha meia boca "Push", que soa como um lançamento qualquer da Taylor Swift, enquanto o esperto selo insiste em lançar "Wish You Were Here", escrita pelo hit-maker Max Martin. E não há como negar. "Wish You Were Here" é mais uma bela música para Avril que parece ter [...]
For the curious, this is an excellent place to start in getting to know the music of Syd Barrett.

A few weeks ago, Boston MC Benny Blanco brought his homeboy J the S a flyer for a sketchy wrestling match in Long Island the next day. On the bill was 55-year-old pugilist legend Jake “The Snake” Roberts, who still fights, and on whom Mickey Rourke’s tragic protagonist in The Wrestler was largely modeled. J the S — who until recently was known to hip-hop fans as Jake the Snake — knew what had to be done. The next morning he rolled east on the Long Island Expressway. [...]
Any day now I'm dropping a list of 25 hip-hop acts (with links and pics) that I expect will kick tremendous ass at the South by SouthWest (SXSW) music festival in Austin next week. That may sound like overkill, but there will literally be thousands of rappers down there, so I'm just trying to help point people in the right direction. For those who can't make it down there, Trees and I will be reporting from the front lines. Before that, though, I'll help you get acquainted with some of the artists on my [...]

How do you follow up one of the biggest selling albums of all time? That’s the situation Pink Floyd found themselves in after the unexpected, “overnight” success of Dark Side of the Moon . Although they’d notched a couple of British top 20 singles off their 1967 Syd Barrett created psychedelic debut, Pink Floyd toiled in and out of obscurity over on American shores. That all ended instantly in 1973 with the release of Dark Side , which entered the charts [...]
