Initiated in '06, Suffolk's Latitude has quietly; calmly; calculatedly become the worthiest of estival mainstays and anyone to have happened upon any ad luridly imploring attendance at next month's seventh edition will already be fully aware of the almost unfathomable strength of this year's bill. In fact we'd go on to spin some further hyperbole yarn-like and profess it to be the line up of the season. Taking place, as ever, in Southwold's supremely picturesque Henham Park the festival spans July 12th-15th by which time some sunshine may have just about seared through the unremitting grim currently overhead.

At long bleedin' last Yeasayer hath returned. With physicals of this one, Henrietta, shipped out to the band's mailing list a short while ago all of a less eager and/or engaged disposition may now indulge via the below stream (ta, We All Want Someone To Shout For ). It's immediately seemingly pretty evident that the genre-bounders have been listening extensively to fellow New Yorkers Battles' Gloss Drop / Dross Glop (either/ or) although it's a wholly effervescent fizz of hyper, cyber-balladry irregardless and a quite wondrous [...]
I thanked the music god when Bear In Heaven’s new album “I Love You, It’s Cool” finally came out. The band had posted a stream of the album playing 400,000% slower than normal and it was so tedious. I understand their intentions for doing so, but doing something as gimmicky as that isn’t going to stop illegal downloads. So what does this album have apart from a silly stream, lush art design, and a boring music video? The short answer is; lots of tribal drumming. I’ve been excited for this album to drop for a long [...]

With the 4th of July already here, its scares me to say 2010 is half way done. It seems like it was just yesterday that I was desperately waiting to hear Contra. That feels like so long ago now. Just goes to show you just how much music is out there now. These are the 50 songs I’ve been giving warm love to all year. My hope is that you will find a few new songs that you will treasure. Or maybe you will re-consider a song that you passed over before. Either way, this is my list [...]
A Lull is the result of Nigel Evan Dennis, Todd Miller and Mike Brown hashing out music ideas in basements, bedrooms and practice spaces all around Chicago over the past two years. Believing that everything has a place in a recording, A Lull include sounds of percussive instruments against a wall, churning cans full or garbage and beer bottles with a broom stick, hitting drums with microphones, recording unplugged electric guitars with extremely sensitive microphones, everything DIY. After more than 50 songs were written, the band began the live show near the end of 2008. [...]
Pitchfork released a list of a bunch of albums that are set to come out in 2010 (view them all below the break). Here are a few of those that we are looking forward to...

Let me tell you a story. In 2007 some notable things happened. I attended the annual music festival SXSW (the image above is of myself and The Lovely Sparrows' Shawn Jones, taken by Abandoned Love Records/Virgin Of The Birds' Jon Rooney), I grew a mustache, and I met a beautiful girl named Andi. She was waiting for her uncle (Eno of Spoon) at the Capitol Hill Block Party. We hit it off and ditched the after-party to get a sprite (her) and coffee (me) at Denny's in Ballard (sadly no longer there) at 1:30am. I [...]
Coming up this Memorial Day weekend is the 2009 Sasquatch! Music Festival , held at The Gorge up in Washington. I've got a few friends heading up for the event but I won't be able to make it there first-hand, yet again. I opted to save myself for Phish a bit, but for the folks that are heading up to the festival this weekend, you're in for a serious entertainment treat. With some top-tier music acts headlining the festival, some amazing smaller-stage stuff like Battles and Rogue Wave, and a set of comedians bound to make [...]
A l'aide de ce fantastique outils qu'est l'audioscrobbler et le site Last Fm , ( voir mes charts) j'ai pu jeter un oeil aux titres les plus écoutés sur l'ordinateur ces 12 derniers mois. La plupart des places étaient squattées par le tryptique Hot Chip / Fuck Buttons / Tv On The Radio, je les ai donc mis de coté (pour une fois!). Plutôt qu'un fastidieux top chansons (qui semble plus futile encore qu'un top album), voici en vrac certains titres qui ont marqué l'année 2008, une petite selection de titre aléatoires qui, our la plupart, [...]
So New York Press has posted their top 20 list of bands currently playing in NYC. Here is what they had to say: Behold, the NYPress’ definitive list of the 20 best bands currently playing. You can disagree, but you’d be wrong. There are thousands of bands in NYC, and new acts are forming or moving here every day. But there are only so many that are worth your (or our) precious time. Behold, the NYPress’ definitive list of the 20 best bands currently playing. [...]
This past weekend, Consequence of Sound traveled to Chicago, Illinois for the 2008 edition of Lollapalooza . With the task of covering a festival with nearly 70,000 daily attendees, 100+ musicians, and all the fun that comes with the Perry Farrell founded event, we left Sunday night with a lifetime of memories. During each of Lollapalooza's three days, we blogged the latest updates with tidbits ranging from The Weakerthan's unexpected cancellation to Perry's surprise guest. Once arriving back to the weekend's official headquarters, aka Michael Roffman's living room, and finding some food, we spent the [...]
So after all the talk and the hoo-hah and the scumbags and the line-up announcements and the pictures of burning tents and the hating and the rain and the mud and more talk and hoo-hah, Oxegen has rolled around again, boasting what is probably the best line-up of all European festivals. Those of you who have been there before and have been to any other festival other than it too can attest that as far as things-to-do is concerned Oxegen is severely lacking but nobody can argue with the quality line-up showcasing some of the best that music is offering [...]

Ah, time flies.Year 2007 almost comes to a close, once again I list my favourite tracks of the year. I made a list of ten tracks last year, 2007 has rewarded us so many stellar moments in music that ten is defininitely not enough to sum up what I have been listening for the past 12 months. Looking back, there was a mix of incredible comebacks that regain my love and newly discovered gems that capture right off my ears. Suprisingly on this list, only one artist has appeared on my previous year end list, and a handful of the [...]
Here it is, the final 10. If you missed the first two parts go here and then here . I've spent a decent amount of time agonizing over this list, but I'm somewhat happy with how it has turned out. Sometimes I feel as if giving something like music a ranking is really stupid, mainly because it's going to vary from person to person. So here's my top 10. 10. Yeasayer All Hour Cymbals [...]
