Simon & Garfunkel "Hazy Shade of Winter" Written by Paul Simon, "Hazy Shade of Winter" was recorded and released as a single in 1966, but then later included on the 1968 album Bookends [...]

The southern California trio are bringing that West Coast style back to the masses. I'm pretty new to Pac Div and been recently getting more into their music. I saw a lot of posts on their latest mixtape, which dropped only a few weeks ago. If you haven't downloaded that mixtape called Mania , then go grab that here . To follow up on their new mixtape and buzz, Pac Div dropped a video a few days ago for the track "Anti-Freeze," one of the many [...]

Depois do aclamado álbum de 2008 com o nome Fleet Foxes , e de dois singles em 2009, este quinteto de Seattle prepara-se para lançar um novo álbum, em Maio deste ano, com o nome Helplessness Blues . Longe das sonoridades históricas da sua cidade de origem, os Fleet Foxes marcaram a cena musical com o seu estilo Baroque Pop , wm que as vozes através dos seus coros harmónicos e ricos ocupam um lugar de destaque nas composições. Esta característica é evidente no seu álbum de estreia e no EP do mesmo ano [...]

The bearded wonders have also made the title track available for free download from their official web site . The five minutes of 'Helplessness Blues' takes off where the likes of 'Winter Hymnal' left off: it begins as an intimate acoustic reverie before harmonies [...]

The best band of 2008 are gearing up to make the best album of 2011 but until we get that how about a Christmas present? 'White Winter Hymnal' and 'Mykonos' get some remix treatment from band member Casey Wescott. But not any normal remix treatment. You have probably heard a [Read more]

Portishead - Third (Island Records) Muscular synthesizers, drum breaks and abrupt endings keeping the tension high.

Can't believe it's already been a decade. I'm trying to think about the person I used 2 be back in 1999. I wonder how familiar I am with that bro, or how much I respect him. Theoretically, I have grown up and become a more 'cultured' person with a developed+refined taste in all aspects of life, including my favourite music. Piecing together 'The Best Albums/Artists/Songs/Bands of the Decade' seems tricky, like some sort of existential reflection of urself. I feel like most websites that focus on music create 'best of year/decade' [...]

Ormai siamo arrivati quasi alla fine di questo viaggio alla scoperta dei migliori album di questo decennio . Questa settimana rimaniamo nel 2008 (dopo avervi parlato di " Third " dei Portishead ) con i Fleet Foxes . A ben vedere bisogna dire che il 2008 è stato un'anno pieno zeppo di debutti memorabili, qualche nome? Have a Nice Life, Vampire Weekend , MGMT , Glasvegas e Foals (solo per citare i maggiori), ma forse è stato quello dei Fleet Foxes quello che più merita di essere trattato all'interno [...]

While recovering from the gnarliest flu I've had in about 10 years, a buddy sent me a text telling me to check out this tune. It may have been the fever induced hallucinations, or the absurd amount of medication coursing through my veins, but something set me off and I instantly fell in love with this number. White Winter Hymnal comes from the five-piece Seattle based indie/baroque-pop band Fleet Foxes . The song was released as the first single in support of the band's 2008 self-titled debut album. The album was one of the most highly [...]

Wanna know something? The lineup for the sophomore edition of All Points West - unveiled mere hours ago - is pretty darn good, all things considering. Set to unfurl over the last weekend of July, the three-day "East Coast Coachella" boasts headlining slots from Beastie Boys, Tool, Coldplay, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, My Bloody Valentine, and Echo & the Bunnymen (among heaps of others). And if that's not enough, festival producers are apparently promising that this year's iteration will be free of many of the snags - insufficient mass transit, loooooong beer lines and limits, no food - that [...]

Well, there's really nothing like a freak March snowstorm is there? I think I've got about 73 in my yard (that's what she said?) and I'll be enjoying a cozy Monday from the home office today. At least the dogs are excited about the change in weather.

I just came across this video for Fleet Foxes awesome track, White Winter Hymnal. They use a wonderful claymation style to get the visuals across. I never tire of this technique .

Para empezar tal vez debería aclarar que esta lista es total y absolutamente subjetiva. Y lo digo porque yo realmente me guío más por escuchar un par de canciones y a partir de ahí decidir si le doy una oportunidad al disco que por las opiniones de la gente, amigos y medios especializados. Dicho lo anterior, aquí les pongo mis 10 discos favoritos del 2008, sin un orden definido. Estaré esperando sus comentarios y desacuerdos (que ya sé que van a existir). 1. R.E.M. - Accelerate [...]
