Complete with a chugging acoustic, far off strings, and an easy recorded style, you'd almost expect We Are Trees singer James Nee to drop the first few bars of "Dear Chan Marshall" in Portuguese. The song has that sort of vaguely bossa, distant notion of Brazil feel to it. Yes, there's also a Grizzly Bear-like quality here too. It does sort of sound like those Grizzly blokes. Though, We Are Trees, at least on this tune, come off as more immediate, more visceral. Whereas the Bear guys operate in some sort folk song Thermosphere, Nee and the Trees evoke feelings [...]

Il fatto è che come ben immaginerete, la tv italiana è un caso a sè stante o quasi dal panorama internazionale. La cosa deprimente è che non è "sempre stato così" no, almeno in questo caso. E basterebbe riguardare lo splendido post di Stereogram di qualche mese fa su cosa trasmetteva la tv pubblica (e non) in Italia e che ruolo centrale avesse la musica. Come basta ricordare DOC (di Renzo Arbore), Segnali di Fumo, gli unplugged di Videomusic (tra cui l' In quiete dei CSI) o Larsen. In parecchi talk show americani (da Leno, [...]
Ok, to start off, I have two corrections to make. First, in the post " Atlanta Album Preview: Nomen Novum " I had listed what I believed to be a possible tracklisting to Nomen Novum 's upcoming debut album, November , but I in fact gave you the possible tracklist Nomen Novum 's second album comprised of songs they are performing live already. The tracklist for November looks like this: intro / new coke permanent makeup I collect things/pow-pow little witches don't look up my face her body [...]

הו קאט פאוור. קולך קטיפתי , שיערך מבריק ורך ותנועותיך חלקלקות כמו צלופח חשמלי. אם הייתי אדם סנדלר, הייתי ממלמלת "הווו, שון מארשל" משל הייתה ורוניקה ווהן ב'בילי מדיסון'. אבל אם הייתי אדם סנדלר הייתי גם רודפת אחרי פינגווין ענק עם עגלת גולף. איזו דרך מעולה להתחיל את 2008 עם אלבום חדש (שמיני במספר) של קאט פאוור באוזניים. לכל מי שתוהה למה אני קוראת לה שון מארשל ולא שאן, או צ'אן, קבלו את המילה של גיא חג'ג' על כך. הוא נשבע שקוראים לה שון. ואם הוא נשבע אז אני מאמינה. לאלבום החדש קוראים Jukebox וחוץ משיר אחד [...]
Hello readers. I was asked to write something about the music I like for this blog, and I thought that to try and make it a bit more interesting than just somebody you've probably never heard of rattling on about how awesome their taste is, I would pick ten songs I really like from my computer and write about them for exactly the length of each song while the song is playing. This does mean that shorter songs will have less written about them than long ones, but that shouldn't really matter. It's an experiment and God loves [...]

Album #15: The Greatest by Cat Power Released on my birthday early this year, The Greatest has managed to keep me listening for 12 months. Much has been made recently of Chan Marshall's recent battles with alcoholism and stage fright but I know very little about her and I've never seen her live. For me, Chan Marshall is simply a gorgeous voice. And it doesn't hurt that this record sees her surrounded my legendary Memphis musicians as her backing [...]
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Quoth Sasha Frere-Jones : How many people have turned around their performing game like this, a full 180? To those who bet on Chan earlyâ€"good look.
