Album of the Day is a new venture here at Given and Taken in Ink, in which we feature an album that's worth mentioning despite not being the newest batch of tunes on the street. We didn't go too far back for this first installment, with the #14 pick in GTI's Best Albums of 2012 post. Still, Blunderbuss has been in heavy rotation in my car lately, and since today is the one-year anniversary of its release, it seemed as good a time as any to talk about it. I'm plagiarizing myself, but I'm also [...]

As usual, I'm going to sum up the year with a non-definitive playlist of some of my favourite songs from 2012. These are roughly in chronological order according to when I first fell in love with them. Hmm, I certainly listened to a lot of guitar music, didn't I? I contributed to year-end retrospectives from the Georgia Straight , Exclaim! , BeatRoute and The Tyee , so follow those links for more formal lists and explanations. [...]

My best musical moments of 2012 was a long awaited one which took place on November 5th, Guy Fawkes Night, in the further darkest regions of North London. While the fireworks outside created a spectacle of noise and light over the skyline of London another racket of sound pollution was taking place inside the walls of Alexander Palace. Unknowingly at the time this night was about to become not only one of the best gigs of 2012 but possibly of my life. Two of my favourite artists The Kills and Jack White would be together under one roof on the [...]

2012 was a surprisingly good year for music. Although no albums particularly struck me as a far and away Best Album as The Suburbs and MBDTF have in the past, the industry was deep with a bevy of solid albums. Every year around this time writers call for the death of Rock music, I'd like to point out a few great albums. Join me, won't you? If you haven't checked out the other Nosebleeders favorite albums check out Part I , II , III , IV . [...]

Lo único que le falta a Jack White para ser uno de los mejores artistas multi-instrumentistas de la historia, es... absolutamente nada. La verdad actualmente es muy complejo encontrar un multifacético tan talentoso como él, lo podemos ver colaborando con Alicia Keys para el soundtrack de 007, tocando con Alison Mosshart en The Dead Weather, haciendo [...]

Depois de conquistar uma legião de fãs com o White Stripes e se envolver em mais outras trocentas bandas, projetos e parcerias igualmente incríveis, o workaholic Jack White lançou esse ano o seu primeiro disco solo, Blunderbuss . No disco, Jack White explora boa parte das referências de seus trabalhos anteriores, utilizadas minunciosamente no decorrer de suas faixas. Nem precisa dizer que ele acertou a mão mais uma vez, certo? Agora a melhor parte: a Sony Music liberou 5 cópias do Blunderbuss pra [...]

El debut como solista de un artista ultraconsagrado tras la disolución de la banda que le hizo famoso es, por definición, un asunto traumático. Traumático para el artista, puesto ante la letal disyuntiva ‘fórmula comprobada vs. nuevos rumbos’, traumático para la audiencia, siempre ansiosa, sedienta y nunca bien preparada para un salto al vacío. Traumático para, oh cielos, la casa discográfica, que sabe mejor que nadie como los números generalmente se desploman cuando un artista decide liberarse de su pasado. Pareciera, de pronto, que toda exitosa carrera cimentada en la cómoda colectividad de una banda, no [...]

CHARLI XCX ( Doug Fir , 830 E Burnside) Portland welcomes up-and-coming UK goth pop songstress/badass Charli XCX. Her songs are infectious with heavy bass and sassy lyrics whose topics range from love to lust to ass-kicking. A less-Top-40, more-intense version of the Spice Girls, one could say. Good to know girl power lives on! LEX [...]

Wat me opvalt aan de nieuwe single, Freedom at 21 , van Jack White , is dat de gitaarriff die hij speelt, wel heel sterk gelijkt op die welke hij zelf al speelde in Seven nation army , toen nog met The White Stripes . Luister en beoordeel zelf maar: Freedom at 21 - Jack White [...]
