Rothbury 2009: almost officially a go
With numerous bankruptcy and site issues, there’s been much speculation in recent weeks that the Rothbury Music Festival may never bd be able to offer a follow up to its inaugural edition, which brought Dave Matthews, Widespread Panic, Trey Anastasio, and more than a hundred others acts to Rothbury, Michigan last summer. However, it now [...]
Alex Somers and Jón Þór Birgisson plan album
When not hanging with their respective music outfits, Sigur Rós‘ Jón Þór Birgisson and Parachutes‘ Alex Somers have built a relationship that goes far beyond being one of music’s most high-profile openly gay couples. In fact, the duo has even formed an artistic collaboration, entitled Riceboy Sleeps, and published their eponymous debut in 2006. And [...]
Dusting ‘Em Off: John Simon – John Simon’s Album
You may not know the name John Simon, but you’ve definitely heard him. As a prolific producer in the 1960s and 70s, he helmed a string of hits for acts such as Janis Joplin, Leonard Cohen, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Simon & Garfunkel, and most notably The Band, for which he was often dubbed “the [...]
Allman Brothers Band celebrates good health with a trip to NYC
It may have taken a little longer than anticipated, but The Allman Brothers Band is finally ready to take to New York for its annual run of concerts at the Beacon Theater. The legendary outfit was forced to postpone the original dates, as well as canceled scheduled appearances at the Wanee Music Festival and Bonnaroo [...]
Dusting ‘Em Off: Jawbreaker – Bivouac
As a self-professed appreciator of alternative rock, it amazes me that so few of you have heard of the band Jawbreaker. Since lead-singer Blake Schwarzenbach decided to break up the San Francisco based outfit in 1996 (and going on to front the just-as-stellar Jets to Brazil), their gaudily sonic catalogue has gone all but overlooked. [...]
Where We Live: Cafe Annapurna – Tallahassee, FL
By a stroke of bad luck, Café Annapurna, Tallahassee’s first and only Nepalese restaurant stands at 666 W. Tennessee, nearly under the eaves of Tennessee Street’s ubiquitous 24-hour McDonald’s. But don’t let that scare you. Café Annapurna, more simply called “Annapurna” by the locals, is conveniently located across the street from Florida State’s primary all-night [...]
Watch: Lily Allen’s NYE performance
We may still be a couple months away from the release of Lily Allen‘s much-awaited sophomore studio album, It’s Not Me, It’s You (February 10th), but that hasn’t stopped the British pop star from getting an early start on the promotional fun. Hot off the release of a Escape The Fear – you know, that [...]
Killola takes to the road in do-it-yourself style
Life is good for one of the Internet’s most successful do-it-yourself bands. Since unleashing I Am The Messer for free online back in August, Killola has watched its sophomore album be downloaded over 30,000 times, all while the L.A. natives have hit the road in both the U.K. and U.S. Oh yeah, and they’ve some [...]
Album Review: John Zorn – The Crucible
John Zorn is a living legend…an incredibly prodigious, diligent living legend. What’s more, his greatness seems to be like a gravitational pull, drawing in more greatness from every corner of the earth. And in his eighth (yes I said eighth) release of the year, he brings the Moonchild Trio back for a fourth album of [...]
Prince set for not one, not two, but three new albums in 2009
Often times, especially over the last few months, we start off a piece with some sort of clever attempt to point out that the artist of note definitely looks to be busy in the year ahead. After all, with a new year comes new albums, new concerts, new festivals, and nearly everything else that would [...]
