Iron & Wine goes intimate
Turns out Iron & Wine‘s upcoming engagement with Flight of the Conchords won’t mark the debut of Sam Beam, the comedian. Rather, the tour date will be just one of many upcoming stops that Sam Bean, the musician, will be using to support Around the Well, a 2-CD/3-LP collection of rare tracks ranging from out-of-print [...]
Consequence of Sound presents: Listen!
Consequence of Sound is proud to announce its first annual South by Southwest showcase. Entitled simply as Listen!, this year’s event is designed to highlight six of music’s most talented up-and-comers in one night, under one roof. Spanning multiple genres and demographics, the bill will reflect the diverse tastes seen on CoS on a daily [...]
Sirius XM survives to see another day
Thanks to some generous folks over at Liberty Media, your Sirius XM receiver will remain functional, at least for near future. The American media conglomerate, best known as the owner of DirecTV, has agreed to loan the satellite radio service $530 million in attempt to save the company from avoiding bankruptcy. Per The Washington Post: [...]
Album Review: Dan Auerbach – Keep It Hid
Some lead singers need a break from a band to try something new (Gwen Stefani, anyone?), some singers take a break to do pretty much the same thing (Albert Hammond Jr., for starters). On that scale, Dan Auerbach, the lead singing half of the Black Keys, would rate somewhere in the middle on his new [...]
Bob Dylan could have a new album out by April?
Leave it to Renee Zellweger and Forest Whitaker to get Bob Dylan back in the studio. What’s that, you say? Yes, believe it or not, the legendary singer/songwriter recently entered the studio to begin work on a brand new studio album, all because of a couple high-profile movie stars. According to Isis, a Bob Dylan [...]
Album Review: Loren Connors & Jim O’Rourke – Two Nice Catholic Boys
It’s surprising that Two Nice Catholic Boys is only the second official recording from Loren Mazzacane Connors and Jim O’Rourke. The two are heroes in the experimental/improvisational scene. And, even if you think you don’t know them, I can guarantee you’ve heard something that one of the two have worked on. This album might not [...]
Check Out: Yeah Yeah Yeahs – “Zero”
It’s Blitz!, the forthcoming LP from the NYC garage pop collective known as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, is coming soon, and what better way to up the anticipation than with a single!? When Karen O and Co. announced that a new album was in the works back in November, they promised a stylistic change in [...]
What break? Foo Fighters plan next album
Correct me if I’m mistaken, but wasn’t it just a few months ago that Dave Grohl was telling fans not to expect a new Foo Fighters album anytime soon saying, “We’ve never really taken a long break, I think it’s time”? Yeah, so much for that. In a recent interview with NME, drummer Taylor Hawkins [...]
Dream Theater plans new album, Progressive Nation tour
The past couple of years has seen progressive metallurgists Dream Theater engage in an oddball of activities; in 2008, the New York rockers followed the release of their first album on label Roadrunner Records and ninth overall, Systematic Chaos, with a greatest hits album and the launch of the Progressive Nation tour. Still feeling the [...]
Leonard Cohen will support Live in London live in NYC & Indio
2008 was a pretty good year for Leonard Cohen, especially from a financial standpoint: the legendary singer/songwriter sold over 700,000 tickets across 84 shows worldwide. In fact, the last 12 months were so good for Cohen that come March 31st, he will look to relive it forever thanks to release of a brand new live [...]
