Peaches brings Cream to U.S.
I see cream in your future, and the best part? You won’t feel bloated when it’s over. In support of her upcoming studio album, I Feel Cream, Merrill Nisker, aka Peaches, has unveiled dates for an extensive North American tour. Following a few dates overseas, Peaches will hit the U.S. beginning in late May and [...]
Album Review: The Appleseed Cast – Sagarmatha
Sagarmatha is the Nepalese word for Everest. It’s also the name of the national park where the mountain sits surrounded by the other giants of that range. Now what this says about The Appleseed Cast’s hubris is anyone’s guess, but my mine is that it’s a prelude of sorts for what you are about to [...]
Yusuf Islam keeps the music going, readies new album
Yusuf Islam sure looks to be making up for lost time. Just weeks after he unveiled a series of singles in support of Gaza, the musician formerly known as Cat Stevens has announced plans for a brand new studio album, his second full-length release in the last three years. Entitled Roadsinger (To Warm You Through [...]
Coachella ’09 adds Chemical Brothers, Etienne de Crécy, and more…
Update: Guess we spoke too soon. You can also add Plump DJs and Busy P to this year’s lineup… Well, that didn’t take too long. Just hours after Amy Winehouse canceled her scheduled appearance at this year’s Coachella Music Festival, the folks behind the Indio based event have announced five new additions to this year’s [...]
Late Night Lobotomy (Week of 3/9)
Jimmy Fallon’s first week as a talk show host is done and I’d say he did OK. Not great by any means, but not a failure either. More important was his killer debut lineup–if he can keep that up, he’ll fare well. This week isn’t nearly as strong, but overall nobody’s lineup is. In fact, [...]
Album Review: Ladyfinger (ne) – Dusk
When I first listened to Ladyfinger (ne)’s Dusk all the way through, I disliked it. Now, I always give a record a second chance because some need time to grow on you properly. Still, some are rotten regardless of the time that passes. It’s hard to tell. Dusk is doing the former and is growing [...]
Amy Winehouse plots comeback…just not at Coachella
Amy Winehouse is set to make her live comeback in the coming weeks, only it’s not when and where most of us were expecting. According to a report on NME.com, the British singer/songwriter will join Keane, Paul Weller, The Fratellis, and Cat Stevens among others to play “Island Life,” a series of shows at London’s [...]
Listen: Marissa Nadler
Marissa Nadler‘s voice fills a room in an instant, its gossamer texture billowing like exhaled smoke or sails catching wind. The effect can be literally chilling, as it was on Wednesday night at Joe’s Pub in New York. Nadler played an hour and a half-long set of soothing melodies, among them songs from her latest [...]
Watch: Yeah Yeah Yeahs – “Zero”
The first thing that comes to mind upon viewing the video for “Zero”, the first single off Yeah Yeah Yeahs‘ upcoming album, It’s Blitz!: Since when did Alanis Morissette join the band? After all, in the video, frontlady Karen O. explores city life in the same nonchalant manner as Morrison did back in “Thank You”, [...]
Full Metal Texas ’09: Kylesa joins lineup, more free swag!
Remember when we announced Full Metal Texas last week, we said more was to come? Well, today, the more is here! In support of its upcoming record Static Tensions (March 17th via Prosthetic Records) Kylesia will join Skeletonwitch, Memphis May Fire, Greeley Estates, FACT, Night Horse, and the Black Math Horseman at Austin’s Emo’s Annex [...]
