Patrick Wolf turns Battle into The Bachelor
It hard to be confident about any investment these days. Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Mick Jagger all can probably tell you that. But it looks like more than a few folks had enough confidence to invest in the return of the one and only Patrick Wolf. How do we know? The English singer/songwriter is [...]
WTF Alert! Glastonbury afraid of Swine Flu?
Last I checked, the whole swine flu craze has kind of died down. So it came a bit of surprise that one of the world’s biggest festivals is actually considering canceling its 2009 edition if things get worse. Per The Guardian: Glastonbury festival organisers have revealed that the recent outbreak of swine flu may result [...]
Maxïmo Park eyes fall tour
This time next week, Maxïmo Park‘s latest LP, Quicken The Heart, will be out for all the world to here. This time four months from now, the British outfit will hit North America to support the album. Better late than never, right? Following with an appearance at this year’s Bumbershoot Music Festival, Maxïmo Park will [...]
Leonard Cohen returns to Chicago (5/5)
Leonard Cohen had been pretty high on my “must see” list; at 74, the Quebec born singer/songwriter/poet/novelist/artist hadn’t stopped in Chicago for 15 years, and at seven I couldn’t really afford the ticket. And having to wait another 15 years, when Cohen’d be 89, doesn’t sound like a particularly good plan. Luckily, I didn’t have [...]
Matisyahu readies a summer of Light
Despite a number of delays, Matisyahu is still planning to release Light, the followup to 2006′s Youth, sometime before the year is over – presumably as soon as this summer. After all, the Jewish rapper has to have something to support during his extensive summer tour, right? In addition to a stint on this summer’s [...]
Virgin plans five Canadian festivals, details first one
Any doubt that Virgin Mobile wouldn’t be returning to Canada this summer for a series of summer music festivals was put to rest today. After drawing over 150,000 attendees with festivals in Toronto and Calgary last year, organizer have announced plans for five, count ‘em five, events this summer. In addition to Calgary and Toronto, [...]
Stream: Dark Night Of The Soul
Yes, Virginia, there is a Dark Night Of The Soul. Today, those crypic posters were accompanied by music, more specficially the 13 guest-heavy tracks that will likely make up Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse’s super collaboration. Head over Chrysalis Music to hear for yourself – the music is located on a box.net player on the left-hand [...]
Spoon vs. The Shins: The Battle of the Indies!
Two of our favorite bands, Spoon and The Shins, both have a lot to look forward to in the coming months, as evident by their recent interviews with Billboard and Pitchfork respectively. We took their comments, broke them up, and pinned them against each other for no other reason than to create an epic battle [...]
Noah and the Whale makes its return to New York (5/1)
The last time Noah and the Whale hit New York, it was a performance worth forgetting. But because we really dug the band’s debut LP, Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down, we figured we’d give the English rockers another shot and sent our own Rose Martelli to check them out last weekend. The small but [...]
What’s the deal with Woodstock?
40 years this August will mark the 40th anniversary of the now iconic Woodstock Music Festival, and as one would come to expect based on latter incarnations of Woodstock, a few people are planning to take advantage of the occasion. In March, news surfaced that Michael Lang, one of the creators behind the original Woodstock, [...]
