Taylor Swift Still Isn’t Relinquishing the Charts
|
The talented Miss Swift isn’t budging from her solid perches at the top of Billboard’s country albums and songs charts, where she sits with Taylor Swift and
“Our Song,” respectively.To make life even sweeter, Swift also has this week’s highest vaulting new single, “Picture to Burn,” which bows at No. 52. The only other first-time songs [...]

Dean Owens - Whisky Hearts
|
In many ways, Dean Owens’s third solo album is very old fashioned. That isn’t meant as a criticism - musically it references huge slabs of Springsteen (especially the opener, Years Ago, one of those slyly political songs with its ripe rip of sax, and the gloriously uplifting Hallelujah) and in its more relaxed moments the [...]

Tom Baxter - Skybound
|
It’s been three years since we heard anything from Tom Baxter. His 2004 release Feather and Stone, especially its opening track My Declaration, was a Radio Two favourite, but since then, not a sausage. Now comes Skybound, an autobiographical album, which shows off his angelic, dreamy voice with an eclectic mix of sounds and styles.A [...]

The Magnetic Fields - Distortion (Nonesuch)
|
It’s four years since the last The Magnetic Fields album, i, but Stephin Merritt has hardly been idle. Yet where 69 Love Songs showed a remarkable profligacy of songwriting, and Showtunes elicited his love of Chinese music, Distortion is a conscious step back - not just looking over its shoulder, but swiveling round for a [...]

Sara Bareilles
|
As a gifted singer and a versatile pianist with no formal training, Sara Bareilles burst onto the pop scene with a naturally skilled voice ranging from powerful and
soulful to sweet and gentle, earning her instant comparisons to Fiona Apple and Norah Jones. At age 18, she left the Redwood forests of her hometown, Eureka, CA, [...]

Fogerty’s Creative Revival
|
John Fogerty’s newest, Revival, is easily his best record since Centerfield, and has some of his best material since the CCR days. Songs like Gunslinger, Creedence Song, and Long Dark Night hold their own against Creedence’s best stuff.
The album starts off with Don’t You Wish It Was True, with a beat that is similar to [...]

Mogwai
Jarvik's lo-fi alt-glam Bowie-meets-Mogwai style needs a lot of hyphens to describe, but for them, we'll allow it. Pirate Prude's got an atmospheric sound fit for a movie score, thanks in no small part to cellist Tom Kersey. New Lands bring a spaced ... Artists: Mogwai , Les Savy Fav , Echo and the Bunnymen , Sparklehorse , Yo La Tengo , Shellac , Modest Mouse , Trans Am , Subtitle , Isis , The Thermals , Why? , Subtle , Akron/Family , Battles , Daniel Johnston , Band of Horses , Grizzly Bear DiS is ... At this point in its history, Mogwai is an institution. A full 10 years after its formation, the band's name is virtually synonymous with melancholy instrumental rock music. Its live shows are famous for their aural intensity, and the band members ... If koala bears, Lindsay Lohan and Mogwai have taught us nothing else, they've taught us that sometimes potentially dangerous things come in cute, unassuming packages. Take Barbie's Dream Puppy House: The adorable pink-and-blue folding play set ... Judging by the early-Radiohead-meets-Mogwai vibe of “Travelsigns”, it’s a plan that has suited them very well. Sold out shows, tours with Stellastarr* and Clap You Hands Say Yeah, and a hotly tipped SXSW appearance have brought the band to our ... The world of indie rock has never really embraced the concept of the instrumental jam band. The few exceptions that (barely) fit into that category — Godspeed You Black Emperor!, Mogwai, Tortoise — don't really follow the genre's rules, instead ... If you're feeling nice, you can choose Gizmo, the cute and cuddly Mogwai, but for a more sinister approach you can play as Stripe the Gremlin. Both characters will search high and low for the children's presents. Five large levels taken from the ... Shows by Cat Power, Jenny Lewis and Mogwai went straight to the iPod (each as one long podcast track). Some of the concerts and features are only available for streaming, not download -- and some streams are only up for a limited time (such as shows ... Comparing Sigur R??s to bands like Godspeed you black emperor or even Mogwai would have made much more sence! I must point out that I am not a very big fan of Sigur R??s, sometimes their awkwardness even bugs me a bit, but in this case it was not ... Mike Hathorn, one of four Democratic candidates for lieutenant governor, has followed through as promised and filed a complaint with the state Ethics Commission against opponent Bill Halter (not coincidentally the best-funded candidate in the race ...
