CoCoRosie gets Daytrottered
Shuffle on over to Daytrotter to download some fabulous recordings of CoCoRosie. Their refreshing tune to listen to first is the mis-titled track “R.I.P. Burnface” which is really the beautiful “Lemonade.” Often times CoCoRosie gets slammed as a worse version of Bjork. I don’t usually care for Björk, so the argument doesn’t stick. I would...
Lykke Li Trumps on Live Street Performances
It’s not often that an artist can jingle a chain necklace against the floor and somehow turn it into a tune, yet that is exactly what Lykke Li does. Whether she is jamming with Bon Iver in a park or getting her groove on in the back of a cab, she never disappoints. She manages...

Going GaGa for Nada? Meet The Knife.
I find the Lady Gaga mania that is gripping our nation to be quite odd. Fans act like she is the most innovative performer since Ziggy Stardust. Well I take that back. It’s a bad comparison, because I doubt the majority of her fans actually know who Ziggy Stardust is (although she claims David Bowie...

Andrew Bird expands your music vocabulary
I’ve noticed that the great Andrew Bird is great at pulling out words I rarely hear, often aesthetic exuberant sounding words. Sometimes I wonder if he is more focused at the pleasantry of auditory pronouncements or if these words are chosen because of the song’s communicative value. Noble Beast is an intellectual treat of dictionary...
Sparse Discovery: Owen, Carl Broemel.
Owen and Carl Broemel. These guys go well together, and they are both haven’t seen much fame compared to other things they’ve been involved in. I don’t think there is any known relationship between the two, but they would make a great split album together. And they’d do a fine job of making a smooth...
2008 Top 5 Albums
I was going to do a Top 10 list, but I honestly don’t listen to that many albums to narrow down from a single year. Chances are I’ll discover numerous albums from 2008, but until then I’ll point out some that I ended up listening to . Bon Iver – For Emma, Forever Ago Busting...
Mixtape: Too Much December
December was busy. Plenty going on, plenty to listen to, plenty of plenty. I didn’t capture much to mixtape this month, and it didn’t help that a good portion of the stuff I collected have no documentation other than rarer recordings or the are just too unestablished to have a music video or performance. I...

I’ve found the latest and best online tools to get you right to your goal. Instead of previewing 30 second samples or scrounging through...
Mixtape: You’re Nothing Like All The Other Novembers
November was a jam-packed month. And December is surpassing the busyness. Well all is good here. This month by chance got invaded by upbeat songs from more recent times. Not much early blues and older-than-oldies that I sometimes get hung up on. Versus – “Eskimo” Think of the coolest musical catches and a spurt of...
