Twice a week we invite independent music writers and bloggers to tell us about what they do. Today, a site supporting 'pragmatic go-getters' Who are you and what's your blog called? My name is Damian Burke, founder of Copasetix and essentially a man with too many hobbies. Where are you based? London, but the site focuses on international sounds. Describe your blog in a sentence. Copasetix is a resource for music consumers and hungry artists alike. How long has your blog been going? Only since February, but it's a slow-burning project that's been nagging at me for ...

*Chronicles of Chronic*: Against all odds Ep is the first chapter (and sees him team up with British acoustic wiz-kid Joe Jury) which represents "My mind state as I embark on breaking through into the UK music industry from a foreigners perspective. Although I have received a lot of support from...

The Flight Facilities boys are just about done with a huge tour of the US which means that its time for another track to hit the airwaves. The new single is called ‘With You’ and against all odds features the male vocal work of Grovesnor. The Flight Facilities team don’t mess around when putting together [...]

The L.A. Kings came into the playoffs in 8th place. That means they played the number 1 team in hockey, the Vancouver Canucks. I watched every single person who comments on hockey and not one of them picked the Kings. Not one. The Kings won the 7 game series in 5 games, including 3 victories [...]

Yesterday was a bad day all around. A friend died in the morning. She had been sick a long while, but I had come to think of her as Superwoman surviving against all odds. That was the worst part of the day. Later I heard from my dog sitter that she can’t stay when I [...]

Against all odds, I've become a big fan of Mott The Hoople over the past few years. I always liked some of their songs but never bothered to explore their music in great depth because I never thought I'd really like it. I've never been a fan of Bob Dylan or the Rolling Stones and both of those artists are big parts of the Mott sound. They have an association with one of my all time least favorites, David Bowie. But for some reason I was drawn to them and started checking out their first few albums ...

The mtvU Woodie Awards were filmed in Austin during SXSW and aired last night, letting viewers see how against all odds, rappers Mac Miller and Machine Gun Kelly — two ideologically different rappers supported by similar grassroots fan armies — took home the show's major prizes. Best Coast and Calvin Harris also each racked up a win, while artists including Santigold, Steve Aoki, Gary Clark, Jr., and A$AP Rocky played live. Miller won Woodie of the Year (slaying the Black Keys, Ocean">Frank Ocean, Foster the People, and Skrillex) and the Performing Woodie (beating, incredibly, the Black Keys, Skrillex, Swedish ...

Peter Gabriel è un artista straordinario, uno dei pochi in grado di accontentarci tutti. Voce splendida, originale, con grande orecchio e grande anima e soprattutto poliedrico e in grado di rinnovarsi col tempo. Con i Genesis , o da solista, Gabriel ha sempre lavorato in maniera professionale, con gusto e al massimo delle sue capacità, raggiungendo sempre picchi elevatissimi, con rarissime eccezioni. Ovviamente, Peter Gabriel è un essere umano, e anche lui, come tutti noi, ha le sue pecche. La sua principale, a mio avviso, è quella di dimenticarsi del suo catalogo e di lasciare fuori stampa un sacco di cose ...

Against all odds, Her Honey Dripping Behind is reasonably upbeat material, applying the skilled sound design showcased on Samoyed's past releases to more floor-friendly motifs.

From Providence comes another murky, ancient beast, though Pilgrim are more Sabbtath than Lovecraft. The six songs on "Misery Wiizard" lurch and crunch with deliberate anti-groove, a grim heaviness that ought to put a fierce fear in many a doom poser. This is the real meat. Even the mythic- fantasy lyrics are at a higher level than most doom acts. While heavy and gritty like a good doom metal band, Pilgrim also dare to incorporate the operatic vocals and soaring dramatic riffs that in lesser hands would be grist for the next Christopher Guest film. So you listen to with ...

His story is so captivating that it’s been turned into a documentary. If you’ll be at SXSW 2012, you can be one of [...]
