Global Post has assembled an article and some interviews documenting the aftermath of the shocking arrests and "reeducation" of punks in Aceh, Indonesia in mid-December . Of particular concern is that Aceh's ulama - a council of Muslim scholar - would like to establish a holy law or quanun banning the "punk-rock lifestyle." 23-year old Jarot Susant shared his experience with the journalists: As we were arrested, I got beat up. We couldn't fight back. We just let ourselves go. I just wanted it to stop. It's a permanent heartbreak. The feature also includes some comments from the "Muslim scholars ...

Stars and Topsoil , Cocteau Twins’ collection of the best of their 4AD years, is belatedly issued on vinyl this week. The first pressing is on heavy-weight, white vinyl. Over a career at 4AD that spanned six albums and seven EPs, Cocteau Twins retained an intriguing uniqueness of style that defied comparison.  Elizabeth Fraser (vocals), Robin Guthrie (guitars) and Simon Raymonde (bass guitar) were always fiercely protective of their privacy, preferring to let the music speak for itself; it spoke volumes and continues to do so. Following their ascent from alternative novices to universally acclaimed artists, Stars and Topsoil is a ...

Woody Guthrie wasn’t the only prolific songwriter to leave behind a treasure trove of half-written material and a host of notable artists inspired to honor his legacy by completing the work: Jeffrey Lee Pierce, founding member of influential Los Angeles punk group the Gun Club, is set to have two more volumes of works-in-progress posthumously [...]

The album is a homage to Woody Guthrie and will feature interpretations of unrecorded Guthrie lyrics.

A dream team of Americana stars including Jay Farrar (Son Volt), Will Johnson (Centro-matic), Anders Parker (Varnaline), and Yim Yames (My Morning Jacket) have gathered to reinterpret unrecorded lyrics from Woody Guthrie. Preview a track here! New Multitudes: A Tribute to Woody Guthrie, to be released on Feb. 28 by Rounder, actually sprung from a trip to the Guthrie archives [...]

This is a mature sounding EP from Chapterhouse considering this was one of their first releases. The lead track Something More was not produced by The Cocteau Twins' Robin Guthrie he did the softer version on Whirlpool. This is the heavy original that is as good as anything by Ride. Rumbling breakbeat drumming, dub bass line, with both droning and jangly guitars with angelic vocals on top of everything Satin Safe, six minutes of noise that would be associated with Loop rather than Chapterhouse, saturated in feedback. Rain is a Beatles cover, if you think of the fab four on ...

In Opening Track, we take an early look at a forthcoming record that we’re excited about. Today, we check in with an Americana supergroup made up of Jay Farrar , Centro-Matic's Will Johnson, Varnaline's Anders Parkers, and My Morning Jacket's Jim James (billed as Yim Yames), who team up for the  Woody Guthrie-inspired New Multitudes, which comes out Feb. 28. Why we're excited: The talent involved involved in New Multitudes speaks for itself. The concept is also intriguing (and well-tested): Woody Guthrie's daughter Nora opened up her father's archives of previously unrecorded lyrics, and ...

Folklorist Alan Lomax spent his life making priceless recordings of some of the most important early figures in American music — from his famed recordings of Huddie “Leadbelly” Ledbetter to Jelly Roll Morton, from Muddy Waters to Woody Guthrie. Now, that entire collection — some 17,000 tracks — is being digitized for online streaming. Lomax often spoke of creating a [...]

It’s safe to say that without the tireless efforts of  Alan Lomax , the world may never have been introduced to the likes of Woody Guthrie, Muddy Waters, Leadbelly or countless other musicians the folklorist and ethnomusicologist recorded on dusty back roads, barns or just about anywhere else he could set up his recording gear. Lomax spent his entire career making field recordings of folk and traditional music, both in the U.S. and abroad, amassing a collection of 5,000 hours of sound recordings, 400,000 feet of film, 3,000 videotapes, 5,000 photographs and piles of manuscripts ...

As Jay-Z gets set to perform a pair of benefit shows next week at Carnegie Hall, and tastemakers like Diplo routinely seek out plainspoken music from impoverished areas both rural and urban, it might be tough to remember there was ever a divide between so-called high and low culture. In the mid-1930s, however, when folklorist Alan Lomax started making field recordings across the South, hillbilly music and African-American blues were considered, well, déclassé. The music in Lomax's vaults helped pave the way for everyone from Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones to Spinal Tap, and soon it will all ...

When ethnomusicologist and folklorist Alan Lomax died in 2002, he left behind a gigantic library of research materials—in other words, a treasure trove of crystallized musical Americana. Now, a decade later, the masses will be granted access to Lomax’s inventory: A collection of his field recordings are being digitized, and some 17,000 of them will be available for free streaming online by the end of this month. Among the 17,000 selections are early recordings by Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, and Muddy Waters. Other parts of his vast archive—namely, 5,000 hours of music, 5,000 photographs ...
