Wes Anderson Mines Hank Williams Catalog for ..As a longtime fan of musical moments in Wes Anderson movies (Nico’s version of “These Days” and Elliott Smith’s “Needle in the Hay” for The Royal Tenenbaums, the Stones and Cat Stevens in Rushmore, etc.), the soundtrack to his latest film, Moonrise Kingdom, is of particular interest around here. Most notable, perhaps, is its heavy Hank Williams [...]TwentyFourBit17 May 2012

R.I.P. Jim McCrary, A&M Staff Photographer W ..Above, his portrait for Carole King’s Tapestry . Full story at Billboard : As a self-taught staff photographer for A&M; Records, McCrary shot more than 300 album covers and countless promotional images for artists ranging from Cat Stevens, The Carpenters, Phil Ochs, Joe Cocker, Captain & Tenille and B.B. King. Perhaps his most famous cover was for King’s landmark 1971 album, “Tapestry,” which features the singer lounging on a window sill with her cat. By the late 1970s, McCrary was photographing a wider range of younger artists, including ones he was not overly familiar with. One of those was Michael ...The Daily Swarm9 May 2012

From The Cedar Box: Arborea(photo credit: Cat Stevens) From The Cedar Box Arborea Written by Marissa Nadler Arborea, featuring the gorgeous ethereal vocals and banjo stylings of Shanti Curran and the experimental guitar work of husband Buck Curran, have been making beautiful music for over a decade. They live in Maine with their two small children but that doesn't hold them back, as they tour quite frequently both stateside and overseas. They homeschool their children, make their own videos, and are DIY every step of the way. Lately, they have been finally garnering the recognition they deserve, with their newest record, Red Planet ...We Listen For You2 May 2012

Interview Friday: Ben BurgessThis week I had the opportunity to interview BEN BURGESS. So here's how it went down: 1. Can you give my readers a brief introduction to how you got started? Started as soon as my Pops put a guitar in my hands. It was love at first sight. He taught me that it’s all about the words..everybody can play chords but not everybody has something to say. 2. When did you first start writing music? 4th grade..I started learning nirvana songs and started putting my own words and melodies to them. I’m pretty sure they ...Baxojayz28 April 2012

Brian’s Mixtape: RainGood afternoon, friends, Naturally owls know better than to get caught in the rain, so I am fluffed up by the fire with a hot buttered rum. Since you’re probably about to brave the outside with one of those horrific umbrella things that don’t even keep the water off your middles, I thought I’d be kindly and provide the perfect soundtrack to a wet afternoon. Yours cosily, Brian Rainy days on Spotify.

Pepe Deluxe Interview & New Single'Go Supersonic' is a real belter of a track, and makes its home in an equally out-there and wonderfully conceptual record, heavily inspired by Atlantean culture, Venus, sci-fi futurism and reincarnation written of in the mystical 19th Century novel ‘A Dweller On Two Planets’. Even more spectacularly Jari and Paul donate all the profits from the sales of the album to the John Nurminen Foundation to be used in the Clean Baltic Sea project. The aim of the project is to protect and achieve a visible improvement in the condition of the Baltic Sea, one of the most endangered and ...The 40514 April 2012

DeLorean: Vashti Bunyan - "I'd Like to Walk ..1967: Vashti Bunyan - "I'd Like to Walk Around in Your Mind" by Mike Wojciechowski on 04-12-2012 Vashti Bunyan was one of many figures revived by the freak-folk movement. She eluded fame in the late 60s. She was friends with Donovan; members of Fairport Convention and Incredible String Band supported her and played on her record. Robert Kirby, the string arranger for Nick Drake, helped on her first record as well. Still, she had little success and decided to walk away from a career in music. Fortunately, her first record Just Another Diamond Day gained a cult following – not only ...Tiny Mix Tapes12 April 2012

Under The Influence // Power AnimalThe great thing about our 'Under The Influence' series is that we get to pick the brains of the artists that we love in an attempt to find out what influences their music. Sometimes the connection between the artist and the music they list in this feature is a little less obvious than you'd expect, but that's the beauty of music, at least when you talk about artists that aren't afraid to experiment with their sound. The latter definitely applies to Power Animal , the 'North East Philly' band led by Keith Hampson. They list 'pajama party hat ...The 40530 March 2012

The Heavy Guilt – It’s TimeThe Heavy Guilt isn’t an easily categorized band. Their songs range from folk to rock to dream pop and beyond, often combining many sounds and styles in a way that makes them hard to describe.

The CMW Diaries: Day Three ft. Bear Hands + ..Day three of Canadian Music Week got off to a reasonably slow start as we enjoyed one of the few sleep-ins of our trip, ahead of our usual slog of interviews and meetings. As we ran from one place to the next, however, I did manage to catch a couple of bands... albeit briefly. First up were Ontario's own Sandman Viper Command (pictured below) at the CBC music social lounge, a four piece performing their garage pop via a short and sweet acoustic set... made all the more lo-fi by having the drummer propping a single drum on a ...The AU Review24 March 2012
