Although January may nearly be over and spring is (kinda) on the horizon, there’s plenty of the year left to discover some great Welsh talent. Here are my 10 of the best Welsh artists for you to be keeping your beady little eyes and ears on over the next 11 months. Ifan Dafydd - Putting on an Ifan Dafydd track without any prior information, you would be forgiven for thinking it was a new James Blake number. With plenty of layers, heavily processed vocals and fading organ sounds, there is no denying that there are similarities. However, when have similarities ...

While there have been numerous shows on TV about dysfunctional families, rarely have their been shows about crazy families which featured great soundtracks. One of these oddities is NBC’s Parenthood . Based upon the 1980′s Steve Martin movie of the same title, Parenthood is a peek into the lives of the very extended Braverman family. The Bravermans are an involved, in each others lives type of family, centered around four grown-up siblings Adam (played by Peter Krause), Sarah (played by Lauren Graham), Crosby (played by Dax Shepard), and Julie (played by Erika Christensen). All of them are all trying ...

Unfortunately, what was supposed to be HBO’s Entourage replacement only lasted two seasons. The dropping of the axe on How To Make It In America didn’t come as a surprise to most, as the TV program was mainly famous for starring Kid Cudi. But while the show, which followed two friends (Ben Epstein and Cam Calderon) trying to succeed in New York’s competitive fashion scene, was far from perfect, its soundtrack was quite impressive. Today’s playlist comprises dance, hip hop, electronic, and indie rock – our way of bidding adieu to the short-lived How to Make It ...

Two ladies of Oregonian and South African descents respectively, two acoustic guitars, one Berlin-based label , and one day upon which two toe-warming records are outed. Hardly The Twelve Days of Christmas, although that aforementioned day has finally dawned as the latest efforts from Laura Gibson  and Dear Reader have eventually emerged like newborns wriggling free from cocoon-like blanket, bathed in daylight for the very first time. Indeed both La Grande and Idealistic Animals add some vivacious flicker to the slow-roasting embers of the New Year as Gibson and Cheri MacNeil masterfully entangle tales both cautionary and cutesy with staccato twangs ...

100. Daniel Maloso - "Hijos de José" Monterrey DJ and self-proclaimed disco caveman Daniel Maloso stands on the ephemeral viaduct between a disco performer and a disco auteur. It’s this stance of Maloso as a sort of middleman that makes him such an interesting (if circumstantial) character in dance music. Because, really, with all the artists moving away from the all-comprehensive and universal magnetism of the genre, when Daniel Maloso sighs that “we are all sons of José,” we’re back to family business all over again. - Reyes 99. Lê Almeida - “Eles estão na minha rua” ♫♫♫ Brazili's youth-rushed Lê ...

DOWNLOAD : Canon Logic - "Don't Know What You've Got (Til Its Gone)" I've got a backlog of postings and CD reviews to finish and yet I spent too much time this evening trying to Photoshop Tim Kiely's head onto a mid-80's photo of Tom Keifer. The Canon Logic have the lead-off track on the new Engine Room Recordings' Guilt By Association compilation. The theme of Vol. 3 is 80's hair metal and The Canon Logic deliver a rocking power-pop cover of Cinderella's hair-ballad "Don't Know What You've Got (Til Its Gone)". Below ...

It’s a new project of Grant Olsen’s, who is best known as one half of the Seattle band, Yu">Arthur & Yu.

In case you’re wondering, Jade solo is the same Jade you think you know, just as smiley and happy from two feet away as in every photo of her in Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros on a festival stage you’ve ever seen. As she tuned and tried to adjust to the crappy sound system by leaving her elevated stool and sitting cross-legged on the low stage, even her eyes smiled, and her eyebrows too. And if I’d had a magnifying glass, I would suspect that her dimples are smile-shaped.
