Fantasia returned to where it all started on the season finale of “American Idol.” The Season 3 champ turned heads in a sequined gown with flowing hair as she posed with her daughter Zion on the red carpet. She joined eliminated finalist Joshua Ledet, nicknamed “Mantasia,” on a duet of Elton John’s “Take Me to [...]

Sono bravo a iniziare, ma non a finire. Parlo di serie tv, meglio specificare. Ne inizio un sacco, cerco di non perdermi un pilot, però quelle che proseguo regolarmente sono un numero molto più limato. Non sono tantissime quelle cui riesco a concedere la mia attenzione per un’intera stagione e sono ancora meno quelle che riesco a vedere fino al termine. Che a volte arriva solo dopo molti, moltissimi anni. Il problema sarà mio, avrò un ADHD (sindrome da deficit d’attenzione e iperattività)? Oppure il problema sono le serie tv, molte serie tv almeno, che partono magari bene ...

Back in March I posted an artist profile on Rae Cassidy , a young singer-songwriter from Milwaukee who makes incredibly beautiful music; there's really no other way to describe it.  The main source of the beauty in her music is her angelic voice, but every other aspect is beautiful too.  The instrumentation she uses is gorgeously composed to convey the feeling of each song while still being very unique or even experimental, and her poetic, almost fairy-tale-like lyrics are wonderfully romantic.  You'll notice in those first three sentences I used the words "beautiful," "gorgeous," "angelic," "fairy-tale," and "romantic."  You ...

“Even The Blind” is a swirling effects-pedal fantasia from the young British band Echo Lake, and its video builds on that effect, layering up lo-fi images of the band members at work. Natalia Stuyk and Alex Oliver direct. Watch it and download the song below. Echo Lake – “Even The Blind” Echo Lake’s album Wild [...]

Pulse Emitter Aeons [Aguirre; 2012] by Matthew Phillips Rating: Perhaps sci-fi soundtracks are to blame for our associations between analog synthesizers and alien landscapes. Or perhaps it’s the otherness of the sonics, an aura of weirdness that acoustic instruments and their electrified counterparts are missing. Or perhaps it’s us, too. Maybe it’s our own escapist desire to reach beyond this mundane world, with synthesis and its infinite textures acting as spirit guide to those distant zones. Such wonderlands exist far from the world we inhabit, rolling in a cosmic miasma of form and color visibly separate from ...

The dancing fountains of light and chords laid by workshop elves are on overtime from Lone’s ‘Emerald Fantasy Tracks’ and ‘Echolocations’. Matt Cutler dreamily waving a baton at space cabaret and alien chintz (‘Dream Girl/Sky Surfer’), is the carrying over of an education listening to ‘Pacific State’ on infinite repeat, showing both the lustrous aesthetics but also that Lone’s no couch potato. Machinedrum waltzes in and hands over extra energy, before Cutler changes the definition of dreamscape and starts raving with the hardcore scoundrel ‘Crystal Caverns 1991’. The maker and breaker of neon daisy chains, ‘Galaxy Garden ...

Jack White Blunderbuss [Third Man; 2012] by Ed Comentale Rating: Okay, I think I get it now. Jack White is not the “seventh son” or even the “third man,” but the “last man.” You know, the man who remains after all the wars have ended, and the class struggle has ended, and your band’s broken up, and your wife’s gone, and the money’s worthless, and there’s nothing left to do but hole up in your studio and make some noise. ( See here. ) Typically, the last man is a little doughy and kinda cracked. He has a ...

HMTM-For those readers who might not be familiar with Slander can you share how the band came about. Steve Slater (original Singer) and Andy Saxon-Lamb had known each other for a while and had been discussing starting a band during 1989. They already had Andy ‘Greg’ Gregson (original guitarist) on board and they started auditioning people in early 1990. They received a phone call from Robin Duke (Entertainments correspondent @ the Blackpool Evening Gazette) stating that a band had dropped out of the local Rock Battle and could they fill their slot the day after. Robin basically asked if ‘Meanstreak’ could ...

PM Dawn : Fantasia's Confidential Ghetto [Purchase] I bought a brand new sealed cassette copy of Jesus Wept from a small record store I was driving by in Montrose, Colorado. Had it not been $4, and had I not a hundred miles to go before I got home,  I probably would have passed on it and missed out on what I still consider to be 1995's best album.    Prince Be was still the heavyweight spiritual love guru that wrote the 1992 #1 hit "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" and he and his brother still sampled like mad. The single ...

L’hanno chiamato semplicemente 2, ma hanno messo tutta la fantasia che manca nel titolo nei brani che lo compongono. I Guano Padano hanno sfornato, un mesetto fa, un disco davvero notevole, che segna un passo avanti rispetto al pur notevole esordio che i ragazzi portarono dal vivo nei nostri studi qualche anno fa. Sono tanti [...]
