Recommended Show: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2012 THE POLYPHONIC SPREE @ WEBSTER HALL 125 E 11th St New York, NY 10009 $20, 7PM Excellent. Due to their enormous size as a band, The Polyphonic Spree are forced to play larger venues (just to fit everyone on stage), so Webster Hall may actually be considered "small" for them.

Our heads are spinning already … and two weeks of this to come: ► Madchester favorites James, with a deluxe boxed set “The Gathering Sound” (all 11 of their studio albums on USB stick, 3CDs, a DVD, vinyl and more — whew) on the way, play a pre-Coachella show at the El Rey Theatre. Elizaveta opens. [...]

When knuckling down to the finer intricacies of classroom-based botany, there was always an endless intrigue located within the way in which evergreens would retain their spindly fingers and seasonally perfumed pines for periods of time that, at such an age, seemed just so endless. San Fran duo Seventeen Evergreen tinge such concept with finite restriction and although few artists ever muster such profuse discography (the compulsive pulses of Daniel Johnston, R. Stevie Moore, etc. aside) the wide-eyed, raging synth maelstroms of follow-up full-length Steady On, Scientist! never quite substantiate the claims of radical enterprise contained inside typically hyperbolic press ...

Joseph Arthur is a talented singer-songwriter with a fairly dedicated fanbase, yet he stood out like a sore thumb on this bill.  With the possible exception of Brett Caswell and the Marquee Rose, who went on right before Arthur, he really had nothing in common with the rest of the acts on the bill.  Case [...]

Between his visual art and music, Joseph Arthur has always been a proverbial fountain of creative energy. His albums — since the release of his 1997 debut, Big City Secrets, on Peter Gabriel’s Real World label — have flowed steadily at a rate of at least one every couple of years, dotted by a handful Read more...

Après un album somptueux, "The Graduation Ceremony" paru l'an dernier, et quelques titres chantés pour POPnews, Joseph Arthur revient et nous offre... un double-album. Un disque entièrement réalisé seul... mais pas un disque au rabais, à la croisée des chemins de la pop et du rock et d'une soul sophistiquée.

It’s no secret that FOX has a habit of canceling its best shows (to this day I still want to have a serious talking to with whoever decided Arrested Development had run its course). And after a recent Lie to Me obsession this summer, I was devastated to find there was no Season 4 to continue my marathon. So consider this playlist Part 1 of a final lament to yet another show that ended before its time. Lie to Me is a drama centered around Dr. Cal Lightman (Tim Roth – you know you already love him from either Pulp ...

Joseph Arthur’s music has never been more relevant than it is now. You might say the single, “Travel As Equals”, off the resplendent 24-song double-disc “Redemption City”, is the clarion call for the new record. It would be presumptuous of me to try to completely nail down this song’s meaning or message, stripping it of [...]
