Weiter geht’s mit meinem persönlich geprägten Jahresrückblick. Bei den Songs haben sich zwei Coverversionen an die Spitze meiner Liste der meistgehörten und damit höchstpräfertierten Lieder gesetzt – und was für welche! Beides Mal wurden 5-Sterne-Songs in extrem gelungener Weise neueingespielt. Ansonsten haben sich einige Bands gleich mit mehreren Stücken in mein Herz gespielt, z.B. Mint Julep, die ja auch mein Nr. 1-Album abgeliefert haben, oder California Wives, von denen ich mir 2012 noch viel Gutes erhoffe. 1. There Is A Light That Never Goes Out – Dum Dum Girls 2. Sensitive – Resplandor 3. Why Don't We – Mint Julep 4 ...

New York City, NY Sarabeth Tucek – I was blown away by this album when I first got it and continue to be so, play after play. “Get Well Soon” is such an incredible album that I’d rather bleed then give up my copy.

Tired of lists yet? Sadly I’m not - never have been, never will. So here’s another - highly subjective – albums-of-the-year list to throw on the December scrapheap.

Ok, yes, we did stop blogging over a year ago and we never ever do album reviews (because, really, you shouldn't care about what anybody else thinks about music.) But giving some for Victoria Noll is long overdue and actually this isn't really a "review" as much as it is an ode to the future Mother of our children so this is for the kids... Victoria Noll played our Summer Soiree show awhile back ago after our usual yearlong courting ritual. The Mobile, Alabama native was wandering around Los Angeles playing all the typical singer-songwriter joints not really ...

Wow. We have heard a lot of great records in 2011: Meg Baird, Big Troubles, The Donkeys, Emily Barker & The Red Clay Halo, Girls, The Goldberg Sisters, Jonathan Wilson, Kurt Vile, Low, Mara Carlyle, P.G.

Always a little disconcerting to find yourself frequenting the House of the Lord in order to indulge in musical delectation that barely borders on the remotely hymnal. More discomfiting still is that empty Carlsberg cans are tonight propped up against a basin of holy water beside the entrance to St. Pancras Old Church, while hymnbook holders serve as cradles for plastic cups brimming with red wine. Beyond the church's swinging glass doors  Oh Ruin , bewhiskered and bedraggled, looks a little Messianic, as if delivering an acoustic-led sermon in a possessed fit induced by some form of divine intervention. However ...

Get Well Soon is the sophomore release of Sarabeth Tucek. A beautifully sad album filled with somber melodies, swelling electric guitars and Tucek’s striking vocals that cut deep into your soul. Stunning. Oh how I needed this album tonight. I let it in and it stirred all this emotion around. I have to let go [...]
