Love lost, scorn gained. Peace to OHaiyoooooh.

Justin Vernon has discussed the possibility of new Bon Iver material - admitting that it could take a while to arrive. Bon Iver continue to evolve. The band's second album dropped last year, and saw Justin Vernon moving beyond his lone-artist-in-the-woods persona. Recently overseeing the new album from Kathleen Edwards, Justin Vernon is continuing to branch out. Chatting with USA Today recently, the songwriter revealed that he has begun to sketch out the new Bon Iver album - although it could take a while to arrive. "I don't have any songs written yet" he admitted. "I'm guessing three years ...

Neo-folk has always been a bit of a curiosity: contradictory at times and, from a purely objective point of view, you would guess that by now anyone foolish enough to wander back in to that ramshackle boathouse would find that the (combustion engine-fearing) ship had sailed. But, there is evidently a perception of a demographic with an unquenchable thirst for a technophobic troubadour, and here he is. Christopher Paul Stelling, just a man, with a...

Should writers really be grateful to their editors? Maybe the best work happens when critics are given something to kick against What is the proper relationship between a rock critic and an editor? If you had asked, say, Lester Bangs or Nick Kent in their respective acerbic primes, they would have probably replied that your editor is the person you ignore, lie to and terrorise in the hope of browbeating them into allowing you to write exactly what you want, at a length – and to a deadline – of your own specification. Last week's concluding instance of Laura Barton's ...

THE PUBLIC HAS SPOKEN! Okay, it was a very, very small percentage of the public, but still... they want some Blog-achella and who am I to deny them? Of course, my statement of how I was so very likely to actually go to Coachella this year was shot down in approximately four hours (the time it took both weekends to sell out, holy shitballs), but as they say in my business, THE SHOW MUST GO ON! (You know, actually I've been in "show business" for almost COUGH years now and I've never actually heard anyone say that. Myth ...

If there's one thing that you can say about Christopher Paul Stelling it would be that he definitely does not use any type of studio effects in order to alter his music or make it sound better than it normally would. How can I be so sure, well it's pretty simple. His acoustic performances of all his songs are equally as good if not better than their album counterparts. So far it's been all acoustic guitars, stomping feet and soothing vocals as can be further witnessed in this live performance of "Solar Flares", a track that will ...

Rising New York City songwriter Christopher Paul Stelling is releasing his long-awaited debut album, Songs of Praise & Scorn on February 21st. He recently gave away the first single from the album, “Mourning Train To Memphis,” as a free download via his bandcamp page...

Cry us a river, folks. More than five years after sweetly crooning a marriage proposal on FutureSex/LoveSounds hit "My Love," Justin Timberlake has finally gone and popped the question for real. The former 'NSync star proposed to actress Jessica Biel late last month in Jackson, Wyoming, according to US Weekly . "Justin knows how much she loves snowboarding and the mountains, so it was the perfect place," an "insider" told the magazine. Timberlake has focused more on acting than music in recent years, including a particularly memorable turn as Napster co-founder Sean Parker in David Fincher's Oscar-winning The Social ...

nun habe ich es mir doch angetan. dabei hatte ich mir fest vorgenommen, heuer dieser arbeit aus dem wege zu gehen. doch was solls. mir selbst bringt die übersicht einiges, wenigstens als kleiner orientierungsfaden. ich beanspruche keine vollständigkeit noch richtigkeit der daten und angaben. nicht zuletzt fehlen die vielen spannenden releases kleiner companies. das würde den rahmen sprengen. bereits jetzt gibt es hinweis auf über 130 veröffentlichungen mit fast 60 soundbeispielen. ergänzungen (in den kommentaren) nehmen wir gern entgegen, gegen eine aktualisierung sträuben wir uns aber. 01.01. guided by voices - let's go eat the factory ( fire ) guided by ...

Without negative comments, Swan Fungus would not exist. I keep saying it but apparently it never registers: the opinions expressed on this website are intended to elicit hatred and scorn from its audience. Maybe that’s immature, but oh well. I like to bait people and send them into a seething rage. And the Internet makes [...]

Julia Holter and I go way back. We first crossed paths in the early days of high school, seated across from each other in Ms. Klein’s A-level English class, where we bonded over our mutual love of Greek tragedy (we also worked together to create a very thorough PowerPoint presentation on The Good Earth , garnering praise from Ms. Klein and scorn from our less-driven classmates). I’ll never forget the look in Julia’s eye after the final bell of our Senior year, when we both knew our friendship might soon fade away from prolonged distance (she was headed ...

By far the best thing about having a site to post and talk about music is the fact that you get introduced to so much new music that you might not have otherwise come across. Case and point is this absolutely spine tingling jam by Christopher Paul Stelling that thankfully found its way into my inbox earlier today. Now I realize that there's a good chance we will all be hearing a lot more from Mr. Stelling in the very near future, but right now I'm pretty happy that I'm listening to "Mourning Train To Memphis" over ...

I adore The Lovely Eggs from the bottom of my black heart, though if you were to ask me what they were singing about I would have to blank you. Politely, of course, with my best attempt at charm, but you'd still notice. Sorry. I think Don't Look At Me (I Don't Like It) might be all about people who appear on Scorn TV and get mocked - him with his wheelchair heart, her with her washing line smile. They amuse us because we are sophisticated enough to feel superior to them. Desperate, ridiculous people who are only ...
