What matters is the music and on new album The Old [...]The Mad Mackerel9 February 2012

Roots Manuva - Live At The Roundhouse, Londo ..Are you for real? Even if he doesn’t “give a damn about UK rap” (as he claims in ‘Colossal Insight’), a consequence of his success and longevity means that Rodney Smith’s music is checked for realness. Each new album is held up to the light for the watermark connecting his roots to his sound. It was appropriate, then, that Manuva subverted identity – his and ours – at the Roundhouse. He walked on stage in a bowler hat, a St. George’s flag bowtie, and a hooded Victorian cape. These absurd but natty British signifiers set the tone for the ...Clash Music8 February 2012

HT Interview: Jenny Scheinman’s Mischief & M ..Those of us who live in the New York area are lucky for many reasons, musical and non, and one is our proximity to the great Jenny Scheinman , who over the past decade and a half has become one of the most exciting nonpareils in both jazz and roots, seemingly just as comfortable in a storm of heady improv as she is playing country songs with some of that genre’s best. Violin’s her instrument, and she can also sing, but the easy description of Scheinman – and all of the styles of music she inhabits so impressively — pretty much ...Hidden Track8 February 2012

Watch: 9 Minute Preview & 3 Clips Of Chris P ..Picking a Valentine's Day movie is always a tricky thing: do you pander to marketing and go with something love-themed, or do you just pick something you both want to see? The correct answer is always "find somewhere playing 'Casablanca,' " but in lieu of that, the studios have lined up a wealth of options -- Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams in "The Vow" for the more romantically-minded, or Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds in action mode in "Safe House," both of which open this Friday, just in time for Valentine's Day. But 20th Century Fox are hoping to land ...:: The Playlist ::7 February 2012
