Music Music Review: The Streets - Computers and Blues
Mike Skinner's final record as The Streets is Computers and Blues. It's very nearly a resignation letter, soaked in heavy irony and philosophy. An Interview with Singer-Songwriter Thomas Starks
Thomas Starks, a singer-songwriter based in Seattle, displays both an impressive work ethic and an elevated sense of social consciousness. His self-released independent albums, the most recent being 2009's Burn the Attic, are full of emotionally direct songs spanning a wide range of personal experiences ... Music Review: Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Has he finally gotten his act together? Well, Kanye West’s adoring fans insist that he is back on track and in familiar territory with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Listeners may see the all too familiar odd form of West, thanks to the support of some of his buddies. Music Review: Britney Spears- Hold It Against Me
Britney launches her seventh studio album with a euro-dance slammer “Hold It Against Me” which is more reminiscent of the absolutely brilliant dance pop of Blackout than the safer generic sound of Circus. Classically Inclined
Despite the fact that I'm listening to Rage Against The Machine as I write this, I'm noticing the music I listen to on a daily basis is now skewing towards things of a definite non "rage"ing variety. Sure, I still listen to the odd metal album or two, but more often than not, I'm plugging in and listening ... Music Review: Guggenheim Grotto - The Universe Is Laughing
I remember the first time I heard the Guggenheim Grotto (a Dublin-based duo) at the Hotel Café in Los Angeles, CA. I was new to the indie/alt scene, yet this was music that was a bit of a twist from those two genres and had a distinctly different presentation. Dubbing ... Other People's Music
Welcome back, my friends, to the show that – while may be delayed a week here and there – certainly never ends. Thanks for checking back in. Welcome. And if you’re here from the Seattle Post Intelligencer, big thanks to you for coming out, too. The Evolution of a Band
Like everything else, human beings feel the need to categorise music. Unfortunately, this is restricting bands from exploring and exploiting their talent for fearing of losing fans; having problems with the recording labels; and most important of all, losing money and their jobs. The generic public ... Music Review: Various Artists - Disney Jazz Volume 1: Everybody Wants To Be A Cat
The relationship between the Disney film studios and that of the music world has been a long and rewarding one. Walt Disney himself was a big jazz buff, which may be one of the reasons jazz-bos have been interpreting Disney songs for decades now. Some of the more notable names are Bunny Berigan, Artie ... Music Review: Lee MacDougall - If Walls Could Talk
When the Beatles came to the United States in 1964 to perform on The Ed Sullivan Show in New York, could anybody have predicted the wave of British acts going viral in America? The British Invasion brought us artists as diverse as the Kinks, the Rolling Stones, and Dusty Springfield. Now, fast forward ... Music Review: Mayday Parade - Valdosta EP
The new EP Valdosta finds Mayday Parade in acoustic mode. Clocking in at twenty-three minutes, the six-track release opens and closes with brand new songs, “Amber Lynn” and “Terrible Things.” Sandwiched in between are four re-recordings of earlier Mayday Parade songs, including ... Music Review: Adele - 21
After listening to Adele’s latest album 21, my first instinct was to stand up and give the album a standing ovation. I don’t think I’ve ever had an album resonate so deeply with me after a first listen. Adele had quite the hit song on her hands with "Chasing Pavements." The song was ...
