Download: Oasis - ‘(Get Off Your) High Horse Lady’ (Devendra Banhart remix)

It’s curious how Devendra Banhart went around mixing Oasis, if you consider the later is a band that’s more into dance strings, while Banhart’s music is as weird and inaccessible per he is talented. Nevertheless, Banhart was given the opportunity to remix any Oasis track of his choosing from the 2008 LP “Dig Out Your [...]

Elvis Costello plays new song for Newsweek and bashes Steve Jobs for making iPods

The constantly energetic Elvis Costello will be expanding his respectable catalog next week with yet another album, titled “The Secret, The Profane, and the Sugarcane.” Recently he paid a visit to Newsweek’s Pop Vox music session, where he played his latest single “Sulphur to Sugarcane,” a moving southern anthem. That’s not all though, besides playing [...]

Karmadillo @  The Bakers, Cambridge (27/03/09)

This was a slightly different affair to the usual Karmadillo gig that fans from their hometown are used to; comedic front man Rishi had promised a complete set of brand new songs on the run up to this and as a result The Baker’s was rammed with people wanting to be the first to hear [...]

Hot Streaming: Leonard Cohen live in London’s O2, July 17th

Without a doubt, Leonard Cohen is one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. A true legend. And although for the past decade or so, he’s been leaving in somewhat seclusion, his fans haven’t and won’t ever forget his soothing baritone voice. Last year, Cohen performed on stage once again, after a more than [...]

Bob Dylan returns with surprise ‘Modern Times’ follow-up

This just came in, so I’m as surprised as everybody else about it. Seems like Bob Dylan is yet again widening his extensive discography with a new full length album, the follow-up to his previous, very well received 2006 “Modern Times.” Since then a somewhat revivalist cult movement has sprung out around him, with Bob [...]

New Anthony and the Johnson video: ‘Aeon’ (live @ David Letterman)

“The Crying Light“, the latest LP signed Anthony and The Johnsons, is a beautiful 10 track set, that lifts you up and transcends the mind to distant, carefree lands. It’s truly a magical experience. Aeon is quite possibly the most impressive song off The Crying Light, a song that Anthony and co. performed recently at the [...]

New Marissa Nadler video: ‘River of Dirt’

One bus, one road and a bulk of totally varied individuals. All bummed up for a trip across life and time. This is how, in a few words, Marissa Nadler’s latest video for “River of Dirt” could be briefly summarized. That would totally be an understatement, though, since when Marissa Nadler’s dream folk voice collides [...]

Fleet Foxes @ Saturday Night Live (2 songs)

I know I’m a few days late with this, but I barely now remembered to post about it. I saw Fleet Foxes‘ live performance, when they played this past weekend at the Saturday Night Live show, and was pleasantly surprised how well they behaved themselves. Nice to see again bands that can play live just [...]
