Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova represent everything that the hot & honest parts of me love the most about music. As The Swell Season , they are completely humble and engaging, they passionately perform their craft with every ounce of their souls, and they sound damn lovely the way ...

A friend of a friend from Berkeley came up with a most excellent and hilarious holiday game, to while away the hours you spend with your extended family this holiday season.

I first listened to this song because The National told me to; New York City artist Doveman (aka Thomas Bartlett) is their longtime friend and collaborator , and here The National return the favor by essentially becoming his backing band on a gorgeous album , which they released on their ...

I’ve been sitting on my hands since the beginning of the month to revel with you in this bonus track from Julian Casablancas’/a> new solo album. Now that turkey day comes tomorrow, and after we are all thankful, the Christmas season officially begins — I feel ready to take ...

The Big Pink was absolutely astounding on Monday night at the Larimer. The show was loud, loud, very loud, all smoke machines and strobes. The original duo of the band is fleshed out on this tour by an immensely enjoyable female drummer (badass Akiko Matsuura) and bassist Leopold Ross in a ...

Tonight I am going to be arguably cooler than I usually am on most Monday nights, and go listen to the dramatic and addictive sounds of The Big Pink at Denver’s Larimer Lounge. This duo from London (touring now with a rad female drummer) won NME’s influential Philip Hall ...

Lately I’ve been hung up on a Patty Griffin song. She’s a songwriter whose waters I have wandered into deeply with a few specific songs, but I know she has so much more out there than what I have experienced. My first introduction to this Maine musician was her song “Top ...

Through the silent ambush of heavy snow Friday, three great shows were happening about town, and one that I missed while I was seeing Fanfarlo was Old Canes at the Hi-Dive. Signed to Saddle Creek Records, Old Canes are the project of Appleseed Cast frontman Chris Crisci. I’ve just ...

May of 1995 was the end of my sophomore year of high school, and while I studied for Mr. Pimentel’s science final or Señora Navarro’s Spanish class, somewhere not too far up the highway Jeff Buckley was tuning up his acoustic guitar for a solo midday set on the college campus ...

There was a time in 2005 when Spring was just in full bloom, and things were starting to shift around on the seismic levels of my life. I found myself headed up to the shiny lights of Seattle, where the forest creeps right down to the edge of the endless waters that surprise you at every ...

This song was love at first listen, sauntering out of my speakers with a cocky dip-shake-dip move of the hips and that unbridled scream of exuberance. Fyfe Dangerfield is the lead singer of The Guillemots , and this is off his forthcoming solo album Fly Yellow Moon , due January 2010. ...

The independent music documentary “ D Tour ” (Dialysis Tour) is about Rogue Wave drummer Pat Spurgeon’s struggle with a failing kidney, a search for a donor, while still trying to still pursue the music that is so vital to his existence. I watched it one warm evening ...

[The Features: "Thursday" from Lake Fever Sessions ]
THIS is precisely why I am looking forward to seeing The Features tonight at the Bluebird. Their set at Monolith was one of the absolute best of the entire weekend – just electrifying.

We need to talk about Fanfarlo . Seriously .
Despite listening to this album almost nonstop for the last few months, you and I haven’t yet delved into the full-scale conversation that their debut album Reservoir so clearly deserves. One of my favorite releases of 2009, this ...

This is one of the most exquisitely penetrating, earnest songs I’ve heard in a really long time.

Some feel-good Friday music, anyone? Speaking recently of cool things at Fingerprints reminded me of the time this summer when this clip made me smile — “El Scorcho” recorded live in Long Beach, CA on 11/25/08, a crowd singalong of an exceedingly fabulous variety:

Bottle rockets and smoke bombs lying dead on the sidewalk

After I peeled off the rainbows and scrubbed the last traces of red lipstick off the morning after Halloween, I set out to find the Borders bookstore in the farthest reaches of Denver suburbia I’ve yet had the disoriented pleasure of venturing to. Irish songbird Lisa Hannigan was ...
