tUnE-yArDs - "Real Live Flesh"
I found this studio recorded clip posted on Pitchfork. It's the best evidence answering the above headline. With the help from a sexy bass line, Merrill Garbus builds vocal loops and rhythms before your very eyes in the wonderfully shot video (care of ...

More news from the Monolith front. In short:

Oh noes! Monolith Festival organizers just released the following news regarding their impending demise unless a wealthy patron comes in to save the fledgling operation.
MONOLITH Fans,
[T]he festival is very grim. A tough economic year and an opening day of chilling rain combined to ...

The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Going To Hell
Today marks 31 years since the infamous tragedy of the Peoples Temple cult in Guyana. This American cult, led by Jim Jones became internationally known following the mass suicide of nearly one thousand people on November 18, 1978. The tragedy ...

For what its worth, I'm firmly placed in the camp of believers calling Dirty Projectors' Bitte Orca as one of the best albums of the year. There is a magical cohesion from track to track that elevates the album's song collection into something more special as a ...

New Flaming Lips video for Embryonic' s "Watching the Planets" is out and its a feast of T & A & D. Find the video at NME and then hide to a private corner. There is really no easy way to explain to an innocent passerby why you're watching a crowd of people being born from a furry, ball-shaped, ...

One of my favorite LCD Soundsystem lyrics is the snarled bit about borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered 80s from the classic "Losing My Edge". James Murphy's ability to communicate his sage observations through simple language is one of the lesser discussed talents.
Those lyrics swirled ...

As I mentioned previously , Prof. Klein is a bit of a stickler about getting these Numerology pieces right beyond a shadow of a doubt. Instead of chalking early attempts up to the blogging learning curve like the rest of us, he stays awake at night, shaking with regret that low hanging ...

Four albums in, and there’s no easy move for Times New Viking to make. Mopping up the murk of their previous three releases for a crisper, more mature sound might actually be the most ordinary, clichéd path available. “Noiseniks go symphonic pop!” is a story that’s been told at least since ...

Warren G & Nate Dogg - "Regulators" - 1994
Hey New York, this could be your Friday night ! Can an artist survive for 15 years on a hit single? I guess the answer lies in how profitable shows are at this venue. I don't live in New York anymore, how big is the Music Hall of ...

Beth Ditto of the Gossip is a force to be reckoned with. Even without possession of a headline luring, outsized personality, Ms. Ditto's robust voice would likely be enough to attract. While in Denver for a weekday stop at the Bluebird last month, Ditto's ...

Many of my free hours this weekend were spent glued to the simulcast of Phish's Halloween festival, uninspiringly titled "Festival 8". The festival is the Vermont band's eighth large scale, outdoor, multi-day, camping event. Phish fans recall previous incarnations ...
