Singing a catchy melody, Jamie Lindsay showcases his tour-de-force talent by steering away from the traditional production-heavy releases of today and allowing his vocals to be at the forefront in this new single, “Simple Life.” Expertly inter-playing Jamie’s vocal prowess along with a capella harmony, this little gem will have you singing along. Jamie’s big …
So you think Biden has the African American vote. That’s cool. Maybe he’ll do a concert with a major African American act like 98 Degrees. I saw Rage and Ozomatli rocking out in protest at the Democratic Convention in the year 2000. Bernie is sharing the stage with Chuck f☆cking D and Public Enemy. This …

This is a powerful break up song, loaded with frenzy, mania, sadness and a modicum of hope. It’s quite lovely. Playing With Vipers is a one man band from France, which is VERY cool…
Very cool stuff here. Cloudchord embodies the lofi chillhop side of things, with an occasional, joyful, energetic detour. Neo Soul guitars and ’70s yacht rock flutes disintegrate into funky bass slaps, psychedelic vocal chops, and anime ear candy. Always unpredictable. Taken By The Sky by Cloudchord
There’s no better band out there right now than Kills Birds and they’re going to be at Doug Fir on 3/6. Photo credit: @cowboycrush “The debut album from Kills Birds is a furious, fuzzy bombshell…The album’s rumbling, squealing opening track is the perfect soundtrack to 100 beers spilling on the floor of a dark rock club.” …
The latest from Cautionary Tail Records is a visceral, exotic and wholly original work from Katie Burden: View this post on Instagram #desertdaze #jennyleelindberg #joshuatree A post shared by Katie Burden (@katieburdenmusic) on Oct 29, 2016 at 6:32pm PDT
As a decades-long fan of both sex and honesty, this is naturally one of my Depeche Mode favorites. “Stripped” is of course not about sex, but about the intimacy that on the best of nights sex can be, ironically, a gateway to. Nose-to-nose on a couch, intertwined in bed… sharing dreams, fears… truths. On the …
Every great once in a while I get fan mail. Or, a nice note about something, really. I sent this little bit from EPB as a response to such a note. I am not a great writer; though I will nowadays admit that I’m a good, completely self-taught bit of a hack. I never finished …
This is still tripping out. The Beatles played Ed Sullivan Feb 9th, 1964. Bernie’s now famous photo of him resisting arrest in Chicago at a civil rights demonstration was August 1963. This dude has literally been on the same message since before Dylan first got The Beatles stoned, which August 28th 1964. For any of …
Bernie Sanders is so old he can remember hearing FDR’s Fireside Chats. He’s so old Hitler was hunting his down people when he could talk…and walk. He’s so old he’s outlived the idealism of the Boomer generation, and he’s too old to be a Boomer. And he is still fighting. He is not having senior …
Born to a prominent Jewish family in Washington Heights, New York, Taali grew up learning the values of community. After years of vocal cord issues, which culminated in a surgery and Taali unable to sing herself, she leaned harder into writing for others including Mad Decent hip-hop innovator Jarina De Marco, gospel performer Mali Music, and José James, whom she later co-founded independent record …
Leeds-based Indie/Alternative phenomenon Melancholy Ray have released, “15 Years”, a song which takes a look at two life altering events from front-man Callum’s recent past. (Callum has only one name, like Cher and Bono.) The first of which was a relationship that Callum was involved in, which although complicated was also something that meant a …
On President’s Day February 17 I ventured down to Tacoma, WA with two others to see and hear Senator Bernie Sanders speak. As I approached the Dome, I saw long lines snake around the structure approximately a mile long and often as many as three people deep. The event began with some entertainment, a couple …
Behold sleek, chic LA songstress Olivia Henry, whose impeccably tight new album, Expectations, is loaded with racy, noir-ish, power-femme, alterna-soul and has drawn comparisons to original torchlighters Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald along with late-coming girl-crush badasses Jill Scott and Amy Winehouse. View this post on Instagram #freethenipple and come see my show September 15th …
Behold Indonesian indie pop duo Stars and Rabbit who just released a whimsical new video featuring dreamlike collages of flowers, animals and aquatic life. With such a playful approach to rock n roll, the duo make the mundane miraculous as they deliver their sweet ode to taking a day off to enjoy the park. View …
Jamaican dub poet and songstress Jah9 uses clever wordplay to realize one’s own self-worth and address someone else’s lack thereof on this cautionary tale about relationships. The song, produced by Jah9, Romario “Runkus” Bennett and Iotosh Poyser, warns the listener to not let the misguided affect your own journey. “As my search takes me inward, …
Last August, my daughter began an 18-month contract to teach English in China. I decided that this was a unique travel opportunity, so after months of planning, arrangements and probably about four grand out of my wallet, I flew to Shanghai for a week to be with her over Christmas. It was an adventure of …
There’s no limit to Nadia Vaeh’s potential. She is a fantasia of cross-platform energy. She sings, she writes, she walks in beauty like the night. On her new song, “Boomerang,” above, she teaches us that not everything is black and white. On Yoyo, below, her big hit of a few months back, she does technicolor …
Behold the latest from Derrero sent to me by Dan Amor at Cae Gwyn Records. He’s in PR mode year round now. Great Band. Great song. Great Britain. And this is a great time for Welsh music. Pay attention. The NME once described the band as being “like a young lad returning home from a …
She might pass close to your route maybe once a week, a month, a year… sometime she’s so close, you can almost make out her flags; at others, she’s a flickering light in the dark distance. All you can do is keep muscle and coal on hand down in the boiler, the decks swabbed; lines …
Damn, at 2:15 AM, I feel like Donald Fagen on the cover of The Nightfly album. A Valentine’s Day postscript, this song and video from the Dark Prince. Meant to post it earlier, as it is one of the most exquisite love songs of my generation. I’ve heard him sing it on stage many times, …
Imagine how much money was invested in making people believe the New Deal wasn’t a success. Imagine how much it took to get all these Americans to believe The Civil War wasn’t about Slavery. I just knock old people out with facts like the preacher who touches parishioners and they pass out with facts they …
I love the Ocelots and now you will too! Listen hard, listen strong! It’s delicious, crisp, fresh music! View this post on Instagram Thanks for all the love on our new track guys! We continue our excursions this week with a trip down to Tassie! Catch us at @republicbarcafe @monamuseum @williesmithsappleshed and @marakoopacafe . More …
My countdown to Valentine’s Day continues with one of the most romantic songs I can think of. Paired with a brilliantly unusual video that’s somehow absolutely perfect… they have literally brought me to tears, on occasion, for over 30 years now. It. Is. So. Fucking. Great. At the band’s peak, Bono and the Edge evoked …
View this post on Instagram We're really looking forward to 2020 with new tunes and gigs wherever we can get to.. Look out for us turning up in the UK in August where we'll be at Boomtown Festival and around. Wishing you all lovely people a fantastic and happy new year! ❤ #rocknrollband #rocknroll #rockduo …
oh?no!ok. play the kind of music you’d hear blasting forth from a suburban garage in the height of the 90’s alt-rock boom. But with songs which probe entitlement, video game addiction and idolization, it’s clear we’re dealing with a wildly fresh take on slacker rock. “Candy Crush” is about a kid who becomes obsessed with …
On Sunday night February 9, I headed back to El Corazon. This time it was for a night of ska with two great bands headlining – the Toasters and Mustard Plug. Mustard Plug was the last to play, but the previous bands did such an excellent job of warming everyone up, that there was no …
