Music Review: Kem - Intimacy
Appropriately titled Intimacy, R&B singer Kem's third album has a looser feel, as if eavesdropping on a jam session at a small club. This welcome approach allows Kem to further explore his jazz side and emphasize his deeply emotional lyrics. Kem first burst onto the music scene in 2002, with the ...
Concert Review: David Gray & Ray Lamontagne in Council Bluffs, IA [8/29]
A co-headlining concert such as this one deserves a co-headlining article, if I do say so myself. A show with such premier performers and of such epic proportions doesn’t need much of an introduction; let’s just say— Ray & Gray killed it.
Music Review: Indie Round-Up – Flipron, John Lee Hooker Jr., Whole Sky Monitor
Flipron, With Breath Bated & Eyelids Unblinking: A Flipron Sampler Flipron makes its US debut this fall with a brief tour and a 12-track sampler disc that backs up the hype that this is very likely the UK's most inventive band. Sharp-witted, antic, and addled, their songs are more than pop curiosities; ...

Music Review: Miles Davis - Bitches Brew Legacy Edition (2 CD/1 DVD)
So where do you start with a recording that created a genre? Bitches Brew and its legendary and iconic status has not waned one iota since the celebrated release of the set in 1970.

I Hear Sparks: Elisabeth Lohninger - Songs of Love and Destruction
Love and destruction frequently merge, tearing us apart from the inside before we’ve even noticed. That sentiment is a big part of what makes Elisabeth Lohninger’s gorgeous Songs of Love and Destruction such a profound piece of work. The record is deeply emotional, deeply significant and ...
Music Review: Miss TK & The Revenge - The Ocean Likes to Party Too
Slinky and ridiculously sexy, Miss TK & The Revenge pull a sweaty beach party out of the bag with The Ocean Likes to Party Too. The record is a blisteringly cool set of dance pop tracks blended with a little of the punk, don’t-give-a-fuck flavour. With just the perfect amount of raunch and ...
iTunes Chart Watch: Katy Perry Outsells Iron Maiden, Water Still Wet
So I was mocked and ridiculed in the comments of last week's iTCW by the legion of Iron Maiden fans who think I'm some sort of moron for not knowing that Maiden A) rulz! and B) is an undisputed sales champion. Excuse the shit out of me for thinking it might have been the vapid Katy Perry or the ...
Music Review: Jerry Lee Lewis - Killer Country
Jerry Lee Lewis is best remembered as the frenetic rocker who recorded for the Sun label during the latter half of the 1950s. Hits such as “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On,” “Breathless” and “Great Balls Of Fire” not only climbed to the upper reaches of The American ...

DVD Review: Mogwai - Burning
Mogwai is a band I know very little about. Blasphemy, right? I really don't, but I want to find out more. Honestly, I do.

Could Eden Brent Have A "Norah Jones" Moment?
My wife and I were living in our first apartment in Athens when late one night I was watching TV alone and Norah Jones' video for "Don't Know Why" came on. I didn't know who Jones was. I didn't know what that music was but I couldn't shake free of it. It reached into my chest with ...
Music Review: Xavier Rudd & Izintaba - Koonyum Sun
You can tell a lot about a person's artistic quality by the way in which they respond to a personal crisis or any period of radical change with their chosen medium.

Music Review: James Blackshaw - All Is Falling
The young 12-string guitar master James Blackshaw is back, and his latest album, All Is Falling, exhibits another tremendous leap forward for him.

Music Review: Papa Roach - Time for Annihilation...On the Record and On the Road
Papa Roach's latest album, Time for Annihilation...On the Record and On the Road, released today, is an album that brings the fiery, hard-rocking California band full circle.
