Fans speak – Maïa Vidal “Follow Me”
We’re entranced by this emerging artist who seems poised to break through to the next level. Here’s her latest music video. Is she a wolf in sheep’s clothing? We’ll willing follow her into her den.
Fans speak – Vintage Trouble
April 25, 2012
One of our favorite emerging bands over the past couple of years is Vintage Trouble, a soul/rock band out of Los Angeles that has lately been touring Europe to growing acclaim. We had frontman Ty Tayler scheduled for an interview on the Juneau & Xena radio show, but then he got too busy!! Our loss, […]
Rethink Music Case Study – Portugal. The Man
April 24, 2012
Portugal. The Man prides itself as the second most famous product to come out of Wasilla, Alaska. The story of the psychedelic rock band’s saga – years of living out of a van while honing their music in gig after gig, their triumphant Bonnaroo debut, getting signed by Atlantic Records in 2010 – makes for an […]
Fans speak – Scarlett Cherry’s “Fierce Mama”
April 19, 2012
Scarlett Cherry is a Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter boasting a voice as sweet and rich as honey, a beauty that is half-earth mother half-Hollywood siren, and sass to spare. Her CD “Labor of Love”, released last year, celebrated her experience of becoming a mother, and broke crowd-funding records on Kickstarter. Enjoy her performance of “Fierce Mama”, […]
Fans speak – All Mankind “Simple Desire”
March 22, 2012
We’re way overdue writing about All Mankind, a band of four raffishly good-looking Aussies who have transplanted to the U.K. and are currently touring Europe. All Mankind is poised to soar into indie superband ranks with its deeply spiritual themes, ability to span a full emotional range from vulnerable ballads to arena-filling rock anthems – […]
Fans speak – “Limited” by Jascha
February 24, 2012
Science journalist and singer-songwriter Jascha Hoffman released his latest oeuvre today, “Limited”. The music video created by John Pavlus is a mash-up of classic science fiction movies about the relationship between humans and artificial intelligences. But while the films generally view the relationship from the organic beings’ points of view, here the song inverts the […]
Dubstep explained
February 13, 2012
Keeping on top of the latest music trends is like trying to catalog the speciation of Darwin’s finches on the Galapagos Islands. (Yes, we are total science nerds.) I’ve been enjoying Skrillex, cheered his Grammy wins, and was totally into the electro dance party with DeadMau5 last night. At the same time, I’ve been having a hard […]
Christa Vi + Mint ‘Long Way Home/Clockwork Funfair Remix’
January 18, 2012
by J.K. We’ve previously done a little flail over Christa Vi, a beguiling Australian/German singer based in East London. She sent us this winsome remix by Mint of her song “Long Way Home”. Christa explains how the collaboration came about: “After meeting Mint (aka Murray Fisher) through mutual friends at a party – on a carpark […]
Fans speak – Maïa Vidal’s “Alphabet of My Phobias”
January 11, 2012
We’re loving this ravishing music video of singer-songwriter Maïa Vidal‘s new release, “Alphabet of My Phobias.” In this song, the waifish Vidal twists the innocence of a child reciting the alphabet into a litany of horrors of modern life. The video by filmmaker Noni Korf intermingles dewy, bridelike images of the lovely Vidal with childish crayon scrawls that morph […]
