I listened to the “Free to Be You and Me” record over and over and over again when I was little – so much so that carefully lifting and flipping the record and putting the needle down is one of my earliest memories. Alan Alda’s voice on the story Atalanta’s big race was my first [...]
So about a week ago Sony called me, which was funny, little at home indie that I am, and asked if I’d like to speak with Imogen Heap. I said, heck yes please.
Imogen Heap is beloved by me for her ressonant, disarming music, and for this Mia Michaels routine on So You Think you [...]

The 1929 will be up for a month or so in a vacant spot [...]
Let’s take a second to think about how we love Iron and Wine, aka Sam Beam. The shaggy, melancholy Texan (by way of South Carolina and Florida) on the Sub Pop label, featured in the Twilight Movie, singing all soft spoken with the heart-hurty honesty of songs steeped in seven years of anonymity before being [...]
Halifax psychfolk duo Omon Ra bring in different friends to play with them at every show, making each performance a unique event, showcasing their acoustic melodies, living room jams, psychadelic encantations, tripped-out electric spirals, or no wave cave echoes, depending on the show.
