I recently interviewed Dan Livingston, a musician and ‘amateur ethnomusicologist’ as he says, who tours Europe regularly but just got back from a first ever tour of China where he crossed the country north to south several times over. In many cases his playing these songs, American traditionals, country, bluegrass pre-1940, was the first time […]

For a nice dose of free music late on this cool Sunday mid-summer you could check out the Sunday Mp3 Round Up on the site called “Indie Music Blog” or “Hearya” that comes out of Chicago. The site reviews and features artists (they’d probably be glad to feature or review you too, if you’re music […]

Firstly, the Unsettlers. I saw this band play their first ever show fourteen months and some eighty gigs ago, and have seen many shows in between and it reaffirms one undeniable truth: there is no substitute for hard work. While they’ve always been one of the most interesting and fun bands in the […]

It’s always nice to be reminded that the people being caricatured into enmity by extremists and “leaders” (theirs and ours) include indie music lovers, people lovers, love lovers just like us. Yes, there is an Iranian underground:

From Persionesque, here’s excerpts from an interview with Hypernova, true heart wrenching, hard rocking indie rock from Tehran, […]

All Tomorrow’s Parties have been urging acts to play their great albums in full since about 2005, and the practice is catching on.

Montreal’s the Darling DeMaes posted a couple pre-mastered sound-bytes from their upcoming album on their myspace (www.myspace.com/thedarlingdemaes).
The F.A.C.T.O.R-supported album was recorded and mixed across the train tracks at Mountain City by Joseph Donovan (The Dears, Sam Roberts) and Adrian Popovich (Tricky Woo, Mongrels).
In late August, the demaes head down to Toronto to master the record […]

Check out the poster for the MonthlyMess coming up, it’s a big party for Indyish.com’s 2nd Birthday (we love birthdays) and we’re just celebrating with as much art and live music and sound and story and film and dance as we can possibly cram into one evening at La Sala Rossa. The mood will be […]

Former Montrealer King Khan made another triumphant return to what he affectionately refers to as “the deep south of the north” last Saturday, as he hauled his eight piece psychedelic soul explosion over from Berlin to a sold-out Sala Rossa. For those uninitiated in the dark arts of Mr. Khan, let’s just say that he […]

Tom Waits
Small Change
Asylum Records (1976)
jazz, pop, blues, rock, beat poetry
It was tough to choose one Tom Waits album, (and I’m sure one day, we’ll get an album from another period), and picking just one from his Asylum Record years was a little daunting. It could have just as easily been Blue Valentine (1978), […]
