• Artist Profile: Margaret Cho

  
  LimeWire Music Blog — Authority: 492
  Margaret Cho has never encountered a subject she was afraid to talk about. In fact, she has broached topics in front of audiences that most people only have the courage to whisper about in hushed tones, if at all. Tackling racism, sexuality, gay rights, and politics, in tandem with sharing her most personal (and ...

• The intoxicating Hancock Basement

  
  Knox Road — Authority: 476
  As I was packing this morning to head home for Thanksgiving I decided I needed something upbeat spinning in the background. I know, “upbeat” and Lee? Not usually associated with each other. (Just kidding, though Jamie would lead you to believe otherwise.) So I surfed through the overflowing inbox (a good thing – ...

  Hailing from New Jersey and currently residing in Seattle, Rachel Flotard has been piloting Visqueen for years while singing with Neko Case. When her father took ill, she put her career on hold in order to spend time with him as he battled prostate cancer. Losing her dad led Flotard to take deeper stock of her ...

• Clean Equations’ sublime dream-pop

  
  Knox Road — Authority: 476
  Clean Equations could easily be Messy Equations with seven band members. But in the age of the indie-pop collective (at least for me), they pull off a solid and tempered group dynamic. Musical hysteria be damned, you’re losing in the big bands battle! Minimalist percussion and layers upon layers of rippled keys ...

  LimeWire Music Blog — Authority: 492
  Vertical Horizon spent the last ten years getting a first-class education in the vagaries of the music business.

• Loch Lomond

  
  Knox Road — Authority: 476
  Wake up, ceiling stare, hurriedly dress and walk with the wind to work. Hear something. Stop. Gate off to the right. Press your ear to the door. Echoes, bouncing sounds. Eyes to the hole. Kids running around, innocence abound. Flowers in full bloom. Weeping trees. Afraid someone will see you watching. Realize you’re ...

• Jadiid

  
  Knox Road — Authority: 476
  Jadiid is an interesting band. If you asked me to give you their overall “sound,” I suppose I’d say something about acoustic guitars, folk, soul, and the like, but it wouldn’t be a fair description. The band’s full-length, It’s OK, Be Anxious , definitely has an acoustic bend to it, but it also features ...

• Artist Profile + Free MP3: Bassnectar

  
  LimeWire Music Blog — Authority: 492
  While many electronic music producers specialize in one specific niche, San Francisco-based DJ/producer Lorin “Bassnectar” Ashton likes to keep his musical options open. On his seventh album, Cozza Frenzy , Ashton unleashes a tasty smorgasboard of pummeling dubstep beats, tough-as-nails breaks, blissed-out ...

• Beth Bombara and the Robotic Foundation

  
  Knox Road — Authority: 476
  There are many artists out there that really give me a tough time getting used to their sound. Granted, once I do, I don’t understand how I didn’t like the music before (yes, Dirty Projectors, you are finally in that category for me.) So it’s surprising when I’m smitten almost instantaneously by a certain ...

You know I love Etsy , Im an addict for sure, but sometimes it is like going to a flea market where you are bound to find that treasure that you just have to take home with you, but it takes a while of ...

• Will Stratton: Perfect for a cold weekend

  
  Knox Road — Authority: 476
  Wunderkid Will Stratton ’s newest LP, No Wonder , dropped earlier this week and I’d be remiss not to share my thoughts. I know very little about Stratton, except that Mr. Nobody, Sufjan Stevens, made an appearance on his first album, What The Night Said , which garnered much critical praise. His voice is eerily ...

  Pacific Northwest rock heroes the Melvins have been blasting out their blend of punk, metal, and experimental music since the ’80s.

• Joe Nichols: Singing About ‘New Things’ And ‘Old Friends’

  
  LimeWire Music Blog — Authority: 492
  Take one listen when Joe Nichols sings and one thing is apparent. He is a country singer. That direction has been very apparent from the start — even when it “cost” him a chance to go with another style. “I had a rock and roll phase for about ten minutes when I was in the ninth grade,” the singer joked to ...

  Brooklyn Funk Essentials , who were mentored early on by legendary producer Arthur Baker, have been mixing funk, jazz, hip-hop, world music, and more into a percolating multi-culti sonic stew since the early ’90s, even though they took a hiatus for a while. These days, the group is back on the beat, still touring in ...
