Low Vs. Diamond + Santogold = A Match Made in Indie Music Heaven

Published by Lo under Alternative, Breaking News, Tours

In case you haven’t heard, one of my favorite new bands Low vs. Diamond is going on tour with none other than this year’s biggest indie darling Santogold!  Obviously I’m very happy for the band because I think this tour could expose them to lots of new fans, like maybe…you?  Check out the tour dates below and dl “Heart Attack” - it’s my favorite song on LvD’s cd.

In other LvD news - there’s a hot new video on the way for “Heart Attack.”  I’ve seen the rough cut and IT IS GOOD!  Stay tuned for that post!

Joshua Radin Releases Sophomore Album on Mom & Pop Music

The times in which we live are confusing, chaotic and complex, but the things that have always been important in life are still important, and those are the subjects Joshua Radin addresses on his second album, Simple Times. These songs, he says, are about “falling in and out of love. Making friendships, having friendships fall apart. Experiencing different parts of the world, seeing other cultures and getting a better perspective on how we live in our country. Everything that people generally go through.”

The means he employs to deliver those ideas to the world is also pretty simple: He picks up a guitar and sings his heart out.

“It’s a personal account of my life through music,” says Cleveland-born Radin. “They’re all true and honest songs. When I meet people after shows, sometimes they think they know me because of a certain song—and in a sense they do, because I write about what’s going on in my life. It is scary making yourself vulnerable like that to a bunch of people you don’t know, but it’s also very therapeutic.”

“I was always trying to find some medium to express myself,” says Radin, who had previously studied art and spent six years writing screenplays. “When I started writing songs, I thought, ‘This is as honest as I can be: getting onstage with my guitar and my voice and singing for people.’”

Radin proved an extraordinarily quick study. A friend gave a demo featuring his very first composition, “Winter,” to a TV producer—who promptly used it to score a scene of the sitcom Scrubs in early 2004. Other Hollywood types found his music just as evocative, and soon various Radin songs were being heard in other TV shows (Grey’s Anatomy, Brothers and Sisters, American Idol, One Tree Hill, So You Think You Can Dance, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Eli Stone), as well as movies (The Nanny Diaries, The Last Kiss, Catch and Release) and ads.

Having captured the public’s attention, Radin set about keeping it with the release of his debut album in 2006. We Were Here drew critical acclaim and passionate listener response, establishing him as an artist in the tradition of greats like Nick Drake and Elliott Smith—confessional folk-pop craftsmen who could say more with a whisper than most can with a scream.

Still, We Were Here presented the first batch of songs Radin ever wrote. Simple Times is drawn from a much deeper well. “These last two years I spent writing and writing and writing,” he says. “I did feel this pressure on myself to top the first record.”

To help him do that, Radin enlisted highly regarded producer Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Beck). “I still wanted to keep an intimate sound, but I also knew I had to grow as an artist,” Radin says. “So I opened myself up to Rob’s production, and he had a lot of great ideas. We both had a really clear vision of what we wanted.”

Radin spent seven weeks at L.A.’s legendary Sunset Sound studio working with a cast of musicians including Patty Griffin, who dropped in to sing the exquisite harmony on “You Got Growin’ Up to Do.”

The completed Simple Times offers the next step in the evolution of an artist whose talent is flourishing, whose skills have grown and whose vision is broader than ever before.

“I feel like right about now I’m starting to hit my stride, which is cool,” he says. “With this record I feel like I can come out and say, ‘OK, I’m a fully formed artist now.’ I just hope that other people like it as much as I like it.”

Rival Schools

Published by i still have my youth under Shows, Tours

That’s right.  I said it.  But if you’re thinking of the video game - you are sadly mistaken.  The RIVAL SCHOOLS are back and their fans are hungry.  The first and last time I saw RS was during my early high school years when Birch Hill (in Old Bridge,NJ) was still open and not a home for the elders (boohoo-very sad time in my teenage life).  Since then, Walter Schreifels (singer) started a band called Walking Concert.  Me and my mom are hardcore Walter fans so we tracked down WC and saw them at the Sin E in NYC (very awesome place to be because of me being a huge Jeff Buckley fan - he used to play there weekly while he was still alive…) as well as Maxwells.  Not that we don’t love WC, we just really miss Rival Schools.  And I hope you do too.

Here’s where they’re going to be so far:

Oct 9 - The Echo Echo Park, California
Oct 10 - Brick By Brick San Diego, California
Oct 11 - Lisk Fest @ Oak Canyon Ranch Irvine, California
Oct 12 - Bottom Of The Hill San Fransisco, California
Nov 4 - Maxwell’s, Hoboken, NJ
Nov 6 - Mercury Lounge, NYC

And of course I shall be at the Maxwells show because Maxwells is my most favorite place :)
…and maybe the Mercury Lounge… if I can afford it… hmph.
