Story Excerpt: The Black Keys in Rolling Stone

2012-01-04T11:01:00.000-08:00

From Rolling Stone: Patrick Carney is pretty sure he knows what's ailing his chosen genre these days. "Rock & roll is dying because people became OK with Nickelback being the biggest band in the world," he says, blowing cigarette smoke out the window of his rented East Village loft a few days before the band heads to L.A. "So they became OK with the idea that the biggest rock band in the world is always going to be shit – therefore you should never try to be the biggest rock band in the world. Fuck that! Rock & roll is the music I feel the most passionately about, and I don't like to see it fucking ruined and spoon-fed down our throats in this watered-down, post-grunge crap, horrendous shit. When people start lumping us into that kind of shit, it's like, ‘Fuck you,' honestly." READ MORE HERE

LA Weekly's Top 10 Los Angeles Albums of 2011

2011-12-13T20:23:00.000-08:00

From LA Weekly: 1. Kendrick Lamar
Album: Section 80
The rapper most likely to inherit the West Coast's throne followed up last year's breakout record, (O)verly (D)edicated, with a more thematically-cohesive effort. The lyrics from Compton's pride and joy Section 80 are haunted by the visions that torment his heart. Whether spitting over a free-base jazz beat on "Ab-Soul's Outro," observing Long Beach Blvd's never-dared-to-dream girls in "Keisha's Song (Her Pain)," or painting a blood-splattered, crack pipe-littered portrait of the CPT in "Ronald Reagan Era," Lamar raps like he's just come down from the mountain. He didn't make the feel-good album of the year. Instead, he thrust his fist into the air and asked us to join him. -Rebecca Haithcoat

2011-12-12T17:10:00.000-08:00

From NPR Music: The hits just keep on coming — so much excellent music rolls out each week that it can be hard just to keep up. In 2011, Bon Iver, Wilco, Raphael Saadiq, The Decemberists, Gillian Welch, Tinariwen, Elbow, Tom Waits and Fleet Foxes all met high expectations. Shabazz Palaces, James Blake and Wild Flag dropped highly anticipated debuts that lived up to the advance buzz. Charles Bradley came out of nowhere, stripping his heart and soul bare on his debut album (No Time for Dreaming) at age 61. And legendary funk guitarist Dennis Coffey descended from cloud nine and a 20-year hiatus to lay down some wicked new original tracks.

In 2011, even with more outlets than ever for discovering and sharing new music, it's nearly impossible for even the most dedicated music lover to keep up. So, if the following five acts didn't pop up your radar in the past year, here's a perfect opportunity to catch up. READ MORE AND WATCH VIDS HERE

2011-12-07T17:54:00.000-08:00

From Rolling Stone: The biggest hit from the biggest album of the year is a breakup scorcher to beat all breakup scorchers, with Adele slinging bolts of regretful scorn amid gospel-tinged stomp and a gaggle of soul-sister backup singers. This is brokenhearted music that makes you feel like taking on the world – crackling with quiet menace in the intro, then slowly building to that gut-punch refrain of "We could have had it all!" How did such an old-school soul song dominate the charts next to Gaga and Katy Perry? Maybe it's the hint of hip-hop venom you hear amid the blues-steeped storminess when Adele tells her ex-lover she'll "lay your shit bare." Maybe it's that certain emotions – especially when channeled through a voice this powerful – will always seem timeless. READ MORE AND VIEW THE LIST HERE

From PopMatters: #1 - M83 “Midnight City” - All it takes is four synthesizer notes. That’s it. Smothered in reverb, coated in ‘80s nostalgia, teetering on the edge of full-on explosion, those four notes pack more heart and energy than most albums released in 2011. But “Midnight City” is more than just a powerful introduction. On this transcendent standout from the sixth M83 album, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, Anthony Gonzalez and co-synth-scientist Justin Meldal-Johnsen build layer upon layer of keys, arena-sized drums, and vocal atmospherics (not mentioning one of the tastiest sax solos this side of a Springsteen record). The result? The synth Sistine Chapel. SEE THE FULL LIST HERE

2011-11-22T14:05:00.000-08:00

From Spin: In 2011, "Looking for the perfect beat" increasingly means digging on the Hype Machine for out nerdball indie rock — in the last two years, you can hear Lupe Fiasco rap over Modest Mouse, E-40 flipping Bjork, the Roots borrowing Joanna Newsom, B.o.B. ganking Vampire Weekend, and of course Kanye West pulling Bon Iver from his cabin and giving him a shutter shade makeover. Adding to that inglorious list is "Cold Corner 2 (Eyes Wide)," the latest mixtape from G-Unit soldier Lloyd Banks, which flips Radiohead's OK Computer heatrock "Climbing Up the Walls" (via Stereogum). It's not exactly that surprising since the new Drake record is basically Kid A + codeine (and, uh, Chino XL was flipping Radiohead tracks when Banks was still at August Mountain High School), but we'll take it.

A single Los Campesinos! song can produce enough memorable lines to fill a dozen email signatures, provided it's possible to parse the words over singer Gareth's Welsh-accented mushmouth and the mad clatter that constantly threatens to drown him out.
