The Killers N the Killer’Smashs Debut Album Hot Fuss This Song Was the Epic Tale That Stood out from the Pop Hits on the Album

11 ONE BIG HOLIDAY - My Morning Jacket he intensity which this song builds as it climbs from its opening guitar solo to it last one will have any listener mesmerized by the sheer talent Tof the musicians who play the song. This song off their first major label album, and helped shoot them to stardom. After this albums release Rolling Stone Magazine called them the next big thing in rock music and they head- lined a sold out Madison Square Garden on New Year’Eve.s This song hints at their taste in music that spans from classic rock to folk to their hometown influence of Bluegrass. RELEASED: 2003 ALBUM: It Still Moves LABEL: ATO Records 12 HAPPIER- Guster uster is never a band that takes themselves too seriously, though their lyrics somtimes speak to the trials and tribulations of growing up and Gfacing hard facts. This song is filled with some angst about the bullshit having friends can sometimes cause and has the power to let the frustration melt away as the listener can scream out the line,“ One more inch, you son of a bitch, you’ve been a waste of my time. Along“ with the soaring vocals and rounds that make the loverly chorus even more beautiful, any Guster fan will tell you about the effect this song had on their youth. RELEASED: 1999 ALBUM: Lost and Gone Forever LABEL: Reprise 13 ALL THESE THINGS THAT I’VE DONE - The Killers n The Killer’smashs debut album Hot Fuss this song was the epic tale that stood out from the pop hits on the album. In a rallying cry about Oregret and the way others have treated him along the way, the song ends in the ultimate crecendo as Brandon Flowers grunts that“ I ve‘ got a soul, but I m‘ not a soldier.”This song makes the list because as you listen to it you can feel the power well up within you to say its all okay, and you can power on even though we aren t soldiers.‘ RELEASED: 2005 ALBUM: Hot Fuss LABEL: Island 4.

Indie Mixtape HQ Is the Third 2011
:: View email as a web page :: In conversation, Phoebe Bridgers speaks in a deadpan SoCal accent and punctuates her blunt and hilarious observations with generous amounts of curse words. She sounds, in other words, utterly unlike her music, which tends to be quiet, contemplative, and gorgeous. Because of her gently murmuring vocal style — "I don’t sing with a lot of emotion, it’s almost an apathetic singing voice," she confesses — Bridgers tends to be cast as yet another sad-sack singer-songwriter out to jerk every last one of your tears. It’s precisely that image that made her 2017 debut Stranger In The Alps a slow-burn sensation, setting in motion a promising career that was further bolstered by her participation in two indie supergroups: Boygenius (with Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker) and Better Oblivion Community Center (with Conor Oberst). On her latest album, Punisher, due out on Friday, Bridgers goes deeper and weirder, writing with uncommon insight about the millennial condition. Check out Uproxx’s interview with her here. -- Steven Hyden, Uproxx Cultural Critic and author of This Isn't Happening: Radiohead's "Kid A" And The Beginning Of The 21st Century OPENING TRACKS HAIM This infectious and frequently canny pop-rock trio is known for making fun sing-along jams with splashy choruses that evoke the glory years of FM and Top 40 radio. They also have a good sense of humor, as evidenced by the title of their forthcoming LP due next week, Women In Music Pt. III. LISTEN MICHAEL STIPE KHRUANGBIN The venerable R.E.M.

Cool Music Scene: Louisville, Kentucky
Print http://www.gibson.com/en%2Dus/Print/?PrintAliasPath=/en-us/Lifestyle... Cool Music Scene: Louisville, Kentucky Jonah Bayer | 02.21.2008 Forget about Seattle or Brooklyn. Over the past few decades Louisville, Kentucky, has quietly constructed one of the strongest music scenes in the country. Check out a few of the city’s most popular acts as well as a couple of newcomers. My Morning Jacket My Morning Jacket are perhaps the biggest band from Louisville, Kentucky, in the past decade—and the only band we know of that can unite jam band fanatics, indie rock purists, and classic rock enthusiasts alike. While all of the band’s albums are stellar, we recommend checking out their breakthrough 2003 album It Still Moves, which features “One Big Holiday,” a song that can be considered the “Free Bird” for the iTunes generation. Oh, and if that doesn’t impress you, Netflix a copy of their live DVD Okonokos, which beautifully showcases the cinematic grandeur of the band’s live performances. 1 of 4 2/25/2008 12:57 PM Print http://www.gibson.com/en%2Dus/Print/?PrintAliasPath=/en-us/Lifestyle... VHS Or Beta Like all great scenes, the Louisville music community is extremely incestuous. In fact, My Morning Jacket’s guitarists Jim James and Carl Broemel both guest star on VHS Or Beta’s latest album Bring On the Comments. That’s not to say that the bands sound the same—VHS Or Beta’s dance-influenced rock jams are more at home in a trance club setting than the Burning Man festival—but both acts have successfully elbowed aside any genre restrictions and helped to unite seemingly disparate scenes with their music.

Indie Mixtape 20 Q&A Is with Del Paxton, Who Just Wish That People Would Think Their Band Was from the '90S
:: View email as a web page :: On Friday, My Morning Jacket finally released The Waterfall II, an album recorded in the mid-2010s. On The Waterfall, My Morning Jacket sounded determined to remind fans of the monolithic jams they made their name with in the ’00s. The sequel, however, carries no such pretenses. Even the hardest rocking track, “Wasted,” which settles on a surly guitar groove accented with punchy horns, feels more like an invitation to explore the darkest corners of innerspace than a call to party. In that way, The Waterfall II feels (apologies for using a corny term) more honest. Much of the record is composed of bleary-eyed, pedal steel-laced ballads that dwell ruefully on loss and aspire gorgeously to a state of healing, creating an all-too-relatable vibe of heartsick restlessness driven by a desperate desire to believe that tomorrow will somehow be better. So we guess it really is relevant to our endless now after all.

Brandon Flowers Soloalbum Ute Den 8:E September!
2010-06-30 17:45 CEST Brandon Flowers soloalbum ute den 8:e september! “We’re caught up in the crossfire, of heaven and hell And we’re searchin for shelter Lay your body down, lay your body down, lay your body down...” (“Crossfire” by Brandon Flowers) The Killers’ Brandon Flowers will release his debut solo album, entitled Flamingo, on September 8th, 2010 on Island Records/Universal Music. Produced by Stuart Price, Daniel Lanois, and Brendan O’Brien and featuring guest vocals by Jenny Lewis, Flamingo is a brilliant collection from an artist whose voice and songwriting prowess have left an indelible mark on the music world. The album’s infectious first single, “Crossfire,” is a rousing, epic rocker, and is available to hear now on Flowers’ website – http://www.brandonflowersmusic.com, at radio now and available on iTunes for digital download. Inextricably tied to Las Vegas in both showmanship and ideology,Flamingo is packed full of sparkling, stadium-ready songs that run the gamut from expert pop executions and forlorn electro dirges to gospel tunes and even blues- tinged rock. Brandon’s solo project comes in the wake of The Killers’ hiatus, a well-earned sabbatical after seven straight years of hard work. After signing with Island in 2003, they debuted with the 5 million-selling debut Hot Fuss (June 2004). It was the longest-running rock album inside the top 50 on the Billboard 200 albums chart for all of 2005, logging 94 weeks on the chart – 53 of those inside the Top 50. The album spun off four solid hit singles – the Grammy- nominated “Somebody Told Me,” the VMA-winning (and Grammy-nominated) “Mr.

Time's the Revelator
Time’s the Revelator: Revival and Resurgence in Alt.country and Modern Old-Time American Music Ashley Denise Melzer A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of American Studies (Folklore). Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Dr. William Ferris Dr. Robert Cantwell Dr. Patricia Sawin © 2009 Ashley Denise Melzer ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ASHLEY MELZER: Time’s the Revelator: Revival and Resurgence in Alt.country and Modern Old-Time American Music (Under the directions of Dr. William Ferris, Dr. Robert Cantwell, and Dr. Patricia Sawin) This thesis investigates the relationship between the modern old-time and alt.country movements through the comparison of four different female musicians: Abigail Washburn, Rayna Gellert, Gillian Welch, and Neko Case. These four women often pull from the same wellspring of old-time songs/structures/sounds, but their instincts come from exceptionally different places. The disparity between the ways they approach their music, reveals how the push toward modern capitalist industrialism has affected how different artists and communities access and transmit those old-world icons and sounds. Furthermore, their engagement specifically with the topic of gender exposes key tactical differences. Old-time musicians, Washburn and Gellert, work within the strictures of tradition so as to remain in dialogue with their community. Welch and Case play into the experimental bent of alt.country to emotionally affect listeners in order to create discreet, personal connections between themselves and their audience. iii To the ones who listen and love me anyway iv PREFACE In the summer, Florida is so hot the home becomes some dark prison of necessary air conditioning.
