Scene and Not Seen: January 2011
http://sceneandnotseen.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Scene and Not Seen. Making scenes since 2010. Monday, January 31, 2011. Cass McCombs - County Line. Cryptic perhaps, but this shift to melancholy (shift is perhaps not the best word, as this is nothing really new from Cass), is going to hopefully prove to be the main aim of my show tonight. I'm going to be playing melancholic songs focusing on the relationship between people and place. Any suggestions would be more than appreciated. Friday, January 28, 2011. Deerhoof - Deerhoof vs. Evil. Or do we love De...

Scene and Not Seen: Buy the Hype
http://sceneandnotseen.blogspot.com/2011/06/buy-hype.html
Scene and Not Seen. Making scenes since 2010. Wednesday, June 22, 2011. The hype (and subsequent backlash) around Iceage's upcoming release New Brigade. Seems to be steadily building. I couldn't be happier for the Danish post-punkers, who have put together one fine album that has been on repeat in my house for over a month now. The guitars sound brilliant. The arrogance is well placed, as is the nonchalance. It's a wonderful album that I can't recommend enough. To give you a taste . Ill buy the backlash.

Scene and Not Seen: October 2010
http://sceneandnotseen.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Scene and Not Seen. Making scenes since 2010. Friday, October 22, 2010. Monday, October 18, 2010. One the Program Today . What does it mean to be able to enjoy uncertainty? The above quote comes from this. Friday, October 15, 2010. The Bad Plus: Never Stop. Is first album by Minneapolis trio The Bad Plus to feature only original compositions. After making a name for themselves for wonderful jazz arrangements of pop classics like Tears for Fear's "Everybody Wants to Rule the World". Or Rush's "Tom Sawyer".

Ear To The Sound: The summer lives forever
http://eartothesound.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-summer-lives-forever.html
Friday, July 20, 2012. The summer lives forever. Listening to the latest effort from Winnipeg hip-hop duo The Happy Unfortunate, I can't help but think of A Tribe Called Quest's Midnight Marauders. I know that comparing THU to one of the giants of the rap game in ATCQ may seem overblown or like a reach, but bear with me. When ATCQ debuted with People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm. Helped birth the daisy age. At it's root, Instinctive Travels. And two years later came No Time To Sleep.

Ear To The Sound: August 2012
http://eartothesound.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 21, 2012. One man's loss is the world's gain. Are no strangers to Ear To The Sound. Readers. Back when I started this blog (over 4 years ago, yikes! With the whole "A is for./ B is for." conceit and didn't know what this blog would become, the E was for Evening Hymns. Though it never got its own blog entry, Spirit Guides. The debut album under the Evening Hymns moniker - was #15 on my Top 20 of 2009 post. Served as a primer to what the sophomore record, Spectral Dusk. Lie down in his mind.

Ear To The Sound: January 2012
http://eartothesound.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 12, 2012. Slippery as a (Swedish) fish. Over just seven songs, Halina Larsson crafts a captivating little album. Fires and French Horns. Fires and French Horns- Halina Larsson. Larsson's voice takes on a dusky tone on "Puget Sounds;" the record's quiet standout. The snare provides a lolloping beat that matches the efforts of the song's protagonist to pull her lover onward in their relationship. While it's not as out-and-out country as Barton Hollow. At Larsson' Bandcamp page. So here it...

Ear To The Sound: February 2012
http://eartothesound.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 7, 2012. I've had the distinct pleasure of recording Tim Crabtree - aka Paper Beat Scissors - twice at the UMFM studio. Once in our old space and again in our new band room [you can hear the latter session here. As well as seeing him perform live. To say I was excited to hear that Crabtree had enlisted past Ear To The Sound. Fave Mike Feuerstack of Snailhouse. As great as the help is, this is still Crabtree's show and his statement. All the ornamentation in the world couldn't prop t...

Ear To The Sound: Hell yes, Way Yes.
http://eartothesound.blogspot.com/2012/06/hell-yes-way-yes.html
Thursday, June 14, 2012. Hell yes, Way Yes. From the folks that brought you past ETTS act Dominant Legs. Lefse Records is back and starting the summer off right with a little EP from Columbus, Ohio trio Way Yes called - appropriately enough - Walkability. Album, their Western Vinyl. Label-mates Callers, and even Victoria, B.C. act Chet - whose Kauai. Is a criminally overlooked record. At a brief 5 songs and seconds shy of 20 minutes, striding to the pace of Walkability. Way Yes - Walkability. Winnipeg, M...
