Liars’ most recent album, Sisterworld, is simply my favorite 2010 release so far. It is just a great album. Listen to a representatively great song from the album: Your Thoughts?

More New Laura Marling!
July 2, 2010 – 12:00 pmShe has just recorded a new single (in one take!) with Jack White. And here are two new songs also performed in one take (H/T: Twenty-Four Bit, again): And a live Jackson C. Frank cover: Once again, her extraordinary debut album recorded when she was only 17 is Alas I Cannot Swim (Dig) and her [...]
Daily Hilarity: Jeff Tweedy Of Wilco Does Beyoncé’s Single Ladies
July 2, 2010 – 8:04 amThis is classic: Twenty Four Bit provides context: A Jeff Tweedy solo show is something to behold, and the Wilco frontman’s benefit gig at Chicago’s Vic Theatre in March was—by all accounts—a prime example. Tweedy performed a host of pre-submitted audience requests, including “Shakin’ Sugar,” a Wilco rarity that even he had to Google, Radiohead’s [...]
New Recording From Laura Marling & Sneh Ko Marg
July 2, 2010 – 7:39 amI admit I sort of hate the Sneh Ko Morg contributions to the song, but Laura is truly fantastic as always and this is an exciting harbinger of an EP of new recordings from Laura, Mumford and Sons, and Dharohar Project, coming July 5 to I-tunes: If you’re new to Laura, you might want to [...]
"Come Closer Together": The Beatles Mashed With Nine Inch Nails
June 15, 2010 – 11:10 amDJ Zebra’s incredible mash up of two classic songs from a few years back is more than a gimmick, it’s a legitimate work of art in its own right: By the way, Trent Reznor just released his first album not as Nine Inch Nails, How to Destroy Angels. His new group is also called How [...]

272. Frightened Rabbit
April 5, 2010 – 11:53 pmFor whatever reason I think of these guys as sort of the Scottish Counting Crows with a little more aggressive emotional frankness. Songs don’t come much more brutally blunt than this one: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ3r2BC7ctA&hl=en_US&fs=1&] Your Thoughts?
280. Low Anthem
March 28, 2010 – 11:55 pmI was instantly drawn to their sublime and gorgeous meditation on Darwin, “Charlie Darwin” with its beautiful video and have enjoyed the album a great deal: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKUo1HHfpUY&hl=en_US&fs=1&] [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGxaRpN5Eb4&hl=en_US&fs=1&] [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xskNqXmCNs&hl=en_US&fs=1&] Here’s what they sound like in one of the rare cases in which they rock out: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8EqN5VI31Y&hl=en_US&fs=1&] And more sublime meditative stuff: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfoR_PwqR6I&hl=en_US&fs=1&] [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeA-jYDrZYQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&] Your Thoughts?
287. Martha Wainwright
March 21, 2010 – 9:56 pmThe next artist on my 366 favorite artists countdown is the daughter of the last artist on the countdown. I’d say it’s a good chance that that’s only going to happen this once… [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNJzRKUk_VE&hl=en_US&fs=1&] [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Lpcwb2ndmo&hl=en_US&fs=1&] I know what you’re thinking, “what’s next–the same guy’s son tomorrow?” Maybe. I’ve gotta think about it. Your Thoughts?
