		<description><![CDATA[When we first started the site well over 6 years ago it was simple, very simple. Every month we ran a contest allowing fans to vote for their favorite artist; 1 out of 4 choices, hand selected by us. While we didn't expect a surge in activity, we quickly learned we had a hit idea. The popularity became so big our shared hosting couldn't handle the traffic - over 310,000 page views in a month we were able to hit.

		<description><![CDATA[Here we present yet another short and sweet post, this time being presented from the spotty Internet connection in South Africa. The flight, with unusually tight leg room and with a surprise free overnight pack (from South African Airways, probably the last standing airline to do so!), was made better with the in flight entertainment service of not only your pick of tv shows and movies, but also a choice of music artists picked specifically to relax your senses for the 7 hour connecting flight.

		<description><![CDATA[It was a little over three years ago. I was a hopeful contestant three rounds into my college's attempt at American Idol, and in desperate need of a new song to showcase another layer of my vocal abilities. In response to my anxious pleas, I was met with dozens of suggestions from friends, all good, but none of which I felt would accomplish what I needed: everything had been sung (or shrieked) at local dive karaoke contests. I needed a secret formula. Then, in my eleventh hour, my New Zealand-raised roommate said the sentence I'd been waiting to hear: "I know the perfect song for you" ;no one in the U.S. really knows the artist, but her music; oh my God! her voice is unbelievable!

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week, I heard via the radio that Soundgarden was IN the studio currently working on new material for 2011. I am both skeptical and excited to hear this great news. I am excited to hear this because I could spend days or weeks trying to figure out if they would be going in a different direction with the music they make or would they stay the same and give us some of that sweet old grunge sound we have come to enjoy in the part, either way I am excited and eager to hear what ever they come out with. This was inevitable for Soundgarden to go back into the studio and compose a new album, ever sine the band reunited in 2010 to play a couple of select shows since 1997.

		<description><![CDATA[STRFKR, also known as PYRAMID also known as Pyramiddd also known as and pronounced as Starf***er also not to be confused with the band from Belgium under the same name, is a band from Portland, Oregon. The band is comprised of Joshua Hodges, Ryan Biornstad, Shawn Glassford, and Keil Corcoran, all contributing and playing an assortment of guitar, keyboard, drums, turntables, and vocals. This electronica band makes use of hazy vocals and energetic bleeps that stop you in your tracks to make you wonder, "who are these guys??" right before you get pulled into their dance craze.

		<description><![CDATA[It's probably safe to say this dreadful weather has taken a handsome toll on all of us, but luckily, there is a cure for what ails. With dates being unveiled at the same speed of the fallingÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚Â¦ snain (or whatever that ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…â€œwintry mixÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚Â of snow and rain is), the Greater Boston concert scene is picking up momentum, and not a second too soon. From marquee staples the likes of Rihanna, Sade &#38; John Legend, Rod Stewart &#38; Stevie Nicks, and Bon Jovi, to less famous powerhouses such as Ellie Goulding, Further, and Providence-based indie rockers The Low Anthem besieging local stages, Boston will be swaying and flicking those red socks-embossed lighters well through the sticky dog days of summer.

		<description><![CDATA[This past Friday, February 18, I caught a show at The Vera Project in Seattle, an all ages venue in Seattle Center. It was definitely an experience. When we were looking for venues, it didn't occur to us that "all-ages" also meant no bar and a crowd of almost all early college and high schoolers with parents in the back waiting for the concert to be over so they could pick up their kids.

Despite the new venue experience, we were pleasantly surprised by the whole night. The venue was picked purely on Myspace samples of Us On Roofs and Land Of Pines, leaving us with the thought of, "yeah, we could spend an evening listening to that". Both are underage bands with ties to the Experience Music Project Sound Off! battle of the bands. The whole night was a refreshing confirmation that young bands are not to be ignored.

		<description><![CDATA[It might be a disease. Whether in the theater, surrounded by a spellbound audience or in my living room watching the characters of ABC's latest drama dash across my television, I'm never quite consumed by the plot. Always, always I am more tuned in to what's going on behind the scenes: soundtracks reel me in. While those around me channel laser-like focus on dialogue, character interaction, and hidden symbolism, I am busy jotting down lyrical snippets on my BlackBerry to explore later.

		<guid isPermaLink="false">http://reviewartists.com/?p=3895</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[The Imagined Village is a project started by Simon Emmerson, a three time Grammy nominee, who wanted to explore identity of traditional English folk music while acknowledging the multiculturalism in the U.K. The name of the band comes from the book The Imagined Village by Georgina Boyles which is a study of English folk traditions. They ask the question, "who decides what it is to be authentic and English and more importantly what it is that makes us proud to be English musicians"? The question is never quite answered but it comes close to, "that there is a distinctly English tradition that belongs not to royalists and imperialists, but to the people, a tradition that runs from The Diggers to The Clash."

		<description><![CDATA[I didn't watch the Grammys live this year, but thanks to the efficiency of social media, I was quite up to speed on each and every development. A few things worth discussing (or deliberating):

1. ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…â€œWho is Esperanza Spalding?ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚Â Question of the night the year. Yet, while all of the world's Beliebers (and nonBeliebers) are in a Twitter tizzy about an alleged musical coup d'ÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â©tat, Espe is laughing all the way to her next sold out show with a shiny, golden gramophone in hand. I'm impressed that the Academy chose to honor an unconventional nominee, at the risk of infinite backlash (Drake and Florence were nominated for Best New Artist too, Beliebers). Not that the Grammy panel cares about a swarm of prepubescent tweens.

		<description><![CDATA[Last year, I introduced you to Mike, guitarist &#038; bouzouki player for Circus Envy. They are now back with their new single Regret, which was released on 24 Jan.

Suprisingly upbeat given its title, Regret builds on the band's sound from their previous EP A New Dawn. Incorporating a distinctive fiddle line as well as the odd tin whistle in a multi-layered accompaniment, which is held together by Mike's energetic strumming - continuously driving the track forward but not being afraid to drop back as and when the lyrics demand.

Lyrically, the band have left behind the folky vibes of A New Dawn, Regret is very much a modern and original composition, which is distinctly pop-py at times. (And ever so slightly ear-wormy).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ever since moving into my new apartment, now five months ago, I never bothered to change the presets on my radio alarm clock. As such, I wake up every morning to mostly static coming from 88.1 WMBR,  the MIT campus radio station. However, every Monday the songs come in loud and clear from their show French Toast, a show dedicated completely to French-language music. Normally in my morning stupor, I hit the snooze button about four times and don't listen to anything, but this past Monday was different. I was greeted with an incredibly happy chanson, made to make you wake up on the right side of the bed. That chanson was "Demain Sera Parfait" by Jean-Louis Aubert off his latest album Roc'Eclair.

Jean-Louis Aubert is from the band TÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â©lÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â©phone, the French version of The Rolling Stones. They lasted from 1977 to 1986 and hit huge with their eighties-taststic rock music. Since then Jean-Louis has been working solo with eight albums to himself. His solo work is less rock and more reflective, "as if each of his songs found the original virtue of music - to do good".
