LAMB 5 7 Alternatives to Pandora and Last.FM | Mystery Tricycle Whether you are annoyed by the ads on Pandora, the limited number of skips, or the abyss of cruel 30-second song teasers from Last.FM, many online listeners are growing weary of mainstream methods of hearing new music. While the Pandora algorithm is strong, and the Last.FM related artists tool is pretty useful, don’t fool yourself in to thinking that there aren’t other great ways to expose yourself to new music in the depths of cyberspace. Here are 7 alternatives to Pandora and Last.FM that will infuse your day with an uninterrupted stream of music that large record companies haven’t managed to squash under their thumbs yet. StumbleAudio StumbleAudio has a killer recommendation engine that works better for me than Pandora’s. Songza Songza uses a recommendation engine that runs for each ‘channel’, but unlike Pandora, channels are not tied to specific listeners and rather are community property. Musicovery Stereomood Ah, the power of the ‘tag cloud’. 8tracks Grooveshark The Hype Machine

The Bird And The Bee May 7th, 2013 May 16th, 2012 Recently, TB&TB Merch Gal Nikki solicited fans to send questions to Greg and Inara through the Facebook page. Here is the result. If you could be the opening act for anyone, who would it be? Who would be the ultimate opening act for you? What talent do you wish you had? What is the first concert/musical performance you attended? If you want to share: Who will you interpret on the next volume of 'Interpreting the Masters'? If you could be any one person for a day, who would it be? The greatest lesson you ever learned from your parents? The greatest lesson you ever learned from a child? What is something about you that nobody would guess? Which is your favorite video you've made and why? What is the craziest tour story you have to share? What are some of the things you do to keep from going into or breaking out of artist/writer's block? How has the experience of having children and family life in general impacted your creative output? November 17th, 2011 November 2nd, 2011

IMOGEN HEAP | LIKE NO OTHER Gil Scott-Heron Home : Kacey Musgraves beefbone music Sufjan Stevens | Asthmatic Kitty Records Sufjan Stevens is a singer-songwriter currently living in Brooklyn, NY. A preoccupation with epic concepts has motivated two state records (Michigan & Illinois), a collection of sacred and biblical songs (Seven Swans), an electronic album for the animals of the Chinese zodiac (Enjoy Your Rabbit), two Christmas box sets (Songs for Christmas, vol. 1-5 and Silver & Gold, vol. 6-10), and a programmatic tone poem for the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (The BQE). His most recent records are from 2010: an expansive EP (All Delighted People) and the full length The Age of Adz, a collection of songs partly inspired by the outsider artist Royal Robertson. Born in Detroit and raised in Northern Michigan, Sufjan attended Hope College, in Holland, Michigan, and the masters program for writers at the New School for Social Research.

Jurassic5 Welcome - The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain DEEP SEA DIVER Reviews | The Duckworth Lewis Method On paper, a band and album created around the concept of cricket has the sound of something rather niche, hardly universal, and perhaps a little tongue-in-cheek. Clearly their love of the game was very genuine but the greatest thing about The Duckworth Lewis Method was its ability to truly strike a chord beyond the boundary of the cricket field with brilliantly crafted, clever pop songs that were accessible to anyone whether or not they knew their LBW from a googly. This applies even more on the band's second inning, Sticky Wickets. It's quite a challenge for Hannon and Walsh to come back with fresh ideas after pouring what appeared to be every ounce of cricketing history and folklore into their debut. The result, I'm sure, of many a conversation over the years that finally came to fruition, they left very little behind. The opening track 'Sticky Wickets' is a pretty direct 70s style prog-rocker with plenty of cowbell.
