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.
I S S A beefbone music ProductShopNYC __ The Politics of Pop Culture_ Music Product Shop NYC and Crown Publishing Group are proud to announce the "Let's Go Steady Debbie" contest! We want to press 1000 cd singles for you, fly you to New York City for a showcase, and get you heard by a bunch of major music industry folks. Here's the deal: Marc Spitz' brand new novel, Too Much, Too Late, is based on an imaginary band called The Jane Ashers, who score a hit with "Let's Go Steady Debbie". We are asking bands from all over America to read Marc Spitz’s book, and interpret and express what THEY think the fictional single “Let’s Go Steady, Debbie” sounds like since the novel only suggests it via intentionally minor descriptive detail. You write the lyrics. All you have to do is: 1. The winner will receive 1000 PROMOTIONAL COPIES of a CD SINGLE (A-side “Let’s Go Steady Debbie” b-side a recording of your band’s choosing) which will be distributed and promoted by Product Shop Records. Please note that the deadline for all material is June 14, 2006.
Jurassic5 Alternative Music - Home Page Home : Kacey Musgraves 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 opening track 'Sticky Wickets' is a pretty direct 70s style prog-rocker with plenty of cowbell. And really it is the songs that find a greater depth that make this collaboration so special. These more serious moments aside, Sticky Wickets is, as you might suspect, a lot of fun too.
