I'd never heard of Talvik, but she sounds nice on Bandcamp. On her videos page she seems undecided between a girl next door image (Glow) and one more provocative (Clown).
In fact, her attractiveness is considered sufficient to necessitate a change in classical music coverage at one UK paper
Knowing the kind of journalism that the Sun portrays ( lots of innuendos and reading age needed is probably about 6 - seriously!) I suspect the Scotsman article was a bit 'tongue in cheek'!!
I heard her on televison earlier this week - certainlly a good violinist...
I honestly don't know what to think of Andrew W.K. I was not much a fan of what little I heard of his music ten years ago, but come to find out he did time in Wolf Eyes, and he's produced a Lee Scratch Perry album...
I found this podcast interview of him by Marc Maron to be fantastically entertaining, and I'm not usually one to enjoy hour plus long podcast interviews.
Argh... just lost a post about how the Andrew W.K. album cover turned me off from him so I have no idea what he even sounds like and the 3rd Band of Horses album disinterested me so much that I barely even realized that a 4th one was coming out.
It was a little more eloquent than that, but this wins points for being more succinct...
That hard brown substance is Hash. You'd think the little silver pipe in the empty condom box with the cassette tape would tip you off. That slip of paper with the hand-written set list: Zig-Zag. Your old man was way cooler than he appeared. The concert was in '87 and you're 35? Thought so. It happened a lot.
My wife always told our kids,"Anything you can think of to do, your parents have already done. So don't think we won't know what you're doing, we'll know it in a heartbeat." The kids are grown now, never had any trouble out of 'em. My son likes Heavy Metal. He was dumbfounded when I walked in his room and started singing the lyrics to the track he was playing, all the more since he had had to Google the lyrics. "You know the words to 'Iron Man'?--My father knows the words to 'Iron Man'." I reminded him what his mother told him about his parents.
LOL--Mirage Rock is "a very shallow and sad-looking puddle of a record containing nothing and reflecting nothing." For a while I've thought BoH had a very nice sound concealing, or trying to conceal, complete vacuity in the songwriting. This review is so harsh that for a second when I read "Lead single" I thought he meant it was leaden, not leading. At least after seeing this Soundgarden won't feel so bad about their 5.9. If they look or care, that is.
I'm rather indifferent to Soundgarden, but their new album cover art coming among Christmas music, made me think their new album was a Christmas album, at least for a few seconds.
It's a shame. Their first album was good. I absolutely loved their second album. And then... ugh. Don't think I lost interest in a band that quickly since Dave Matthews Band released Before These Crowded Streets.
Interestingly, outside of Pitchfork the reviews for BoH have remained fairly steady.
- "The Jonah Complex is the fear of success which prevents self-actualization, or the realization of one's potential.[1][2] It is the fear of one's own greatness, the evasion of one's destiny, or the avoidance of exercising one's talents.[1][3] Just as the fear of achieving a personal worst can motivate personal growth, the fear of achieving a personal best can also hinder achievement"

Kate Bush, right BT? For some reason I've never paid much attention to her music. I really ought to.
I'll add Ms. Annie Clark:

A tough sell at age 56, but she brought the sexy to microtonal when playing with Kronos Quartet.
Kaki King
Sofia Talvik

How can you say something as great as this about an album:
(sounds awesome right?)
And then only give it a 4.5? Must be a mistake. Or dies not everyone love the idea of an old crud encrusted tape?

C'mon, everybody knows how to sing Iron Man:
DA-DA-DA-DA-DA
D-D-D-D-D-D-DA-DA-DA-DA, etc...

It's always funny until someone doesn't get their mixtape.

Sheep are just sheep. Some have complexes. And some need to spend less time on Wikipedia and more time awaiting my commands.
Jazz recs can come down the pipe at any moment. Sheep assemble! Assemble and obey!
(Man, I forgot how irritating the Pitchfork gig is. Gotta get an intern or something)
