The “Christian” singer that brought us the hit “Baby, Baby” and an amazing cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Big Yellow Taxi,” is back on the scene! The new album Somewhere Down The Road was supposed to be a greatest hits collection, but Amy Grant has to release some new material. Click here to read the details.
It’s the year of the tiger ya’ll. And it’s 4707. 2010 is the Year of the Tiger,
which is also known by its formal name of Geng Yin.
Ani DiFranco, one of the most prolific artists of our era, has been slowing down lately. With the new baby in tow and an extensive touring schedule who has time to record a full-length album anymore? Well, she’s not releasing 2 albums a year, but she sure has been writing a whole lot following the release of Red Letter Year.
This song (above) is called “If You’re Not” and it is bringing the folkie back in DiFranco. The rest of the tracks don’t stray too far away, but their studio re-interpretations will probably have more instrumentation. There are six new songs floating around, which is half an album. Let’s hope that a new record is in the works for the forth quarter of 2009. Click below for some more new music from Ms. Defazio.
Don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
As the world stays wide alert about this epidemic that is responsible for killing 50 a century ago and hopes it will not turn into a pandemic, the non-sensical conservatives are at it again. On one side the American conservatives are touting stricter border control regulations and a crackdown on immigration to curb this epidemic which has allegedly spread from Mexico. One the other, the islamist fundamentalists, beardists, fanatics or whatever you want to call them these days, are glorifying it as some sign from the heavens that pork is all kinds of evil.
I don’t get why her music is an apple, if she is allergic.
Love, Save The Empty is Erin McCarley’s debut album and it is a mixture of pompous folk and moody rock. It is like a cross between Sheryl Crow, KT Tunstall and Chantal Kreviazuk. My current favorites are “Blue Suitcase” and “Sticky Sweet.” I watched he perform live on David Letterman and she was great. I am looking forward to listening more.

This has to be the best political commentary about the elections I have heard in a while. Even if this is old, it still rings true to the times. She is always so profound and succinct.
