Enjoy! -d&d xx
Berb’s Week’s End Thumbs Up
Although it varies, I can sometimes I go through a LOT of new music (for someone who is not paid to do so) every week. There’s often many things I’d like to share but don’t have the time, since I have to perfect and re-edit every single post numerous times (sometimes 20+). And so, to address that […]
Conner Youngblood – “Mercury” // Single (+ FREE DLs!)
https://soundcloud.com/conneryoungblood/mercury From: Dallas, USA Berb’s Rating: 5/5 – probably more, once his EP drops! If you like: R&Bon Iver I couldn’t take it. I was going to try a new self-imposed policy of waiting 24 hours before posting something since I occasionally get utterly swept up and overenthusiastic. But there’s really no mistaking this as anything […]
Berb’s Best of SXSW 2014: Hozier & D.D Dumbo
Since all my camera phone photos turned out terribly, the above are my pictures from previous years. With only 2 days allotted to partake in the SXSW madness this year, I had to unfortunately miss out on most of the shows I would have liked to see. With thousands of bands to choose from, my […]
Guests’ Best of SXSW 2014: Sylvan Esso, Jeremy Messersmith, Future Islands
Since I didn’t have an extensive SXSW experience this year, I’ve enlisted the help of a couple of friends to talk about some of their favorites. Sadie’s Favorites: Sylvan Esso (USA) Genre: electronic folk/pop On Thursday, March 12, we randomly decided to go to Holy Mountain because they had two stages, and we figured there’d […]
James Vincent McMorrow // Post Tropical (2014)
From: Ireland Berb’s Rating: 5/5 If you like: James Blake, Bon Iver, Patrick Watson (minus the warmth) – you know, all that soothing falsetto-voiced kinda stuff I came across this live recording that reminded me I need to update my thoughts on this album. You’ll have to disregard my first lukewarm post on “Cavalier,” another […]
Grab Bag Playlist feat. AViVAA, Dave Depper, The Aikiu, Inspired & the Sleep, etc.
This week features the latest tracks from previous grab bag favorites Prinze George, Glass Animals, and The Aikiu (though back with a totally different sound). I tried to post this last week, but I was in an odd funk where nothing sounded good except one song I probably listened to 20+ times (you’ll hear about […]
John Bassett // Unearth (Out March 31)
From: Hastings, UK Style: Prog-Rock, Folk, Acoustic, Psychedelic Rating: 3.5/5 (with some songs being 4-4.5/5) I wasn’t sure about this album at first, and while I don’t love the whole thing, it has provided the most interesting musical experience of 2014 so far. The value of this album for me is that Bassett has created […]
Golden Plains 2014: Gold Panda // The Orbweavers // Los Coronas
This was my first experience of a camping festival, and it was probably the most amazing introduction I could have, at least in Australia. No festival I’ve been to has had a more relaxed, friendly and inclusive atmosphere. Golden Plains is held at a farm in Victoria, Australia and is run on the principals of […]
Beirut – “Scenic World” & thoughts on my birthday
I unabashedly love birthdays, probably for the same reason I love Christmas: it’s a time when you get to do something special to show someone how much you love them. For my own, I don’t put all the weight on one day. Instead, I celebrate a full birthweek. This year I’ve been putting extra pressure […]
