So, Los Angeles has approved the building of a new development near the almost iconic Capitol Records building. The condo development, planned for 6230 Yucca Boulevard, was part of some big hubbub earlier this summer. EMI–along with the everpresent Hollywood preservationists–worried that the act of constructing the building, including the planned underground parking garage, would damage the acoustics [...]

So, Last.fm, always on the verge of the new, launched their Artist Royalty Program back in January, allowing unsigned musicians to collect royalties when their music is loaded into Last.fm’s music brain and then streamed by it’s users; actually i think anybody can listen. Which may lead to some click fraud, but that’s just a theory flying [...]

On his sophomore album, David Ford takes his diary, empties it out, and tries to convey to the listener the turmoil of his new-found self-awareness and wanting for things that may have been, up until now, unattainable. He swimmingly croons through a sea of relationship-laden tracks as if David Gray was sitting on a lifeguard tower ready to jump in and save him with some of his own British electro-pop styled mouth-to-mouth.

Unlike most of the trendy-dance rock, flash-in-the-pan bands who “pay to play” on Sunset, these guys actually have some really fresh musical sense and weight to their music. They put together some noisy, abstract, energetic rock that would probably sound at home on both a label like DFAor some underground punk imprint from early 1990s [...]

Sometimes, however, it is a genre-bending opus that completely turns a Genre’s Classic into [...]

It seems that the “Record Nerds” that converge in a community center in Downtown Buena Park every month for the Vinyl Shows, we here at eargoggles included, are way ahead of the curve here. Or is it behind the future? Back to the fu??ture… Anyway, as recent studies have shown, vinyl records are the “new” [...]
