I wasn’t planning on writing about the same artist twice, but this song just came onto my radar today and god damn it was too good not to share. Glass Animals covered Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” for Australian radio station triple j on Thursday and I love it. It is a unique take on already great […]

The British group have influenced innumerable important figures in today’s dance music scene, and inspired remixes from the likes of Gesaffelstein, Eric Prydz, and Boys Noize – among many others. In October, Depeche Mode announced that they would release Spirit in […]

If you grew up in the 80’s George Michael‘s music was omnipresent. From Wham‘s quite hilarious yet incredibly smart and infectious take on pop through to Faith and then onto the 90’s with the Freedom supermodel song. He was a huge deal. His voice was silky smooth, he was a great songwriter and a handsome man. […]

There are some singer/songwriters whose music stays with you long after hearing it, drawing you back for another listen. Chris Watkins and his band Drunk Poets make that kind of music, reminiscent of Bob Dylan, Shawn Mullins and Lou Reed – simple, pure and honest, but always with a compelling story.

Hailing from Alaska, which he still calls home, Watkins formed his original version of the Drunk Poets band when he was just 16 years old. He has continued performing and recording under the band name Drunk Poets – with various members – throughout the years and up to…

It’s the cheerful time of the year for family and loved ones to gather round, read Dickens, drink hot cocoa, and sing carols by the fireplace; it’s when girls get to dress up as skimpy santas and a fat wino can have a job as long as he looks good in a red suit. For this holiday special, SoundOpen would like to invite the charismatic C2 and the Brothers Reed to tell a little about the band’s making, what to expect, as well as a few seasonal quirks. And then we’ll decide whether they’ve been naughty or nice…

What started as a solo musical endeavor of Athens, Georgia native Kristine Leschper has turned into a promising band that we now know as Mothers. Earlier this year they released their rather lovely debut offering, “When You Walk a Long Distance You Are Tired”, via Grand Jury Music. The group first caught my attention last […]

IDAHO SPRINGS Mark Morris hopes his new Django in Georgetown event will do for gypsy jazz what his Clear Creek RapidGrass festival has done locally for modern bluegrass. He is bringing the world’s “hottest” gypsy swing band to the Georgetown Heritage Center, Nov. 11-12, in an effort to spread the genre of music, its audience […]
I purchased Leonard Cohen’s new album You Want It Darker on Friday, and have listened to it a few times now. It is to be frank an astonishing record that slowly reveals itself. The language is restrained and precise, but still with a depth and gravity that isn’t easily comparable to other artists. What I […]
