[SOTD] Paper Diamond’s “From Now Till…”
Paper Diamond is the latest member of the Pretty Lights Record Label. His style is a mix of breakbeats, spacey synths and some hard bumps along the way. In his debut EP, Levitate, Paper Diamond drops eight solid tracks as a good indicator of what’s to come, but one track stands above the rest. Paper Diamond: “From Now Till…” Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Downlo…

Interview with Broken Social Scene: Justin Peroff
…k some of the bands. I’m pretty inquisitive as a person as it is, so it’s not a departure from me as an individual, but I guess I’m sensitive to the questions that I ask. I’m in the situation sometimes. SFC: I was looking for interviews with you, and couldn’t find many. Are you interviewed often? JP: I don’t do a ton. At first when we started touring, almost ten years ago now, when we started to get interviews and what not, I chose not to. Now I’…

Poor Lily
…view with SPIN magazine or Observer Music Monthly and they might syndicate those pictures or sell them to other magazines. These magazines will then print those pictures alongside a whole bunch of quotes lifeted from previous interviews. This can be incredibly misleading and tedious as I would never sit down and do an interview with most of the tabloidy magazines. I’ve been trying t clamp down on this more recently, and now, when I do a photo sho…

Interview with Pavement (Scott Kannberg)
…n that once was pulling the group apart. Is there any truth in that? Scott Kannberg (SK): With Pavement, we always did everything that people asked to do. We’d go to a town after traveling eight hours and go do three hours of interviews; that stuff just starts tiring you out and making your grumpy. There was definitely some tension in Pavement at the end, but I think it was just people were not having fun. At the time, I didn’t like to accept tha…

In light of yesterday’s discussion concerning the future of music labels, and blogs potentially path towards becoming a label, I stumbled upon this relevant panel discussion with bloggers and label executives. This discussion consists of notable bloggers Daily Swarm, DiscoBelle, and label representatives from Fool’s Gold and True Panther. Talking like this makes you think the whole world is listening.

Bad Boy Not So Bad
… best hip hop, most notably Notorious B.I.G. and Mase. Some might say the artist were really bad boys as the feud between B.I.G. and Tupac led to both artists’ deaths. Since their deaths a lot has changed for the record label. Puffy Daddy had one “amazing” (do I need to explain the quotes?) album, while fellow label mates Black Rob, 112, Faith Evans and Total had their fifteen minutes of fame, and “Like Whoa!” were g…

Kate Nash Interview: A Woman’s Way
… also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser. SFCritic (SFC): Your new album is edgier and more punk than your previous album. Was there a need to conform during your first album to get your name out? Were the record labels trying to shape you? Kate Nash (KN): My old record was way more about story telling. It felt happier in different ways. It’s more naïve as well. Then I went through shit with the music industry, because it’s a crappy …

All Grown Up: An Interview with Kid Sister
… “Really?”– can you imagine living your life like this, that’s so weird.SFS: This is true.KS: One of my girlfriends Sam — she’s my best friend that I travel with and she’s my tour manager. When she’s around during interviews she never butts in or says anything. The one thing she will chime in on is when an interviewer asks, “So Melissa, you’re really not provocative. Do you always find yourself being wholesome?” That’s just who I am. …

Perezfest 2k9 or Ladyhawk at the Fillmore (9/30/2009)
…Ladyhawke’s live show draws many more similarities with music’s other iconic front women of Stevie Nicks or Chrissy Hind. While the album makes full use of a variety of tools (Brown describes herself frequently in interviews as a “gadget freak”), the live sound is pure, well executed classic rock. The singles “Paris is Burning” and “My Delirium” inspired the crowd to move, either because they were t…
