A Rubber Door (Free subscription) | 24/11/2009
The top albums of the decade. This is opinion and for some reason 2005 was my favorite year of the decade in music. It shows in this list. I could listen to these albums, and only these albums, from now to the end of time and continue to find something wonderful and new in each [...]

Don’t Forget to Pre-Order Coalesce OXEP Vinyl
BUZZGRINDER (Free subscription) | 20/11/2009
As if having new Coalesce material wasn’t reason enough to change your pants, the ability to own said material on vinyl certain is. That’s why someone should pre-order the OXEP 12-inch for me, today being my birthday and all. The only crappy part is that you can’t order any of the clear version of the [...]

My Mind’s Racing from Chasing Pirates
Scooter McGavin's 9th Green (Free subscription) | 17/11/2009
Norah Jones gets a rap of being overtly mellow. And for the most part it is warranted. But a funny thing happened on the way to your mother’s record collection: she somehow becomes a favorite among rappers. She sang hooks for Outkast , Wyclef Jean , Talib Kweli , and Q-Tip and was named checked by Kanye West . While her fourth album The Fall doesn’t feature any hip hop beats, Jones has...

Music Alliance Pact :: November 2009
i guess i'm floating (Free subscription) | 16/11/2009
Once more, here is November's edition of the Music Alliance Pact . For those of you who don't know about MAP, it's a collection of music blogs from around the world who band together once a month to shed light on up-and-comers from their home countries. It's sort of like the WTO without the human rights violations. No new MAP countries were added for this edition, so we're sitting solid at 34 countries....

The Friday Mixtape: Parlour to Parlour Edition
Popdose (Free subscription) | 13/11/2009
If you’ve been following the Parlour to Parlour series here at Popdose, you may remember the featured artist from a few weeks back, the Spring Heeled Jacks Original Swinging Jass Band, as that rare indie band that doesn’t play live. Not only are they the one strictly “studio” act in the series so far, they’re [...]

Welcome back to The Queue , WoW.com's daily Q&A column where the WoW.com team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Mike Sacco will be your host today.

A Young lady in {not your average} trench coat ~ Comme des Garcons
MISTER MORT (Free subscription) | 13/11/2009
This girl reminds me of Fiona Apple. I'd love to have Sunday brunch with her go for a stroll in the Park, and go to the Whitney so she can tell me how she feels about Georgia O'Keefe. She would be wearing this outfit.

I Want My Music Television vol. LXVIII
Scooter McGavin's 9th Green (Free subscription) | 12/11/2009
There have been a couple of videos that have caught my eye lately so I thought I’d give them some love since the death of Musical Television left a void for a forum on the art form. If you are interested in buying the video through iTunes, click the title link (where available). If you are interested in buying the song, look for a link in the analysis. Chasing Pirates – Norah Jones It hard...

Fiona Apple Gets Wordy: Wake-Up Video
MTV Newsroom (Free subscription) | 09/11/2009
With Lilith Fair returning next year, perhaps it's time for Fiona Apple to make a comeback. The feisty singer-songwriter whose debut album became a smash on the back of big singles "Criminal," "Sleep to Dream" and "Shadowboxer" proved that young women didn't have to be overly sexy or buttoned-down to make it big in pop [...]

My 20 Top Albums of 2000-2009
Spatula Forum (Free subscription) | 09/11/2009
So apparently it's like nearly a new decade or something. Or maybe not. I still get confused with the 9s and the 0s and so forth as to what is numerically proper. But anyhoo, many bloggers lately have been making with the decade-end lists , and you know I love a good list. So how about my Favorite 20 Records of the 2000s'* *By the way I think it's really really weird that now that the decade is nearly...

TheCelebrityCafe.com (Free subscription) | 08/11/2009
- Erin McCarley grew up in a suburb of Dallas, Texas called Garland. Her parents did a good job raising her and her sister in a happy home. Her days were filled with dance and choir rehearsal. But her ideal childhood led her to unrealistic views of the world and she had to deal with a wake-up later in life. What came from the life wake-up call is Erin McCarley’s debut album, Love, Save the Empty.Erin’s...
