Saddle Creek Records have always embraced the strong, empowered females singers (Orenda Fink, Jenny Lewis, Maria Taylor) and the tradition continues with Elizabeth Powell in the recent release of Land of Talk’s Some Are Lakes.

It’s a story that would easily fit on these pages, so I won’t call it long, just private. The conclusion to it is me making a CD for someone I met through the Junior League of Los Angeles. If you know me, and you know the Junior League, you will understand how utterly fucken unlikely [...]

Young Natalie Walker's story plays out like an afterschool special. She was raised in Indiana by a God-fearing family and broke free like a songbird to start her onstage career, with thanks to the sad ballads of Beth Orton, freakish croons of Beth Gibbons, and self-critical melodies of Fiona ...

I’m not talking about the Genius Bar at retail Apple stores (although I love that, too)… I’m referring to the new features in iTunes 8. My purchase rate has definitely shot up since the addition of the Genius Sidebar that appears alongside my song list - yet another testament to the value of good [...]

Old chums and videomates Zach and Fiona make a promo. "Up In Them Guts" comes to us via the giving hands of the ever-great Chunklet magazine which -- after a three year wait -- is set to release its 20th issue. This "ultra-danceable track" is one side of a Chunklet-commissioned 7" that pairs perfectly with the mag's new installment: both feature Galifianakis, and both also feature a primer on trans-Atlantic...

With his West Seattle home studio in the midst of an overhaul, Matt Chamberlain's temporary studio space is in Belltown, and he's a bit apologetic about it. There are a few "kids" downing beers and pulling on cigarettes on the inside steps of the building, and a metal band i...

Last week, in tribute to all the artists who were in trouble with the law, we asked our readers to tell us their favorite Crime Songs.

Artist on Artist: Brian Wilson & Zooey Deschanel I haven't been too interested in these Myspace 'Artist on Artist' things - though the one with Fiona Apple and Zach Galifianakis was pretty hilarious - but this one certainly caught my eye. My favorite Beach Boy and my favorite indie film/music ingenue & M Ward collaborator? Can't [...]
