Art Linton

I started writing this one Sunday, finished on Monday night, late night, like 2am or so. Thinking of that Rev. Gary Davis tune and also maybe The Stones "Beast of Burden" somewhere in the mix. Dedicated to the late and great Adam Mewherter. Thanks for all your kind words and brief friendship, Adam. I wish I'd gotten to know you a little better, amigo. Ciao for now. Grace, mercy and peace to you and yours. Fly on.

C.W. Ross Review: Kirsten DeHaan - Thorns On A Crown

nobody@vox.com(MusicDish) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 10:26:27 -0700

Url: http://kirstendehaan.musicdish.net
Sound: http://www.facebook.com/kdlocal

Artist: Kirsten DeHaan
Title: Thorns On A Crown EP
Website: http://www.kdlocal.com
Style: Alt Rock/ Singer Songwriter
Label: SirLady Records
Rating: 8.5 out of 10
By C.W. Ross
http://cwsplace.wordpress.com/2009/10/03/kirsten-dehaan-thorns-on-a-crown/

The year 2004 was when Kirsten DeHaan first started to make her mark on the Indie music scene with the release of her debut album, Conform. DeHaan also started the New York Indie Rock Launch in 2006 to bring the best New York artists of various rock genres together, repeating the series again in 2007 and 2008 and continues to help promote the New York indie music scene. She also works to support American soldiers in the Middle East. DeHaan is also an entrepreneur running her own label, SirLady Records.

Thorns On A Crown is the latest release from Kirsten DeHaan and on it you'll find 5 tracks of music that offer up a variety of styles.

Things get started with the track, "1984," a song that offers up a 60's alt. rock feel thanks to the retro-guitar parts that are found on it.

Track-2, "Double or Nothing," is a lively track that mixes just a touch of a folk edge in to its light rock beats.

Track-3, "The Night Shift," starts out as a melodic acoustic guitar song until the 2:20 mark when the drum beats instantly speed up changing the song's tempo.

Thorns On A Crown ends on a very high note with the songs, "I'm Coming Home," and "Ms. Daisy."

Track-4, "I'm Coming Home," is a harmonica filled track that gives off a folk-rock vibe. For me this song also worked best to showcase DeHaan's vocals.

Track-5, "Ms. Daisy" finishes things up nicely with its melodious sound that also highlights DeHaan's vocals.

Kirsten DeHaan has nice vocals that are very pleasant sounding and match well with the songs found on her latest release, Thorns On A Crown.

The New Generation Of Brazilian Music Is Successfully Singing In English

nobody@vox.com(MusicDish) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 09:49:42 -0700

Url: http://www.myspace.com/riverdies

Rio de Janeiro - What before was seen like a bias, today is the reality. Some Brazilian artists of the new generation prefer to use the English to do their songs. This change at the market can be proved at the VMB (Video Music Brazil), an awards of the MTV Brazil, that elects the principal names of music. This year, some categories like Artist of the Year, Best Video clip and Revelation had musicians singing in English.

To sing using other language is a reality that reaches Brazilian artists since some time ago. Carmen Miranda had her career among Brazil and United States, and Tom Jobim had his “Girl of Ipanema” sung by important artists like Frank Sinatra and Madonna. Than was the time of the rock and roll to win the world, Sepultura and Angra were the first musicians to be part of this, but they have been successful initially at other countries to later been known at Brazil. The same thing happened to the group “Cansei de Ser Sexy”, that played their music all over the world, but are not much know at their original country.

Actually, a new generation of musicians pretends to enter this list, the difference is that before travel around the world, they want to attract the Brazilian fans. Mallu Magalhães, Black Drawing Chalks, Holger e Mickey Gang sings in English and were indicated to the VMB. Most of them started at the independent market showing their sound at YouTube and My Space. The producer of VMH Studio, Eden, believes that the bands from the 80s until now had a bigger recognition at other countries, to later be known at Brazil. Today, the process is different: “The musicians sing in English here, than use alternative media to be known at their own country”.

Another band that is getting prepared to be part of this market is the Riverdies. The musicians writes their lyrics naturally in English, they say that is because they already feel familiar with the sound of the idiom. Besides that, the group has influences of international artists like Pearl Jam, Silverchair and Stone Temple Pilots. The decision to choose other language helped them to receive invitations to play at Europe and at the U.S.A, but the group don`t stop to play at Brazil.

Session 606

nobody@vox.com(Neesh) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 04:42:52 -0700

Session 606 is the solo project of 21 year old singer/songwriter/guitarist/musical genius, Anthony Masington

Hailing from Feasterville Trevose, Pennsylvania - Ant Mas spent the first half of 2009 where the music lead him - Kingston, NY. There is where he began to record his debut. He found himself working with David "Wavis" Parker (original live Coheed and Cambria keyboard player + Weerd Science collaborator + producer) and inevitably ran into session drummer (and original Coheed and Cambria drummer) Josh Eppard. The three of them meshed so well, they ended up forming Mours. Currently that project is on the backburner while Ant is continuing to work on his record (unfortunately the files with Josh drumming on the Session 606 material has been absorbed in the ethers of small town hell) and while Josh is pursuing his sophomore Weerd Science release, Sick Kids. They continue to work together with Ant performing guitar live with Weerd Science.

Here's a bunch of the Session 606 demos:
