Here it is folks; The Official Bonnaroo Theme Song.  It’s that time a year when the magic in the air blows on down to Tennessee for the festival of a lifetime.  With a host of awe inspiring acts, this year’s festival is bound to be one to write home about.  Although I doubt much writing will be done amidst all the wild festival-ling.  Check out the Official video below…

Larry And His Flask features a blurry blend of lightning fast string-band picking, gorgeous nods to old-school country, and sublime multi-part harmonies, all presented through a prism of punk chaos. These country boys from Bend, OR, are gloriously physical displays of live music’s sheer power. Keep your eyes peeled for the next leg of the band’s life-long tour, or risk taking the heavy end of Jesse Marshall’s flailing stand-up bass right between the eyes.

Just Encoded: Oddisee – “Rock Creek Park”

08
Jun
2011

373999 72 Just Encoded: Oddisee Rock Creek ParkArtist: Oddisee
Title: Rock Creek Park
Label: Mello Music Group
Genre: Hip-Hop : Rap
UPC: 659123015028
Territory: World
Release Date: 8.09.11

Oddisee, since inception, has been a consistent rhythmical force, more like a steady rolling, beat grinding machine, slash emcee, slash producer.  Just a few months after the release of Odd Seasons (which was no small feat), the artist has yet another head nodding collection of fire.  Rock Creek Park is comprised of mostly instrumentals that have the same incredible soul infused feel that one will come to expect from the beat magician who is anything but stingy with his art.  Odd Seasons was a rare treat for fans consisting of an unprecedented and unbelievable amount of tracks (32) for any artist in this day and age.  Don’t miss the free promo track from the album Traveling Man after the jump…

from “Lonely Twin”

Featured Artist: Hospital ShipsIf Oh, Ramona was Jordan Geigerʼs bedroom-pop debut album, then Lonely Twin is the sound of Geigerʼs Hospital Ships solo project moving up to a three-room suite. Exploding outward on album opener “Love Or Death,” Geiger gives voice to those “…on the outside, always looking in,” while injecting enough electronic beats, buzzing organ riffs, and joyous hand claps to elevate this sophomore Hospital Ships album from modest humility to self-assured confidence.

Perhaps thatʼs because Geiger, a native of Lawrence, Kansas, former member of Shearwater and the Appleseed Cast, and principal member of the now-defunct Minus Story, has taken the fractured Midwestern influences of The Flaming Lips and Bright Eyes to fresh new heights. “Honey Please” is a rollicking slice of queasy, off-kilter rock, but tender tracks like “Bird In Furs” and “Phantom Limb” revisit Geigerʼs bedroom strengths: intimate, majestic moments of indie-pop beauty that rise and fall with the crescendos and valleys of his high-pitched tenor.

Featured Label: Reimagine Music

06
Jun
2011

Reimagine Music Logo Blue With Shadow 631x138 Featured Label: Reimagine MusicWhen admired indie music producer Jim Sampas conceived a new label of his own, he had a clear vision in mind: a venture that would offer an homage to decades of great rock music and employ the best talents – established and emerging – to pay those respects.

Reimagine Music celebrates its first year of operation in October and in its short life the label has already begun to meet those stringent demands, keen aspirations, and exacting standards, Sampas had in mind for his independent record label from the very start.

And it appears to be paying off. Popular cover music blog Cover Lay Down writes that Reimagine’s most recent release ‘Paint It Black: An Alt Country Tribute To The Rolling Stones’ is “…another great addition to the Sampas canon…Each track is a gem, each transition another revelation: everything fits, and everything works. It’s like listening to your favourite late-night radio station when the DJ is in the perfect groove.”

Reimagine Music’s slogan is “Legendary Works Reborn.” All of the label’s releases channel the works of legendary musicians such as Bob Dylan and The Rolling Stones and reinterpret them with the help of artists such as Sea Wolf, Asobi Seksu, The Morning Benders, Cowboy Junkies, Everest, Great Lake Swimmers and so many more. We recently featured their Alt-Country tribute to the Stones, “Paint It Black,” which has caught the attention of the media including Pitchfork, The Huffington Post, Rolling Stone and Paste Magazine. This week, we sat down with acclaimed producer and Reimagine founder, Jim Sampas, and asked him a few questions about his unique independent label.
