Laura – This Grey Earth
Set your speakers to 11 as Laura comes at you with a wall of noise. Epic guitar riffs and ethereal vocals (which almost lull you into a sense of security) before you’re hit with a wall of sound from the guitars. Definitely a one-two punch combo I’ll be coming back for more of. I love it when the music gets rough. Yeow.

Genre: Jazz, Free Jazz | Label: Intuition | Original Release Date: 1995
Devoting almost an entire CD to unaccompanied bass solos would seem to be a big mistake, but Glen Moore has the imagination and the skill to enable him to pull it off. “Oxeye” is a rhythmic masterpiece with the flavor of a folk song, while his sense of humor comes across in the strident miniature “If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Beat ‘Em! (for Tonya Harding)” and the equally sly “Four Queasy Pieces.” A haunting rendition of the tragically short-lived bassist Scott LaFaro’s “Jade Visions” is the only track not written by Moore. Although this release is likely to be most appreciated by bassists, it is worth exploring by all. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide

Arlen’s Basics Blog: Working in a Music Store!
Sometimes, in many small and large towns alike, it can be a real plus for an aspiring player to work in a music store. It seems that whenever I visit a shop, it’s definitely manned by some folks who are in local bands, and who of course, would rather be out playing or recording somewhere, but it’s a good job for them! It’s a good thing because this job keeps you in and around the music you love, and it can offer you opportunities, in terms of who you may meet, and what you may get to hear!

Say ‘I Love You’ With a Taylor Swift Greeting Card

Taylor Swift likes to sing about love – falling in love, falling out of love, unrequited love, getting revenge on a former love. Now she’s helping fans say ‘I love you’ through her new line of Valentine’s Day greeting cards. There are 43 American Greeting cards to choose from and some feature Taylor’s songs, including “Love Story,” “Jump Then Fall,” and “Stay Beautiful.” There is a card for a girlfriend, but also a card for a best friend.
“It’s interesting how you think you’re the only person going through something, and then you realize that there are millions of other people who have felt that exact same way at that exact same time in their life and… it’s just so interesting to me that we all are so drawn to love and we cannot stay away from it. It’s a flame and we cannot stay away,” Taylor said.
Taylor is currently singing her songs about love, heartbreak and everything in between live for fans during her 2011 Speak Now World Tour, which kicked off Feb. 9. Tonight, she’s in Seoul, South Korea. You can check out her line of Valentine’s Day greeting cards here.

Smoke Fairies Live
It’s the last night of the Smoke Fairies tour. They’re quiet, they look a little weathered (although beautiful as always) and are probably looking forward to a long sleep… but not tonight. Tonight’s it’s London’s Scala, playing to a packed audience and following two bright young things in support, namely the new Frank Spencer of the excitable folky world, Sea of Bees, and sweetness and light Lucy Rose.
The supports are superb. Sea of Bees has been making some waves on the alt-folk circuit of late with her squarky and quirky vocals subtly bobbing over cutesie melodies. Despite hearing her album, I wasn’t expecting this, even with the Myspace description of Japanese pop! She’s odder than she sounds on record and fascinating to watch most of the time, but there are a few hide your face in your hands moments where the quirkiness morphs into something reminiscent of watching a child in their first school play. Cringe! Minor theatrics aside, Sea of Bees is great and she definitely wins a few followers out here.
Pretty as a picture Lucy Rose is a stark contrast, but a lovely one. Her voice oozes innocence, but with a husky richness. Dare I say it, I teeny bit Dido-esque, but without so much shitness and dullness. But tonight’s sweetness isn’t really down to her, but the four gents who have joined her on stage. The cellist and drummer especially made Lucy’s good side of average songs something a little more magical.
But of course the night belonged to two other ladies, whose presence, coolness and song writing blew the supports out of the water. Country girls Katherine and Jessica couldn’t be further from the image of two Sussex folk musicians. They’ve refined their blend of English folk and American blues to make something that sounds dark, almost sinister, capturing years of influences from the likes of PJ Harvey. Their voices, teetering on some well-to-do middle England, blend together beautifully, contrasting the slight filth in their flawless guitar playing. It’s wonderful.
The finest moments from last year’s ‘Through Low Light’ and ‘Trees’ make it into the set and stand out, especially ‘Devil in my Mind’ and ‘Eerie Lackawanna’.
‘Gastown’, with its almost operatic choral intro, is one of the highlights of the night; it’s juxtaposition of varying styles throughout keeps every pair of Scala eyes transfixed. The slide playing in ‘Living with Ghosts’ is also sublime, bringing a new depth to a sound that, while mesmerising, can get a little monotonous too.
The night ends with a cover of Killing Joke’s ‘Requiem’, a much more raucous affair than the Smoke Fairies’ own songs. But it slightly kills the mood for me – I wanted to be left with that sense of misty eeriness that this pair creates so well.

24 Hour Trend Alert: Golden Gowns

Talk about gilding the lily! It was all about gold on Sunday night at the Grammy Awards in L.A. and the BAFTA Awards in London, Kim Kardashian, Heidi Klum and Girl with the Dragon Tattoo‘s Noomi Rapace shone in the metallic hue. But blinging babes beware: A gown in get-noticed gold is not for the faint of heart. “They tailored it to where my whole butt wouldn’t fit into it. The designers had to come in and fix the whole thing!” Kardashian lamented to Ryan Seacrest of her Kaufman Franco design. Similarly, Klum’s slinky Julien Macdonald design, which she paired with python Christian Louboutins, was an equally fitted column complete with a dare-to-bare slit. Across the pond, BAFTA best actress nominee Rapace channeled bad girl Lisbeth Salander in a curve hugging, corseted Givenchy Haute Couture gown and studded, metal belt.
