over the past year, ive created a website called music is art, where i enjoy to feature musicians and visual artists that i adore. recently, musicisart shared a project called song/context/result that has personally felt important to turn into a continued series. starting with the small question of “tell me about a moment, a song and what it meant to you” seemed in taste to know how music can bring anyone privately back to a special memory.

i would be delighted if you may kindly like to be apart of this music project and for you to share your own personal story of reflection, so that in return someone else may be inspired and not feel alone. please be in touch if interested.

thankyou.

from norway, flunk has released their 3rd album personal stereo. the trio magically has always shared an electronic progression levelling inbetween time signatures of humbled acoustics and naturally beautiful female vocals. from everything they’ve ever done mixed within their apparent relaxed sense of style.. moving forward, they maintain their steady structure of sincere and colorful emotion.

flunk make perfect music for every season but calmly bring to mind the coming of summertime, being near a quiet ocean and feeling the sunlight shining brightly like white diamonds on water…

So the government felt i worked enough slave hours to get money back,

instead i put out my album,

I'm Darby and I'm new to this community.

Let me get to the point: I'm a little orphan Annie and I have my own apartment and I have a job and I go to school and I have absolutely no time to go to concerts, buy new albums by my favorite bands or, basically, have a life at all. And I'm only sixteen...well, I'll be seventeen on March 2nd, but still.

So, that means I need you people to give me news, updates, coverage on the concerts and every little crack between the cracks of everything!

My favorite bands are: the weakerthans, death cab for cutie, bright eyes, metric, the cure, queen and radiohead. That's what I can spit out of the top of my head right now.

kthanx

oh, and p.s., I totally dig the name of your community.

from montpelier, france, emilie simon is an award-winning composer of the soundtrack "la marche de l'empereur" (march of the penguins). referred to as the french bjork and sharing musical similarities of mum, emilie sings eloquently in french and english, experimenting with different instruments, blending raw live orchestrations with distinct electronica. critically acclaimed all over france, the rest of europe and japan, her us debut *the flower book* gathers old original recordings that delicately highlight her creativity.

Hi guys. I'm new here, but I wanted to put in a good word for Andi Starr. She is an amazing musician, not to mention one of the kindest and most "real" people I've ever known! Her style is fairly ecclectic, but probably best described as ethereal rock. Her voice and music are quite unique, though it has been described as "hauntingly beautiful", and at times compared to Tori Amos, Shawn Colvin, The Cowboy Junkies, and The Cranberries. She just released her 4th album, "Leaving the White Line", which is currently available at CD Baby. For those in the Portland, Oregon area, there is a CD release party coming up on Januray 26th. It's $10 in advance or $12 at the door, with the album included in the price of entry, and cellist Adam Hurst opening the show. Please, do yourself a favor and listen to the amazingly beautiful music of Andi Starr, which will touch your soul and open your heart.
