On the heels of their excellent session with The Laundromatinee and performance on Conan O'Brien , Margot & The Nuclear So and Sos absolutely blow my mind with this rendition of As Tall As Cliffs . Our friends over at La Blogotheque are pure genius. Beautiful work. They're also joined in the performance by David Vandervelde and Judgement Day . If you haven't checked either or both out...

photo cred: Faith-Ann Young (via ) You may or may not have seen these guys in yesterday's SIRIUS XMU/MOKB Blog Radio playlist, so if you missed them, I want to give them a little special attention.

The band has a new album coming out next March, but has a few plans for the holidays...outside of Jof's obsessions. BTW, these guys always ha...

Will Johnson is a simple man with simple pleasures (24 hours of A Christmas Story - hello!). He's quiet and polite. You can tell he's always thinking. When I met Will Johnson this year, I liked him immediately. He was relaxed and kind, easy to talk to. He is a man of many projects and obviously passionate about his calling. It's tough to figure what he does best, how to sell him. His ...

David Adamson cut his teeth in more straight-forward music projects like Archer Avenue (Richard Edwards', of Margot & The Nuclear So & Sos, first band) and BIGBIGcar. He's since moved from the background to create his own self-styled, unique project, Grampall Jookabox . It is one that blends all the many types of music of interest to Adamson. Dubbed "jungle-folk", Adamson blends hip-hop, ...
