MOGstars: 8 out of 10 Hold Time is somewhat of a misnomer for the latest album from M Ward, the Portland troubadour and She & Him collaborator; here time is something to be travelled through, not grasped. Following in the wake of 2006's Post War, which openly drew from 1940s sources, he has now taken a path that flits from the nascent rock'n'roll of the 50s to the polished sounds of Spector's ...

SUTC - Oh Lonesome Me

Artist:

Album:

Track:
Here's a version of this song like I've never heard before. It's slow, pensive, has a Lou Reed kind of vibe IMHO. However, the vocals by Lucinda Williams take it to another level altogether. Listen and you will see.

Track:
Time is playing tricks on me. It's both speeding by and standing still all in the same moment but then again a moment of time is still a measurement of it, so time must be progressing whether or not I have anything to do with it. Funny, I don't remember looking so old.The great M. Ward does a cover of the great Buddy Holly's "Rave On".Buddy Holly - Rave On (Reefer Madness clip)

I'm obsessed (a rant)

Artist:
-
Album:Post - War
-
Track:
I did not have the bucks to continually delve into the new records of 2007. So here are just a few thoughts.I did not have any singular compelling dance or electronic record strike me, which was disappointing. That might explain my increasing fondness for reggae and dub, it was the best place to get that melody and rhythm fix.So obviously without much good electronic I listened to a lot of roc...

Track:
It was a grand weekend in the San Francisco clubs for this particular music freak (And no, I’m not talking about the sold-out Slim’s show by rising “American Idol” also-ran Chris Daughtry and his band, whose overly-earnest vocals and pre-fab populist hard-rock sound are as tiresome and played-out as pop clichés can be.) The true sonic splendor came by way of two marvelous acts: of Montrea

Song of the Day: M. Ward - "Let's Dance"
-
Artist:
-
Album:
-
Track:
M. Ward's wrapped his third album, 2003's The Transfiguration of Vincent, with a gleaming cover of David Bowie's "Let's Dance".The spare arrangement of Ward's molasses-coated vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica, and a few tinkles of dissonant piano turn Bowie's histrionic disco/R&B hit into an affecting slow dance. Absent the original's harmony choirs, synthesizers and guitar solos, the tune un...
