I’ve recently been listening to local singer/songwriter Haroula Rose’s debut solo EP, Someday. Her beautiful vocals on “Lay Me Down” reminds me a little bit of Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch – but her sound is more indie than country. After several successful gigs at SXSW, Rose will begin work on a full-length LP that will be released later this year. You can catch Haroula in New York and Los Angeles in late May and June.
Upcoming Shows:
May 24th @ Zebulon in Brooklyn
June 30th @ Crane’s in Los Angeles

Colin Greenwood
Radiohead entered the studio last week with longtime producer Nigel Godrich to star work on their eighth album. Bassist Colin Greenwood spoke to NME.com about the project, saying, “It’s really cool and everything is sounding great. It’s early days and it is a bit like having a scrapbook at the moment because everything is up in the air, but it’s good to be back in the studio.”

Digital Music News Reports:
“The industry gave up its fight against MP3s, thanks to its universality and ease-of-use. But are consumers ready for a more sophisticated format?
Apple has its unprotected AAC, a superior format. But what about something that offers interactivity, greater multimedia, and content updates? In Paris, MXP4 is pushing itself as an evolutionary next step, and drawing backers into the effort. Over the weekend, the company pointed Digital Music News to a $2.5 million round led by Sofinnova Partners and Ventech. Additionally, former Vivendi Mobile Entertainment executive Albin Serviant is jumping in as CEO, and Albin Serviant and JJ Cecillon are joining the board.” Continue Reading at DMN

Cory Doctorow of Boing Boing reports:
EMI has told Danger Mouse that his latest CD won’t see the light of day due to “legal issues,” so he’s responding by releasing the disc as a blank CD-R in a jewel case with art and liner notes. Fans can just download the music off a P2P site and burn it to the CD-R.
Dark Night Of The Soul, a collaboration with rock group Sparklehorse, also features Iggy Pop and The Flaming Lips, along with artwork by David Lynch.
It has already been streamed online, but Billboard magazine said a “legal dispute” with EMI derailed the project…
“Danger Mouse remains hugely proud of Dark Night of the Soul and hopes that people lucky enough to hear the music, by whatever means, are as excited by it as he is.” Continue Reading at Boing Boing
