The Best Free Albums of 2010 < PopMatters

December 9, 2010 / Leave a Comment

Perhaps everything is free in the age of downloading, but more and more artists are releasing music free of charge. Or, rather, free of the idea of initially charging for music. Though it’s a tough environment for musicians to try and make a living, some artists—such as Brooklyn hip-hop duo Das Racist—have built and broadened … [Read more…]

The 60 Best Singles of 2010 < PopMatters

December 6, 2010 / Leave a Comment

The 60 Best Singles of 2010 < PopMatters. It’s end-of-the-year list time, and here’s the first offering: PopMatters “Best Singles of 2010.” I wrote about Here We Go Magic’s “Collector” and the Arcade Fire’s “Sprawl II.” The latter write-up can also be read in the Sacramento Bee‘s “Riff Report,” which focused on the list’s top … [Read more…]

November 30, 2010 / Leave a Comment

An indie band that dabbles in electronics, Brooklyn’s Home Video creates soothing, warm tones that are as indistinguishable from one another as they are forgettable. via Home Video: The Automatic Process < PopMatters. Not every album slated for a review is a winner. Oh well.

CIFF 2010: It’s All in the Family < PopMatters

October 20, 2010 / Leave a Comment

There are so many ways to tell a story about drama in the family: many of the films at this year’s Chicago International Film Festival do just that, to varying degrees of success. Some, like Polish Bar, stutter and fall flat, while A Screaming Man and All That I Love manage to show something of … [Read more…]
