Kelle Groom recently agreed to an interview with myself and 32 Poems . And here is what she had to say. How would you introduce yourself to a crowded room eager to hang on your every word? Are you just a poet, what else should people know about you? I also write personal essays/memoir. For the last year, I’ve been poetry editor for The Florida Review , and have now shifted into an advisory editor...

Graphic designer Daniel Guerra from Sorocaba, Brazil, recently gave us an insight into the possibilities of concer poster design. The vintage illustrations for musicians such as Radiohead, Cicatriz, Jeff Buckley or Damine Rice are appealing, and inspiring at the same time. 2 Vote(s)

Last year, the AV Club ran an article based on something they saw somewhere else -- which is essentially a highbrow meme -- where they picked a favorite album for each year they've been alive . Of course, I think it's kind of a neat idea. So, here are my favorite albums for each year that I've been alive: 1975: Fleetwood Mac, Fleetwood Mac 1976: Hotel California, The Eagles 1977: Rumours, Fleetwood...

In the same way that when she covers Hallelujah, she is clearly covering Jeff Buckley’s version of Leonard Cohen’s song, when Washington singer/songwriter Brandi Carlile took on “Mad World” at Portland’s Schnitzer Hall last Thursday night, she was wailing her way through Gary Jules’ unsettlingly sad version (from Donnie Darko) of the Tears for Fears [...]

Anders and Jonas of the Swedish metal band Katatonia sat down in London a couple of weeks ago to discuss a few of their major influences in regards to their upcoming album Night is the New Day. They mention artists such as Fields of the Nephilim, the late, great Jeff Buckley and The Cure among others as having some influence on the direction they decided to take on this new album. Check out the video...

91. System Of A Down - Mezmerize (American/Columbia Records, 2005) I don’t know if metal people consider this band metal because I am not a metal person, but I don’t really think of it that way either and this is pretty much the closest thing to metal you’ll find on this list (I might get into this in detail someday, but basically I think ‘70s hard rock and early metal are...

Vampire Weekend preview second album, rare White Stripes tracks surface, watch the new Arctic Monkeys video "In the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey" sang Beck on 'Loser', but who in the now and here is succeeding at penning songs with great lyrics?

Twilight haters - that is, those who aren't tweens or moms obsessed by last year's high school vampire flick and Stephenie Meyer's book series - might have a hard time maintaining their ire with the release of the soundtrack to Twilight: New Moon, the sequel to that first film. While the maiden CD featured some spot-on, slam-dunk tracks by Muse, Paramore and even an affecting Jeff Buckley-ish performance...

In response to my previous post, Russ commented that he'd like: A list of my top 10 albums of all time A short story about a dwarf & a penguin 5 points that may make him think that all MP's aren't old crooks who couldn't run the country for toffee. First of all, the top ten albums. This is VERY hard, because as most of you know, one album can be your favorite one day because of the mood you're...

It's tempting to imagine that Alexandra was especially well-prepared for her time on the X-Factor, simply because of her name. You see, back in the middle ages, to call someone 'a berk' was an insult (well, okay, it was used when my parents were growing up, though that's close enough), which must have made school interesting. Bullying is hard enough to deal with when it's done by children, but their...
