Upcoming has been a rather neglected web application since it was acquired by Yahoo, but this week they've announced a new feature that lets you know when bands you like are in town based on Pandora, Last.fm, or iTunes. Back in the day, before extra ads and a painful interface, Pollstar used to be the go to place to check a concert listing in your area. You still can, but other sites like Upcoming...
God damn morons. The 'Felt' page hosts two artists of completely different genres because they share the same name. One is some 80s British Pop Band and the other is a Rap duo. I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that the majority of 80s music that has survived into this decade sucks heavy bollocks, but that's not really relevant here. Anyway, this leads to a load of trendy, trilby wearing motherfuckers...
Kate and After Genre: Pop / Rock / Indie From: Göteborg, Västra Götalands län Sweden I've been snowed under in work this week and haven't been able to post as much as usual. I have also neglected the inbox which has been filling up like a storm drain in a monsoon with music from exciting artists from around the world. Over the last day or so I've been desperately trying to catch...

Last Tuesday, I met novelist Ben Tanzer ( Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine ) for dinner at The Flying Biscuit and over bacon and eggs we recorded a podcast about Conquering Venus , poetry, favorite authors and more. You can listen to the podcast at Ben's This Blog Will Change Your Life . I highly recommend Ben's new novel. I read it in two days. His ear for dialogue is sharp and conversations...
Filed under: Audio , Internet , Web services , Yahoo! , Social Software , web 2.0 , Web It's been a number of months (if not longer) since Yahoo showed any love to its Upcoming events service . Since acquiring the service in October 2005, the service has seen just one re-design - and few additional features since. However, in a largely-uncovered announcement earlier in the week, Upcoming now offers...
Mumford & Sons Genre: Indie Folk /Folk Rock / Bluegrass From: London, England, UK Mumford & Sons are one of the most significant success stories of 2009, with their debut album charting at number 11, and number 1 on iTunes. But like all great stories, we’re not even halfway through the first novel and the best is still to come. Their new single, ‘Winter Winds’ is released...
Martha Argerich is just an amazing piano virtuoso – you can read her biography at last.fm for some basic details. Her debut recital, performed at age 24 (!) in 1960 includes a performance of Chopin’s Scherzo No. 3 that is legendary. I bought the Deutsche Grammophon CD of that recital a day or two ago [...]
The Black Elevators Genre: Garage / Psychedelic / Jungle From: Kent, Ohio, United States I stumbled upon the Black Elevators, or rather they stumbled upon me, when they sent me a friend invite on myspace. Yes, in these short attention span twittering days, Myspace does still exist! I liked what I heard and voila they have a prestigious spot on the mighty Devil's blog. The Black Elevators name makes...

I have a Nokia 5800 mobile phone, which I really love. It's easily the best mobile I've ever had. I've recently been playing with the podcast client, which is pretty good, and also the Last.fm client, Mobbler, which is great. But until Spotify release their client for my phone, something ...
French For Cartridge Genre: Rock / Experimental From: London, United Kingdom London's genre defying, style blending, art-pop geniuses (or should that be genii ?) Cartridge changed their name to the very similar if slightly longer French For Cartridge. While they've been busy changing their name they've thankfully not tinkered around with their incomparable sound. If you check your dictionary (do people...
