Street Songs of Love (Concord Records). Review by James Mann.

Together (Matador). Review by Sean Slone.

Infinite Arms (Columbia). Review by Sean Slone.

Up From Below (Community). Review by jeff schweers.

Literally dancing with bells on, legendary songwriter Jonathan Richman delighted Orlando fans with an acoustic show that felt more like a poetry reading than a typical night at The Social.

Take a trip back to Seattle’s musical heydey with Michael Lavine , who brings us all manner of visual treasure with Grunge.

Mr. Fox nearly destroys his family and community in this stop-motion version of Roald Dahl’s classic children’s book by Wes Anderson.

Too young to be fully cognizant of the more embarrassing excesses of Gothic music over the past twenty years, the young Turks of NYC’s own Blacklist are, perhaps unwittingly, the best hope of redeeming Goth-metal. Fresh from a European tour complete with horned hotel antics, Blacklist frontman and provocateur Josh Strawn told Ink 19 all about how he learned to stop worrying and love Motorhead and Scott Walker equally.

Fans of cutting-edge electronic music most likely have Michael Rother to thank. Rother was one of the prime movers in a German music scene, dubbed krautrock, that still sets the standard for exciting, weird, and groovy music. Ink 19 had the pleasure of chatting with Rother, who seems as comfortable with creating new music as he is with being a careful archivist of the music and legacy of his previous bands.

U2 packs the biggest rock show in history into The Spaceship and takes it on the road to touch the hearts of 75,000 fans in Tampa and outer space. Jen Cray laughs, she cries.

The reigning queen of MySpace wowed his faithful Orlando flock with a short but sweet performance, yet Chris Long can’t help but wonder if Jeffree Star is more style than substance.

Three-hour documentary on DVD about the German electronic music band, their influences, contemporaries, and followers. Sean Slone gets lost on the Trans-Europe Express.

Skin of Evil (Soft Abuse). Review by Aaron Shaul.

Berlin - Live At St. Ann’s Warehouse (Matador Records). Review by Carl F Gauze.

With a stage show more akin to performance art than rock concert, Of Montreal is anything but subtle. Jen Cray did not wear a pink leotard or face paint to the Orlando show, but she enjoyed it all the same.
