...Advantage also moves me. Though they self-describe their music as "indie-rock folk songs about hometowns and heartbreak," that description seems woefully inadequate, although any feeble collection of words would fail to do the band any semblance of justice. Sure, their debut album Hometowns has a rollicking folk vibe, but the Toronto trio...

...Advantage are one of those emotionally engaging indie-rock bands who you just want to hug. Emotionally charged - thankfully not "emo" - the Toronto-based trio are fronted by Alberta-born Nils Edenloff and includes Amy Cole and Paul Banwatt. The band recently released their debut album Hometown . I forgive them for some of their Neutral Milk...

2008-05-05 10:44:06 by Editor in CBC Radio 3
 
...Advantage aesthetic is a simple one, but in keeping things lean they also make everything essential. Take Dont Haunt This Place, from their new album Hometowns . Its built on just five elements - Paul Banwatt s tremendously nimble drumming, a simple synth line that gives way to stately cello line and wonderful harmonies from Nils Edenloff and...

...Advantage: 57. Take that, gramps 1967 Youre already kind of an idiot if I have to start listing albums, but: Sgt. Peppers, The Doors, Are You Experienced?, Forever Changes, and so on. Youd need a truly pathological hatred of hippies to deny that 1967 was pretty boss. I hate hippies as much as the next guy, and Im willing to dock some points...

Who Got The Better Radiohead Show, Dallas or Houston?

2008-05-19 16:08:42 by Pete Freedman in DC9 At Night
...Advantage: Houston, by far Audience As Merritt already pointed out, a small but loud percentage of the Dallas crowd was compelled to dash any quiet moments with hoots and hollers. It happened in Houston, too, but wasnt nearly as noticeable. Another difference was that people in Dallas sang along far more. Im probably in the minority in that I...

...advantage of the digital revolution. It's very Lawrence Lessig. Just think what might have happened had the major labels embraced the concept of Napster in 2000. We'll never know of course but the fact is I don't believe we've even scratched the surface of what's possible and the delay caused by these gigantic corporations fighting for their...
