Music to Commemorate That Giant Leap for Mankind
When John F. Kennedy promised the world in 1961 that Americans would land on the moon by the end of the decade, most people thought the notion ridiculous. But 40 years ago today, Apollo 11 landed on the moon, making good on the presidential promise. The Russians may have their Sputnik and their Yuri Gagarin, but it's the American flag that protrudes from the moon's surface, providing a source of pride for all (well, most) Americans. In celebration, then, this playlist:... read more

Found in: NewsJoseph Arthur breathes life into digi-album Bag is Hot, tours
When an album is good, there always seems to be something that lingers about that final note, something that makes listeners wish that the record will go on forever. Now Joseph Arthur is answering that simple notion with an album that actually does go on, in theory, forever. “Bag is hot—like fresh popcorn for all the kids to grab,” Arthur said in a recent press release. “Digital hands eating the digital popcorn. This project is fun and doesn’t have to be precious, but it’s hard not to take it seriously and really work on it. It’s not, ‘Bag is getting... read more

His creative outpouring continues this spring with the release of two EPs, Could We Survive (March 18) and Crazy Rain and Boredom (April 15). Two more EPs are expected later in the year, leading up to the full-length release of... read more

But two lucky fans will have a much less depressing night, as event sponsor CMJ will give away only two,... read more

Newly opened on 25 Jay Street in Brooklyn, MOMAR is a place for tourists to check out the musician’s paintings, and eventually the works of various Arthur-approved creative-types. His website lists the following tenants of operation, among others: - MOMAR seeks to create a new approach to art patronage that includes but extends beyond the conventions of financial support and criticism, and allows for nontraditional contributions... read more
