Former Chairlift member Caroline Polachek is releasing the first solo album under her own name, Pang. “Look At Me Now’ is the ‘diary entry’ of the album,” Polachek said in a statement. “I wrote it last year while processing a mix of guilt, self-destructiveness, and hope. I’ve never really worked with acoustic guitar before, and in ‘Look At Me Now’ it’s an umbilical connection to the Lilith-Fair-era artists I grew up listening to, like Jewel and Sarah McLaughlan, who’s wistfully adult lyrics I pretended to understand at the time and now do.” - bit.ly

It is actually more concerned with political protest. It came out in 1984 when a lot of people were still worried about the aftermath of The Cold War and it was basically an encouragement to protest." - bit.ly

New York duo Phantogram have released a new single "In A Spiral". Vocalist Sarah Barthel stated, “In A Spiral” started from a beat that Josh [Carter] had in his back pocket for quite some time, which I had gravitated to immediately and written some vocal ideas for. But the song was waiting for the right moment to reveal itself to us… We threw it on at the last minute while we were preparing to go record in Joshua Tree at the magical Rancho de la Luna with our friend Boots, and once we got out there everything started to fall." - www.kexp.org

Angered by what he experienced during a trip he made to Nicaragua and El Salvador and saw how locas were affected by United States military intervention in the region, Bono asked the Edge to "put El Salvador through an amplifier" and the result is this great song. As for the character Bono created that’s described in the lyrics as having a “face red like a rose in a thorn bush” and who’s “peeling off those dollar bills”? That was Ronald Reagan. “As a student of non-violence I had a violent reaction to what I was witnessing,” he explained. - bit.ly

Robert Smith said, "I realized at this time that, despite my best efforts, we had actually become everything that I didn't want us to become: a stadium rock band. Most of the relationships within the band and outside of the band fell apart. Calling [the album] Disintegration was kind of tempting fate, and fate retaliated." The single "Fascination Street," which was inspired by a boozy night in New Orleans, shot to Number One on the Modern Rock Tracks chart and remains a live favorite. - bit.ly

You will just have to wait it out and see what happens." - www.stereogum.com
