An Horse: 'Horizons'
Mon, 17 Nov 2008 20:52:00 -0500

The two recently released their full-length debut, Rearrange Beds, on which they tackle a simple enough formula: drums, electric guitar, and failed relationships for lyrical fodder. It's dangerous territory for some bands. It's easy to turn those ingredients into melodrama or an exercise in the trite. But An Horse uses its confessional lyrics to create 10 immediately recognizable tunes, with toe-tapping beats. It's a combination that led the duo to opening spots on tours with Death Cab for Cutie and Tegan & Sara.

What Makes a Great Singer?
Tue, 11 Nov 2008 01:36:51 -0800
By Jonathan Lethem There's something about a voice that's personal, not unlike the particular odor or shape of a given human body.

How helplessly candid! How appalling! Contrary to anything you've heard, the ability to...
Janis Joplin by Stevie Nicks
Wed, 12 Nov 2008 10:51:02 -0800
Janis Joplin by Stevie Nicks You could say that being yelled at by Janis Joplin was one of the great honors of my life. Early in my career, Lindsay Buckingham and I were in a band called Fritz. There were two gigs we played in San Francisco that changed everything for me: One was opening up for Jimi Hendrix, who was completely magical. The other was the time that we opened up for Janis at the San Jose Fairgrounds, around 1970. It was a hot summer day, and things didn't start off well...
