• ALMT-MM: Peter Gabriel scratches some backs

  February 8th, 2010

  On ALMT-Music Mondays I write about music.

  I feel like I discovered several goldmines today, so I’ll try to get through them as succinctly as possible.

  First: Peter Gabriel rocks.  Ok, I already knew this.  But what I recently discovered is on 2/16 the man is putting out “Scratch My Back” an indie rock/orchestral cover album featuring such artists as David Bowie, Elbow, Talking Heads, Regina Spektor and Paul Simon. The artists in turn will cover a Gabriel song for the follow-up album “I’ll Scratch Yours.”

  I downloaded his rendition of Arcade Fire’s “My Body Is a Cage” and if this is a taste of things to come, then I’m first in line to buy the album.

  Next up: Where to listen to the latest finds from the top music blogs on the internet…all in one place?

• ALMT-Music Monday: GITRD in Under The Radar Digital Sampler

  I’m very excited to announce that “Disguise” from GITRD is featured in the “Under The Radar” digital sampler, Best of the Decade edition.

  “Disguise” is number 12 on the list, alongside such artists as Death Cub For Cutie and Devendra Banhart.

  

  You can access the digital sampler by buying a copy of “Under The Radar” – the code is inside. You can pick up the magazine from book stores or order online.

  Other highlights from the magazine include:

  

  The Best of the Decade Issue features Under the Radar’s Top 200 Albums of the Decade and all five of the cover artists have at least one album somewhere on the list.

  The Best of the Decade Issue also includes interviews with other great artists on our Top 200 Albums of the Decade list, including Animal Collective’s Avey Tare, The Dears’ Murray Lightburn, The Decemberists’ Colin Meloy, Elbow’s Guy Garvey, Feist, Grizzly Bear’s Ed Droste, Modest Mouse’s Isaac Brock, Spiritualized’s Jason Pierce, Super Furry Animals’ Gruff Rhys, and Tegan & Sara.
