Cake Incite a 'War' in New York

  • Posted on Dec 13th 2007 2:00PM by Ames Friedman
Unlimited Sunshine? Maybe, but shadows fell on New York's Terminal 5 Wednesday night as Cake performed an ode to the Prince of Darkness, whipping out a cover of Black Sabbath's 'War Pigs.' Cake's take on the classic -- destined to become a fan favorite of their live sets -- is offered up on their latest release, 'B-Sides and Rarities.' Sabbath they ...

IFLTS: 'The Way I Am,' Ingrid Michaelson

  • Posted on Dec 7th 2007 2:00PM by Ames Friedman
'The Way I Am,' Ingrid Michaelson From 2007's 'Girls and Boys' I feel like I'm living in some kind of bizarro universe. Everything's all upside down. How is it possible that I discovered my new favorite song in an Old Navy ad? But Ingrid Michaelson's 'The Way I Am' reached out of my TV set and snapped my head around. Before I could stop myself, ...

IFLTS: 'Presents,' Via Audio

  • Posted on Nov 7th 2007 2:00PM by Ames Friedman
'Presents,' Via Audio From 2007's 'Say Something' Via Audio are my new favorite cause. I want to help the whole world learn their name, learn their tunes and learn to love them the way I do. These kids think in terms of pop confections, creating tunes that just beg to be sung. Give them a listen and you'll pick up on hints of both of ...

Rufus Wainwright Serenades 'Stars' in NYC

  • Posted on Sep 4th 2007 3:00PM by Ames Friedman

The weather didn't dampen Wainwright's spirit, though. The stylish singer-songwriter crooned his way through the glittering 'Release the Stars,' a ...

IFLTS: 'Writer's Block,' Just Jack

  • Posted on Aug 6th 2007 2:00PM by Ames Friedman
'Writer's Block,' Just Jack From 2007's 'Overtones' Is it 'Spiderman''s MJ or 'Harold and Kumar''s Mary Jane you're flying high with, Jack? With insider references to bullet trains and Lois Lane, 'Writer's Block' is enough to make a stoner ComiCon buff's day. Sorry, Spidey, but in this debut issue from North Londoner Just Jack, the bass line is ...

IFLTS: 'All the World and I,' Elana James

  • Posted on Mar 28th 2007 2:00PM by Ames Friedman
'All the World and I,' Elana James From 2007s 'Elana James' With all the atmosphere of a sepia-toned photograph, this gorgeous little ditty is evocative of an old-timey traditional performed for an Appalachian church social or a slow dance at a Texan town hall formal. One of the stand-outs of the 2007 SXSW festival in her hometown of Austin, TX, ...

IFLTS: 'Fraud in the '80s,' Mates of State

  • Posted on Feb 27th 2007 4:51PM by Ames Friedman
'Fraud in the '80s,' Mates of State From 2006's 'Bring It Back' Like an indie beach party, the bouncy hammond-esque organ and uber-hooky vocal melodies on 'Fraud in the '80s' make this one of the catchiest tunes I've heard in a million years, managing to evoke images of summer and convertibles even while it's sub-zero outside. Unlike more ...
