From A to N... Autumn

A definite shift in the weather is noticeable. If you are sad to see the summer go... how do you allow yourself to find reasons to flirt with the crispness of autumn and make it your companion? The answer is... music.

The latest ethos83radio que is filled with songs from artists and bands, A thru N, who capture the full spectrum of AutumN moods. Reflection, thought capture, and seasonal acceptance are played out with smooth vocals... sneaky melodies, and forceful insights. Listen to the wildly artistic Akron/Family, drift with a song from Blue Roses' debut album, swing with simplistic Electric Owls, and linger with moody, The Kindness Kind.

The perfect Saturday or Sunday afternoon playlist is waiting for your labor of discovery to begin.

(as always... don't forget that the most immediate capture of MY Autumn mood is just above with the lastes 25 blip.fm songs from ethos83)

Super Duper Bumbershooter

The newest ethos83Radio que is loaded with tracks from the best this year's Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle, WA will have to offer! DY-NO-MITE sounds from Metric, Natalie Portman's Shaved Head, The Knux, Modest Mouse, Cold War Kids, and titanic smooth grooves from Jason Mraz, Eric Hutchinson, Eleni Mandell, Brett Dennen, and Oren Lavie. There is much more to check out and much to tempt you into spilling 80 bucks out of your wallet in order to attend this year. 44 tracks in all... but 120 artists at the festival... so it's just a taste. Hit play now if you haven't already!

You've Just Made A Great Discovery!

Ra Ra Riot & Vampire Weekend should hang out as often as brilliant collaborations like this can be shared with the music world. Check out five songs from their newly released album "LP". If you want something sharp yet fun... grab it... blare it... share it... love it.

Wilco Week!

This week, rather than a que of mixed artists and prompted by one of the most brilliant live performances of 2009, ethos83 RADIO is featuring the well established guardians of rock and roll Wilco, from Chicago Illinois.

Quite possibly the only band that can be described as wildly successful and yet surprisingly unknown, Wilco is led by unassuming and long time rocker Jeff Tweedy. Displayed even to an audience during a performance as merely a 'band member', this triumphant song writer springs to life with a presence that supersedes any stage placement or lack of flashy Guitar Heroesque moves. Tweedy and Wilco deliver rock with a conquering simplicity that lets the music speak for itself and challenges all in attendance to sink into their own emotions and views of the world.

What stood as a solid two and a half hour set performed at Jacksonville, Oregon's Britt Pavilion on the release date of Wilco's newest studio offering, Wilco (the album), has transformed and become countless reflections on the concert, and served to shape each new album listening session. Songs like "You Never Know", "I'll Fight", and yes... even "Wilco (the song), resonate with a more satisfying understanding when coupled with reflections of their live exhibition. Truly one of the most outstanding live bands touring the country today... Wilco makes the case almost effortlessly for you to be listening to their music and buying tickets to see them in concert. With steadily natured talent and poise, each day this band continues to cut records and go on tour draws them ever closer to the day when fewer Americans will respond "Who?" , when told a friend just saw them in concert, and rightfully solidify being labeled by a just portion of the population as one of America's greatest rock bands of all time.
