  1. Kimbra brings 'Vows' to the Fonda Theatre

    An experienced presence in her native New Zealand, Kimbra bent American ears -- and quite a few of them -- earlier this year as the female voice on Gotye's Hot 100-topping "Somebody That I Used to Know." But that acoustic quirk-pop hit only hints at a bit of what Kimbra does on "Vows," her appealingly scattershot solo debut. It flits from jazzy electro-pop to muscular art rock to one tune that sounds like it was written for TLC's "CrazySexyCool." Pop & Hiss caught up with the 22-year-old singer-songwriter at a Studio City cafe ahead of her shows Wednesday and Thursday at the Fonda Theatre.

  3. Bright Moments new album, show in Danbury June 15

    Bright Moments may come off as an unabashed pop band, replete with new wave keyboard flourishes and synthesized trumpets and handclaps, but there's a distinct Trad Folk or alternaroots &nbsp;aspect to these slick studio sounds. When vocalist --- starts a line with "the sun shines bright," even though he doesn't follow it with "on my old Kentucky home," it carries you instantly back to the classic tunesmithery of Stephen Foster.

  4. The minstrel's legacy

    The new book "Darkest America: Black Minstrelsy From Slavery to Hip-Hop," by Yuval Taylor and Jake Austen, explores the history of minstrelsy, dissecting how it became the most popular form of American entertainment before vaudeville and identifying how elements of the form are present in today's entertainment. In an interview, Taylor, 49, a senior editor with Chicago Review Press, and Austen, 43, editor of Roctober magazine (and an occasional Printers Row Journal contributor), discussed the book. Here is an edited transcript of the conversation.

  12. Jewel Wrote a Song About Walmart

    Singer Jewel, who apparently is releasing an album of children&rsquo;s songs, also for some reason has written a song about Walmart. No, it&rsquo;s not an anti-establishment, pro-living wage song like you&rsquo;re thinking, it&rsquo;s more of a &ldquo;roses are red, violets are blue, I love Walmart and you should too!&rdquo; type of corporate-shilling little ditty. Some are calling this the best corporate whoring track since <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmIObmv2t6M" target="_blank">that guy who reworked U2&rsquo;s &ldquo;One&rdquo; for Bank of America</a>. Alright, only I&rsquo;m calling it that. But it&rsquo;s pretty fantastic, if you&rsquo;re into songs about everyday products at discount prices.
