To celebrate the first ever Family Records' Revue at Bowery Ballroom, BreakThru Radio and Family Records teamed up for a special limited edition mixtape featuring live in-studio performances from Pearl And The Beard, Wakey!Wakey!, Matt Singer, and The Undisputed Heavyweights -- available for free exclusively on Amie Street!

 


Classical Spotlight: Benjamin Britten

Benjamin Britten excelled in embracing the old and making it dynamically new, and as a result remains one of England's most influential composers. In this compilation, the St. John's College Choir performs some of Britten's finest choral settings of English poetry and Mass texts.


 


Album Spotlight: The Love Lights

The Love Lights' shagadelic pop will light a fire under your seat, getting you up and grooving before you even know what happened. Dust off your soul shoes and take a listen to Young Lions after the break!


 


Interview: The Deep Vibration

In addition to giving us an exclusive on their excellent debut EP Veracruz, Nashville's The Deep Vibration were kind enough to answer some of our most pressing questions -- including how it came to pass that Lou Reed named the band! Find our interview after the break...


 


New Music Tuesday

Grizzly Bear's Daniel Rossen joins Fred Nicolaus to form Department of Eagles, a sweet psychedelic pop duo who've just received Pitchfork's "Best New Music" acclaim! Check out their newest album, In Ear Park, in our featured six this week!


 


Album Spotlight: Pavement

Produced by Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, Beck, R.E.M), the final album from seminal indie rockers Pavement includes some of their brightest and catchiest moments. Find our writeup of Terror Twilight after the break!


 


Interview: Forest Fire

Brooklyn's Forest Fire share stories on an embarassing first mixtape, why nobody's making the "album of the decade," and watching someone ride a ceramic horse in a bar called Siberia. Check out their session with Uncensored Interview after the break!


 


Interview: Jaguar Love

When they're not freaking the funk, Jaguar Love speak out on gas prices making them cancel shows, shout out a personal message for Prez Bush, and tell you why vegans shouldn't visit Paris. Get educated with the band's Uncensored Interview clips after the break!


 


Artist Spotlight: Pulpo

Like piping hot biscuits straight from the oven, Pulpo delivers a delectable, buttery, mouth-watering treat with Hot Bread. Salsa and jazz lovers, dig in to our spotlight after the break!


 


Classical Spotlight: Chopin Piano Works

The beauty of Chopin's music, the majority of which is written for solo piano, comes from its ability to express genuine, familiar emotions. Turkish pianist Idil Biret skillfully mediates between the challenges of the notated music and the piano itself to make Chopin's communication compellingly real and alive in these recordings.
