What The “Fuck” Is Liam Finn’s New Video About?
Get your Monday off to a weird start with the new Liam Finn video.
The Viewfinder: Liam Finn’s “Jump Your Bones”
Drum sets are fuckin’ dangerous, yo. Singer/songwriter/adorable mofo Liam Finn’s new album, FOMO has been out for a couple of months already, and the diminutive Kiwi has recently started melting faces on tour. I guarantee you, if you check this guy out live, you will become a fan immediately. Not only is he talented as shit, but he’s an amazing ball of energy. The video for “Jump Your Bones” finds Liam attacking his drum set with the vim and vigor that […]
250 Words or Less: Liam Finn’s “FOMO”
I figured I couldn’t properly review the second album by singer/songwriter Liam Finn without knowing what it’s title meant. Turns out, [amazon-product text=”Fomo (buy)” tracking_id=”popblerdcom-20″ type=”text”]B004Z9AKDO[/amazon-product]FOMO stands for “Fear of Missing Out”. After listening to the album, I can say you’re missing out if you don’t pick it up. Finn’s bloodline almost guarantees a pleasant listening experience-after all, his father is Neil Finn of Crowded House/Finn Brothers/Split Enz/solo fame, one of the greatest and perhaps most underrated) songwriters of the […]
New Release Report 6/21/11: “The Light of” Jill Scott & More!
BIG release week-for me anyway. There are at least four albums that will make their way into our grubby little paws by the end of the day Tuesday, representing a pretty wide range of genres. Here they are: Jill Scott The Light of the Sun-The Philly soul songstress has to make a solid album to avenge for the taste of mediocrity that lingers in my mouth after her last effort, The Real Thing. With a new label and a new […]
Hear Here!: Liam Finn Premieres “Cold Feet”
Fresh from a fantastic show in Boston comes some new music from Liam Finn. His second album, entitled FOMO, will be out on June 21st, and the first single from it is entitled “Cold Feet”. It’s a jangling pop-rocker with a melody that should be easily identifiable as emanating from the Finn family, with just enough synth wildness at the end to define it as being exclusively Liam. In short, I dig it, and I’m looking even more forward to the album! video platform video management video solutions […]
Liam Finn Brings “Lightning” in a Bottle to Boston
The talent apple doesn’t always fall so closely to the tree. For every Jakob Dylan or Ben Taylor or ?uestlove, there’s…well, let’s not go there right now. When your dad is Neil Finn, one of my ten favorite songwriters of all time, the bar is set that much higher (at least for this music lover). Liam Finn’s 2008 debut, I’ll Be Lightning, vaulted him over the bar. A solid collection of quirky pop (with a bit of a rockier sound […]
I Guess “Dependable-Or” Was Already Taken?
One of the most consistently solid songwriters of recent times (who doesn’t really get the props he deserves) has been Neil Finn. I’ll admit to not being familiar with Split Enz (an issue I hope to rectify soon enough), but whether solo, recording with his brother Tim, part of the 7 Worlds Collide collective or as part of Crowded House, I think he’s the singer/songwriter for whom the term “Beatle-esque” can most readily be applied. And although there might be […]
