Like any city, we have our fair share of the iconic, the semi-obnoxious, and the downright intolerable. And maybe the reason why the city Love doesn't get recognized for its startling music is our fault - we're just not showing enough love to the right artists, even to those bands across the river. So consider the December issue - The Philly Issue - your wake-up call. Inside, we have the buzzworthy outfits that deserve your undivided attention - The Swimmers, Good Old War, Cuddle Magic, AnOmali, Screaming Females, and cover outfit Free Energy. Take the time to listen, people, and you won't regret it. Also in this month's issue: Emilie Autumn, The 69 Eyes, The Phenomenal Handclap Band, Metropolis and the Top 9 of '09, where Origivation writer, Izzy Cihak, chats up with nine of the best artists of this year to give us their opinion of the three best tracks of this year.

And we picked them because their garb is as personal as they are relative: it's not about how cool they look - it's about the celebration of their music as told through their clothes. These artists aren't fitting an image - wearing "costumes," if you will - they are just being themselves. And we think that, in today's music, that's unique.

Music, on the mainstream scale, is suffering, while pockets of cities are producing tremendously talented, ambitious, prolific and inventive acts that are playing small circuits in support of their music.

Still, those bands silently productive in 2008 (sleepers, if you will) are the ones we're terribly excited about - Lenka, An Horse, Kiernan McMullan and The Drama Club.

Projekt Revolution comes to town and brings everything but the guillotine. Motley Crue squeezes back into the leather and puts Dr. Feelgood on call in case anyone hurts themselves. And finally Kevin Walker asks the Milkboy UnLabel, "Sure you make records, but what else can you do?" That's all folks. Keep all the taunts, threats and praise coming. You know I love it! Fri, 1 Aug 2008 00:00:00 EST Music www.origivation.com Vol. 7, Issue 6: August 2008 The end of summer is near, even for Tim Kinsella, as he discusess his plans to go back to school after a ten-year hiatus. What does this mean? For now it looks like the prolonged absence of Joan of Arc. Year-long Disaster chats with Katie Gray about what it's like to have rock and roll be a family thing, and laments the absence of rock bands in these modern times. Speking of family, our own Annamarya Scaccia chats it up with Brothers and Sisters. Lee Morgan brings his quaint and unassuming ways to World Cafe and literally wins the crowd over. Jethro Tull celebrates forty years of rock and roll glory, and proves to everyone that flutes are more than just those things you harrass band-geeks with.

The Oi! Fest comes to Allentown and is well documented by our own Stephanie Weaver who gives us all a lesson in what it’s like to be punk rock in 2008. And speaking of punk—and the philosophy and origins therein—Mission of Burma chats with the big O before their show on the 27th. Dominic Nicosia is once transformed by the miracle of Swervedriver in New York and Kevin Walker drops by Cambridge Sound Studios to give budding musicians a taste of what they can get if they sign on to do a few sessions. In a local spotlight with North Jersey’s Sunburst Carrier, we are reminded of just how hard it is to find that magic collaborative spark that makes for a tasty musical recipe. The July issue is packed with all these features and so much more. It’s a veritable goodie bag of rock and roll fun. All you have to do is stick your hand in there and pick something good. Enjoy this month’s little foray into musical analysis. See you in thirty days.

A season that has long been synonymous with fertility and rebirth, it seems only fitting that Origivation dress to complement its welcome arrival. Within this month's pages are items that are sure to please everyone. The sounds, shows and streets are in full bloom with new musical life and vitality. To begin with, Origivation sits down with A Silver Mount Zion's Ian Ilavsky and explores the meaning of music as it relates to independence, corporate interests and old age. Katie Gray delivers another fine feature, this time on the multi-national super group, Gogol Bordello's Eugene Hutz. So if you ever wanted to know what the deal with GB is, now is your chance. In an interview that I'll not soon forget, Kimya Dawson comes at us full-force to discuss, lo-fi recordings, her new project, collaborative music and tollbooth operators' odd thumbs and resemblances to pop stars. On the local front, Black Landlord comes to the TLA to collect the rent with Grimace Federation as their enforcers. Last but certainly not least on the agenda is an interview with garden-state songsmith, Jeffrey Gaines as he discusses humble beginnings and promising ends. All this plus so much more in the Spring edition of your favorite local rockrag. Aren't we good to you? Keep supporting original music.

And speaking of sight, as you can probably tell by the cover, The Dresden Dolls dropped by to remind us that life really is a cabaret.
