eMusic Belle & Sebastian's Stuart Murdoch talks about his new project, God Help the Girl, how a "classic anxiety dream" helped him clarify his vision for it, and tells us that B&S is going to going to "reconvene towards the end of the year when Richard [Colburn; B&S drummer] returns from his triumphant world tour with Snow Patrol." Yay!

eMusic Where to start? We just added 11,000 titles from Sony labels today. One thing we're doing with the catalog on the editorial side is to publish guided, curated discographies of musical giants. First up an exhaustive, unblinking look at the career of Bob Dylan. Every Bob Dylan album — the good, the bad and the embarrassing — is here in a guide sure to be valuable to Dylan newcomers and longtimers alike.

Just because this is a cool music-related story:
"Archaeologists and other scholars can only speculate as to what moved these early Europeans to make music. It so happens that the Hohle Fels flute was uncovered in sediments a few feet away from the carved figurine of a busty, nude woman, also around 35,000 years old... Was this evidence of happy hours after the hunt? Fertility rites or social bonding?"
Source: www.nytimes.com
Archaeologists said a bone flute and two fragments of ivory flutes discovered last fall represent the earliest known flowering of music-making in Stone Age culture.

i wish they had gone more into the details of the tones and intervals it could produce and the implications for the musical possibilities. like, can it play any of our modern modal scales (doubtful, i'd guess, but how close does it come)? are the holes spaced for quarter tones, half or whole tones, or some more exotic set of intervals? it would ...
