AM Rings in the Holiday Season with Charlie Brown Favorite

Pretend for just one moment that all the polluted ash falling outside is snow and that your Starbucks seasonal beverage is actually home made. Then listen to AM's cover of "Christmas Time Is Here," which is an updated version of the Charlie Brown favorite, with magic and happy ooziness still intact. It's a part of AM's new holiday EP "Holiday, Happiness and Cheer," which The Deli highly recommends you purchase here.

Globes on Remote: Hooks with intellect

Pop music this rich and quirky is always notable. Globes on Remote are freaks of melody and bold texture, with nods to "So"-era Peter Gabriel to contemporaries like Arcade Fire and the big landscapes of My Morning Jacket. While Globes on Remote's sound is mostly groove based, it's the decoration and fresh vocals that are incredibly hook-worthy. To be "catchy" and retain a kind of mystery is a hard continuum to meet.

FOR LOCAL ARTISTS


Sign Up to enter The Deli's Charts HERE (free)

The Deli Charts (see example on the left column) are a database of artists organized by region, genre and, of course, popularity.

Rather than just a popularity contest, our charts are thought as a service to allow bands, live show promoters and also music fans to find new promising acts. In this DIY musical era, the Deli's Charts provide an easy and fun way for emerging artists to find like-minded bands to network with.

Unlike similar charts implemented by other websites, The Deli's ones are extremely reliable in terms of rankings, which are calculated using data from the outside world - not internal artist profile counting. Also, they include not only subscribers but also bigger acts, therefore reflecting the local scenes in its entirety.

Sign Up here.

Much Ado about The Living Sisters's "How Glad I Am"

The Living Sisters are rather enigmatic. Information on them is scarce, and it's hard to find a reason why considering this trio of vocalists are about as good as "supergroups" can get. Inara George (of The Bird and the Bee), Becky Stark (of Lavender Diamond) and Eleni Mandell (of ...Eleni Mandell) make up what is seemingly a throwback pop outfit (we say "seemingly" because only one track exists in the ether, "How Glad I Am," featured on their MySpace page) -- and they're sharing the stage with Brian Wilson on December 6th at Disney Hall. In this age of over saturation, consider this a rare kind of intrigue.
