Ambient folk-pop duo Speck Mountain—comprised of Karl Briedrick and Marie-Claire Balabanian—released their sophomore record Some Sweet Relief this past March on Carrot Top Records. Splashy drums, reverb-filled guitars, organ, and the occasional brass instrument paint the band’s dreamy landscapes along with Balabanian’s sweet and drifting vocals.

Courtney Love is a neurotic, drug addled, fame whore. She should focus on seeking professional help. Courtney - substantiate your allegations in court, or shut up.
Ryan Adams is a talented songwriter, and has an alert and inquisitive mind. He is also a gentleman.
