Aimee Mann / Village Voice interview

File Aimee Mann under Master of Melancholy. From the purely plaintive mid-'80s MTV hit "Voices Carry" through the mid-tempo minor chords highlighted in P.T. Anderson's Magnolia, Mann's music has ministered to more than one midnight self-pity party. And such improbable sing-alongs as "Deathly," "You Could Make A Killing," "Nothing Is Good Enough," "Calling It Quits," "I've Had It" and "Save Me" certify that the former 'Til Tuesday frontwoman long ago found her niche, and yet over time has managed enough melodic maneuverability (2005's conceptual The Forgotten Arm chronicles a drug-addicted pugilist while her latest, @#%&*!

Alejandro Escovedo interview / NY Daily News...

Ask his fellow musicians about Alejandro Escovedo, and you'll hear nothing but praise.
Yet the Texan singer-songwriter, who plays Wednesday at Highline Ballroom, has never been a household name.

And even among rock fans, his work, though influential, is not widely known: He's been more of an aficionado's musician. (continue at nydailynews.com)
