Despite the current slump in the housing market, Homeowners are feeling "bullish" about Home Improvements. According to a recent survey of homeowners 74% believe that making home improvements will help them get top dollar when they do sell. And they're not waiting for the market to turn around before getting started. So, while the forecast for the real estate market may remain cloudy, for at least some savvy homeowners there is a silver lining.

Staten Island native Ingrid Michaelson was born into a house of all things artistic. Follo
Staten Island native Ingrid Michaelson was born into a house of all things artistic. Following in the eclectic footsteps of her mother, a sculptor, and her father, a classical composer, Ingrid began piano lessons at only four years old. Her songwriting career began after college while touring the country in a national theater troupe and spending all her free time composing the songs that would eventually make it onto her current record, Girls and Boys.
An entrepreneur as well as a talented musician, Ingrid released Girls and Boys on her own label. Three months after the CD release, Ingrid won a national songwriting award. In November 2006, an unexpected phone call catapulted her career forward. The music supervisor from Grey's Anatomy wanted to use the song "Breakable" in an upcoming episode. Following the exposure on Grey's Anatomy, Ingrid's career as an independent artist immediately hit the fast track and she began to achieve milestones previously unheard of for an artist not signed to a major label.
NICOLE ATKINS
The shores of New Jersey are littered with small towns whose better days are far in the past. They're towns that have been written about, and sung over; towns that have been mythologized and idealized; and they are the towns that 28-year-old musician Nicole Atkins--a native of Neptune City, located a stones throw from fabled Asbury Park was born and raised. They can be places steeped in their own history, buried under the sense of their own pasts. Places of hey-days and what-once-was. And it's that sense of something lost and of what perhaps should have been, and what might be, that permeates Atkins's debut, Neptune City.
The characters in her tunes seem to live in an idealized past. "This record is the history of my town; it's the history of my family and friend in this town," she explains. "From the time I was a kid I started collecting these sad little tragically beautiful personal stories from the people in my life, and my own as well. That sense of history really appeals to me as an artist."

OLD 97's
Some bands blast out of the gate and never recapture their early energy. Other bands establish themselves as models of consistency. Still other bands take a while to find them. And then there are bands like the Old 97s, who blast out of the gate, establish themselves as models of consistency, take a while to find themselves, and then, fifteen years in, deliver a glorious record that sums up everything about them that fans have always loved. With Blame It On Gravity, the latest Old 97's record the band has made its definitive statement.
GOSSIP
Gossip is a band consisting of: Beth Ditto (vocals), Brace Paine (guitar, bass,) and Hannah Blilie (drums). Gossip is one of pop music's most uncompromised bands.
In April 2008, they put all of their personal relationships and other commitments on hold to jump on a plane, land, bundle up in a van and then drive to a city near you in celebration of "Gossip - Live In Liverpool." Gossip was chosen as the featured artist in MTV's "52/52" campaign which is a new way to give 'unprecedented exposure" to unsigned artists, and 'indie bands', in a completely new and innovative way. They recently made an appearance on the David Letterman Show.

NEW MUSIC MINUTE -- PADDY CASEY
Irish musician Paddy Casey knew he wanted to break fresh ground on his latest work. He was thinking Sly and the Family Stone meet Simon Garfunkel. He came up with the blueprint for songs that would have blues licks, funky guitars and Stax-style trumpets. Songs that would sit easily aside the more poignant songs full of personal meaning he already had. He thought of what he had, thought of Los Angeles and the idea was born. "I love the title Addicted To Company says Paddy - for me it just sums up the human condition - in that it's a realization that sometimes maybe it's enough to just be with the people you're with".
NEW MUSIC MINUTE --ONCE
(Excerpted from NY Times). Filmed with more efficiency than elegance on the streets of Dublin, Mr. Carney's movie, a favorite at Sundance earlier this year, does not look, sound or feel like a typical musical. It is realistic rather than fanciful, and the characters work patiently on the songs rather than bursting spontaneously into them. But its low-key affect and decidedly human scale endow "Once" with an easy, lovable charm that a flashier production could never have achieved. The formula is simple: two people, a few instruments, 88 minutes and not a single false note. New Music Minute presents an excerpt from ONCE.

Virginia Coalition is a band that has made its reputation with the blazing energy of its live shows and ability to play almost any style of music. Home This Year sees the band moving in a new direction. They ventured to California, challenging themselves to find a more emotionally intense means of expression. "There's a value to the time you put into a project," lead singer Andy Poliakoff explains. "We didn't allow ourselves to be satisfied with the first, or even third version of a song. We're getting older, and we wanted more than bombast. We wanted to look outside ourselves and find something more reflective, more truthful, more universal, to open a new chapter in the band's songwriting history." For More information goto:

Grammy Award winning Kathy Mattea's latest recording, COAL, is more than just mining songs
Grammy Award winning Kathy Mattea's latest recording, COAL, is more than just mining songs. Mattea says she wanted to pay tribute to "my place and my people". Raised near Charleston, West Virginia, her mining heritage is thick: both her parents grew up in coal camps, both her grandfathers were miners, her mother worked for the local UMWA. "It's a coming together of a lot of different threads of her life. The album was just a sketch of an idea until the Sago Mine Disaster, which killed twelve West Virginia miners. 'Now is the time to do these songs' Mattea
says.

NORTH MISSISSIPPI ALLSTARS
Guitarist-vocalist Luther Dickinson says of the North Mississippi Allstars' Hernando. "Musically, it's our most solid statement. It's just real natural and organic and honest. Luther -- who is joined by his band mates: Brother Cody on drums and friend Chris Chew on bass to help them develop the nuevo-retro sound, the Allstars turned to a familiar studio partner: Luther and Cody's father, the legendary James Luther Dickinson. Hernando was recorded in the group's North Mississippi hometown, at Jim Dickinson's studio Zebra Ranch. Luther and the band were aiming for a new-millennium version of the sound engineer Eddie Kramer developed with the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
BLACK CROWES
The Black Crowes recently released their first new studio recording in seven years. "Warpaint" is a declaration of our soulful independence," says Chris Robinson, the creative force behind this band with his brother Rich for the past 18 years. Their new songs build on the band's trademark adventurous brew of rock, blues, country, soul and gospel. "People have wondered if it's a political record or if these are protest songs. I say no, my politics are the politics of beauty. And if that's something you're into, then you have to understand the myriad of shades we have in something beautiful -- from joy to pain to sorrow, from tenderness to ugliness." As always, The Black Crowes continue to do things their own way.
