The latest issue of Vman is about to hit newsstands and in the issue, the men's fashion magazine dives into the best music of 2011 and is spotlighting some names you may not be familiar with just yet but might want to start getting used to.
Vman was cool enough to give MTV News an exclusive first look at a few of the gents included in their best-of roundup. Among those getting some love are John Maus, Deerhunter frontman Bradford Cox and Girl's frontman Christopher Owens (above). These are some seriously talented guys we're sure you'll be hearing a lot about.
Did we mention that they're pretty easy on the eyes too? Not that that's a super important thing when it comes to a man and his music … but it doesn't hurt either. Read on for some exclusive excerpts from Vman's interviews with Owens, Cox...

Wilco: The Whole Love (dBpm)
The last two extra tracks on the deluxe version are "Speak into the Rose," a wonderfully propulsive Krautrock rip, and a less-plush alternate take of "Black Moon," a gently jangling ballad that delicately wafts the deluxe album to a beautiful, tender conclusion. Think about the contrast there, then imagine them combined in one song. You've basically imagined the whiplash-inducing opening track on the main album. I've had my problems with Wilco in the past: S/T was kinda boring, Sky formulaically pretty, the Jim O'Rourke-induced artiness of Ghost too stiffly self-conscious. Here, the beauty and the experimentation have been more organically merged, suggesting that Nels Cline has finally gelled as a member.
Later tracks find their '70s rock fixation leading to some mildly psychedelic touches, some gritty garage-rock moves (even Mysterians-esque organ on "I Might"), a light-hearted update of The Band's sound...

John Maus’ lo-fi experiments have been dismissed as vintage-electronica wankery, but that can’t account for how much of We Must Become The Pitiless Censors Of Ourselves lingers in the ears long after the album’s end. As on his previous two records, Maus kneels at the altar of ’80s-era synth pop, muttering incoherently like Ian Curtis after a concussion, but he’s succeeded in giving Pitiless Censors a captivating cohesion. Across the album, delicate ballads (“Hey Moon”) drift across tense, sparkling keyboard riffs (“Keep Pushing On”), eventually building into the epic closer “Believer,” a soaring, otherworldly haze of keyboards ...

Want to feel old today? Laura Marling just turned 21 in February, and she's about to put out her third full-length album. "A Creautre I Don't Know" has the British songwriter back with producer Ethan Johns, with the set due Sept. 13 in the 'States. It will be her first album for Ribbon Music, a label and publisher that's apparently an offshoot of Domino. Which means at least she'll be in good hands. John Maus is the only other label signee. Marling has previewed one of the album's new songs in a two-minute clip, a sparse vinyl-stringed take on a song...

The Guardian reports that John Walker (born John Maus), one of the founding members of the Walker Brothers, died on May 7 from liver cancer at the age of 67. So today’s track of the day will come from the 60s and 70s pop group, and it is their #1 chart hit The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine (Anymore).
Formed in 1964, the three unrelated musicians adopted the ‘Walker Brothers’ name as a show business touch – “simply because we liked it”. They provided a unique counterpoint to the British Invasion in that they were a group from the United States that achieved much more substantial success in the United Kingdom than in their home country, during the period when the popularity of British bands such as The Beatles dominated the Us.

John Walker, a founding member of the Walker Brothers, lost his six month battle with liver cancer on Saturday (May 7).
The legendary musician's official website confirms his passing with a statement that reads, "It is with our deepest sadness to report that Mr. John Walker passed away in his Los Angeles area home on May 7, 2011. He was a beloved husband, brother, father, grandfather, friend, and artiste."
Born John Maus, he formed the band alongside Scott Engel and Gary Leeds in 1964. The unrelated American musicians adopted the name "Walker," and earned fame in the UK before their hits "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Any More)" and "Make It Easy on Yourself" made it big in the Us.
Former bandmate Gary wrote on his website, "John was the founder member of the group and lead singer in the early days. He was also a fantastic guitarist which a lot of people didn't realize.

A couple of weeks ago, we lost one of the longest-revered American directors around, Sidney Lumet, whose directorial career opened with a bang with 1957′s beloved 12 Angry Men, and ended fifty years later with the acclaimed crime drama Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead. With the help of regular SoS columnist and all-around authority Bill Mesce, we take on three of Lumet’s better-known films, having already discussed Network and Dog Day Afternoon on previous episodes: 1964′s The Pawnbroker, with Rod Steiger as a distraught Holocaust survivor; 1973′s Serpico, starring Al Pacino as the real-life NYC cop; and 1982′s The Verdict, with Paul Newman in an unusually grimy capacity as an alcoholic lawyer with a belated shot at redemption.

Listeners of Sound On Sight Radio know that we love to play music in between film reviews. We often receive emails with listeners complimenting the music we play, and usually people ask for the names of the artists and songs. So based on listener feedback, I’ve decided to post something new on the site. Welcome to Ricky D’s track of the day. Every day, I’ll select one of my new favourite songs and once in a while I’ll play a classic, but always something most people probably haven’t heard of. In other words, I won’t be choosing anything too mainstream.
Our track of the day comes from John Maus, an American composer and political philosophy and theory instructor at the University of Hawaiiʻi at Mānoa. He is perhaps best known for performing with Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, and more recently has released two...
