Early Morning Swim
OK, a little shameless self promotion. I’ve found a band down here in North Carolina. It’s called Early Morning Swim. A bit folksy, but we have some songs that rock for sure. The band is being reformed right now by the lead singer/song writer/acoustic guitar (Mike Musto) with all new members. [...]
Se Dice Bisonte, No Bufalo
Omar Rodriguez Lopez of Mars Volta at Bonnaroo 2005
Omar has put out a new CD “Se Dice Bisonte, No Bufalo” which you can download now from iTunes or get in stores on Wed. I haven’t heard it yet, but early reviews are saying it sounds alot like studio albums from Mars Volta, but a [...]
New Spree MP3
I came across a new mp3 from Fragile Army this morning. Sounds great, as I’ve heard a few songs from this disk, I can’t wait till it comes out.

bonnaroo rollcall #4, Cold War Kids
OK, so I haven’t been doing as many of these as I wanted to, so I’m hitting bands that sound fair cool and I might go check out, but are not big names. Hense, Cold War Kids. Besides having a kick ass name, they really sound really great. Hailing from Long Beach [...]
bonnaroo schedule
My picks.
Thursday.
Why Thursday, because this is the first year I plan to be there on Thursday and ready to see shows. I reccomened everyone else do it as well.
Single reason? Comedy Tent.
If you where at Bonnaroo last year and tried to go see Lewis Black or any other comedians, you probably didn’t [...]
Off the Grid
The Beastie Boys have a new instrumental album, The Mix-Up, scheduled for release on June 26, 2007. Just hearing this one song, Off the Grid, reminds me of their instrumentals on Check Your Head and Ill Communication. There is no sitting still on this one. It’ll make you shake that [...]
The Foundry Field Recordings
Every once in a while I’ll come across a new band which is so good, that it surprises me that I haven’t heard of them previously. The Foundry Field Recordings is such a band. The band hails from Columbia, Missouri and was originally started by Billy Schuh. The band began under [...]
it’s a white stripes day
iTunes announced today it’s Icky Thump pre-sale. What’s the big deal you ask? Well, you get a digital booklet, which I’m sure is the same thing you’d get in paper versino with the actual CD, but you also get an iTunes exclusive live track. You can order it here, this link will open [...]
Icky Thump
Man, I really can’t wait for Bonnaroo. White Stripes, one of the bands I’m most excited to see/shoot will be there for the first time. I’m afraid they are going to be on the main stage, but I’m hoping the will be on the second stage so we can see them a bit better. [...]
The Police and Bonnaroo Ticket Giveaway
The Police are headlining Bonnaroo this year and just annouced, are giving away a free pair of tickets. Go. Enter. If you win them you can always sell them or I have a few freinds that would love to go, but just don’t have the money.
changing music
Ok, time for my ranting. I’ve always been a music lover. i try to stay a bit ahead of the curve, don’t try to listen to what everyone else is listening to and get a hold of new music when ever I can and let me friends know about it. Well, that’s what these time [...]
gUiLLeMoTs
OK, new band I’ve been giving a good listen to out of the UK. The gUiLLeMoTs, great indy sound. Creative and full of life. I really started listening to them because of show on lablogotheque’s Take Away Shows on DailyMotion. All the videos on there are incredible, though many are in French, [...]
What are you listening to?
OK, so I’ve added a little widget thing in the bottom of the right column of this page. It shows the last 10 songs Paul and I have played on our computers. I’m on top and Paul is the second one. It’s powered through a fair cool music site, Mog.
Mog is a fair well thought [...]
:::…Lebowski Fest…:::
OK, o I have to plug a festival that celebrates one of my favorite movies. Lebowskifest! It’s on it’s 6th year and it’ sin of all places Louisville, Ky. Man I have to go, live music, bowling, white russians, costume parties, what could be better? One of these years I’m going [...]
Polyphonic Spree, tour and track
The Polyphonic Spree are back with a new album The Fragile Army on June 19. They are also launching a tour to support to follow. Too bad it won’t be anywhere near me, but maybe those of you in Columbus can road trip up to Cleveland to catch them. I have to [...]
Concert Vault
Who doesn’t love live music, well chances are if your reading this blog regulary then your into some sort of music. I found this site not long ago and it’s pretty cool, if has a whole bunch of older concerts recorded, lots you can buy and download, some you can stream and listen to.
Wilco, Sky Blue Sky
OK, maybe it’s just me, but while I think this album is very strong. I think maybe the touring boys have been hangin out with the Bonnaroo crowd too long. Lyrically, tops. Wilco always brings story telling, melodies, and verses that take the listener through what Jeff Tweedy is thinking and I [...]
Rilo Kiley back with new album Aug 20
Rilo Kiley at Bonnaroo 2005, click for more photos
Rilo Kiley will release their fourth album ‘Under the Blacklight’ on August 20, as announced on NME today. Hopefully alot more rocking tunes from Jenny Lewis and the rest of the band will grace us for this release.
More Festival News
More festival announcements out today, The 6th Annual Jam cruise announced it’s line up today. It’s more of on the jam band scene, but it’s got to be the most different way’s to see a concert, on a boat sailing out from Florida and around with stops in Roatan, Honduras and Costa Maya, Mexico.
So far, [...]
Ever hear of Summerfest?
Maybe you should. Summerfest could just be the mother of all music festivals. It’s the worlds largest music festival, boasting huge crowds and running an amazing 11 day time span from June 28 to July 8. The line up is very diverse, not your normal shows for a festival. That and [...]
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Video from their new album, if you haven’t heard the new album I give it high marks. This video has a few songs from their new Baby 81 disk.
They also have a video up for Ain’t No Easy Way Out.
Austin City Limits
I’ve always wanted to go to Austin City Limits Festival. Though I’d love to go without ever stepping foot in Texas, but that’s just me. The ACL Fest has announced some of their lineup for the Sept 14-16 show. Many of the same artists that will be at Bonnaroo, though some nice other [...]
