June 17, 2011

Father’s Day is a mere 2 days away, so if you haven’t purchased a gift that reminds your father of the stress in his life (i.e. some sort of organizer, business casual apparel, and/or a yard tool), better get on that.

June 3, 2011

Buxter Hoot’n’s latest album opens with a tune called “Mariel” that will immediately remind you of The Head and The Heart. While lead singer Vince Dewald’s voice is a little deeper than Josiah Johnson and Jonathan Russell, there are similarities – Girl/boy harmonies, tempo changes and some violin mixed in for good measure. I have [...]

A fan named Callie had emailed us about Seryn way back in January. Told us that we would definitely like them based on the other music we like. Turns out Callie was right. Thanks Callie. It also turns out that I have the memory of a jellyfish as I promptly forgot about them. I’d like [...]

Ponderosa – Moonlight Revival [Album Review]

May 25, 2011

One of my must-see bands at SxSW was J. Roddy Walston & The Business. And being the meticulous planner that I am, I figured seeing them at 1AM after 12 hours of killing Lone Star tallboys would be a good idea. We arrived at the No Depression showcase early to down few more in preparation [...]

Okkervil River – Wake and Be Fine [New Video]

May 17, 2011

We posted our review of Okkervil River’s new album I Am Very Far, but neglected to point out the video released for their new single “Wake and Be Fine.” The album continues to grow on me and the video places Will Sheff”s lyrics where they belong – all over the damn place. Okkervil River – [...]
