STATUS: I’m actually leaving the office before 6 pm. I know. I’m stunned too. What’s playing on the iPod right now? BLACK by Pearl Jam For the last couple of weeks, we’ve been interviewing for a new assistant. We are doing our final second round interview next week and then hopefully the new person will start. Sara and I can hardly wait I have to say. We are really missing having...

Bright Giant "s/t" EP The Des Moines, Iowa based Josh Davis Band decided to evolve into a more refined and organic style this past January and have reformed as Bright Giant. The new band has a raw energy that mixes rock, country, alternative with a chewy melodic center. It sounds a little like The Mother Hips with less psychedelic influence and more Foo Fighters injected in the mix. Opening...

The Allman Brothers' Live at the Filmore is one of the greatest live albums ever. The songs go on and on and they rock. The band is playing their heart out. Which brings me to Pearl Jam. Those of you who know me well know I've been...
It's been a few months now, and I realize I never got around to writing about the events of October 2009, which by any standard was an amazing month. I saw not one, but two bands I have wanted to see for more than 15 years; I ran (but mostly limped) through my second half marathon; I spent time with my college roommate and good friend, whose name I can't say here; and I made a fool of myself in front...
Well, after thinking about it for 48 hours, I have a gameplan with how to go about this Neil Young quandary. I want to expand my library beyond the tracks on Decade by picking up his first four albums. Neil Young , Everybody Knows This is Nowhere , After the Goldrush , and Harvest all boast nice remastering and inexpensive prices. So I'm going with that, not just for economic reasons, but for sanity...
Brock Butler : Brock, with a little help from some live overdubs, puts together a strong solo performance. Source: 11-20-2007 Cyndi Lauper & Destiny’s Child : Both Cyndi Lauper and Destiny’s Child have performed this song on their own, but I liked this collaboration better than the YouTube performances that can be found of the artists performing the tune on their own. Dino : Like the...
Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive It's true that punk-rock's elderly homecoming couple, Fred and Toody Cole, are soldiering on with a new project called Pierced Arrows in the wake of Dead Moon's demise. As with everything they touch going back to Fred's garage-rock classic, 'You Must Be a Witch,' Pierced Arrows rock out with all the guttural oomph of 16-year-olds in their parents' basement,...
