Reunions - dB (yes), Kinks (maybe)
The Real Paul Jones (Free subscription) | 11/04/2008
I was lucky enough to catch the dBs reunion on Saturday at a get out the vote rally at the Johnson Center for Undergrad Excellence. Chris Stamey and Peter Hosapple backed by Mitch Easter on bass and Will Rigby on drums. I first saw the frontmen and perhaps Mitch as the Sneakers then the H-Bombs [...]

Bootleg City: Big Star, “Radio City”
Popdose (Free subscription) | 10/31/2008
You get what you deserve, Big Star fans, so here are the rest of the tracks from the 2000 bootleg What’s Goin’ Ahn. The “rough mixes” of songs from Radio City (1974), like the ones from #1 Record last week, aren’t lost treasures by any means, but the demos of songs that didn’t make it [...]

Music Spolight: Pressure Boys Reunion
The Mill (Free subscription) | 05/01/2008
This weekend, if you see a lot of long-lost locals, people who you used to see out and about decades ago but who long since headed for other parts or maybe just don't get out as much, you can blame these mugs for drawing them out. The Pressure Boys ruled local music in the late ‘80s [...]

The Saturday Mixtape: 3/15/08
Popdose (Free subscription) | 03/15/2008
Hi all. I’m guest-posting for Jeff today. When I was probably about 13 or so, my Uncle Mark made a series of mixtapes for my family that I’ve tried to reconstruct here. He was a big fan of Irish music, so it seemed appropriate to post this as close to St. Patrick’s [...]

American Gun - Twangville House Band
Twangville (Free subscription) | 02/29/2008
Todd Mathis is a Twangville posse member and front man of the up and coming alt-country band American Gun, along with friend and fellow songwriter Donald Merckle. I guess that would make them the official house band here at Twangville. Based on their new CD, that is a good thing. They recently released The Means [...]

dB's "Love Is For Lovers"
The Poor Ditching Boy (Free subscription) | 02/27/2008
(from the Bearsville LP, Like This , 1984) W hile 1982’s Repercussion gets the nod as my favorite dB’s album, I will say that with every passing spin on the turntable that their follow-up record, Like This , deserves a fair amount of recognition for exceeding the barrage of low expectations that were heaped upon it even before its arrival. Much of this was due to the untimely departure of Chris Stamey,...

One week from today, on March 4, 2008, Chatham County Line, the four piece alt-bluegrass band from Raleigh, NC, will release their fourth CD titled IV.

Friday Rock'n'Roll Roundup.
Absolute Powerpop (Free subscription) | 02/22/2008
Time today to spotlight three discs that come down on the much more rockin' side of power pop, one of which you may already be familiar with, and two others you might not: Watts-One Below The All Time Low . This Boston band has been featured on Not Lame and elsewhere already, so forgive me for being late to the party. But a party it is, as this band named after the Rolling Stones' drummer does their...

Me, rocking out a decade ago
Seattle Powerpop (Free subscription) | 01/17/2008
About ten years ago I lived in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and played in a pretty rocking little combo called Gumption with my buddy Kurt Hagardorn. Well, that band's EP is now available via CD Baby and several online music outlets. So, if you find yourself wondering, what was Gary doing ten years ago? The answer is making a Gumption CD with Chris Stamey of the dBs. You can hear samples at the band's...
