I cannot stop listening to the Avett Brothers. I just love their unique acoustic sound. Their latest record is good, but I really love Emotionalism and the two Gleam EPs. Just awesome.
Here is the song I cannot get out of my head. Wait for the metal outro.
 Bob Dylan - Must Be SantaNovember 21st 2009 23:46
Let me preface this by saying I am a HUGE fan of Dylan. Everything he did up to Desire is just perfection in my opinion.
But recent news of his Christmas album left me scrathing my head. Sure, it is for charity so I can perhaps overlook some of the cheesey-ness of the whole concept. But then i saw the video for "Must Be Santa". Oh. My. God. I cannot tell if Bob is finally off his rocker or if he is pulling a fast one on us (wouldn't be the first time).
Favorite Ryan Adams Unreleased, B-Side, Etc.November 14th 2009 23:43
DRA is notorious for his unreleased material. There is a tone of junk (DJ Reggie?) and a ton of good stuff, as well. Here is my list of favorite tracks that I think are worth hunting down. 1. Touch Feel Loose – The Suicide Handbook 2. Karina – 48 Hours 3. This is It (Acoustic) – Love is Hell Japanese Bonus Disk 4. Born Yesterday – Destroyer 5. Rosalie Come and Go – Fools Gold 6. La Cienega Just Smiled – The Suicide Handbook 7. Lions of Broadway – Elizabethtown Sessions 8. This is It – B-Side Single Version 9. Down in a Hole – Follow the Lights EP 10. Black Clouds – Black Clouds
Best Records of 2000sNovember 14th 2009 20:43
With this tumultuous decade coming to an end, there will be no doubt a flood of “best of” lists to bore us all to tears, I am sure. But I, for one, cannot resist this temptation. After all, a hallmark of the 00s is this new Web 2.0 with all its electronic media saturation. With that said, let me add to this web white noise.
Choosing a “best of” is difficult, obviously. How to choose a criteria? Most influential (thinking of Andre 5000)? Most units sold (re: Mily Cyrus)? Most paradigm-shifting (thinking of the Target Only LPs like Prince and Pearl Jam)? Best musically (thinking of Radiohead or Wilco). In the end, I decide to choose the record that were most important to me, personally. So here goes
Tiny VipersOctober 1st 2009 00:31
I recently heard a Tiny Vipers tune on XM. I have to admit I am a sucker for striped down acoustic guitars and female singers. From Joni Mitchell to Kaki King, there is just something about a woman and an acoustic guitar…

MTV VMA - Remeber when they mattered?September 17th 2009 00:48
I know, I know. VMA in the news because a jackass interrupted a tart (good call Obama). But let's be serious: the MTV Video Music Awards hasn't mattered since, oh I don't know, when did MTV stop playing videos? 1992? 1993
Beach Boys - SmileSeptember 7th 2009 18:12
Well, it is the end of summer. Like most years, I didn't go to the beach as often as I'd hoped. Strange how when we get older, there is less and less time for such things.
Anyway

I love making musical discoveries. With so much great music out there, it is hard to keep up.
