Check out five performances from Austin City Limits airing on PBS.

Who hasn’t done this at the first sight of a brand new pair of socks and shiny hardwood floor?

TweetShare They’re back. Is that fair to say? Wilco’s early discography is so strong that no matter how good their most current release is, it’s bound to come off feeling like ‘the best thing they’ve done since 2002′ [or 1999, depending on who you ask] rather than a great album all on its own. Perhaps [...]

TweetShare I really hate these video teasers that seem to be the new trend these days, but they are effective because now I can’t wait to hear more from Wilco.  In this appropriately named teaser, “Almost,” we see Wilco tearing it up.  The the video starts out as a set up and the cadence of [...]

TweetShare If there’s one genre of music I never expected to start getting into, it’s country. I mean, is there anything likeable about it? How often do we need to hear a downtrodden ex-cattle rustler growl about the tribulations of the trail, or how he’s called Sue, or whatever? Don’t even get me started on [...]

TweetShare Buy the album from Amazon – MP3 | CD Ask anyone in Knoxville, Tennessee who the best local band is, and they’ll tell you, hands down, The Dirty Guv’nahs.  They’ve been voted “Best Band” by the city’s leading alternative newspaper, Metro Pulse, for three years in a row now, and for good reason.  After [...]

TweetShare Two things that will always make me melt upon first listen. Hammond Organs, and “Frank, this free sammich is for you”. Admittedly I’m not an organ connessuier so I can’t say whether it’s a Hammond Organ or just a regalur organ you see in churches and shit, but either way when it’s coupled with the skuzz-bass [...]

TweetShare I think there’s something particularly special about music that’s really evocative of a time or place. It’s why I never grow tired of Guillemots‘ “Through The Windowpane” – every time I listen I actually feel like I’m on a train to Brazil, and end up heartbroken in São Paulo. Pretty epic. The Lonely Wild [...]

I got in touch with a lot of artists and bloggers who were all kind enough to get back to me and take part in Desert Island Discs. If you’re unaware of the concept behind Desert Island Discs, check out the [...]

TweetShare One thing I’ve discovered about being involved with a site like this is that you never know what the day is going to bring.  There’s nothing like the sheer pleasure of coming across a band you’ve never heard of, having no preconceived ideas about what they are going to sound like and then being [...]
