The Black Keys - Attack & Release
2008-04-16 17:57
Why we like it: This two man band out of Akron, Ohio delivers a performance that anyone who can stomach (or loves) The White Stripes will appreciate. Some upbeat tracks, some down tempo, you can pick and choose for what kind of gathering you are hosting on a saturday night. ...

Greg Laswells future plans. The same as yesterday.
2008-04-16 17:13
I'm pretty sure that Laswell is exhausted these days. He just got off a few week tour with the Hotel Cafe crew, and this weekend he will head out to Europe until the middle of May. I must say that I'm extremely jealous of this man, as about 3 years ago today, we were probably smoking...

The Truth about Ryan Adams.
2008-04-16 15:23
Earlier today, on Ryans blog journal, he posted 11 truths about himself. He's quite the insane blogger, so it's hard to keep up with his constant pictures, films, and artwork. Sometimes I find myself completely aggravated that this hero can post upwards of 25 blogs a day. Who really has that...

2008-04-16 14:08
Oh me. Oh my. Oh Yipee! On tax day, Austin City Limits released it's lineup for its fall music festival taking place on September 26th - 28th. At only $170, you should get your tickets now, as I'm sure they are bound to sell out with a lineup like this. As headlining will be the...

Bear Colony - We Came Here to Die
2008-04-13 15:49
Why we like it: With the absence of the classic Smashing Pumpkins, Bear Colony updates their iconic Siamese Dream album. This will definitely keep you tapping your feet, and singing along. Great drum machine usage, and Hospital Rooms aren't for Lovers belongs on your playlist, immediately. Everyone...

Kathleen Edwards - Asking for Flowers
2008-04-13 15:23
Why we like it: Canadian s/s Edwards delivers a powerful performance in a love you/hate you relationship. Seems it's written from an honest place. It's intimate to a point that makes you feel uncomfortable, like someone is undressing you with their words. If you're into the acoustic women, you'll...

Laura Veirs - Year of Meteors
2008-04-13 15:19
Why we like it: Year of Meteors feels like a conversation that you have with Laura in a late night dorm-room type setting. She could just be making up the lyrics on the spot, or she could've written them down in her journal years ago. The production isn't over the top, which makes the...

A Fine Frenzy - One Cell in the Sea
2008-04-13 15:11
Genre: indie, singer-songwriter, piano
Why we like it: Alison Sudol, the brains and beauty behind AFF is absolutely adorable. It rings through her catchy hooks and melodies. While not as popular as some other female artists on the market right now, she will be soon. Her songs are brilliant, and her...
