Last week Bruce Springsteen announced that he would going out on tour with the E Street band in support of them re-issuing the The River as part of an expanded collection named the The Ties That Bind: The River Collection. It’s been 35 years since the original double album was release so I guess they…
Thursday the 10th: Chamomile and Whiskey / Old Arrows / Hunter’s Cannon @ The Fire Chamomile and Whiskey are from Charlottesville and they’ve got a down home fold feel to them that I dig. Thursday the 10th: Weekender / Vug Arakas / Sam Kogon @ Kung Fu Necktie Weekender is a Indie / Psych…
Have you ever dated someone that was part of your group of friends for years then one day for whatever reason you two ended up together? If anyone asked you about them in the past you would say “yeah, they’re cool” and maybe even acknowledge that they’re attractive but you just thought of them as friends….
That was one hell of a food coma! Actually I’m just lazy. I didn’t even eat much, just some chicken and salad. But at least I did some drinking. And some listening to music. Nothing new though and honestly, mostly The National. As I stated before, the beginning of “McCormack’s Wall” from the new Glen…
Everyone is taking about Grimes lately. I’m reading articles about how she is changing the world because sadly she’s one of the few pop stars responsible for the creative behind their music and I’m seeing shares, reviews, and general praise for her music on my social media feeds left and right.

Yesterday I found out one of my favorite apps that I have written about before; Pushbullet would be getting a “Pro” syncing service alongside the free version we have all come to know and love.

Wed. the 18th: Bonfires / King Buffalo / The Meddlesome Bells @ Ortlieb’s Meddlesome Meddlesome Meddlesome Bells have been called “the most criminally underrated band in Philly”… I’ve seen them and I can vouch for that. Don’t miss this one. Thur. the 19th: My Morning Jacket / Strand of Oaks @ Tower Theatre My…
I would like to say that I heard of Glen Hansard from his work with The Frames but really, like a lot of men my age it’s just because some girl made us see the film Once. Truth be told, I liked the movie, but the ending still bothered me. SPOILER ALERT: the two musicians…
It’s been over ten years since Sam Beam’s collaboration with the band Calexico was released. The In the Reins Ep was always an interesting listen and it still is. It starts off with “He Lays in the Reins” featuring Spanish Operatic vocals and contains great songs like the bluesy “Red Dust” and the western-ish “A…
Not long ago I was watching live Springsteen videos again and I ended up watching a concert from his 2014 Australian Tour that lasted nearly 4 hours. Clearly not having a job has allowed me to keep busy. Regardless, I surprised see that playing guitar with the band was not only The Boss and Stevie…
