Sons of Kentucky :: Dwight Yoakam & Will Oldham
Last year Filter magazine had a light bulb of an idea getting native Kentucky songwriters/actors Dwight Yoakam and Will Oldham to interview one another. Upon seeing the artwork for the feature I knew I had […]
Peter, Bjorn And John / Explosions In The Sky
Peter, Bjorn And John’s latest full length Writer’s Block finally saw its U.S. release this past Tuesday coupled with a bonus disc of six additional tracks. Anyone who became entranced with the Stockholm trio’s synth/folk, sixties […]

Great Lake Swimmers :: Hands In Dirty Ground EP
I did not have the pleasure of catching Tony Dekker’s Great Lake Swimmers live this past year, but a friend was kind enough to send me a copy of their tour-only Hands In […]
Apples In Stereo :: New Magnetic Wonder
You could hardly fault the casual Elephant Six fan for being under the impression The Apples In Stereo had long ago disbanded; after all, five years is a long time for an artist or group to […]

Around The Web :: SXSW 2007 And More….
One of the more jaw-dropping DJ sets I have laid eyes and ears on was J Rocc’s Stones Throw tribute to J Dilla this past January here in L.A. at the PLUG […]
Revisiting :: Neko Case Blacklisted
Although I have owned, and enjoyed, this album for years now, there is something refreshingly new to it that is just now beginning to reveal itself to me. It’s as if another […]
The Good, The Bad And The Queen
Other than Democrazy I have actively sought out anything and everything Damon Albarn has laid his name to, and chances are I will eventually get around to that collection as well. This […]
Meters :: Live NYC @ The Bottomline 1977
I acquired this 1977 Meters show in 2000 along with the Showboat Lounge show that I posted in January. At the time — and this still may be the case — locating quality live documents […]

Arab Strap :: Ten Years Of Tears
The only bad thing about Scotland’s Arab Strap’s new release, Ten Years Of Tears , is that it is also the duo’s last release. Brutal realists to a fault, Arab Strap never pulled any punches documenting […]
