Back in May I bought the "New" Elliott Smith album New Moon, which contains 24 never released on album tracks from his Kill Rock Stars days and it is amazing. This B-Side / Demo album is better than the finished products that big name artists are putting out now a days. The song-writing and guitar playing are Elliott at his best with that voice that is strictly Elliott. And though most of these so

Last week I enjoyed the music of Austin based blues artist Guy Forsyth at The Blue Door in Oklahoma City. He took the stage at 9 pm and played until 12:45 am making it one of the longest and best sets I’ve ever seen. He played a slew of instruments and one carpentry tool (the saw) with great precision. After the show he took time to talk with the twenty people that made up the crowd. He playe...

The experiment consisted of forty cars in a parking garage in downtown OKC (and once more in Austin) with their stereos turned up and all playing different things to make a unique sound.

While strolling around my local Target the other day something caught my attention, it was the Christmas music stand. So I saunter on over to give it a look, they had James Taylor’s Christmas album, the new Sarah Mclachlan, a compilation of great holiday songs, and there it was an Ali Lohan (little sister of Lindsay)album. After seeing this I was on the edge of a meltdown. Over the past few year
