Pony Up! Stays Gold
It's been three years in the making, but Pony Up!'s third album Stay Gold is now out and about. It's hard to believe, but their last album, Make Love to the Judges With Your Eyes, was one of the first albums that I wrote about, way back here. I've loved the girls since their self titled debut EP back in 2005, having been turned on to them indirectly through Ben Lee, who was playing a cover of t...

1,000
Every year that I celebrate the anniversary of this blog I relate how I never imagined it lasting so long. I certainly never imagined writing my one thousandth post, which is what I'm doing today. One thousand times I've shared a song or two (or five), or a video, or a contest, or a concert review, or some such music related content. It kind of snuck up on me, too. It struck me in the early nin...

Beach Frolicking
So, yeah. It's been about a week since I've thrown any tunes up for you all to listen to. What can I say? It's summer. It's finally stopped raining every day up here in New England and the temp's are getting up into the darn hot range. Darn hot and sticky I should say.That being said, I'll give you the above picture, some frolicking on the beach, not that I've done any of it lately, but the cou...

Classic Sinatra
"His songs are his home and he lets you in, but you know that to sing like that you've got to have lost a couple of fights. To know tenderness and romance you've got to have had your heart broken." -Frank Sinatra, as described by Bonoupon receiving the Grammy Legend AwardSo looking back through the archives, I realized that Frank Sinatra's music has appeared in fourteen different posts over th...

Ray Charles goes country
"The words to country songs are very earthy like the blues, see, very down. They're not as dressed up, and the people are very honest and say, 'Look, I miss you, darlin', so I went out and I got drunk in this bar.' That's the way you say it. Where in Tin Pan Alley will say, 'Oh, I missed you darling, so I went to this restaurant and I sat down and I had dinner for one.' That's cleaned up now, y...

The Crystal Method's new method
I can still remember first listening to Vegas when it came out. Flippin' incredible it was. While not completely revolutionary, it was something completely different for me, an electronic album with some serious bite. It's hard to believe that it's over a decade old and I still find myself listening to it and enjoying it just as much as I did ten years ago.Just last month, The Crystal Method dr...

Dillanthology 2
So I've been on vaca the last few days, hence the lack of new music around here. I was a little bummed because I had meant to post on Dillanthology 2: Dilla's Remixes For Various Artists, the second in the series from Rapster Records (read about the first here), before I headed out, but you know how it goes. It was slated to hit shelves on June 23rd, but lo and behold, much to my surprise today...

In Living Cover
Although I didn't say it then, I'll admit it now: Jay Brannan's album Goddamned was my favorite album of 2008. There, it's out. Even now, a year after writing about it, I still can't wear the goddamned thing out, either. I just don't get tired out it, it's that good. That being said, when I got wind of a new release from Jay, I was over the moon with excitement. That new release hits shelves, v...

The Budos Band stings again
So for those of you out there who are Budos Band fans (which should be pretty much all of you), today is the day that the band dropped their self titled, seven track EP. And because the folks over at Daptone Records are good like that, it's available digitally as well as on CD and vinyl. Its seven tracks were recorded after The Budos Band I sessions but before their second full length (although...
