A few things have gone well for David Lamb recently. His Providence-by-way-of-Maine-by-way-of-Seattle pet project Brown Bird seems to be hitting a lot of right notes of late. After releasing an impressive album last year (2008's The Bottom Of The Sea), Brown Bird have been playing and touring relentlessly and solidifying their sound, developing into a miniature orchestra of harmonized voices ...

I saw Annie in Providence a couple of months ago. Her set blew me away. There's not much more I can say about that. OK, there is. I have a crush on her and her band. There I said it. This vid is from a recording done during the Americana Music Festival, and a cameo is had by a lone PBR, sittin pretty in the corner. Hope you enjoy.[now with added goodness, "Dirty Laundry" from the same session]...

I've stumbled upon a song, and an artist, that just intrigues me. Her voice is delicate, the music even more so. It's slow and sultry, the beat falling so far behind that it's almost lost. I love that. Here's a MOG debut for Miss Elisapie Issac. Elisapie Isaac - Why Would I Cry? (from her debut lp There Will Be Stars) http://www.myspace.com/elisapieisaacAbout Elisapie Isaac (from her myspac...

I just wanted to express that. I haven't posted in a while but felt I needed to recognize a true visionary's passing. RIP, my man.

I spied this one on Headline News this morning, of all places....What happens when you take Press Conference favorites like Allen Iverson (....Practice?), Jim Mora (...Playoffs??), Dennis Green (They were who we thought they were!), and Joe Namath (I wanna kish you...), and mash them up into a strangely addictive and manageable video? Check it out. Genius stuff.

Excerpt written by Bill Flanagan for Ilo's MySpace page:http://www.myspace.com/IloFerreira So Jimmy Buffett walks into a bar… This being Jimmy Buffett, the bar is on some remote corner of the map - in this case Cape Verde, the Portuguese archipelago off the coast of West Africa. Jimmy was touching down in his plane like Indiana Jones on his way from Puerto Rico to Bamako, Mali on the first par.

While I live a mere hour away from the Red Sox hub, I unfortunately didn't make the trek to Boston for the opening night of Phish's Summer Tour. Fortunately, throught the miracle of texts, twitter, and iPhones, I was able to get live video, setlist updates, photos, and pictures instantaneously, while sitting in the comfort of my own home. The ext morning the soundboards were posted on Phish's...

Thanks to Bruce Springsteen's website, we've got a tasty little tidbit from The Avett Brothers clan: The indie-folk-grass band covering The Boss's own "Glory Days" as part of the Hangin' Out On E Street video series. I can sink my teeth into this.

Lots and lots of ringing going on in there...note to self: TURN DOWN THE AKRON/FAMILY I'm not much in the mindset for a full review...so, long story short. I've always ignored Akron/Family. For no reason, other than I've got SOOOO much to listen to, sometimes a good album gets passed over. Not so much ignored, but glanced at, and forgotten. Their new album, Set 'em Wild, Set 'em Free, though,...
