I went to see Ian MacKaye and Amy Farina's Evens, a couple of weeks ago in Peterborough, NH (of all places), and had a really great time. Here's a bit from my PopMatters review which went up last Friday:" MacKaye is just as surprised to be in New Hampshire-and almost as happy about it-as we are. Cursed by proximity to Boston (and, to a lesser extent, Northampton), New Hampshire has almost no ...

The Evens - Get Evens CD albumI've been playing this a lot recently, I'm trying to work out if I like it or not.

My friends and I saw The Evens (Ian Mackaye & Amy Farina) at the MERCYhouse in Amherst the other night. It was a benefit for The Flywheel, a nonprofit music space in Easthampton. Here's a video from that show, performing one of my favorite songs "You Won't Feel A Thing" Sheer awesomeness and inspiration:

It's award season, and I haven't done much on MOG. I read more blogs than I write, so it happens time-to-time. With my newly acquired college radio experience (that's +/- 65DaysofExp for those playing the MOG RPG), I want to present my top 10 albums from the time I started the gig until now. I might come up with a first half of 2006 list, but I'll be honest: my taste wasn't as indietastic. TOP 10

As soon as I got to the Evens concert last Friday night, I recalled the stories of the earliest Fugazi concerts. Instead of caring about Fugazi, a band that would go on to be one of the purest voices of alternative rock in the 1990s, the fans attended because “that dude from Minor Threat” was playing in the band.Since the formation of Fugazi, alternative rock has come and gone as the most popu

but great lake swimmers tonightnormanoak had to cancel thursday. for reasons that make chad suspicious.i was bummed. for about four minutes i sort of felt how this song sounds._formed in the autumn of 2001, the evens released their self-titled debut on Dischord in the spring of 2005. With a more laid-back sound than MacKaye's earlier work (outside of some tracks on Fugazi's 1999 Instrument so...

Happy Sunday! It's been a task to sit down in front of the computer and get anything done, I picked up my daughter from the ATL airport the day before yesterday(!!!!!)...we haven't seen each other in about 7 months as her mom and her live in Oklahoma(Ft. Sill). The irony of that is I moved from north Dallas to where I am now to be closer to her....anyway it is absolutely fabulous to have her h...
