So the past two times I've gotten an absolute itch to see a show, I've gotten lucky - The Wailers were coming, and then Badfish, and I was sated for awhile. Now, I've got that urge again (less than 2 weeks later, which isn't bad, considering that when I was younger and richer I averaged 2 per week) and this time, NOBODY COOL IS COMING. All weekend. No good shows.A slight possibility is *The ...

Here is my promised Hackensaws post. It's a shame; as I sit here ripping all of my CD's to my computer I realized that my Hackensaws fav, Get Some, was a casualty if a recent move. I could only salvage the 1st track. More will follow when I get Dad to make a copy....enjoy.

Here are a couple of videos from one of my favorite bands right now: **The Packway Handle Band**. They're from **Athens, GA** so I get to see 'em all the time here at the **Georgia Theatre**.

The Hackensaw Boys [photo by Aaron Farrington]Even though Labor Day has passed us by and September has begun to set in, summer is in no way over just yet. We've still got a couple weeks left to let in all hang out and if you're looking for a great way to blow out one of the final summertime weekends, I gotta suggest you head up to Veritas Vineyard this Saturday, September 12th for the last of ...

I've been kind of turned off by the line up SuperFly has scheduled at Bonnaroo for the past few years. But this year's 'Roo looks to be off the chain like freed slaves. Unparalleled are the headliners...The Police, TOOL, and WSP. Bringing the reunited Police's tour to Bonnaroo is going to be electric.
