The Tallest Man on Earth – The Wild Hunt

Monday, April 19, 2010

0 Comments

Here is the new album by The Tallest Man on Earth, The Wild Hunt. It is all here: The words. The voice. The melodies. Ten perfect songs. The Wild Hunt picks up where 2008’s Shallow Grave left off, with Matsson doing what he does best. It is unmistakably The Tallest Man on Earth, from the [...]

Spoonboy – I Love You This Is a Robbery

Wednesday, April 14, 2010

1 Comment

I missed updating yesterday, had to get a filling that fell out replaced… and I guess now I need a root canal. Anyhow, here is another artist from plan-it-x. Spoonboy (born 1983) is a member of Washington, D.C.-based punk-pop band, The Max Levine Ensemble. He is definitely a political artists whose actions reflect that. Anyhow, [...]

Kepi was the bassist and vocalist for Sacramento, California based pop-punk band the Groovie Ghoulies. He has been recording and touring both with a full band and as an acoustic soloist since the Ghoulies’ break-up in mid 2007. If you ever get a chance to see him play live, do it. Great music, great stories, [...]

Nana Grizol – Love It Love It

Thursday, April 8, 2010

0 Comments

“…The catchy, heartfelt crunch of the album’s opener, “Circles Round The Moon,” segues seamlessly into the brassy, beautiful circus-lullaby, “Tambourine-n-Thyme.” Things get sad and stripped down with “Tiny Rainbows” — a gentle plaint nudged toward the light by the brilliant horns. And “Broken Cityscapes” gets positively naked: Theo’s adamant vocal sounds above his acoustic guitar [...]

Just a heads up, I will most likely not be updating this weekend. The Avett Brothers are a non-traditional bluegrass band that originated in Concord, North Carolina. The two brothers, Seth and Scott, formed the group after the breakup of the former rock band, Nemo, adding a third member, Bob Crawford. More recently, they have [...]

Blackbird Raum – Under the Starling Host

I got a chance to see this band play at the Trunkpsace in Arizona. Great music can really bring a great crowd together. I would write out more but I wiped out on my bicycle (first go at a foot retention system) a bit ago and my hand is really not liking to space bar. [...]

Greenland is Melting – Our Hearts Are Gold, Our Grass Is Blue

Wednesday, March 24, 2010

I am super excited to post this one. Between bluegrass and punk you will find this incredible band. From Gainesville, FL, Greenland is Melting is a hardworking trio that finds it possible to get by with the help of a suitcase bass drum instead of a drummer, a banjo, acoustic guitar, bass and words that [...]

Here is a fun album. Laura Marling (born 1st February 1990) is an English indie folk singer. The 20-year-old small town girl – Reading, United Kingdom just outside of Eversley to be exact – sings about love, lust and romance, the futility of religion, self-loathing and human psychology. She began playing the guitar at the [...]
