T here are quite a few amazing Boston bands that shaped the sound of my younger days, but no other band has truly represented what I would soon come to define as "my style" of music more than Buffalo Tom. I can always find a song of theirs that represents a specific moment in my life, be it extremely happy or downright sad, and throughout the years the trio has continued to release album after album of time defining rock n' roll. Now it is not my intent to simply wax nostalgic about what Buffalo Tom has meant to me [...]

SOUND DISCOVERY Bands You Need to Know ARTIST PROFILE // BLACK BOOKS - They call their music, Southern Dream-Pop . These rousing songs soar, we'll definitely give them that but there's something else here - an edge, a little fuzz - maybe even a bit of darkness perhaps at the core of these songs, and it's the marriage of these two, that Black Books do best.

Velvet Underground için müzik tarihinin kilometre taşlarından biri dersek abartı yapmamış oluruz sanırım. Özellikle meşhur muzlu albüm; karanlık tınılar, başıbozuk vokaller, esrarlı besteler eşliğinde içten içe çürüyen Amerikan yaşamının ipliğini pazara çıkarmak amacıyla yapılmış manifesto niteliğinde bir çalışmaydı. 60'lı yılların sonunda hippilerin cirit attığı bir dönemde vokal ve gitarda Lou Reed , bas ve klavyede John Cale , gitarda Morrison , davulda M.Tucker , tefi ve vokaliyle dünyalar güzeli Nico ve beyin takımında Andy Warhol. 90'lı yılların başında yayınlanan Heavan & Hell, [...]
A tribute album to a legendary band becomes a time capsule of '90s underground music, and preserves one caterpillar an instant before it transformed into a mammoth butterfly.
D.L. Anderson It's unlikely bird videos will ever achieve the same degree of online adoration as, say, cat videos, but when said clips come courtesy of artists who push the boundaries of what can be called folk music the way that North Carolina's Bowerbirds and Chicago's Andrew Bird do, a little more attention should be paid. Both artists released their new albums this week - The Clearing and Break It Yourself , respectively - and both have marked the occasion with the [...]

[Photo of Shit Horse at Habana Bar, Austin, TX 3/16/2011 during SXSW. Photo by Michael Piantigini.] Twenty aught-eleven was one of those star-aligning years that gifted me with tons of music I like - This year's list is admittedly pretty heavy on my wheelhouse veterans, but how lucky to still get such strong stuff from bands like Buffalo Tom , Five Eight , and the friggin' Feelies ! Having taken to heart The Long Winters ' John Roderick's admonitions on top 10 lists (and let's hope he gets that [...]
This year in music has been quite impressive. While 2010 gave us clear-cut, stand alone winners, it was much harder to determine which album was Top Ten worthy, let alone the best of 2011. Most sites have published their lists already, and while many albums appear on the same lists, the top ten varies greatly from list to list. Don't expect us to be any different.

Marcelo Krasilcic The Magnetic Fields are back. But wait, you might argue, they never really went away. Sure, three albums in the past decade doesn't really match the rate of output that Stephin Merritt was maintaining in the '90s - particularly when you take into account his other projects - but it ain't nothing. And yet it's accurate on many levels that The Magnetic Fields are back: they're back on Merge , the label that released their greatest records including the risky and magnificent 69 Love Songs [...]
As 2011 comes to an end, we are taking a look back at some of our favorite posts of the year by our guest editors. Nothing if not a model of consistency, Buffalo Tom has been making the same decent-to-great music since 1992’s Let Me Come Over. Actually the Massachusetts trio’s third album, Let Me [...]

[Buffalo Tom and guests at the Brighton Music Hall, Allston, MA 11/27/2011. Photos by Michael Piantigini.] Night 1 coverage here and night 2 is here . "Did you come here to remember, or to forget?" - Buffalo Tom's "It's You" And so a terrific weekend of sweaty, feedback-drenched weekend came to a close and Buffalo Tom blew out the candles on 25 years. Night 3 didn't have as many surprises and guests as the first two nights, but the diehards - many of whom [...]
