If you pay attention to the news, you know there's a catastrophe happening down south in the Gulf of Mexico. It started in late April, when an offshore oil well exploded and began leaking crude oil into the water. Since then as much as a million gallons continue to spill out each day, while the oil company feebly tries to stop the flow. Meanwhile the thick toxic stuff is washing into Gulf shorelines and threatens to kill wildlife, ruin the wetlands and destroy the livelihoods of tens of thousands of Americans. It seems to me that [...]

This is probably is the place where we should be counting off the best albums or songs of 2009, or of the decade, but we're not gonna do that. And it would also be appropriate to make a new year's resolution or two. OK: 1. We're going to keep on rockin' in the new year. 2. We resolve to help you rock in the new year. But we want to take this opportunity to restate our mission: to share with you some cool music and interesting stories throughout the year. We love the music, and we hope that [...]

Arrow Clare and the Reasons These days find many bands attempting styles of yesteryear but few sound like they actually belong there. With Arrow , their new full length release, Clare and the Reasons have crafted an album which sits naturally between Pet Sounds and the soundtrack for What's New Pussycat . It's best described as "lush," an exercise in early 70's symphonic pop. The combination of orchestral glides, Beatles-esque arrangements, and Burt Bacharach infused romanticism make the album a wise choice for [...]

What it really is - and it shall hereafter be referred to as SXSW - is a huge-ass party with more than a thousand music acts playing nearly continuously for about four days. Big Fun. Over the years we've covered this event for various news media outlets, but we stopped doing that about 10 years ago. Now we just go for the [...]
