i was just finishing up listening to caribou's swim on my itunes when the player spilled over to the next song on the playlist - carlon 's "cantaloupe". i can't remember how or where i got this song, but i love moments like these when something unexpected hits you and grabs your attention immediately. "cantaloupe" is a straightforward five minute southern folk ballad, achingly delivered amidst sweeping layers of psychedelic textures. it plods along wearily, keeping in step with its theme on the painful drudgery of living a life marked by buried lies and conversations run dry, [...]

Change is good. Marcy at Lost In Your Inbox threw herself into the Obama campaign, so it's no wonder that now the job is done she's experiencing withdrawals with a beautiful song by Nina Nastasia and Jim White. Music Is Art features a fundraiser for breast cancer awareness and prevention called Keep A Breast Foundation. To Die By Your Side features an impromptu composition by Ryan Adams that helps explain how Adams is such a prolific songwriter. It's the same impression I got when I [...]

Carlon is a four-piece indie band based in New Jersey (it's not just for burying Jimmy Hoffa anymore!) that sounds incredibly simliar to the Hollies and eerily favorable to the Band of Horses(Untitled Records' Rachel will NEVER let me live this down!). The band consists of Michael McWilliams(rhythm guitar, vocals), Ryan McGlynn(lead guitar, vocals), Jared Pollack(bass guitar) and Milo Venter(drums, percussion, vocals and they have combined to create a very mellow and harmony-filled sound, featuring the twangy rock I've loved since I was a little space cadet. The unique sound of the album is due in part to the band [...]

Over a week behind on this.... Noteworthy Albums Released on 9/30/08: Dungen : 4 (Kemado) – While I've heard they draw somewhat heavily from early Swedish pysch rock 'n' roll, they sound unique to me. The Swedes' fourth record is their most group oriented effort yet. Gustav Ejstes moves behind the piano and limits the flute solos. The album has a mellower vibe than the last two, with more emphasis on the free jazz; but they do manage to rock out a couple of [...]

Formed in 2001, these high school friends have tried out a few different styles over the years. Originally a punk band, on their latest EP, Wait Outside , this trio blends the energy of punk rock with their new found pop sensibilities and curiosity for atmospherics. Over these seven tracks, Caw! Caw! features unique guitar patterns, solid melodies, and a lot of boyhood fantasies. With a great cover by Liz Born, Wait Outside is an ep these three friends from an unnamed Chicago high school should be proud of. Listen to: [...]

This week, we've got two very different interpretations of pop from two very different locales. New York City's Mirror Mirror bring a cosmic edge to the ambiance of 60s songwriting with their debut album, The Society for the Advancement of Inflammatory Consciousness . And we also try to fit in as many tracks as possible from Portugal. The Man's new LP, Censored Colors . The Alaska band manages to blend glam and progressive rock elements into a dynamic and well-produced record. We've also got new music from Carlon, Mothlite, the Near Year, [...]
Sounding more like a band from the Carolina mountains than the Garden State, Ropeadope's latest indie offering Carlon doesn't hesitate to take hints from the south's folky Americana past. Their haunting reverb-soaked harmonies have a whisky-fueled energy that swells to a swaying pulse on debut LP Johari Window. Music like this can't flow from a [...]

Marisa (José's sister) - Junot Díaz - José (being the whitest Puerto Rican ever) On Thursday we had a great night. It started with wine and sushi in a crowd buzzing with energy at The Cleveland Playhouse . We savored everything our senses were taking in but didn't waste any time making our way over to the book signing where we would have the chance to interface with Junot Díaz. We had no idea what to expect upon meeting him, however he couldn't have been nicer. These days [...]

I've never really explained the name of this site... Yes, yes, it was taken from one of the greatest songs of all time, but it also seemed like a good way to express my love for bluegrass, americana, country, rockabilly, blues, etc. Real music. Music that has that born by the river soul. It's something that you just don't find that often anymore. Trainwreck Riders ... For a while I kept hearing tales of their raucous live sets, so about a week ago I hunted down a copy of their 2006 album, Lonely Road [...]
