Chatham County Line are another great band that i totally neglected to mention last year. I listened to their record 'IV' a ton. I sort of had my own little bluegrass revival towards the end of 2008 with the new Avett Brother's EP, the latest Crooked Still album, and CCL. Here is a beuutiful song off of the album, maybe my favorite...enjoy. * Chatham County Line - 'Sweet Eviction' MP3

When I started posting my 42 Favorite Finds of 2008 over at WNEW , I declined to say what I thought were the best records of the year. Instead I decided to write about my favorite listens of the year. That means anything from any year could be included thereby freeing myself myself from writing the gratuitous, overplayed, phone-it-in "Best Of" list. Then Rolling Stone released their list of Records Of The Year . Clearly, a bunch of caffeine-swilling, underpaid, cubicle-inhabiting , self-aggrandizing weenies sat around the Starbucks one day and [...]

We're not just about the classic tracks here in F45 Land. We like them crazy young'uns and their rock and roll, too. Michael Franti And Spearhead with Cherine Anderson - Say Hey (I Love You) I've loved his message since I first heard Stay Human while walking through Virgin Records at Union Square. Are we praying with him for change in this country come November 4th? Hell, yes. Molly Hatchet - Flirtin' With Disaster [...]

I'm on vacation--the first in two and half years (barring holidays and family obligations). The past few months have been a blur of mounting responsibilities at work, unmet project deadlines, and numerous sleepless nights. "Make the World Go Away" - Eddy Arnold In short, I've spent the past few months of my life buried in my email inbox. The result has been an increasingly joyless existence, fraught with worry, dread and panic. Something has to change. [...]
Dave Wilson et sa bande sont de retour deux ans après le très réussi Speed Of The Whippoorwill. Le logiquement nommé IV place une fois de plus Chatham County Line à part dans la mouvance des groupes old-time. La virtuosité n'est pas ce qui les préoccupe en premier et c'est tant mieux. L'accent est surtout mis sur les mélodies, tour à tour accrocheuses ou mélancoliques, et les harmonies vocales,
The other night I dreamt that I was having some kind of lovely, tactile flirtation with Carrie Brownstein. Awesome. I have a lot of respect for the woman...Excuse 17, Sleater-Kinney, the ever-literate Monitor Mix...I'm not so keen on Thunderant, but that can be forgiven. Unfortunately, although in this dream we were clearly pals, I was something of a sycophant (unlike last week when I was being pleasured by Sunny Sweeney and didn't need to be...another dream I hasten to add! I do find it rather... Please visit Ceci N'est Pas un Blog for the full content...the rest [...]

While the message board itself may have gone a.w.o.l. the compilation we were in the middle of making at the time of its demise will live on. For an unknowingly final compilation we did a fine job if I do say so myself. Joe Pug, fresh off his appearance on songs:illinois yesterday, makes an appearance for a second month in a row while Stucky and I both contributed tracks from Slim Cessna's Auto Club. Mcallan1 submitted a track by Hayes Carll I liked so much I ordered his cd today. Considering Miles of Music's slow shipping department expect [...]
DAY 3 Day 3 had a lot going on, and after Day 2 mess ups, I was determined to get it right. My trainer took my measurements upon my return and found I'd lost 4.5" off my thighs, which didn't surprise me given the 76756879 miles I probably walked Day 3 alone… 1. Delorentos After missing them on Day 1, I finally got to catch Delorentos out of Dublin. Gotta love cute Irish boys. I only stayed

I haven't kept up too well with a lot of the releases this week, but there are a few obvious names that stand out. Those being Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks' Real Emotional Trash and The Gutter Twins' (Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan) Saturnalia . I also plan on checking out White Hinterland's Phylactery Factory , as everything that i've heard so far has been excellent. I've heard that her (Casey Dienel) debut back in 2006 is pretty solid, so that might be something to check out [...]
ARTIST: Toyota Yaris and Urban Outfitters Announce the 2nd Year of Free Yr Radio at SXSW Simian Mobile Disco, Yeasayer and Times New Viking to kick off March 12 launch party DATE: 02-29-08 WRITER: Mark Ziemke PHOTO: fyr Out of all the music festivals around the world, only one has the sheer magnetism that Austin's SXSW has. Coachella is too hot, Bonnaroo has a funny name, but SXSW is just right. This year is no exception. And to kick off the festivities, [...]
Chatham County Line have made a great record. It's one I wasn't going to mention just because I assumed so many other music blogs would have written about it by now. But so far nothing. Out on March 4 on Yep Roc, IV continues the bluegrass based americana that the band is known for except that on the single "Chip Of A Star" the band sounds more like the roots pop of The Avett Brothers than the traditional bluegrass of Bill Monroe, Ralph Stanley et al. It's a beautiful song that wouldn't be [...]
Comme les Hackensaw Boys ou les Avett Brothers, le credo de Chatham County Line c'est le bluegrass avec une touche d'indie credibility. Du moins c'est ce que ces 4 gars de Caroline du Nord proclament, car dans les faits on est plutôt dans le sillage d'une musique old-time classique, mais avec ce soupçon d'ouverture susceptible d'attirer un public nouveau, plus jeune, plus branché (cette fois-ci,
