Sep 7, 2011, 3:51pm Rocker Magazine
Sloan - G Turns to D / Money City Maniacs - Cambridge MA, 6/28/11
Twenty years is a long time to do anything with anybody.

The Best of June

The Best of June Well, June's almost over, which is crazy, but I have a handful of CD's I received this month that I really enjoyed. Some you've heard plenty about, some I've yet to even touch on. The latter is what this post is for. So without further adou, here's my favorite tunes I listened to in June. Once Soundtrack My favorite movie of the year, and by far favorite soundtrack of the year. Shoe in for the top 25 of the year, but it'll be tricky deciding where to put it since most songs are [...]

Hot Violin Action: Chris Murphy

Jun 12, 2007, 12:36am IckMusic
Hot Violin Action: Chris Murphy For those of you itching to start your work week with a double shot of hot violin action, you came to the right place. First of all, a bit of trivia: in what year was the earliest documented violin (in its current four string form) constructed? Ans: in 1555, by Italian Andrea Amati. Previous to then, more primitive violins had only three strings. The Amatis were a dynasty of violin makers, lasting generations until the death of Girolamo Amati in 1740. Girolami was outmatched in his day by a rival violin maker, Antonio Stradivari. [...]
