Big Dipper – Heavens real Alt College Rock

Aug 17, 2011, 4:11pm Review Stalker

Big Dipper North East rock was never so eloquently defined than by the alternative music vehicle known as Big Dipper . I meant this to be a follow-up post on the music from City Gardens Riot on the Dance Floor post but needless to say when a group makes a melodic dent like these guys did it's worth one of my retro-posts because a lot of the submissions I'm getting just don't rank. This is though one of those bands I trekked down to Trenton to see opening up [...]

B-Sides in the Bins #32 - Mad City Music - Madison, WI 9/27/08

Oct 14, 2008, 12:38am Time to play b-sides

The Tortoise show at Snake on the Lake started at 3PM in Madison, but Erik, Shawn and I weren't interested in all of the opening acts, so we decided to hit a record store before meeting up with Tom, our taper friend. We stopped at Mad City Music which I've been to a couple of times. The first time Erik and I went there it was for a small Camper Van Beethoven in-store which was really cool. This was a pretty fruitful trip in that I picked up some amazingly pristine copies of Tom Petty albums. Like freakishly [...]

"Let's get this over with." -- Tom, deciding to get the party started after a 47-minute opening music set "Oh, good. Drinking and radio don't mix." -- Julie, approving of Tom's sobriety "I made fun of Mark & Mindy ? You didn't like that? You didn't find my Mark & Mindy joke funny?" -- Tom, inquiring about Jerry from Boulder's rejection of his ribbing "You don't sleep. You don't sleep! Stay haunted! You stay haunted by it! You don't think I'm [...]

Seth Tiven (ex-Dumptruck) releases debut solo record "Solitude"

Jun 15, 2007, 7:37am songsillinois

The song "Believe" starts out like a classic Dumptruck song from the late 80's. That should come as no surprise since "Believe" is the lead-off track from Dumptruck's leader Seth Tiven. Before label politics destroyed the band (there's a pretty great article here about the bands battles with Big Time Records and Phonograph), Dumptruck had become one of my favorite bands of that entire decade. Their three pivotal albums ( d is for Dumptruck , Positively Dumptuck , and for the Country ) were each in their [...]
