photo by leah hutchison toth james jackson toth is wooden wand, and vice versa, i suppose. his 2010 release, death seat, clocked in at number 17 on my top 20 from said year. at the time, or at least pertaining to that release, i believe i likened him to a southern preacher passing judgment on all of us. it seemed as if hell fire were right behind him, and if we didnt fall in line, all of us were going to be subjected to eternal damnation. things have changed... his latest release, briarwood - [...]

1. Seapony - "Blue Star" (The Seattle three-piece or 4-piece, if you count the tiny drum machine used instead of an actual drummer keeps things simple on their debut album Go With Me out now on Hardly Art. Singer Jen Weidl's pretty and melodic voice rises above the fuzzy yet twee guitar lines and steady beat on the album's standout second single.) http://www.myspace.com/seapony band Download: http://hardlyart.com/mp3/SP_Bl ueStar.mp3 [...]

His biography on Reverbnation says "In the past Duquette Johnston was a founding member of such influential bands as Verbena and Cutgrass . Along the way sharing the stage with bands such as Pavement , Jesus Lizard , the Strokes , Bonnie Prince Billy and so many more. For several years Duquette [...]
Glossary bassist Bingham Barnes getting posterized It's not often I get to participate in a private anthropological field study, let alone one that's pants-optional. However, this weekend I'm a cultural warrior battling mano-a-mano for the soul of American music. Hyperbole? Probably. Essentially true? That would be yes. Wiggins, Mississippi , is the site of Wigginstock, a two-day symposium on the future of rock 'n' roll. Panel discussions include: "Shorts on Stage, Laptops, and Other Performance No-No's" and "Are Ironic Mustaches Killing Indie Rock?" These [...]
firstly, i gotta thank mr duquette johnston for tipping me off to these guys. well, he didnt directly say "hey greg check these guys out", it was a general tweet . secondly, about 15 seconds into the first song, "good times, they disappear," off the choosy beggars' self titled record, i knew i was in love. sadly, i cant find any good information on these guys other than the fact that they tagged "seattle" on their bandcamp site. so, i can only assume they reside from said city. the other tag on their badcamp site [...]
Friday's a little bit tamer than Thursday's schedule - there are eleven showcases to choose from instead of fifteen, but the festival makes up for it with the first of two official after parties at City Hall. Friday's after party is sponsored by Red Bull and features The Dynamites , and I'm pretty sure everyone's going to end up there at the end of the night. But before that, you've got your work cut out for you deciding what to see. The Cannery has a great lineup - including Kindercastle , Cortney [...]
