I can't believe I haven't done this one yet! The indie and indie-minded love to cover some Petty. He may be terrible at taxes, but he's great at writing songs. The zip file does NOT have the direct-linked ez archive songs in it; just the savefile ones. A is for Tom's most famous song . . . American Girl-Melora Creager B is for Backyard Tire Fire's tribute to this great songwriter . . . Tom Petty-Backyard Tire Fire C is for Change the Locks-Keller [...]
Song: G.O.D. Artist: Fastball Album: All the Pain Money Can Buy Comments: These guys got back together. I almost went to see them but it was just not meant to be. They are known mostly for the song "The Way" which perfectly melds together Garage and Power Pop. Taking a listen to this album reminds me that this was a great buy. This song is essentially the Good Old Days. I love the horn arrangement, which gives this song a little something extra. Hopefully their reunion was enough to spark another couple of [...]
An outdated message board is all it seems we're able to go on in regards to the current status of Poe , the once popular performer and songwriter. I'd wager that many people have heard of Poe, (born Annie Danielewski). Her debut album, Hello , arrived during the heavy wave of female songwriters that emerged in 1995, many now long forgotten.

She also demonstrated a seducing quieter side, effectively delivering [...]
Kinda forgot it ever left, but a little birdy in the inbox chirped to remind me today that Barefoot At The Belmont , the outdoor concert series at Oak Cliff's Belmont Hotel , where musicians play to the backdrop of the Dallas skyline, is back in business, starting next Thursday night, with a performance from Austin singer-songwriter Darden Smith . The Barefoot At The Belmont series was originally launched last May . This fall season run of the series will continue along through November 13, with performances each Thursday at 8:30 p.m., [...]

Angie Aparo - The American (still one of the best male voices around!) Ben [...]
I hated how they portrayed Wisconsin in this film. They missed the boat completely. But the music is pretty good. Fastball ~ Fire Escape Marc Cohn ~ I Hope I Don't Fall In Love With You (Tom Waits Cover) Kinky ~ Presidente More Soundtracks Buy from Amazon
illustration: Leo Hillier YEAH! This image rocks. I am off working and worrying about holiday shopping. This is a post of upbeat non-festivus related songs to get you back to your fighting strength. Have fun with these, I did. New artists biographies and CD reviews deserve more attention - they will return in a very big way next week. Stay tuned, I have a lot in store! [...]
