There is no recognition for the blood left behind. Nothing saying it will ever be worth anything. No love for the grit stuck to the sweat, the stains, the aches. There is no thanks for the trying, the dedication, the imagination. There is nothing safe about trying. There is nothing comforting about letting go. Nothing that will take away the pain that may come. There is no prize to anything. Except that living in the moment, giving the love, being your passion, (re)moving your own boundries, being a bit more free than is comfortable. You get what you give. Seize [...]
![Five Reasons Why Jam Band Fans Are Better Than Indie Rock Fans [Arguing On The Internet]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1628653_lg.jpg)
I was skimming through this year's Bonnaroo lineup as part of my usual round of cyber-stalking Neko Case , and I came upon an interesting discovery—this festival kicks ass! Although one of my friends described the layout as a desert of dust and piss, and the jam-centric lineup means stupid Phish is going to play for approximately 76 hours straight, I can pretty much get behind anything that brings together High On Fire and Janelle Monae (that isn't made by the Hood Internet). Something this good could never happen on indie rock's watch! [...]

Taking place April 17-19, the annual Green Apple Music Festival is self-described as America's largest Earth Day celebration, aka a epic musical extravaganza spanning ten cities.

Last year, I was infatuated with Light In The Attic's reissue of Cold Fact , the rediscovered lost classic of psychedelic-soul and folk-rock from a guy simply known as Rodriguez . The 67 year-old singer-songwriter will embark on his first ever North American tour this spring that kicks off on April 10 in Madison, WI with scattered dates through the end of June including a stop at NYC's Bowery Ballroom on May 15 that I'm eagerly anticipating. If the music [...]

I've been listening non-stop to The Menahan Street Band's ' Make The Road By Walking ' and Fort Knox Five's ' Radio Free DC ' albums for the past couple of days. As I mentioned yesterday, there are some incredible bands in this genre, such as Galactic, The New Mastersounds, The Poets Of Rhythm, Antibalas, Karl Denson, Medeski, Martin & Wood and The Budos Band. Even though the majority of these guys have been playing music for well over a decade, I still consider them new Funk. James Brown & The [...]

Old school fans of New Orleans based Galactic will no doubt recall the tender soul and groove that Theryl "Houseman" Declouet brought to the mix. It was his presence and delivery that made essential listening out of records like Coolin' Off and Crazyhorse Mongoose . In a live setting, watching "The Houseman" strut from side stage and deliver the funk with his trademark shuffle/dance was always a welcomed element to the live Galactic experience - one that is sorely [...]

The live music universe is a world filled with ebbs and flows of energy; when things get busy, they really get busy and then there will be a down period. Suffice to say that in Chicago, right when that 90 day limit Lollapalooza puts on its performers finishes , October is busy. Everyone is touring. In addition, there have been a number of announcements of late pertaining to New Years Eve. So gathered here is a pretty solid compendium of who's playing where on December 31st. The venue link will get you to ticket information for the mentioned shows. [...]
