My dad built a guitar. Shortly after finishing it he got really sick. Now, I try and get people to play the guitar. You can read the whole story here . Last week Greenland Is Melting was kind enough to met up with me before their show here in St. Petersburg and play a few songs on my dad’s guitar. ALWAYS SKULL CRUSHER MOUNTAIN [...]

Last night was the 75th episode of Ninebullets Radio! Pretty cool. I just wish I'd noticed it last night. Oh well. It's still pretty neat and hopefully there will be 75 more and maybe some of those will be 2 hours long. I may not have realized/remembered that it was the 75th week of Ninebullets Radio but the track listing still ended up being something special. Some shows are better than others and I truly feel like last night's was one of the best I've done in a while. It had a little of everything; country, punk [...]

I was back in the saddle last night after taking a week off and boy howdy it sure felt good. As you can see from the image above, the ninebullets radio stickers came in this week as well. I plan on using them during the next pledge drive so be on the lookout for more info sometime on July about how to get one, should you want one. Last night's episode opens with a Doc Watson tune in remembrance of him before launching into a "summer themed" set. The show also features a double dose of one [...]
Most of the time you go to the station, do your show and leave. It becomes a routine of sorts. Occasionally you do a show that you really feel good about. Last night was one such show. Not sure what it is that sets some apart from the rest but whatever it is, last night's has it. I opened the show with a Lumineers, Mastersons, The District Attorneys set I'd been thinking about doing for a few weeks but wasn't sure how it would go over with the listeners. While the middle of the show features a brand new Gaslight [...]

This playlist features every band that was featured on ninebullets in the month of March that was also on Spotify. I hope you enjoy it and if you do, pass it along to some friends. Like I keep saying, every new pair of ears these bands reach is a potential fan/head at show. This month’s playlist is a little short due to us taking a week off but still features: Cuff the Duke, Willie Tea Taylor, Arliss Nancy, Greenland Is Melting, Todd snider and a few others. So, when you’ve got an hour to kill, give this a [...]

LOL. I thought I’d already written about this album, but the other day I was looking for the review only to discover that I’d completely dropped the ball on it. Greenland is Melting is one of my favorite bands in Florida and very well might be the funnest (is funnest a word?) one to see live. (Caution: Personal anecdote alert!) Sometimes, on twitter, some of my buddies and I play this game we’ll call #genericana. The point of the game is to write cliché loaded lines like the ones you’d find in blogs and magazines [...]

Like a lot of the previously featured towns in the Area Codes series, Gainesville, FL has a rich history as a music scene, going back to the '70s when some guy named Tom Petty ran ramshod in town. In the '90s, No Idea Records, and its associated bands, became a major magnet for Florida's youth culture, with acts like Against Me!, Hot Water Music, Jawbreaker and others in wrapped up in No Idea's fold. While hints of that punk spirit can still be detected in the modern music that Gainesville is putting out - pop-tinged punk and hardcore [...]

Woot! Three months in a row! I think it’s fair to say I’ve gotten my groove back with the ninebullets podcast. This month’s show features the Ninebullets Radio/Ninebullets Podcast theme song written and performed by my buddy through music, Todd Ferrell. I’d love to know what y’all think of it. I think it has a solid Nashville Pussy feel to it and love it accordingly. The show also features the brand new Lucero track called "Sometimes" as well as new music from The Porter Draw , Greenland Is Melting [...]
