Well, it's Valentine's Day. Now, Baby & I don't celebrate it, not for any particular reason, I guess with her birthday, our anniversary, and the holidays JUST passing, we don't feel the need to go out and buy each other another gift. Rather save the money for a little vacation action this year! But, alot of people DO celebrate and maybe tougher, a lot people EXPECT some kind of celebration. Want to hear a sad one? Yesterday on my rollcycling Twitter , someone in the cycling world gleefully tweeted how [...]
Most of my selections have come from the most honest source I could resort to - my iTunes playcount. A few electronic dancey songs sneak into my life here and there, but below are the albums from 2009 that garnished full repetitive rotation. Bombadil - Tarpits and Canyonlands This fella named Bryan ...

Well, here we are on our seventh podcast and I think I've gotten the swing of things. No longer do I feel too silly talking to myself in the middle of the night, and I think I've really figured out how to use Mixcraft . What does that mean for you? It means that the actual creation of them will be much easier, so a greater amount of attention can be paid to the overall mixing/leveling/mastering of them. All of this will be good. Now, let's get on with the show. This month's got a good [...]
Dan Auerbach from The Black Keys has put together an all-star group for a tour that should surely not be missed. Even though the show goes down in Newport, Louisville music lovers should make the trip to see Auerbach's backing band The Fast Five which features none other than My Morning Jacket's Patrick Hallahan on drums! Supporting Dan and the guys will be the always amazing Justin Townes Earle and frequent Black Keys collaborator Jessica Lea Mayfield . The show goes down on Tuesday December 8th, 2009 @ The Southgate House in Newport. [...]
These United States can't seem to slow down, whether it's pumping out album after album, or whether they're on their relentless tour schedule which has been amongst the most rigorous of any band out there, these kids can't seem to help but play music. Fronted by principal songwriter Jesse Elliot, tUs have been turning heads all over with their folksy indie-roots rock and their incessant touring. According to their website, from Aug 2005 until Dec. 2008, they've played 421 shows, and two albums down and one nearing it's completion. If their songs [...]

Musiikin ystäviä on viimeisten päivien aikana hemmoteltu. Ensin viikonloppu Flow Festivalin laajan ohjelmiston parissa, jonka jälkeen maanantaina napakymppiin osunut Wilco Huvilateltassa . Tiistaina 19.8. Tavastian lavalle nousi vuorostaan ensimmäistä kertaa Suomessa vieraillut indie/southern rock -yhtye Band of Horses . Vaikka Band of Horsesin kaksi levyä ovat vahvoja, tuntui kuitenkin siltä, että yhtye on omimmillaan juuri lavalla. Kuusihenkiseksi kasvaneen bändin rentoa lavaolemusta ja omiin vahvuuksiin luottavaa soittamista oli ilo katsella ja kuunnella. Välillä luotettiin dramaattisiin kertosäkeisiin ja suuriin kitaravalleihin, joita rakennettiin parhaimmillaan neljän kitaran voimin. Välillä taas siirryttiin rauhallisempiin maisemiin, joissa country-vaikutteet ja melankoliset [...]
[ via ] Music News Hypebot reports the latest study results on teen's relationship with music and piracy, this time from the UK. Ben Hewitt has a chat with FRS hero Peter Hook . "That was the wonderful thing about Joy Division. From its inception to its demise, we never earned a single penny. We started it broke and finished it broke. There were no arguments about publishing, no arguments about money. It was very straightforward. It [...]
19-year old Jessica Lea Mayfield may just be on the brink of young adulthood but already has many years of performing behind her. Since the age of 8 she played in a bluegrass band together with her family called One Way Rider. At 11 she began learning the guitar and sequentially wrote her first songs. Four years later she recorded the EP White Lies in her brother's bedroom which, despite only being printed in a 100 copies, managed to find its way to Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys . Auerbach took Jessica under his wings and [...]

Jessica Lea Mayfield is tiny...in build, in demeanor and in stage presence. Her voice, however, is so large it can fill a room effortlessly. And, most surprisingly, she can play the acoustic guitar with a ferocity that can compete with the loudest of electric rigs. On Wednesday, I had the pleasure of expierencing her arresting performance firsthand when she played an intimate set on the small stage at HOB. Occasionally backed by her brother David and Richie Kirkpatrick (of Ghostfinger), Jessica's voice forcibly emerged from howling guitar distortions and heavy bass drum to create a cohesive yet textured sound that [...]

As the summer of 2009 begins it's slow and steady descent into history, we at SubEx are refusing to go gentle into that good night. Nope! We are braving the 100+ Texas heat to catch the very last of those summer tours to roll through the DFW. Won't you join us? First up, Jessica Lea Mayfield plays HOB's Pontiac Garage on July 22nd. She's had a banner year with the release of a music video for the single "Kiss Me Again," some serious airtime on various NPR stations and a successful Bonnaroo appearance. [...]
The challenge for singer-songwriters to stand out amongst the many others, armed solely with their voice, their lyrics, and the acoustic guitar, isn't an easy one for sure. Jessica Lea Mayfield has managed to stand out enough to catch the attention of Dan Auerbach (Black Keys) who recorded and produced her most recent release With Blasphemy So Heartfelt at his Akron based home studio. Aside from appreciating the dark moody songs, lyrically based in the affairs of the heart with the human and the celestial, an better understanding of the person who wrote the songs, only [...]

MySpace So here we go. Some four months after I'd originally expected to see it in my inbox and after much rumour-mongering, hand-wringing, bitching and moaning, it's here. The lineup for Toronto's - sorry, Ontario's - Virgin Festival 2009 . It's far and away the most mixed bag of nuts yet, with names guaranteed to both delight and confound, no matter what you're into. So really, the question is this; is this lineup enough to get you out to Burl's Creek park near Orillia and camp for two or three [...]
