First off...a big happy birthday to my Mom. Days off are fun. Here was the playlist for my time away from work this week. It was good. Free mp3: Heartless Bastards - Only For You [...]
Good morning Sun. Across the world, young men and women graduate higher education bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready for the many challenges they will soon meet. Meanwhile the rest of us are left to stare into the mirror and ask ourselves where the last four years went. A bunch of twenty somethings wondering why they still feel like just yesterday they were the ones dressed head to toe in a cap and gown. Hats were thrown, champagne bottles ceremoniously opened, and offer letters signed. Then suddenly you're not young anymore. Well new graduates, welcome to the real world of happy [...]

I am a little slow to catch on to The Lumineers. They have a rowdy, rootsy, Americana vibe that goes along with a lot of my other favorite bands. They are hitting the road this spring and summer - I suggest you check them out. Catch 'em live: May 11 - Denver, CO Bluebird Theatre (SOLD OUT) May 12 - Denver, CO Bluebird Theatre (SOLD OUT) May 19 - New Orleans, LA Circle Bar May 20 - Gulf Shores, AL Hangout Festival May 22 - Jackson, MS The Red Room @ Hal & [...]
Brand new music video for "Ho Hey" by The Lumineers. Love really is out there.
Check out the video for " Ho Hey " from The Lumineers below. There isn't a type of music that I don't dig (unless you consider commercial/mainstream garbage as a style in which case I would have to say I like all but one kind of music). Seriously, from pop to punk, dub-step to straightedge, if it's good I can get down on it, yet the one style of music that owns my heart is the American-roots bluegrass-folk songs which fit perfectly as an accompaniment when driving or drinking with friends fueling those sing-alongs full of [...]

Maybe it's because I live in sensitive, bearded, porchy Portland, Oregon, but like David Lowery sang in "Teen Angst," I'm convinced that the world needs another folk singer like I need a hole in the head. So when my taskmasters at MVRemix tossed the Lumineers' self-titled debut album my way for review I caught it with one hand and reached for my revolver with the other because I knew exactly what I was in for. Like the British Mumford and Sons, the Lumineers specialize in folk rock with the "rock" part conspicuously excised. Having climbed on the [...]
Brian Wilson reunites with The Beach Boys, performing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on Monday. I'd heard the rumors and remained skeptical. Brian Wilson was reuniting with the Mike Love-led Beach Boys? Sure, they performed a song together for the Grammys, but it was cloaked in 50th anniversary nostalgia and their performance, like the Grammys itself, it was a pretty bland offering. But now they've started touring, and reports have come back revealing set lists that are turning my mind around on the subject. And there's [...]

Happy May! Last week in NYC, the inconsistent spring climate made summer seem eons away. This week, though, maybe waiting for warmer weather won't seem as excruciating. After all, we've been waiting for these albums for a while, and they finally came! Orifice Origami - Reptar // Buy Sebastian - Reptar // Buy Reptar (@reptarathens) earned a spot on The Wild Honey Pie's list of favorite EPs last year, making their debut full-length highly [...]
Should The Lumineers have asked that this show be moved to a larger venue? Could The Lumineers have asked that this show be moved to larger venue? Arguably, the answer to both of those questions is yes. But they didn't. That might say a lot about the Denver-based outfit. And it may even bode well for their sophomore effort. Am I crazy to be talking about The Lumineers second album when their debut album was released less than a month ago? I might be. Maybe I'm becoming a bitter old [...]

The Lumineers with John Richards / photo by Morgen Schuler The best we can hope for when dealing with personal loss is to find some consolation or even inspiration that the person we grieve for can influence others for the better. Wes Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites, it was the early death of Josh Fraites, brother to Jeremiah and good friend to Wes, that brought the two together to work through their grief and eventually form a band. After a move to Colorado from New York, and teaming up with multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Neyla Pekarek, they've formed [...]
