Bar Harbor, Maine's Coke Weed—who are apparently good buddies with The Walkmen — recently released their first full-length, the aptly titled Coke Weed Volume 1 . While Coke Weed takes much of its musical inspiration from 1960s counterculture and rock & roll, it comes across as a sincere and authentic sound thanks in large part to the rawness of the production and recordings. Takes here are loose, jangly, and even unpredictable. The vocals in particular sound like they were all recorded in long single takes—no overdubs or cut and pasting—and that lends a certain imperfect charm to each [...]

A true sign of a band's heart is how they react to adversity. Tonight at the Kahbang Festival in Bangor, Maine HT faves My Morning Jacket made lemonade out of lemons, and showed they are true professionals with the heart of a champion, when they treated fans to a rarity-laden acoustic set without drummer Patrick Hallahan, who had an " allergic reaction to eating some shellfish.

Some unreleased Curren$y, my prayers to the hip-hop Gods were slightly answered. I'm always praying for some unreleased Spitta from his Young Money days. That's when he became my favorite emcee. A lot of his new fans don't realize or know how long Spitta has been around. But he got his start with Master P's 504 Boyz way [...]
