i, at one time, wanted to start my own label, but i had to be honest with myself and admit that i dont have that kind of freakin time to dedicate to something like that. as much as i would love to venture into something like that, i just dont need another distraction that could lead to another mild obsession. i still may try to put out a few things here and there, but nothing like the scope that i would ideally like to get into. some of my fellow constituents have done just that, parlayed their respective [...]

Chicago veteran alt indie-rockers Manishevitz have never made kosher food sound so good! Their new long player East to East is an entrancing collection of songs that span experimental rock, bluesy jazz, and some downright funk. Imagine if fellow Chicagoans Califone had taken up fell-fledged rock music-indeed, this is what they'd sound like (you might not believe this but as I looked up the band I found that Joe Adamik of Califone is in the band!!). Intriguing vocals and even catchier guitar riffs make East to East an incredibly captivating and digestible album [...]

Just in time to soundtrack your evening walks through the chill Autumn air, Chicago's Manishevitz have returned with their fourth long-player; the first since 2003's critically-lauded City Life (Jagjaguwar, 2003). On East to East , Manishevitz cruises through a set of swaggering, thoughtfully-composed rock songs, with a liberal dose of open-ended groove structures (think Neu!) and moody pop mutations (think Roxy Music). ::: Manishevitz - Dead Birds ::: East to East is Catbird's *10th* release this year (which [...]
