While I?m trying to work out what my top 20 songs of the year are (so many songs, so hard to choose!), I?ll press ahead with the next installment in my end of the year best of lists - my favourite gigs of the year. And because I?m not finding much time to post these days, I?ll save myself some writing time by quoting my own reviews of these gigs. 10. No-Neck Blues Band @ Barden?s Boudoir (13 Dec) The self-quoting lark has got [...]

In this post I'll re-post some of the songs I've mentioned before in the blog or simply some of the stuff I've found that I find interesting, but have no time to write about. None of the songs are hosted by Myspace, which quickly is turning into a crappy service! IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED IF YOU'D CHECK OUT THE REST OF THIS BLOG, ONCE YOU'VE DOWNLOADED THE SONGS YOU WANT..... + Aberdeen City - God Is Going To Get Sick Of Me + [...]
I really am forgetful. [pause] Now that comment has had time to settle, please, please, please, please do not expect regularity with my blog. Regularity is defined as posts everyday. I can post a couple times a week depending on my work-load and partying-load (yes, I am a terrible person). So I'm still laughing at George W. Bush talking about "the google" and "the internets" but that aside, I have some... real stuff. [...]
A double-bill of ultra-prolific artists hits Lee's Palace on November 7. Both Micah P Hinson and Oakley Hall released two full-length albums this year, Hinson with Micah P Hinson And The Opera Circuit and The Baby & The Satellite and Oakley Hall with Second Guessing and Gypsum Strings . In town for their third Toronto show in five months, Oakley Hall trade in ripping psychedelic country rock and are [...]

Recorded in Micah's hometown of Abilene, TX, it's a small wonder we're even getting to hear this album so soon after Hinson's debilitating back surgery following his European tour earlier in the year. I suppose all that time on the mend must be an agent of creativity as ...And The Opera Circuit comes on strong. A slew of friends were enlisted to help out with the recording including Eric Bachman who reportedly took charge of the string and horn arrangements. Note: Bachman [...]
Sorry I didn't get this up yesterday. Real job shizz and all is kinda of consuming more of my life than it used to... Atlanta 41, Pittsburgh 38, OT It was a shootout between the Steelers and the Falcons that went into overtime and was full of milestones. Both Ron Mexico and Ben Rothizzzzleburger threw three touchdown passes in the first half alone. Big Ben was knocked out of the game, but Charlie Batch threw two more TDs to [...]
Discography: MICAH P. HINSON AND THE GOSPEL OF PROGRESS (2005 - Overcoat Recordings), MICAH P. HINSON AND THE OPERA CIRCUIT (2006 - Jade Tree)) Sempre notevoli le serate non danzanti che lo staff del Bronson riesce ad organizzare. Sforzi ben spesi soprattutto se accorre il pubblico delle grandi occasioni: nello specifico in grande quantità e di considerevole eterogeneità . Complimenti per l’impegno, ma l’acustica…vabbà ¨, diciamo che ci si “accontenta†della possibilità di assistere al live di un artista talentuoso. Ma che vuoi farci, alla classe è difficile resistere. Che [...]
Mika - Relax The Bishops - The Only Place I Can Look Is Down The Slips - Even Rats Can Joanne - Lady Luck Micah P Hinson - Jackeyed
Well I tried to get this week's Graboid up on it's usual Wednesday but ezarchive was pretty much down most of the night. As I was about to give up and just call it a night, voilà ! it starts to work again. So here I am still awake at 5 a.m. finishing up on it. I'm starting to get back into the swing of things here and starting to listen to a lot of the music that has been piling in my email and at home. During my little on/off hiatus I managed to go back [...]
The Slip are on tour with My Morning Jacket. Check out some of their MP3's: [MP3] The Slip | Even Rats [MP3] The Slip | Children of December Locksley are supposedly hot shit because as many as two bloggers said so. I still haven't listened to their CD, but here's an MP3: [MP3] Locksley | Why Can’t I Be You (Why Not Me) Download a Micah P. Hinson track [MP3] Micah P. Hinson | Jackeyed [...]
If you're the type who judges a rocker by his picture, don't do it. That boyish face of Micah P Hinson carries a life of hard knocks and disguises a deep, engaging voice. Similarly, if you're a rocker who judges by the label, don't do it. Micah P. Hinson and The Opera Circuit came out today on Jade Tree, a label not necessarily noted for roots based and bluesy rock and roll. Micah P Hinson was helped on this album by a myriad of guest players who go by the collective [...]
The Awkward Stage - Heaven is For Easy Girls (buy it) Vancouver pop ace Abram Nelken, who's worked with A.C. Newman and Sparrow, debuts on Mint with an album full of throwback pop hooks and melodies and desperation aplenty. Not quite as busy as Newman's Pornographers, this is fine songwriting wrapped in bittersweet cotton candy, somewhere in the Shins' zip code. MP3: The Awkward Stage - Heaven

After a spot of hammock-swinging, my musical day on Friday started with M. Craft in the Big Top, where I remained for the rest of the evening. One of the great things about End of the Road was that there was a deliberate intention to give bands longer slots than they nornally would have for festival gigs. So more music then. This was the second time I've seen M. Craft at a festival this year, and thankfully I get to see more of him and his brilliant band than I did at Summer [...]
Micah P. Hanson and the Opera Circuit release their new album on October 10th and it's a sprawling, superb collection of 11 songs recorded in Micah's hometown of Abilene, TX. Being somewhat unfamiliar with his previous work I was anticipating this new album for a number of reasons, mostly for the fact that Micah's praises have been sung by folks like yourselves whose opinions I respect. I don't know if folks have ever compared him to a young Tom Waits (that cracked straining voice and the stories of sadness and heartbreak). He also reminds [...]
