You know those moments when your day just feels off, where things are dragging by, and then a song comes on and for three-and-a-half glorious minutes things feel right and set your day off, be it ever so slightly, on a better path than it was before?....I'm in the midst of working 135hrs over two [...]
I'm doing what I can to get caught up on all of the music I've missed in the last month. Here's what's making life better at the moment. . . Dream Brother - "Haunted Heart (ft Paul Spranger)" I was already stoked to have Ian from One For The Team putting out some solo material [...]
It's hard for friends to understand when I try explaining to them this absolute nausea I feel about New Year's Eve. I go out, I appreciate being around the friends... I'm happy enjoying the moment with them, yet in the back of my mind is a swelling sadness, a wave so huge that by the [...]
. . . Yourself and the air- sick days[mp3] I've listened to Sick Days daily for the last week. It seems every time i'm about to go out i'm throwing this on the playlist to set my mind right. YATA's the first band coming out of chicago in quite some time that has impressed me. [...]

Sorry thought that it needed to be said. Anyways here's a few songs: . Phineas and the Lonely Leaves- The Feeling . [...]
There comes a point on any cruise where a pit stop stop is needed, a chance to stretch your legs and feel some movement. Most often in high school this would be either a haunted cemetery these are common in indiana.... ( Stepp Cemetery is probably the best for a road trip), a pond in the middle of nowhere, or my favorite is this abandoned train depot in atterbury ( you drive along the tracks for a half a mile and drive right up onto the platform. Great place to relax and take in an unadulterated view of the [...]
Here are a few tasty new releases and a couple of tracks acquired via the blogosphere to brighten up your Friday. A veritable smorgasbord for you to sift through and pick out the ones you like. First up is a second track from Canadians The Rural Alberta Advantage taken from their (very good) new album Departing and showcasing again their ear for a perfectly pitched tale of longing and quiet desperation.

No, they sound nothing like the Talking Heads, I am just misappropriating a phrase for my own use. You might catch me doing it again. Now on with the post. Phineas & the Lonely Leaves hail from the Lower Hudson Valley (that's in New York folks) and it's a place we're a little familiar with. In fact, this press shot looks like the quintessential kinda spot you'd find at the edge of the Catskils. As for the band, Timothy Feeney (we're guessing that's Phineas) has been bouncing around the music scene for a [...]
A long week, huh? (That's a Kanye huh, btw. So it's really huuuuh). Two late night festival announcements, loads of tour dates, and two American Idol episodes featuring Steven Tyler's plastic face. If you're like me, then the weekend really can't come soon enough. But before you go, let's cap things off with another edition of our Friday Mixtape. Featuring brand new singles from The Mountain Goats, I'm From Barcelona, and Akron/Family, a few quality remixes, and handpicked covers from our friends at Cover Me , there's a whole slew of stuff to check out. [...]
Recently got a great CD from a band called Phineas & the Lonely Leaves, the name comes from the artists love of singing Guns N Roses covers at Monday night karaoke - confused, click here for the explanation. I love this kind record, all originals, heartfelt and honest tunes without pretence delivered to the listener in a mix of styles, the band on the CD consists [...]
