Olivia Malone Some weeks, the inbox is a veritable cornucopia of interesting concert announcements for acts big and small. Compiling the blog posts that collect those up is a genuine delight. And easy. Generally so easy. This was not one of those weeks. Indeed, most of the news was of the "support announced" variety, which isn't necessarily uninteresting - sometimes it's more interesting than the headliner - but it is less easy. Anyways, we'll kick off with New York's

Haven't heard any updates regarding Richard Buckner in quite some time.
Any chance of Mr. Buckner performing in the NYC metro area in the near future? ~ William
And so the moment to reveal Mad Mackerel's final favourites of 2012. Here are numbers 20 down to top spot. Dig in and enjoy. 20 OF MONSTERS AND MEN - LITTLE TALKS Duelling male / female voices from Iceland's finest and bitter sweet lyrics (only with igloos and saunas instead of pubs and football). They also shout "Hey!" a lot which can't be a bad thing. ( TS ) Anything from this lot always lifts my mood. However this one just edged it for the catchy nature of the [...]

So then, half way through the year already. Time to take stock and see what the first six months have delivered up in terms of new tunes and bands. We asked some of the regular MM contributors to pick three songs that have particularly struck a chord (sorry) with them in the first part of 2012. Kyle Adem – Brother Follow Unlike Brains this was an instant hit. A real earthy campfire ditty with a grotesque sentiment I fully approve of. I make no apology for repeating the line [...]

if you know anything about me, you know a lot of my musical world revolves around richard buckner . his music has been a huge, huge, huge inspiration to me, and my so called life. sadly, me thinks he hasn't caught on like he should, which is a goddamn shame to the highest power. i can almost guarantee you that in a few years, or if i have anything to say about it, the music of richard buckner will be fully recognized. hopefully it wont be too late. he's a top 5 artist of all time for me, and [...]

My first must-have release for Record Store Day is here: Richard Buckner , whose husky baritone has shaken me since I saw him for the first time in Tempe in 1995, is releasing a 7-inch for the song "Willow," which, from what I can understand, was a pre-order bonus track from his 2011 album Our Blood . The 7-inch (via Merge Records ), the first-ever in Buckner's rich catalog, features a B-side for "Lost" and will include a digital-only cover of The Cars’ “Candy-O.” [...]
Richard Buckner is een muzikale held. Alleen weten dat te weinig mensen en dat betekent dat het leven als muzikant geen vetpot is. Elke twee jaar is er braaf een nieuwe plaat in de alt.country/singer-songwriterh oek en daarmee een nieuwe kans...
For the people who truly enjoy listening to artists play their music in the purest form still available, there is Record Store Day!
