One year ago, the future of the Hangout Music Festival was far from certain. The concept was definitely intriguing: a three day, multi-genre music festival on the beach in Gulf Shore, AL, with high production values and big name talent. The festival only drew about 15,000 people in its first year, though, a number that was well short of the 35,000 capacity. Attendance might have been affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill that hit the Gulf of Mexico less than a month before the festival started, but that couldn't have been the sole reason why [...]
Scott Avett plays a faithful version of Elliott Smith's 'Angeles' in his attic.

Mountain Jam Music Fest (Jun 2-5, 2011) Judging by the number of "Sold Out" links on their ticket purchasing page , it looks like sales have been pretty robust for the 2011 Mountain Jam Music Fest in Hunter Mountain, NY. Looks can be deceiving I guess, because today's Groupon is aimed at putting a few more asses on the hill. For $39 , you get a single-day pass for Friday, June 3 (a $79–$99 value). For $39 , you [...]

Dead Confederate's Hardy Morris at the Hangout Music Festival on May 21, 2011 I was gonna give you guys a well written, healthy-sized wrap-up of today's rad shows, but I just endured the world's longest dinner with the world's least attentive waiter. I am exhausted and full of crab. So here's the happs, in bulleted form: *Xavier Rudd has always been jammy, but he has a nice electronica touch in his recent work, pleasing both the hippies and the rave kids. *Georgia group Dead Confederate was the find of the day. Blistering, [...]
Enquanto alguns covers fascinam por reinventar completamente a música original, algumas peças são tão intocáveis que se destacam até mesmo em uma versão fiel, sutil e quase exata. Seth Avett , um dos vocalistas da banda de folk The Avett Brothers (que teve a honra de dividir o palco com a lenda Bob Dylan nos prêmios Grammy deste ano ), postou em seu canal no Youtube uma versão irresistível de Angeles , um dos grandes clássicos do saudoso Elliott Smith . A versão é bem direta, mas a mera combinação [...]
Video: Seth Avett Covers Elliott Smith In which an Avett Brother turns in a sweet, reverent take on one of the most well-known songs by my favorite singer-songwriter . It's stunning to hear — yet again — how well Elliott Smith's tunes have endured over the years. Enjoy Seth Avett's solo acoustic cover of the 1997 Either/Or cut "Angeles" above, and head over here for a host of clips he has shared on YouTube.
The boys from Concord, NC lay down an emotional and moving tale of two lovers reuniting. And of course, love wins out in the end.

I made this mix over a year ago and I'm still listening to it, so I figured it was worth sharing. Heartbreak is possibly the number two topic of music (number one being love in general) in my estimation. It certainly creates a feeling you'll never forget; that one where you don't think life will go on. It does, but here are some songs to help get you through. Regina Spektor - Fidelity download it Tracklist: 1. Regina [...]

By Emily J. Minor I live with two grown men who are gaga over music. Our son , now 20, was getting an music allowance back way back in early middle school. Forget cash for taking out the garbage, how about another Gorillaz download? My husband - Mr. After Hours Music Proprietor Marty Minor himself - has resisted the iPhone for one simple reason: he couldn't put all his music on it. This might seem like one of those "blessings" all the hyper-happy like [...]
