There are lots of ways to love the guitar. Hey, not like that. Mind out of the guitar, people. The sound of the thing, I mean. I don't usually think about it. Growing up on rock n' roll means the guitar seems as much a part of nature as water. But sometimes, its properties just assert their magic — a brain-melting Eddie Hazel solo, a John Fahey rhapsody, Johnny Marr doing just about anything. And then there are minor moments that stop you all the same. Like this tune, where the steady, reverb'd string-raking ushers you solemnly into an ethereal [...]
Photos courtesy of Dan Ball There's a certain amount of blood, sweat and tears that goes into putting music together for presentation. Some people have the ability intrinsically to do exactly what they want to do; they can see the music and feel it with their hands, describe it in an unformatted manner. Conserving motion as energy to place the effort needed in order to get the music out there is something that comes from years on the road. In some cases, too [...]
With the release of his new record just around the corner, Kevin McGinnis , of Guided By Voices , Dopo Yume and Bloodthirsty Lovers fame, has kindly set us up with not only a sneak peak but three tracks available for download! Aptly titled, Slow Hope Parade culminates McGinnis's self described journey "between and during blackouts, benders, moments of bliss, philosophical isolation and spiritual derailment" into accessible, minimalistic, electroacoustic pop. The album is crisp like a packet of chips and organically executed by McGinnis, who recorded it in nearly one [...]
Posted by Matt: Remember those? We used to post them all the time. You'd listen, we'd feel superior...that was the MO around here. Lately, its all been about Youtube though....it's just so much easier. The code is right there, no need to google image search and re-size pics, and then link up the files. It's about time to get back on the horse though, so here are few random songs that will make yer day a better place. MP3: Anomoanon [...]

With that fancy new banner we got here at 3hive, prominently listing Memphis first, it's about time we got around to something Memphis, ain't it? Who can be more Memphis (besides Elvis, smarty-pants) than Dave Shouse, in this carnation with friends as the Blood Thirsty Lovers? Shouse is well known round these parts for Think As Incas , the Grifters, and Those Bastard Souls, among others, and his lifelong devotion to guitars and noise. And speaking of Elvis, did I ever mention that my mom taught his cousin 7th grade math? [...]
Sunday afternoon I went to Grimey's for the for the Lambchop in-store and brunch... free music and quiche and mimosas... hurray! It was fantastic. And tasty. And hot. But most of all it was crowded. Grimey's isnt that big of a place, and I went from one end of the store to the other and halfway back again before I found the friend I was meeting. I think half of Nashville was there, and then [...]
