Being sick is terrible. I've been fighting something nasty since Tuesday. Luckily the worst was out of the way fast - after recording a 101 degree temperature Tuesday night, the fever subsided and I've slowly returned to a state that's manageable. I was still a bit stuffed up on the 25th, but by 10pm all that was left was sniffling and the occasional cough - my regular voice was back. On November 25, I decided to do something a little different. Not only would I tell a few stories about [...]

Portland based Dirtnap Records is offering their 2011 Digital Sampler for free. Some pretty f'n rad garage and punk tracks that are well worth the price of admission. CLICK HERE to download. You can also stream a couple tracks below for a sample of the sampler. Mind Spiders; Don't Let Her Go White Wires; Did You Forget My Name? The Goodnight Loving; Doesn't [...]

The problem with so-called best-of lists, is that they are really just a collection of items organized based on experience and time, in that there will be plenty of albums heard the following year and beyond that will hold just as much weight as these we dub as "Best." So, as of right now, at this particular time in the tail end of 2010 and the first moments of 2011, these albums are the best. There's no question about it; it will change. My next list (which I've started, but may take a while to publish) is [...]

Wait, weren't we just here? Like, in 2009? As I hinted at in last year's TDoL year-end extravaganza , making these lists is always a tug-of-war between what feels good and what actually is good. But if it makes you feel good, it must be good ... right? So here's the process: I frantically assemble my list. Move things around. Re-listen to records. Cut one here; add another there. Anxiety sets in. I lose sleep. Get a few more gray hairs. Stop eating solid foods. I don't bathe. I empty out my bank [...]

It appears there is truth behind the popular phrase about time speeding by the older you get. After hitting the ripe age of 30 back in September and taking a nice little road trip from my home north of Seattle to the Southwest town of Albuquerque at the end of that month, time seems to have slipped by with ease. And it appears I haven't done one of these podcast things since July! I took that photo up there somewhere along the side of the highway in northern [...]

![The Goodnight Loving: The Goodnight Loving Supper Club [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2791426_lg.jpg)
With the twang of the country and the grit of the garage, The Goodnight Loving bounces their way along with a new record dubbed The Goodnight Loving Supper Club . If that sounds delicious, I'll attest to the fact that it is. The country sensibilities bode well for The Goodnight Loving, making their style of garage rock unique and fresh in a genre packed not only with greats, but with consistency that spans bands. It makes their debut album a bit more original, a bit friendlier to some of the [...]
Here's my weekly clearing of the decks. This week I meant to get to: The Goodnight Loving This Milwaukee band have released their new album The Goodnight Loving Supper Club. Their fun-loving jangle pop is definitely something you'll want to spend you're waning summer hours with. Check out the 'Mats-meet-Monkees "Doesn't Shake Me". The Goodnight Loving's Myspace Secret Message Machine,
The Goodnight Loving - "Doesn't Shake Me" Franz Nicolay - "This is Not a Pipe" DD/MM/YY - "Van Tan" Pepper Rabbit - "Older Brother" Thank God - "Ice Age" Dominant Legs - "About My Girls" Like Bells - "Follow the Birds" In Granada - "Distance and Temptation" Abner Trio - [...]
The Goodnight Loving has been making listeners wonder what year it is throughout its short-yet-prolific career, masterfully incorporating classic sounds and genres into each release. With its fourth album, the Milwaukee quartet takes on a musical time warp to beachy ‘60s garage pop, with twangy guitar riffs, psychedelic organs and vocal harmonies. We’re really not surprised [...]

You know me, I'm a sucker for a good power pop band. I don't need experimental or existential-just shiny hooks cranked out by a guitar-bass-drums combo (power trio preferred). Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Jaill is a four-piece that makes rock 'n' roll that probably won't dramatically change anyone's life. It's just ... good. The band has been quietly doing so for almost a decade, but their Sub Pop debut- That's How We Burn -is quickly making Jaill more buzzworthy than a warm can of Blatz. It should be noted that three of [...]

Tonight, Milwaukee's own Goodnight Loving celebrate the release of The Goodnight Loving Supper Club at Linneman's in Milwaukee during Radio Summer Camp . The band provided us with 5 albums they've been enjoying to coincide with the release of their own. Buck Owens - I've Got a Tiger By the Tail Buck Owens always goes down real smooth. Great guitar playing and probably one of the last high profile flat-top haircuts in music. [...]

I must not have been paying very close attention in US History class (maybe I was concentrating too hard on drawing checkerboards on my Chuck Taylors with a Sharpie) because I swear I had never even heard of the Goodnight Loving Trail until I was googling the band Goodnight Loving from Milwaukee. Apparently, these cute boys that play twangy pop that gets me crazy named their band after an old cattle trail that was started by Charles Goodnight and Oliver Loving in 1866... p...

![[PLAYLIST FRIDAY]FISH](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2597251_lg.jpg)
by teepoo I know this topic is rather random. Feeney one of our writers here has a webcomic that focuses on the life of fish as they struggle to understand popular culture and life. HereFishieFishy has just recently moved to tumblr so go follow and reblog! As for songs, this is a rather weird topic to deal with in terms of songs. I mean how many songs about fish can you think of off the top of your head? Enjoy this random list of songs! [...]

I'm not one that longs for meals that grandma used to make. Both of my grandmother's were good cooks in their own respective rights, but they were good at things that no longer appeal to me: turkey and gizzards, pig stomach , scrapple . J-Fur's grandmother is a different story. Every time we visit PA she makes "Pot Pie" (which is in quotes because I would refer to it as dumplings but when I say that I am quickly corrected) and it is something that J-Fur looks forward to. I pried the [...]
