A beautiful Van Morrison tune (from Avalon Sunset ), covered by Tom Petty. I've had this MP3 for years, and was surprised to find the video tonight on a spur of the moment search. Tom dedicates the song to Bill Graham , who had passed just a month earlier. "I'm Tired Joey Boy", from November 23rd, 1991: Share:
I swear, Sound on the Sound is not turning into an All-Tom-Petty-All-The-Time blog. Just for today, apparently. Perhaps inspired by their friends new Petty themed band, The Maldives chose "Wildflowers," a 1994 Petty penned song for one of their performances at last weeks BARE. And since today is apparently all about Petty confessions, I have [...]

Truth be told, within seconds of dropping the virtual needle on Ponderosa's Moonlight Revival , I was sold. What can I say? I'm a sucker big guitar licks and greasy-assed southern-friend boogie. Can't help myself. Don't wanna help myself, 'cept for maybe to another cold one. Ponderosa isn't doing anything earth-shattering here; even a blind man could connect the dots from Creedence to Skynyrd to the Crowes to these hombres . Not exactly rocket science, but not unlike rocket science, it's all in the execution. Don't want to [...]

Bees are fucking important. Without them we'd all be fucked. So if you're looking for someone to direct your anger at for the mass extinction of bees, look no further than Bayer and Bush. Those motherfuckers! Another Agribusiness Disaster on the Horizon [...]

Noah and the Whale - L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N. (Thanks Scott!) So so good! Anyone else getting a total "Don't Come Around Here No More" by Tom Petty vibe at the beginning of this?? Also, check out " Wild Thing ".... Mmmm... Can't wait for this album! Cheers!

The letter I is a man of mystery, he says what he means but you're never quit sure who he's talking about, he prefers to stand alone but can do more with an S or a T than anyone, his words might be short but his impact is never diminished due to a strict less is more policy, he's all around you but is barely noticed as he slips in and out of words like a ninja. Is it you? Is it me? No, it's I. Today we salute the ninth and arguably most versatile letter in the alphabet with [...]
![[Watch] – New Video By Noah And The Whale – ""L.I.F.E.G.O.E. S.O.N."](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3098535_lg.jpg)
Noah's hair is getting bigger. His real name isn't Noah (it's Charlie) but it's still getting bigger. Maybe he's been channeling David Byrne's talent through his hair considering that "L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N." (to me) sounds like a Talking Heads tune, and they both have/had wavy hair, but that might just be me. Just me? The song first showed up back at the end of November and now gets the official treatment in the visual form of a 502s style, sparsely-populated pub in southern England with a guest appearance from Lady Gaga as her career takes a nosedive [...]

I put the emphasis on my because these aren't going to appear on anyone else's run-down of 2010. Or two out of three anyway - the artists of my year actually have a lot in common, but release dates aren't one of them. Not that there wasn't enough good music out in 2010. It's been a long-ass time since I made one of those numbered lists - I used to love doing it, but I think I might have taken it a little too seriously and they would always end up taking me [...]
A steady tempo straight forward all american rock song that mentions Tom Petty? You can't go wrong.
A swampy and somewhat bad ass rock and roll tune from Tom Petty's side gig, Mudcrutch.
2010 was a fantastic year for music and a very good start to a new decade of it.
Here we are again, the final week of another year, and in true procrastinator's fashion, I've put off my year end music recap until the final few days. Now, every music blogger and their uncle has a year end list - the top tens, twenties and fifties (!). Me, I'm keeping it simple for my own sanity and for the purpose of keeping a reader's attention. Here's a blast of my top 52s for the year 2010... Top 5 Songs 5. "Monster" - Kanye West | I've never been [...]
As 2010 draws to a close, let's channel John Cusack in High Fidelity and ask what were the top 5 albums of the year and the top 5 tracks? Here are my thoughts. Top 5 Tracks 5. "Tangerine "- Big Boi, T.I. & Khujo Goodie ( Sir Lucious Left Foot... The Son of Chico Dusty ). I've often thought very seriously that my love of ass (© chick) and very open e-talk shares a very serious symbiosis with the rap community. This track, in particular, represents this connection [...]

Did you guys ever watch that one episode of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' where Larry doesn't go golfing one day because the weather forecaster said there was a chance of rain in the forecast. Larry had to go to the country club for some reason and finds the weather forecaster playing golf with his buddies only to find that the course was empty and only being used by the weather forecaster + friends. This week, the good weather people pulled a fast one on everybody. They claimed that the roads up to Vail were going to be treacherous with [...]
Welcome to the first Top List for It's Time to Play B-Sides . I've considered doing one of these lists every year since 2006, but never before have I had a year filled with as many really great albums that have compelled me to compile a year-end list. 2010 has been a pretty busy year for me as far as music has been concerned. Some fantastic concerts and events and some really interesting local (Eastern Iowa) releases have come out. This list represents releases that spent the most time on my playlist- in some cases I have had direct [...]

I love arguing over and bitching about year-end Best Of lists, until I'm forced to make one. Just Wait 'Til Next Year: Five Eightartists whose 2011 releases I'm eagerly awaiting. The Twilight Singers Okkervill River Carol Bui Hard Nips Shabazz Palaces Anna Calvi Ghostpoet Hyro Da Hero Songs of the Year (no particular order): I may tire of these songs eventually, but I'm not banking on living that long. [...]
From Weezy to Yeezy, Mojo to Mondo, The ArchAndroid to the Rebel Within , here's the next in Culture Bully's posts looking back on the year's best music; this time counting down the top albums of 2010.

Check out Best Dressed and Hands In Your Pockets by Boston act McAlister Drive . For fans of Tom Petty and Kings Of Leon, they have a pop/rock/retro soul vibe.

"Don't Pull Me Over" might not be the most obvious first choice for a music video off of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers newest album Mojo but Tom's daughter Adria Petty certainly finds a cool and stylistic way to showcase the song. By teaming up with visual artist Patrick Roberts Adria created a fun and appropriate video for one of the band's more unique songs off their album. Adria explains that the song was designed mainly as comic relief and urges you to "trip out and have a giggle and dig that guitar solo" as you watch the [...]
