AA Bondy 11:45-12:30 // AA Bondy // Dell Stage Despite a burning desire to sleep till noon, I rolled out of bed at 9:30 (that's early for a Sunday!) to make sure Josh and I were at Zilker in time to catch Alabama folk singer AA Bondy. He reminded me a great deal of Bob Dylan with a tinge of Rocky Votolato , although almost any modern folk singer with an acoustic guitar and harmonica reminds me of Votolato. Regardless of any comparisons, Bondy's set was quite lovely, despite not [...]

Welcome, all. You have found my very first blog entry. I've been thinking about starting one since I got back from vacation a couple of weeks ago. I was sitting on the beach in Destin, FL relaxing, enjoying the sun, water, and a few cold ones from the cooler when I realize I left my Mp3 speakers in my suitcase. So all I've got for music is the beach neighbors boom box playing local radio with the same boring old songs I've heard a hundred times and of course those annoying commercials. It really got me thinking [...]

She's a surfer, a former model, and a singer-songwriter that's recently released her sophomore major label album Hello...x. She's Tristan Prettyman and even though you've heard her song 'Madly' on the radio, she'll still talk to Buzzgrinder. Tell us about your new album. How is it different from your previous work? This album is much more specific than 'twenty-three' . I always heard that recording your first album is pretty easy in that you have had your whole life [...]

This has been a shit week. I really didn't get through all my emails, newsfeeds, etc to listen to new music this week, and I don't really care to. So, you're getting a best-of mixtape sorta. It's basically the mix of some favorites from the past several months that haphazardly scobbled together. Download, listen, comment- or don't. I really don't care. Tracklisting: Cloud Cult - Pretty Voice Duffy - Warwick Avenue George Stanford [...]

You might remember me posting up the video for Madly , the first single off of Tristan Prettyman 's sophomore release Hello . Well I finally got a copy of the entire album, and I'm absolutely lovin' it as much as her last album! Tristan has put together twelve new tracks that focus on what she does best singing about - love. Only this time, instead of the demure sweet voiced, soft-spoken, doe-eyed Tristan we met on Twentythree , she's got a little more spunk and sass (try California Girl [...]
