[Photo from the Mountain Jam Facebook Page] With its all-star lineup of sacred steel /modern jazz/blues musicians, you can't help but call The Word a supergroup. Featuring Robert Randolph ( pedal steel guitar ), John Medeski ( keyboards ), and all three members of North Mississippi Allstars - Luther Dickinson ( electric guitar ), Cody Dickinson ( drums , washboard ), and Chris Chew ( bass guitar ), The Word don't generally get to tour together often (although they've done some festival dates this summer), but when these players share a stage, it's an [...]
[Photos courtesy of Dino Perrucci Photography ] As someone who spent their college years in North Carolina at the turn of last century, Ben Folds Five has always been special to me. A native North Carolinian introduced me to Ben Folds' music, and the themes in the music - romantic frustration, fear of consequences, and straight-up rage at lovers who jilt you - found natural purchase in my young self. I saw the band a bunch of times between 1997 and 2000 in my then-home state, outdoors and on the quad, at the Cat's Cradle [...]
![Gov’t Mule: June 2, 2012 Mountain Jam – FLAC and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Songs [2 sources]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4313048_lg.jpg)
[Photos courtesy of Dino Perrucci Photography ] If you're a doubter of "jamband festivals", this Gov't Mule performance from Mountain Jam alone might make you reconsider. Three of us from the NYCTaper crew came out for Saturday of this year's Mountain Jam, held at the Hunter Mountain Ski Resort in Hunter, NY, and the Mule was that day's main attraction for a number of reasons. The fact that they are a legendary live band was only part of the picture this time; this particular performance also honored the late, great Levon Helm [...]

So I've been dealing with a lot of nonsense lately, people trying to take credit for my work, trying to destroy themselves and take me with them. Haters wanna beat me to the ground, ni%#@ how that sound my shit is better than it sounds..." - G.O.V. I got caught up in the nonsense but long story short, life is short and then you're on life support so I'm moving on and making the most of time on earth... Another hero - [...]

Here's another gem that arrived in my inbox recently. And it seems we've got another Russian entry onto the site thanks to Upstation courtesy of their great reworking of London's Zoot Woman who is not a woman at all, but rather the British electronic band made up of Adam Blake, Stuart Price and Johnny Blake. Besides adding a great beat, Upstation really kicks it up a notch giving their remix a much jazzier flavor than the original. It seems to have much of the same flavor as the other Russian act we've posted [...]

C oming from one of our favorite places in the world, Russia, we have Moscow's Upstation. Sung in English with a dreamy 80's teenage yearning, this music deserves it's time here in America. Excellently crafted " One Little Secret " would have found a comfortable home on the Breakfast Club Soundtrack. Another strong track " No More Promises " has a nice blend of bass n' drums peppered with electronic goodness. However , the highlight of their released new music is clearly " Get it On ". The track is dying for a remix, and the [...]

So Upstation is a Moscow based group that sent me some of their stuff. While many of their tracks came off as a little bit too cheesy for my tastes, a few of them really hit the spot. "Get It On" is unbelievably danceable and though "She Won't Forget You Boy" is still saccharine sweet, sometimes you need a little bit of that in your ears. Upstation - "Get it on" "She won't forget you Boy"
Could I just copy the words to The Sun Also Rises, throw in some fresh adjectives and updated references and get it published as the remixed version? Honestly, I’m so tired of remixes. I go through my inbox and see remix after remix after remix. Are you serious? Make your own damned music if you’re so talented. And not to be hateful, but I don’t even care if you disagree. So, that said, here’s what I found that wasn’t just someone else’s music with a couple of echo effects and a drum loop thrown in: While this [...]
kinda missed the party on the first upstation hype but it seems the lad has tidied up Stuart Prices band Zoot Woman and the track 'More Than Ever'. usually home to a stiff drink and forefront heavy music production the moscow artist is more in line with david bowie and 802s synth-pop. Zoot Woman - More than ever (Upstation remix) 192Kbps Upstation - Get It On 192kbps I still find myself listening to the original zw album from [...]
Upstation is a Moscow based band that plays some kind of indie pop with a touch of nu wave, disco and a kiss of the 802s. Highly pleasing to the ears and will make you dance, even if you are stuck in an office on Monday. Check them out. enjoY! Upstation - Get It On
So my schedule has been all over the place lately, including a trip up to New England where I stayed with some family friends who had no wireless and used dial-up (see: computer equivalent of the stone age). I also missed the past two mailbags. I chose not to write the first one because the submissions were that bad, but the most recent was just because I've been in the middle of internet-less New Hampshire. SO, because I feel like I owe VacayNation something special, here is the most epic post of my Vacay career: El Gingero's VacayAwards. [...]
