Friday (3/11) at 8pm, Grace Central, 237 W. 2nd Ave. Mallonee will be playing with his wife, Muriah Rose, so it should sound something kinda like this video. Here's a Q&A I did for TOP, and some Vigilantes music if you're not familiar (1999 album produced by Buddy Miller, features Emmylou Harris, etc.): Tweet
By Matt Jarrard Missy fulfilled all her goals Wine bags and a nice fake rolls Cheap diamonds or tall boys and races TV gets your mind, crumbles, and unlaces Yeah, that's the stuff of Athen's Efren. Its the stuff of rural life, desperation, poverty, chances taken, opportunities missed...it's dark, folky, americana. The gritty twanged vocals [...]

I'm just getting over my yearly bout of the summer plague, but I wanted to post something about the anniversary of when the country of my birth stuck it to those imperialistic bastards across the pond. Of course, now I am living in another commonwealth colony, and the Queen is even in town today for today's Pride parade (Not really, but I thought that was funny. Get it? Queen? Pride? OK, maybe not so funny.) I'm reposting the same tunes I posted last year. They are songs that describe the hope, fear, love, [...]

On Wednesday, July 1, (Canada Day up here), the New York Times ran a fun Op-Ed piece written by various Canadians who now live in the US on what they miss most about home. Actor/comedian Rick Moranis leads the essay with a little history, followed by musings on loonies, toques, and "demure" Canadians. Others talk about cold, snowy winters, Franophones, Second Cup , hockey, "colo u r," free health care, Coffee Crisp , and other northern specialties. I actually can't believe that no one mentioned Tim Hortons , although that franchise has [...]

While browsing through the archive the other day, I realized it's been awhile since we've had a contributor here on T-Sides. So, I put out a call to some trusted associates, asking if there was anyone who'd like to take a turn at it. Fellow Popdose associate Dw. Dunphy answered the call with this alluring write-up of a tune and artist yours truly had never heard until now. Ah, and thus, the whole point of having different voices here. So, without further delay... This is nothing new, really. Don MacLean had a [...]

If you are a fan of literate americana rock you have no doubt heard of The Vigilantes of Love and Bill Mallonee. But maybe not; Bill and his band have labored in relative obscurity for over a decade now, all the while producing a great body of work. (See a VOL & Bill Mallonee at amazon) They always promised to be just around the corner from breaking out to a bigger audience but never have quite yet. Bill Mallonee will be doing a solo show at the Intersection, July 29, 2008 at 7pm. [...]

Often I will dream of Christmas music not yet made (is that I a sign I listen to too much of this stuff??) I mean, how cool would it be to get a Christmas compilation with songs by the likes of Leonard Cohen, Michael Gira, the Tindersticks, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Tom Waits, and the sort? And not simply cover versions, but originals penned by these masters? Oh, I keep dreaming of the day. But I am glad I have what I have, and there are some fantastic songs that fill that void [...]
Here's a list of links from Chris Carder. But first, if you ever google , msn , or yahoo chris carder you'll notice one of the paid ads almost always associated with my name. as of yet, this link does not have any Chris Carder Music, thus a warning label is in order: Carderville Dependent Artists (a swicki - a search community) You Can get Trust Now [...]
