the breton sound live tonight at mud and water, baton rouge

the breton sound live tonight at mud and water, baton rouge been following these chaps on twitter for seemingly years now, and have never seen them, for whatever reason. anyway, tonight, hopefully that all will change. new orleans' the breton sound is who i am talking about if you havent figured that out. they recently released a new ep entitled maps, and its great. admittedly, even though we were "friends" on twitter, i had never actually heard em. one thing i love about em is that there is something decidedly 902s about em, which of course is my favorite era in music. this is not early 902s [...]

hallelujah the hills “three minute mark”

hallelujah the hills “three minute mark” you ever run into a band, that seemingly everything they put out, hits you in just the right spots? yeah, thats me and hallelujah the hills . they just put out a odds and sods double record that is made up of b-sides, non album tracks, etc and god damn if it aint better than most bands/artisits real records. it's entitled portrait of the artist as a young trashcan , and i cant recommend it enough, if you havent figured that out. they are one of those bands that sure they're shit is catchy, quirky, etc, but there [...]

centro-matic live at mercy lounge, nashville

centro-matic live at mercy lounge, nashville photo by me top of the monday evening! trying to get back into this blogging thing, but admittedly its been tough. then again, for the past year or so i have been going in spurts, which i guess is better than nothing esp after almost 8 years of doing this. anyway, so my boys centro-matic are in the studio recording a new record which has a working title of take pride in your long odds . seems mildly fitting for the band, who i think is one of, if not the best bands playing [...]

the clash “rat patrol from fort bragg”

the clash “rat patrol from fort bragg” top of the day, fools! the past week has been kind of weird, thus the silence. my grandma, who wasnt in the best of health, but still alive and kicking, passed away last week. so, in her honour, here is the clash bootleg rat patrol from fort bragg . she was a huge clash fan, in fact she was at the show when the iconic photo for london calling was shot. thats a lie, but sounds cool. that picture was from the last time i saw her, which was sadly 2 years ago at my brothers wedding.

the everybodyfields - Can't Have It (Live from Rhythm N' Blooms 2013)
oh dear lord. i could not be more excited about this. for those that dont know, they put out one of my favorite records ever, nothing is okay , back in 08 - i think that was the year. anyway, they put it out, played some shows, then for whatever reason, broke up. its an absolutely heartbreakingly gorgeous record that i still listen to on a weekly basis. i cannot, i repeat, cannot recommend it enough. keep in mind, the two singers sam and jill were probably dating/breaking up during the making of this, not to start any rumours [...]

dead trend “bad policy”

dead trend “bad policy” i dont talk too much about punk bands, mostly due to the fact that i never get sent anything from said genre nor do i ever really seek it out. during my late teens - late 202s i listened to quite a bit of punk. so its in my bloodstream, just as is 902s r&b, and oddly enough barry manilow, but thats whole other story for another time. hailing from portland, maine is dead trend who are releasing their first full length record on may 7 entitled false positive . the record is made up of 21 songs and [...]

aly tadros w/ ben balmer “whim” i dont know much about aly tadros and her song featuring ben balmer, "whim," but apparently it was inspired by streaking and alcohol. if you knew me way back when, i was known to streak through parties on a whim - no pun intended. in fact i wouldnt run through a house, or a backyard party, no, i would be naked, beer in hand and act like nothing was amiss. so, this is a song i could get behind just by the description alone. as it turns out, i like it a lot. ben has a great voice, [...]
