Dana Falconberry - Muskegon

Jan 14, 11:19am The Smudge of Ashen Fluff
Dana Falconberry - Muskegon The last thing you need is yet another west coast beach-influenced song. But this is not that west coast. This is the west coast of Michigan, and the beach is in Muskegon. I took this photo after a short walk through the woods. Though at first glance you might think you would love to be here right now, I squeezed the camera button through a gloved hand in the biting north December chill. On the opposite dune, there were solitary trails of footprints in the sand. Dana Falconberry [...]

Let's All Have a Love-a-Rama

Jan 2, 7:55pm The Smudge of Ashen Fluff
From the Alabama Music Hall of Fame: Leon Bass learned to play the guitar and sing when he was 14 years old. Around 1955 or 1956 he traveled to Florence, Alabama and worked with James Joiner's Tune Records recording a couple of songs he had written - "Love-a-Rama" and "Come On Baby." The record never did much on the charts but later became a collector's item and is listed at #250 on Rolling Stone Magazine's 1000 Collector Records Chart. "Love-a-Rama" has been covered by The Country Rockers and Southern Culture on the Skids and was [...]

The Year of Dangerous Ladies

LANA DEL REY-BLUE JEANS
Earlier this year, we looked EMA in the eye, as she morphed "butterfly kisses" with sinister wordplay into "20 kisses with a butterfly knife." (mp3) And now, here, Lana Del Rey's "Blue Jeans" turns images, innocuous alone, into the unsettled emissions of a tortured subconscious.

The Ettes 'Excuse' from Wicked Will
The Ettes ' new video has all the makings of a major blockbuster, except...scenery. But no matter. As director Tom Scharpling suggests, its grandiosity shall match that of your imagination. Then again, this song begs for volume, not scenery, so turn it up. If Michael Bay made a rock song, it might sound something like this. If he made a rock video, on the other hand, it might look a bit different. The Ettes - Excuse (mp3) [...]

Male Bonding - Dig You Out (LIVE video)

Male Bonding - Dig You Out (LIVE VIDEO)
The stage is about the size of a D.C. parking space, a few inches clearance from elbow to elbow, and if you're lucky, you can see the Male Bonding drummer when a beer bottle-sized space opens between standing members. You can't make out a single lyric, but you can do a poignancy check later with the headphones. There's not much air in the little room, and every single molecule of it is bouncing around like a pinball. These beautiful clustered moments only happen before bigger stages give a band more room than they know what [...]
