Top Tracks of 2012

fig1. Pontiak Well, no post in over a year. No good excuse for the long hiatus but an end of the year list is a good enough reason to break the cycle. Instead of the traditional top 10/20/50/100 list, here are a bunch of songs that resonated with me in 2012 - no order, just placed into random groups at the last minute. fig [...]

Top 10 Tracks of 2011

Top 10 Tracks of 2011 figure 1. Wye Oak 2011 - another year of looking back? At first glance it appears that way. Amazing reissues from Archers of Loaf ( Icky Mettle ), Superchunk ( Foolish ), R.E.M. ( Life's Rich Pageant - p.s. their best album) and Dinosaur jr. (the first three records). Despite all the old material out there, there was some fantastic new music. What follows is my top ten. All links to music are free and legal. [...]

Dum Dum Girls

Dum Dum Girls God Bless America, it's been a while since I've updated this thing. So for the seven of you out there that actually read this blog, my sincerest apologies. With all due respect to the groups in recent years attempting to take on the torch passed down by The Rondelles and The Supremes (e.g. Vivian Girls, Pipettes, etc), none can touch the Dum Dum Girls. Informed not only by the aforementioned 60's girl groups, there is a touch of shoegaze and a healthy dose of Hope Sandoval-esque (Mazzy Star) vocals. All of these influences come together [...]

New Kristin Hersh/50 Foot Wave

New Kristin Hersh/50 Foot Wave In the last ten years Kristin Hersh, the 44-year-old mother of four boys, has released four solo albums, one album with her beloved Throwing Muses, a memoir entitled Rat Girl (Penguin Books) and a whole bunch of material (one LP, four EPs, and a bunch of singles) with her post-punk outfit 50 Foot Wave, which also includes Throwing Muses' bassist, Bernard Georges. To say that she has kept herself busy is an understatement. So busy that filmmaker Jackie Weissman chose Hersh to focus on for her documentary Rock and Roll Mamas (set for a Fall 2011 [...]

Superchunk - 9:30 Club - 9.17.10

Superchunk - 9:30 Club - 9.17.10 There was a time in my life, say late 1992 to 1998, that Superchunk was my second favorite band in the world (Fugazi holding top billing). In the pre-internet days of Summer 1991, I was obsessed with the music playing in the background of a British Knights shoe commercial. It was punk but catchy as hell. Unable to google "British Knights commercial music", I was left unsatisfied until I read a small piece in SPIN magazine about this band from North Carolina who was behind the BK commercial music. 1991's No Pocky For Kitty [...]

Having won a ticket through a lottery for members of its email list-serve, I headed down the BW Parkway to check it out. What follows is one man's account of the 13-artist, five and a hour extravaganza that followed. Call it my running diary of the show. A little background: My first trip to the [...]

Despite The Mix, Vol. 12

Despite The Mix, Vol. 12 fig 1. The Wrens I got a chance to catch The Wrens on their "extensive" East Coast tour (Philly & Baltimore) on Saturday night with Scottie at Sonar. You would think seven years would be enough time between albums but no firm word yet on the new release. After seeing them perform a less than inspired set last December at The Black Cat in DC, I was reinvigorated by their Baltimore set - high energy, small room, fired up audience. Yes, they played The Meadowlands in its [...]

Vic Chesnutt 1964-2009

Vic Chesnutt 1964-2009 Fifteen years after the completion of college I often get nostalgic for the times my high school friends and I would get together during the winter holidays. Often my friend Dave, a student at the University of Georgia, would mention some new band he'd seen or met in Athens. Now Dave knew of what he spoke - he roomed with Elf Power's Anderw Reiger his freshman year and ended up as a close friend and collaborator with many of the Elephant 6 crew. Dave also introduced me to the music of fellow Athens resident, Vic Chesnutt. [...]
