Yesterday's post was from forty years ago. The music for today's post is from this year but sounds like it was recorded a hundred years ago. Go figure! The Asylum Street Spankers' new record God's Favorite Band is a live concert recording of mostly gospel inspired music. But as you can see from the photo above this is not your grandpa's gospel group. To celebrate the new record the band is going out on a tour called Salvation and Sin . The first half of the show will [...]

The new Mountain Goats album, Life of the World to Come is in stores tomorrow. I often state that John Darnielle is my favorite songwriter working today, but what continues to amaze me is the continual growth in his songwriting. This may be his finest work yet. This week's release list is filled with noteworthy albums, many of which will find their way on end of year best albums lists. A few of the week's outstanding releases I can strongly recommend are Alela Diane's Alela and Alina [...]

Today is the high holiday for stoners, so LWMB asked former High Times editor Steve Bloom , who currently helms Celebstoner.com , to pack a few smokin' 4/20 playlists.

So kick back, relax and crank up one of these playlists— at 4:20pm, if at all possible. 4 Celebstoner Playlists Playlist #1 1. Bob Marley – "Kaya" [...]
For those of you music fans in and around Charlottesville, the news that the Gravity Lounge, one of my favorite Charlottesville music venues, has closed its doors has become the talk of the town since The Hook first reported the news late Wednesday night. [You can read The Hook's article concerning the closure HERE ]. For some of you, the news may have come as no surprise given the public disclosure of the financial problems surrounding the venue's manager Bill Baldwin, who, as was reported back in February, was [...]
Emily Kaitz : Shallow End of the Gene Pool [ purchase ] It seems that no one could possibly mean to search for Emily Kaitz. Try it yourself, and you'll see what I mean. Search Amazon's music page, and, yes, you will find Kaitz' albums. But there follows a list that assures you that you must have meant Emily Kate (who?). Look for Pingleglobber, Kaitz' label, on Google, and you get asked if you really meant pingle globber. But Trout Fishing in America looks for Kaitz on purpose when [...]

As the names keep piling up for South by Southwest 2009 ( Decemberists at Stubbs ! Grizzy Bear! Devo!!), a more subtle development has caught our attention that - while less impressive than this year's roster of names - will no doubt prove far more useful to those intrepid souls heading down to Austin next month. Similar to the customizable schedule-maker that CMJ unveiled for last year's Music Marathon, mySXSW.com is a new platform unveiled on the SXSW site earlier this week that allows users to manage their own personal itineraries throughout the four-day event.
