I've been feeling unsafe when I venture out at night lately and I'm chalking it up to the recent presence of Crunkcore and Christian metal in Portland. While scouring the internet for a good place to purchase personal defense weapons, I came across something infinitely more exciting than a Panther Stun Gun: Hayes Carll 's two night stand at the Aladdin Theater on January 19th and 20th! Hooray! Let him lead us back to the shelter of our rowdy Americana roots. Hayes Carll sort of sounds like electric Bob Dylan meets Garth Brooks, but more Texas. Ok, [...]

Hey, we saw Justin Townes Earle (name must be written in full) a few months ago parading around the East Village with Jason Isbell (formerly of the Drive By Truckers.) He looked like the above song "Mama's Eyes" sounds -- dark and raw. One of our many motos here at Stark is "that's what we expect out our artists --" not to be too sadistic, but we want our favorites to be drunks, disturbed, do drugs, have promiscuous sex, over extend their welcomes (insert Wild Yaks' drummer at After The Jump here) -- it [...]
![Shufflin Cross Country, Day 1 Mix [SFO to SLC]](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2125958_lg.jpg)
Day 1 is complete. Here are the songs the popped up on the iPod on Day 1 of my cross country move (while I was tracking them). This is also why I love using shuffle. I wouldn't have picked out most of these if I were building a playlist from scratch. Wilco - Monday Stephen Malkmus - Gardenia Marah - Wild West Love Song Rolling Stones - Dead Flowers Gogol Bordello - Immigrant Punk Arctic Monkeys - Cornerstone The Beatles - Don't Ever Change Alela Diane - White As Diamonds [...]

Recommended Show: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2009 DEASTRO & MAX TUNDRA @ MERCURY LOUNGE 217 East Houston Street Manhattan, NY 10002 $12, 7:30PM The Deastro/Max Tundra tour is finally arriving in New York City! We got to see Deastro during CMJ, but Max Tundra's set is still totally new and unfamiliar here, so it should be a good, fun, and interesting night!

Andy Willsher My trip to London last May yielded no shortage of fond and lasting memories, but one of the most vivid is also one of the most unremarkable and inexplicable. My plan for my first visit to the city was pretty much to pick a particular district or two for each day I was there and just wander - one day, the West End, the next day, Soho, Covent Garden and Westminster, the day after, the East End and Greenwich. Greenwich wasn't a place I had any particular prior affinity for, but I [...]
One of the best surprises for me at our SxSW party last year was seeing Tigercity perform. They took the stage about 8 hours into the party after a series of alt-country acts like Joe Pug, Justin Townes Earle, The Deep Dark Woods and others. Their set was the turning point in the party. People ordered fewer beers and more red bull + vodka cocktails and things got a little weirder. I haven't had a chance to spin the album, but the 80's inspired "Fake Gold" is here as an mp3 and the video features the bald, bearded [...]

Andrew King : Sweet William's Ghost [ purchase ] Back in 1987-88, I was involved with a folk music coffeehouse in New Brunswick, NJ, called the Mine St Coffeehouse. One night, we had an English folk singer in named Nick Dow. He did a great performance, including Sweet William's Ghost. I had never heard the song before. Sweet William's Ghost is a Childe Ballad, but a fairly obscure one. And that's a shame, because it is a fine song. You may have noticed, however, that I did not post Nick Dow's [...]
It wasn't St. Patrick's Day but Thursday night sure felt like it - or something like a wild, drunken Irish party - as the legendary Pogues rolled into town to play at the House of Blues. This punk-Irish-rock unit hasn't visited Texas in 20 years but here they were in all their glory and best of all, they were led by dissipated frontman Shane MacGowan, singing and smoking and drinking and slurring right where he belongs. To see MacGowan in the flesh is to wonder how this man is alive at all. Obviously damaged by decades of boozing [...]
FRIDAY Dear Human / Babar / Kamfgrounds (Bee's Fifth Collective located at 306 Texas St. in Denton): You think there would be only one band called "Babar" on Myspace... Digital Leather / Thomas Function / Yussuf Jerusalem / Leg Sweeper (The Lounge): Digital Leather has softened their sound quite a bit, and it's definitely not what you could honestly describe as synth-punk at this point, but will still appeal to most people who buy records on Goner , who honestly put [...]

A tinge of regret still lingers for not making a road trip south to catch one of the big surprise dates that featured Old Crow Medicine Show , David Rawlings Machine (with Gillian Welch ), The Felice Brothers , and Justin Townes Earle . Some saving grace comes via news that David Rawlings Machine will play Madison's High Noon Saloon on Monday, December 7th . One can only hope/guess that David will be accompanied by Gillian Welch. Tickets: [...]
The Austin City Limits Festival is this weekend, and while it will unfortunately take place minus Merry Swankster representation, there's no reason to sour an otherwise tremendous month of music in the Lone Star State. But just for fun, here's who'd I see if I were making the trip to Austin: Blitzen Trapper, Avett Brothers, the Walkmen, Phoenix, Los Amigos Invisibles, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Deer Tick, the Ravonettes, !!!, Grizzly Bear, Flogging Molly, …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, Bon Iver, Mos Def, the Decemberists, the Dodos, Heartless Bastards, Arctic Monkeys, Dirty Projectors, [...]
