I love Steve Earle and Allison Moorer. I think Bruce Robison and Kelly Willis are great. Karin Bergquist and Linford Detweiler of Over the Rhine make me giddy. You know how I feel about Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson. For my money, though, Buddy & Julie Miller are the first couple of Americana music. Buddy is the multi-instrumentalist/producer /singer/songwriter [...]

"HAPPY F&#*IN' HALLOWEEN, JUGGALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS!!!!!" This low, bellowing voice was the greeting of a big bald dude in the middle of a wrestling ring with "Hallowicked" painted on the side of it. The packed hive of demented clown people cheered back. If my 5 hour perspective on Detroit is accurate (and I'm hoping it's not), the population of Detroit is distributed roughly: 0.5 parts hipster; 3 parts panhandler; and 1209812091724019842 parts Juggalo. I've never played a show with a paper thin wall separating me from an Insane Clown Posse after party on Halloween (complete with wrestling ring [...]
I can't say I'm a huge fan of Richard Curtis ' body of work (screenwriter of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill , and writer/director of Love Actually ), but I'm mildly interested in Pirate Radio , which opens nationwide on November 13th. Curtis, who hails from New Zealand, apparently came up with concept for the film about a band of merry pirate radio station DJs set in the '60s about ten years ago but kept the idea on the back burner while working on other film projects. [...]
In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book. Finch is the third book in Jeff VanderMeer's Ambergris Cycle, and also the third book in the series to inspire its own soundtrack (by Murder By Death ). With Finch , Jeff VanderMeer has created a richly populated world with speculative fiction imbibed with impressive detective noir storytelling. Paul Tremblay wrote of the book: "Told in a [...]
Richard and Linda Thompson and band perform "Shoot Out the Lights."
In the time since I first heard Espers and shrugged them off as twee folksy flouncers I have experienced a sudden connection with the late sixties through early seventies British folk-rock that so many link this band to. Richard & Linda Thompson, Fairport, Sandy Denny, Fotheringay… Okay, so my remit is still pretty narrow, circling around a handful of musicians who were certainly not the be all and end all of my ancestral folk-rock, but the fact remains that a genre I once thought ridiculous has become a staple of my listening.
Filed under: Video , Exclusive After being a founding member of Pavement and formerly fronting Preston School of Industry, Scott Kannberg is returning under the pseudonym Spiral Stairs with his first solo album, 'The Real Feel.' Just released on Oct. 20, the record is now accompanied with a brand-new video for its first single, 'Cold Change.' The album is a long time coming, with Kannberg having shaped it from his life since 2004's 'Monsoon,' his last release with Preston School. Kannberg worked on [...]
You know, much as I love him, I don't, generally speaking, really think of Richard Thompson as a powerpop guy. Which is one reason I just dig the hell out of this 1998 RT live version of "She May Call You Up Tonite," my third favorite song on The Left Banke 's classic and genre-defining 1966 album. I've actually got a live tape -- which I may post one of these days -- of my 90s band doing this at a [...]
Paris photo by Stuck In Customs We know 2001 as a demode Michael Bay movie come to life. Literally, a few hours when we thought civilization was ending, or at least that is what it seemed like here in Washington. I don't like documentaries about that day because they always begin with how pretty the weather was and how la dee da... and then you know what is coming and you can't do anything about it. [...]
NYC/Portland's Trevor Giuliani isn't singer-songwriter material; this is way too structured to be your basic singer-songwriter. Subcontrario (In Stereo) , the new album from Trevor Giuliani makes layed pop music that works well for the coffee shop crowd as well as those looking for very detailed and colorful tunes. Sounding like the next Swedish multi-instrumentalist sensation, Trevor Giuliani takes his many influences and translates them in this lush and catchy album filled with a seemingly carefree notion. Nothing seems forced or fake...just fun. Buy Subcontrario (In [...]
Here are the Wisconsin and Chicago shows we recommend you take in this week. Check them out below and let us know which ones you'll be attending or ones you think should really make our list . This week's recommended new releases include offerings from Devendra Banhart , R.E.M. , and Tegan and Sara . Upcoming Wisconsin Shows: 10/27 - David Bazan + Say Hi - High Noon [...]
Here's a second helping of Donovan's atmospheric classic ( click here to see Volume One ). In chronological order, here are ten versions. As always, I recommend the zip, but you can cherry pick. (I have many more versions, but they are mostly either terrible, or jambands, which -- sorry! -- tend to run together to me. If you wanna hear more, comment down below.) Zipfile Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger (1967) 1 2 Vanilla Fudge (1968) 1 [...]
Another solid week of shows coming up in Chicago this week. Sadly, though, most of the best shows are bunched up at the start of the week, meaning there aren't too many interesting shows I can take my younger brother to when he's in town this weekend. I'm sure we'll find something to do, though - this ain't DC. (Snap!) As always, my picks in bold . Sunday, 10/25 Beat Kitchen (early - 12pm): Shana Sings (special Halloween show) Beat Kitchen (7pm): [...]
It's the buzz of the blogs: brand spankin' new Federal Trade Commission guidelines for bloggers now require full disclosure of any personal benefit received gratis . With bloggers on both sides of the fence, it's not yet clear whether that would include those gifts garnered purely as part of the review process, such as passes to shows, and promotional and review materials both digital and tangible of any value whatsoever. Like many culture vultures and blogwatchers, though I recognize the need to create some sort of oversight which would [...]
Last night was another recovery evening for me (what can I say, I'm old and 30 Rock was calling), so I didn't get a chance to check out any bands, but tonight I'll be back at 'er like a college kid after a few rounds of beer pong. Here's what's on my radar for this CMJ Friday ( Oct 23 ): The Uglysuit - Rockwood Music Hall Holly Miranda - LPR Daptone Records Showcase - Knitting Factory Calypso - Bowery Electric Cymbals [...]
When the first season of your critically acclaimed Sundance Channel series managed to attract both Bill Clinton and Lou Reed as guests, it's hard to imagine topping that in season two. And yet, it looks like the new round of Spectacle: Elvis Costello with... shows is going to very high-wattage indeed. This year's marquee names are two of the biggest in rock: Bruce Springsteen and Bono . And the rest of the line-up is nothing to sneeze at either, including Sheryl Crow , Lyle Lovett , [...]
