[How did I never notice that Ryan Adams and Bryan Adams share the same birthday? Ryan turns the big three-five today, and Bryan the even bigger five-oh ... meaning he was 9 in the "Summer of '69." Celebrate by hitting a show ...] The Pixies aren't the only iconic band from the 1980s making the rounds — Dinosaur Jr., whose new album "Farm" is arguably as good as anything in their catalog, hits town for a show at the House of Blues. And the bonus: Bassist Lou [...]

The melancholic pop of Andy Chase and Brookville shines front and center on its third album, lyrically idiosyncratic yet musically accessible.
The Happy Hollows Monday Residency at Spaceland Starts This Week Sorry for the lack of posts, thanks for sticking with me. I caught Kris Kristofferson at the Walt Disney Concert Hall last night. You've got to be a fan of his poetry, because he's not a dynamic performer. That said, he's a legend and I was happy to see him for a second time. I've missed all the recent "secret" shows, but there are a few more this week... Monday 11/2/09 [...]

Sorry for the relative silence around these parts the last few days. I'm still settling into my new Chicago digs, though thankfully I'm just about done unpacking.

If I've missed anything, feel free to add it in the comments! Oh, and I beg you... someone out there has to go see Cattle Decapitation at Bottom Lounge [...]

The live music highlight of last week was seeing Ross Flournoy at the Little Room at Largo. That's a great little spot to see music. With the future of the Broken West in doubt, it was great to see him perform a couple of new songs along with some Broken West classics. Monday 9/28/09 [Pick of the Night] Leslie and the Badgers / Sian Alice Group / Best Coast / Paperplanes @ The Echo (Free) – Night three of their Monday night residency. [Recommended] [...]
7 Worlds Collide's Sun Came Out is a unique album, a project by Neil Finn with original songs written and performed by Finn, Jeff Tweedy, Johnny Marr, KT Tunstall and others. The Avett Brothers' I and Love and You is one of the year's musical highlights for me, I can't recommend this disc enough. Other releases I can strongly recommend this week include Cymbals Eat Guitars' Why There Are Mountains (which finally gets a label release), Ghostface Killah's [...]

If you know Andy Chase, it's probably as a producer who's worked with the likes of the Smashing Pumpkins, Fountains of Wayne, Juliana Hatfield, Tahiti 80 and the Trashcan Sinatras, or as a member (with his wife, singer Dominique Durand) of the band Ivy . But Chase also fronts the side project Brookville , a vehicle for his unfailingly melodic guitar pop. Brookville's third album and best yet, "Broken Lights," is out next week; it'll take you to that pop place. Above, the video for "Great Mistake." ||| Live: Brookville opens for the [...]

It's getting nearer to that time of year when the music biz tends to release what they hope will be big sellers (and the repackaged best of 'whoever' emerge of course), so it's great to see that there is still no shortage of new & newer bands vying for attention. The Kora Records continue on their march for world domination with Sweden's Fredrik (pictured) who have their second full length album 'Trilogi' released this coming November 17th. Fredrik started out in late 2006 as the songwriter/sound artist duo of Fredrik and Lindefelt. The idea was to [...]
