Wednesday, November 18, 2009 At the end of 2009, Side One and I will part ways, but it's been a great year and I want to thank John for this awesome opportunity. I've been able to write about music I love, and you can't ask for much more than that. Stick around, though, I'll have a best of 2009 list coming up, and John has many more indie tricks, action photos, and great writing up his sleeve. NEW JAMS: : CunninLynguists - [...]

photos by Zack Roberts "She did a mix of her solo songs with Dresden songs, some old cabaret standards. A really sad song about a woman growing up and missing her mom now that shes gone. It made me cry. She did a funny song about a pirate too. It wasnt just a regular concert though. Amanda read snippets from her boyfriend Neil Gaiman's book titled Who Killed Amanda Palmer . Its a really cool book that I totally need to get. [...]
Nicolay takes it to another level on this, his latest City Lights volume. A misstep here or there, sure, but it's a damn good offering from one of music's best producers. I certainly hope you have your bags packed before popping this disc into your stereo or loading it onto your mp3 player. If not, that's fine. I guess. But don't be surprised if playing Nicolay's latest, City Lights Vol. 2: Shibuya, has you craving a trip to the Japanese city of the same name. It's not that his soundscapes are oozing with traditional sounds from the country or [...]

A rainy Monday; deepest, darkest Leeds 6 and two be-hatted miserablists. How's that for a recipe for a fun night? Pretty irresistable from where I'm standing. Eitzel was headlining, of course, and Nicolay admitted he was a bit starstruck and had learned the guitar from Songs of Love . I'm just posting up the cover of Nicolay's album because, well, it's a good 'tache. And he's sporting a similar number. So, a night of tears in beers, jokey openings and jumping in the crowd for Franz, Rabelasian stories from Mark (samples: " [...]

The title might be wordy, but it truly says it all. On December 1st, The Orchard will digitally reissue the entire catalog of Lifter Puller , the Minneapolis outfit that featured now Hold Steady members Craig Finn and Tad Kubler. As the story goes, Lifter Puller formed in 1994 and would release three full-length efforts and an EP before calling it quits in 2000. And while The Hold Steady were formed shortly thereafter, the band's discography would go on to earn a cult following, which would be realized by a sold-out three-night reunion [...]

Well this is a bit of a big week for Song, by Toad Records. Apart from the fact that the Loch Lomond/Builders & the Butchers split 123 is now officially available to buy, we also have the Meursault single launch on Saturday, with three of my favourite bands. We're releasing four A-sides on two 73 singles, on clear vinyl: new recordings of William Henry Miller Parts One and Two are going back to back with A Few Kind Words and the Dirt & the Roots from Pissing on Bonfires/Kissing With Tongues. Officially, neither single is being released until the first [...]
Als muzikant mag je blij zijn als je iemand zoals mij als fan hebt. Ik ben namelijk hondstrouw. Het is misschien een beetje een saaie eigenschap, maar het is niet anders. Artiesten zoals Damien Jurado, Richard Buckner en de Handsome Family volg ik al jaren- ik koop hun albums en laat, als het even kan, mijn neus zien bij optredens. In 1991 kocht ik Songs of Love van Mark Eitzel en ik was verkocht. Met terugwerkende kracht kocht ik alles dat Eitzel met zijn band American Music Club tot dan toe uit hadden gebracht. En ik [...]
