Just a few quick schedule updates for some on-air happenings at WDVX this week... ***I had mentioned over the weekend that Jill Andrews of the everybodyfields would be joining me on the air tonight as part of the WDVX Fall Fund Drive. That appearance has been postponed as Jill has been given the opportunity to open for Willie Nelson tonight at the Tennessee Theatre. I spoke with her yesterday, and she is very excited for the chance to play on the same stage as one of the legends of Country [...]
Widespread Panic and The Allman Brothers Band have been synonymous with Walnut Creek amphitheatre since the venue's inception in 1991. Widespread Panic (WSP) have one of the longest existing relationships with the venue, having performed one of the very first shows there in 1991 , and the Allman Brothers Band (ABB) have performed at the venue every year since it opened - an incredible streak that will never be rivaled. [All photos by Dave Rogers of AWAY-TEAM.COM ] While Panic's highly [...]

As has become the custom, Farm Aid board members Willie Nelson , Neil Young , John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews with band will perform, with Wilco [...]
Both A.J. Crandall and Jennifer Kirk will be reporting live from Manchester on Bonnaroo 2009 for Hidden Track and Glide Magazine. We've asked each of them to write a preview of what the weekend will hold for them. Today we'll share A.J.'s look at Bonnaroos past (2007, 2008) and future... I've got some packing to do. I just looked it up. Southwest airlines lets you take two bags free. Last month's trip to NY, on two airlines that'll go nameless for now, [...]
Sylvester's Over and Over is by far one of my favorite classic dance tunes. Released in 1977 on Fantasy Records , the Ashford and Simpson penned anthem was a staple for D J Larry Levan and his faithful Paradise Garage acolytes. It too has found a permanent place in my nightly "party records" rotation. Of course with a singer of Sylvester's caliber, it is easy for the vocal performance to outshine the musical arrangement, but to me, the latter wins in [...]
The lineup for the 2009 10,000 Lakes Music Festival was announced a while back while we were still on hiatus, and they announced a few lineup additions late last week.

Read on for the full lineup. 10KLF '09 Lineup Dave Matthews Band Widespread Panic (2 nights) Wilco [...]

Burke Barlow of The Deep Dark Woods Well folks, four sunny days, countless venues, numerous Lone Stars and about 40 some odd bands. Here is my long-winded report. Top 3 Performances 1. Dead Confederate - Home Slice Pizza (Thurs): The Athens crew continue to impress at every turn and this set did nothing to disappoint. Mixing a Sonic Youth cover in with their own material, they played for 70 minutes with two encores. 2. Ha Ha Tonka - Red Eye Fly (Sat): Saying we love these [...]
Check out the latest mix from Fact Magazine : Former manager of the Crosstown Rebels label, Styles was a key player on London's house and techno scene before his recent relocation to Berlin. A true DJ's DJ, he hosted the infamous Sunday night party Dig Your Own Rave and co-helmed the acclaimed Get Lost mix CD with Damian Lazarus.

Since 1997 Germany's Jazzanova has been bringing us their special brand of deep house, nu jazz and broken beat. I remember spinning a lot of their tunes at Liquids Lounge on College Street, (Now Toi Bar), back when I was a house D.J. I was billed as "and guest" on flyers for Jenneric parties like "The Return of Smooth" with Eric Abelev, Kid Vez and Aaron Mossey. It was a "house" night where we would spin everything from progressive to deep house, bossa and latin house music. Until now, whenever I saw a Jazzanova release I knew to expect a [...]
Dark Was The Night is a 2-disc, 31-track piece of work where some of our favorite acts (Feist, Bon Iver, Grizzly Bear, The Decemberists, Spoon, Arcade Fire, Cat Power and Sufjan Stevens to name a few) hope to raise money and awareness for HIV/AIDS. Even if you don't usually buy albums (I think that should be your New Years resolution), make an effort to purchase this one. It's full of amazing, beautiful music and it helps a worthy cause. On February 17th, Dark Was The Night will be available in double CD, triple vinyl, and [...]

![Peter Rowan::Texican Album, 1980 [Album]](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/1476754_lg.jpg)
After seeing Peter Rowan's stand-out opening set back in November at the Paramount Theater (which was followed by performances from Jesse Winchester and Guy Clark), I was inspired to go back and re-visit some of my favorite Peter Rowan recordings from my own personal music library. While rolling through my collection of CD's and old vinyl records I happened to stumbled across this often over-looked classic.

Dernièrement, j'ai regardé le film I'm Not There consacré à Bob Dylan . J'avais dans l'ensemble entendu beaucoup de bien de ce film. De plus, vu les critiques souvent élogieuses et un casting impressionnant ( Christian Bale , Cate Blanchett , Charlotte Gainsbourg , Richard Gere , Julianne Moore ...), je m'attendais à passer 135 bonnes minutes, d'autant plus que Bob Dylan figure parmi ces artistes légendaires que j'apprécie fortement. Quand on lit quelques critiques du film, les mots qui reviennent le plus souvent pour le décrire sont "kaléidoscope", "patchwork", ou [...]
Two coaches were told they needed to win to keep their jobs, had double digit leads at half-time, lost by double digits — and lost their jobs. Bucs 31, Packers 20. I hope Packers fans are patient with Aaron Rodgers. I'm more disappointed with Ryan Grant. Bills 31, Rams 14. The players fought hard for Linehan for three quarters, then they remembered that a win = his job security. Redskins 26, Cowboys 24. It's ridiculous how much the Cowboys, Vikings and Cardinals have been the [...]
This is it, folks. The final day of MFNW might have lacked some of Friday's fireworks (did you see the Monotonix videos?) but it more than made up for it with a whole slew of great shows. Phew. Today's contributor's include (in no particular order) Brandon Seifert, Robert Ham, Nilina Mason-Campbell, Mark Stock, Michael Mannheimer, David Robinson, and Casey Jarman. 3:25 pm, Hawthorne Fred Meyer's: Musicfest supplies, day four: Power Bar. Two Red Bulls. Bottle of Advil. It's been a good fest. (BS) 4:40 pm, Backspace: Decompressing with my [...]
