Sticking with the new theme around here...this is a playlist with choice songs from a mixed cd I just put in my mom's PT Cruiser. It's pretty fast. 1. Yellow Ostrich - Marathon Runner 2. Plants & Animals - Lightshow 3. Brian TV - Something About Love 4. ALLAH-LAHS - Catamaran [...]
There were so many good EPs this year that they deserved their own list, although they easily could have competed with my top spots for albums. Bands, especially new bands, blew me away with their three to four flawless songs time and time again. The fact that these songs aren't getting lost in the shuffle of a mediocre 10 song album made a lot of bands shine brighter than more seasoned groups with LPs out this year. Here's what stood out the most for me. 1. [...]

Never let it be said that Richmond never has any good shows going on. And when it rains, it pours apparently. Not only will Switchfoot and Airborne Toxic Event be performing tonight , there are even more shows to check out. First up, Cotton Jones makes his way to the Camel and this promises to be full of some of the best folk-infused indie pop I've heard recently. After listening to his latest releases "Tall Hours in the Glowstream" and "Sit By Your Vegetables," I've been hooked on singer Michael Nau's [...]

Being sick is terrible. I've been fighting something nasty since Tuesday. Luckily the worst was out of the way fast - after recording a 101 degree temperature Tuesday night, the fever subsided and I've slowly returned to a state that's manageable. I was still a bit stuffed up on the 25th, but by 10pm all that was left was sniffling and the occasional cough - my regular voice was back. On November 25, I decided to do something a little different. Not only would I tell a few stories about [...]
Here is a little playlist of what I am listening to right now. I know it is all over the map but try and give them all a chance. Again, sorry for the slacking but at least I haven't given up completely. 1. Sonny & The Sunsets - Teenge Thugs 2. Yellow Ostrich - Til' I Disappear 3. Cotton Jones - Gone The Bells (Daytrotter Session) [...]

So, we're getting swamped with buckets of water here on the East Coast. It's usually pretty easy to get bummed out when ample amounts of rain encroach on your daily or weekly activities. To counteract that inevitable feeling, I've decided to take this H2O-drenched month in stride and whip up a playlist to brighten my otherwise dreary and damp days with uplifting rain-related tunes. Who says the barometric pressure needs to define your mood for the day?! These 5 tracks are here to hopefully warm you up. [...]
Wow, what an incredible day out at Mount Robson. If you have never been there, I really can't explain how amazing it is. Maybe the above picture can do it a bit of justice...but just a bit. Here are a few songs that made the day a little bit better. Free mp3: Patrick Wolf - The City Free mp3: Cotton Jones - Wax Hand Asleep in a Glove [...]
I have a feeling this is going to be a solid weekend filled with packing, bbq'ing and enjoying the last of mountain life (not that the Coastal Mountain Range isn't good, it's just not the Rockies...sorry). Here's what will be playing. Free mp3: Deer Tick - Smoke Off Free mp3: The Keys - The Colour Red Free mp3: Big Deal - Chairs [...]
If you haven't heard the buzzing or been paying attention to the internet for the last couple of days, Cotton Jones (Michael Nau and Whitney McGraw) went to Rock Island and recorded an unbelievable Daytrotter session. It's a biggie, too. If you play your cards right, this session should propel your Friday right past your first coffee break and lead right into your mid morning nap. We're big fans of the Marylanders and think that you should be too. Trust us on this one. Get Cotton Jones Daytrotter session free here and peep the [...]
Click image to download full album Sounds like: Devendra Banhart, Fleet Foxes, Cotton Jones "Gold Leaves - The Ornament" What's so good? Gold Leaves is a beautiful new creation by Seattle-based singer/songwriter Grant Olsen (of Arthur & Yu fame). Their new full-length, The Ornament , dropped this week, and I recommend you pick yourself up a copy. This album is so easy to get [...]
Phew...happy to be home but also pretty excited that we will be packing up our belongings and moving to Vancouver in the very near future.

Cotton Jones - Somehow To Keep It Going 3. Matthew and the Atlas [...]

Black Mountain ::: photo by Josh Lovseth For me, large music festivals are great for two reasons: I see local favorites on gigantic stages and I get to discover new non-local bands I probably wouldn't ever see outside of a festival setting. And as thrilling as it was to see The Head and The Heart on [...]
Fitz and the Tantrums ::: photo by Josh Lovseth It appears that we have collectively left our brains somewhere East of the mountains and while we're awaiting their return from Ellensburg, we thought it was time we shared some daily photos from Sasquatch. You can see all of our photos from Day Three on our Flickr, [...]
Click image to download track Sounds like: Sonny and the Sunsets, The Cave Singers "Cotton Jones - Blood Red Sentimenal Blues" What's so good? I used to sing when I was a kid, and the big joke our director would throw at us was, "Hit your notes straight on! I don't want to hear any of that couuuuntry music dip!" Then he'd demonstrate and we'd [...]
