not sure how i found found nick shattell's not an airplane , but i did back in 2009 and i "wrote" about it. either way, i have been a fan since i first heard him and could not be more excited about the double lp that is, hopefully, coming later this year. nick was nice enough to sit down and pound out something for this here place. "get up & go" is the first song off of the new record, btw. not an airplane site not an airplane twitter [...]
i have not run across a record so difficult to pin down or explain than the bohannons' debut record, days of echo . its not a metal record, but it kinda is, its not a southern rock influenced record, but it kinda is, and its definitely not an alt-country, whatever that is, record, but it kinda is. from what i hear though, they are straight metal, but i am not too sure about that. its like lead singer marty bohannon channels geddy lee fronting some weirder band than rush, minus the bass solos, thank goodness. when brother [...]
wow, someone actually agreed to do a "tell me something" for the second time! that man is roadside graves frontman and all around awesome dude, john gleason. the first time he participated in this, he was talking about their most recent, and my favorite record of 09, my sons home . this time around he's talking bout comics, and his love of em which honestly is quite fascinating. besides his love of comics, he loves music as well, and it most definitely shows in the releases of the band he fronts. their most recent, we cant take care [...]
i believe when i wrote about vulture whales recently released long time listener, first time caller i alluded to the fact that i felt that they, as a band, recorded that record for them, not you dear listener. actually, i think i said that there was nothing about said record that came across as giving a fuck what you think. i may be wrong, and i am too lazy to go back and read what i actually wrote. well, apparently that attitude doesnt just stop on record cause lead vulture wes mcdonald has a very interesting [...]
4 years ago, i somehow stumbled upon the everybodyfields' nothing is okay . my first listen of said record didnt yield much feeling, or actually too much enthusiasm, if im being completely honest. yet, there was something about it that kept me coming back to it. first it would be weekly, then every other day, then every day, then a few times a day. it got my under my skin like no record had done in probably at least 15 years. im not really here to talk about that record, but its a heartbreakingly beautiful piece of music. everyone [...]
im not sure when i started paying attention to who produced or engineered certain records, but im guessing it was sometime in the early 902s. actually strike that, i know exactly when i started paying attention or i guess maybe took the time to check who was working their magic. it was 1993 and i was listening to dinosaur jr's where ya been on my hifi but with some old school pair of headphones, which were freakin huge, or at least how i remember em. regardless, the way the timpani's sounded as they closed out the song, i [...]
photo by black wilkins jason isbell is almost three records removed from his drive by truckers work and i dont envy him. he produced some of the greatest songs of the last 10-20 years (imo) and if he had never joined the band, there would be no history and no comparing this work with that work. still, i am sure that a man this good lives with weighty expectations - not only of himself, but perhaps those of fans and critics. im sure the last two are the least of his worries, but to quote [...]
photo by don vancleave i came to know courtney jaye and her record the exotic sounds of... sometime last year, and it ended up in my top 20 records of 2010 - number 16 to be exact. there's something immediately gratifying about her music, whether its her songwriting, voice, the music, etc but it has the ability to whisk you to another place and time, which is a definite feat in my opinion. this is not just a fleeting, first time listen type of feeling either. every time i listen to it, i always feel in [...]
the name, or the man, john p. strohm may not necessarily ring a bell, but the man, in my world, is legendary. he started off playing drums in punk bands in his hometown of bloomington, in - a town i still want to get to one day, then after moving to boston he played guitar in the much beloved blake babies w/ juliana hatfield. the first time i heard their 89 release earwig was in high school, and while i was still into really horrible metal at the time, i would put it up there dinosaur jr's [...]
adam and his advising uncle its been a bit, and i really need to try and get more artists for this "feature" but, not surprisingly, i am really bad at following up with folks. this edition of "tell me something..." features london's the tailors and their front man, adam killip. their upcoming release for trash aesthetics is due out 11.30 and they have decided to call it, come dig me up . i have spent the better part of a couple months with said record, and its probably the growiest record of the [...]
i've been listening to jason heath and the greedy soul's the vain hope of horse since about march, and much like the bombadil record there's a heck of alot more going on then initially meets the ears. musically its a very nice piece of americana fare w/ nels cline and wayne kramer helping out on a few tracks, but lyrically is where the record really shines. its a pretty politically charged record, but you wouldnt know it if you really didnt listen to what heath was laying down cause the [...]
photo by melissa madison fuller i have been sitting on this "tell me something" for about a month now. as the title alludes to, it features bryan rahija of the durham, nc band, bombadil , and their most excellent record, tarpits and canyonlands . the first time i listened to said record, i fell in supreme like with it, but in all honesty i didnt really listen to it, it was more like background noise. it worked in perfect harmony with whatever it is was i was doing at the time, probably having [...]
i wish, truly, that i had time for interviews, and in depth reviews, but as i have complained about in the past, i just dont have the time. so, i got to thinking. what kind of feature could i come up with that would that would take zero effort on my part, but absolutely inconvenience the artist? after a few beers, and some internal brainstorming, i decided that i would ask perspective artists to tell me about something. whether it be about their record, tales from the road, a sad tale about the puppy they didn't get when they were [...]
