How do you fit an upright bass, an ancient pump organ, and a set of crotales in a tiny room? Whiskey. Observe. Watch the full concert at baeblemusic.com

OK, back in music hosting mode, finally. Thanks for bearing with me. There's few comparisons with the music of Sam Beam. His sound is entrenched in hypnotic pulses of acoustic guitar and often highlighted by the perfectly dissonant harmonies that create a lush and somnabulent listening experience. Here, Sam brings a mostly solo set to a great climax, resulting in a nice session from The Social in Orlando, Florida. Enjoy! Iron and Wine @ The Social - Orlando, [...]

No one will deny that Will Oldham is an acquired taste. No one. After a few years of listening, and then a lot more listening, the music of the man who became Bonnie 'Prince' Billy has planted it's seed in a deep, dark portion of my brain. I'm gonna have a hard time digging that out someday. Or better yet, I'll just let it grow some more. Here's his most recent collaboration, this time with musician/artists/ersat Super High 8 filmmaker, Brian Harnetty, with a cover of Cat Stevens' "Sleeping In The Driveway" [...]
YouTube - She Thinks I Still Care - A Tribute to George Jones A Cover Song performed by Phish, sung by Mike Gordon, March 8th, 2009
I remember the first time I got this show on tape. It was in high school, 1994, and the tapes probably cost 8 or 9 dollars from this mom and pop store in the city. The shop owner, an old deadhead, would get these n-th generation tapes from his buddy, and sell them in his shop. Well, this one actually sounded pretty good compared to most, and since the dude let me listen to whatever I wanted to, I sort of weeded out the shitty sounding ones before I plunked down the cash. The [...]

"We have all the time in the world, to get it right..." The Frames... what to say. In a long, slow, dramatic history between myself and this band, our relationship has blossomed into something that is well beyond the standard. The feeling and emotion that is conveyed through their music is so overpowering and universal. It envelopes the listener, delivering a beautiful product that transcends and transforms. I don't like to be without them. So today, I offer up a show from Dublin, their hometown. While [...]

"I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get? Hank Williams hasn't answered yet But I hear him coughing all night long A hundred floors above me In the tower of song" - L. Cohen So let me start this off by saying that I don't actively listen to Leonard Cohen . But when I sat down to listen to his show broadcast by NPR's All Songs Considered on Friday, I was smitten with his contrasting images of dark and light, love and loss, heartbreak an [...]
Bonnie Prince Billy - Grand Dark Feeling of Emptiness.mp3

a.k.a. you can't keep a good hippie down! a.k.a. think whatever you'd like of the band, but Phish is solely responsible for my happy musical addiction. I remember getting back from a long summer break to UMass in September of 1999. I had seen a couple of Phish shows that summer and had put a ton of miles on my red subaru. I couldn't kill that thing. Arriving back at the dorms was a welcome change and signaled the beginning of a new fall [...]
