Damien Jurado is on of my favorite songwriters. His ability to capture moments in songs is simply incredible, not many people can do what he does, and do it so well. His upcoming album caught me completely by surprise, as I didn’t even realize there was a new one in the works. I was checking [...]

Scarlett in new Dylan video
I’m a Bob Dylan fan, but I’m a Scarlett Johansson lover. I think Dylan’s new album is fantastic, but I like his new video a whole lot more as it stars the aforementioned beauty.
Check out Bob’s video for “When The Deal Goes Down” right here, and let me know what you think.
Meet The Bloggers
Rachael from the Underrated Magazine was kind enough to include me on a piece she did called Meet The Bloggers for Breakthru Radio.
Make sure to check it out.
In a box made of pine lays the sweet love of mine.
There are a ton of great albums that come out today, plenty of good choices that will make you very happy for the rest of the year, and perhaps even longer. One release that may not appear on your radar, but very well should be is Song of the Blackbird by William Elliott Whitmore. Once [...]
Words Are Dead
Horse Feathers are a band that could fit nicely on a tour alongside Iron & Wine or Calexico. I really enjoy their recent release, Words Are Dead, in fact, I’ve liked it so much I’ve played it twice this morning. The masterwork of one Justin Ringle, whose open mic moniker Horse Feathers lead [...]
Sorry, Ari
Anybody catch the season finale of Entourage last night? Let me hear your thoughts/predictions, I know you got ‘em.
Chicago concert announcement.
Art Brut and We Are Scientists will co-headline a show at the Metro on October 12th.
I’d like to start including Chicago in the territory that we report on here, so you will also start to see some Chicago dates/reviews/announcements as well. If anyone would be interested in covering shows and reviews in the Chicago area, [...]

Happy 39th
Jeff Tweedy of Wilco turned 39 yesterday. If you didn’t already know the name of this site was taken from a Wilco song. Wilco has a new album in the works and they’ve been debuting a lot of the new songs on their recent tours. I’ve posted some live tracks for your enjoyment below, some [...]

Foo Fighters open for Dylan in Madison
Bob Dylan brings his old and tired voice to Madison on Halloween at the Kohl Center. Hopefully he’ll play some songs off his upcoming record, and the show won’t resemble in any way the show I saw him play in Milwaukee about 7 years ago. That show is still up there as worst I’ve ever [...]

The Body, The Blood, The Machine
A lot of people have been telling me to check out The Thermals, but I didn’t really check them out until I got a chance to read the Pitchfork review yesterday [8.5] and my friend Joe telling me that it’s been kicking his ass all morning. The band hails from Portland, Oregon and is signed [...]
Back at it.
I’m back from my trip to Las Vegas and Utah with money still in my pocket and a bunch of new adventures to still file away to memory. It was a nice break away from the norm, but I’m happy to be back in the swing of things here in Wisconsin. I’d like to thank [...]
Nature of the experiment
Tokyo Police Club have an upcoming album and tour on the way. I could not stop listening to their EP from earlier this year, A Lesson In Crime, so I’m expecting good things from the upcoming 7 song offering.
The band has been kind enough to provide us with an MP3, so check that out and [...]
Nees and Vos
We can’t stop listening to Nees and Vos. While they are working on their upcoming debut album, you’re going to have to settle for the songs on their myspace site. Sharp horns and searing guitars make this an album one to look forward to.
