Thanks to Chris for tipping us to the fact that Jose Gonzalez has posted two songs from his upcoming album, In Our Nature on his myspace site.
Jose talked with us about the new album in our video 5 Questions w/MoB back in May, but hearing truly is believing. Take a listen for yourself, but I’ll [...]

Artist: Common

Label: Universal

MoB: When Common released Be in 2005, it gave me hope that he’d never release anything like the Electric Circus again. [...]
How Are Things On The West Coast?
Tonight I’m going to “Rest My Chemistry” with Interpol in Milwaukee. I’ll admit that I probably enjoy Our Love To Admire a little more than everyone else apparently does.
Check out the video below for “The Heinrich Maneuver,” whose lyrics have been embedded in my brain for the last 48 hours.
Myspace: Interpol
This Week: Concerts We Recommed
Here are the Wisconsin shows we recommend you take in this week. Check them out below and let us know which ones you’ll be attending or ones you think should really make our list.
7/30 – The Fratellis – Pabst Theater, Milwaukee
7/30 – Interpol – The Rave, Milwaukee
7/31 – Lucinda Williams/Charlie Louvin – Pabst Theater, [...]
Rocky Votolato – The Brag & Cuss
I got to know Rocky Votolato’s material pretty well while he was opening for Lucero on one of their more recent tours. I wasn’t initially interested, or perhaps aware is a more accurate statement, but he won me over when he came out on harmonica to join Ben Nichols for a few tunes in [...]
Ben Nichols & Cory Branan – Mini Tour
There are very few bands I’ve talked about on this site as much as I’ve talked about Lucero. They’re also the one band, above all others, who I’ve campaigned for countless times to play a show here in Madison (we’re working on it). That being said, there’s some really interesting news about a [...]
Update: Joanna Newsom in MKE w/28 PIECE ORCHESTRA
Last night I posted that Joanna Newsom would be playing the Pabst Theater on Sunday, October 21st.
Well, it has just been brought to my attention that the show will include Joanna backed by a 28 PIECE ORCHESTRA for the performance. This one should bring all types out to the show. Hipsters bring your [...]
Homegrown: Bon Iver – For Emma, Forever Ago
I came to know Justin Vernon aka Bon Iver while slightly drunk and in the front row of The Rosebuds blistering Hot Freaks set at SXSW. It was during said performance that Rosebuds front man Ivan Howard introduced Justin (then holding down guitar duties for the band) as a native of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. [...]
Milwaukee Concert Announcement: Joanna Newsom
The Pabst Theater continues to bring quality live performances to Milwaukee with the recent addition of Joanna Newsom to their calendar on Sunday, October 21st.
Remember when Joanna played UW’s Great Hall? Good Times!
Also:
10/20 – The Raveonettes – Mad Planet, Milwaukee
The National on Letterman – July 24, 2007
MoB favorites The National tore it up on Letterman this week, bringing the horns along for good measure. Dave even lets Matt touch the Super Bowl Trophy at the end.
“It’s hard to keep track of you falling from the sky…”
Myspace: The National
MP3: The National – Fake Empire
Video: The National – Mistaken For Strangers
Madison Concert Announcement: The One AM Radio
If you missed The One AM Radio the last time we helped bring them to Cafe Montmartre, then you don’t want to miss their return to Madison on Sunday, August 26th this time at the Annex in support of Terra Diablo.
Myspace: The One AM Rado
MP3: The One AM Radio – Lest I Forget
MP3: The One [...]
Death Ships: Seeds Of Devastation
When I saw that Death Ships would be playing the High Noon Saloon on Monday, August 13th, I scratched my head and tried to remember where I had heard of them before.
It took me a few minutes, then I scanned my ipod and found their Daytrotter session from April of this year and everything came [...]
Pitchfork Music Festival: Fujiya & Miyagi
We’ll still be occasionally dropping in from time to time, and in no hurry, to bring you some brief recaps and highlights from the Pitchfork Music Festival. I know it already seems so long ago, and Lollapalooza is right around the corner, but we’re still coasting on high from the festival weekend in Chicago.
It’s [...]
Madison Concert Announcement: Mason Jennings
Everyone, myself included, thought that Mason Jennings would enjoy a much more widespread fan base when he released Boneclouds on Issac Brock’s Glacial Pace subsidiary of Sony Music.
Whether or not that’s the case, I was excited to see Mason will be performing a special solo acoustic show at the High Noon Saloon on Thursday, September [...]
Bat For Lashes: Fur & Gold
Natasha Khan aka Bat For Lashes has quite the voice and she isn’t afraid to let it shine on her debut album and mercury prize nominated Fur and Gold, due out next week on July 31st. Thom Yorke recently listed the track “Horse & I” as one of his current favorites saying, “love the [...]
Madison Concert Announcement: Drive By Truckers
The Drive By Truckers bring their act to the Barrymore Theatre with the addition of Spooner Oldham and sans Jason Isbell on Saturday, October 20th.
Isbell was our favorite of the group, and thought he helped the band pen some of their best songs to date, but he’s on to bigger things with his [...]
Tuesday’s Gold: What We Recommend #19

MP3: Tegan and Sara – I Know I [...]
We Like: Iron & Wine – The Shepherd’s Dog
As Ryan hinted at in his review of Iron & Wine’s recent performance at Pitchfork, The Shepherd’s Dog is on constant MoB rotation. Sam Beam’s catalog is already full of albums that I’ve worn through. Also, we are referring to him now as “the bearded one.” If you aren’t familiar with [...]
St. Vincent opens for The National @ The Pabst
We recommended that you pick up St. Vincent’s beautiful debut Marry Me a couple weeks ago, and the smart ones amongst you did and will be excited to learn that she will be opening for the National in Milwaukee for their September 21st show at the Pabst Theater!
