I’d forgotten about my adoration for Seabear until Matt at You Ain’t No Picasso rekindled my interest in the recently released The Ghost That Carried Us Away on Morr Music.
If you’re looking for a record to get you through the upcoming change in weather, this would be a fine suggestion.

Professional, jovial, talkative; three words I doubted I’d be using to describe last night’s Grateful Dead Ryan Adams concert at the Barrymore Theatre. After hearing mixed [...]

Review: Mason Jennings @ The High Noon Saloon
The last time I saw Mason Jennings he was with his band and pulled out a surprising, but fantastic cover of Neutral Milk Hotel’s “King of Carrot Flowers, Pt. 1.” Last night, playing solo at the High Noon Saloon, he treated the nearly sold-out crowd to a mixture of past and present, highlighted by [...]
Madison Concert Announcement: Lee Bob Watson
Lee Bob Watson is playing a $5 show at Cafe Montmartre on Tuesday, October 9th. We’ve had his brand new album Aficionado! on heavy rotation here at MoB HQ since we first got word of him from our blog brethren Aquarium Drunkard.
If you’re looking for a great country-tinged album with an underlying hint [...]
5 Questions with Jennifer O’Connor
Now that we’re a little less than a month away from Jennifer O’Connor’s upcoming show at Cafe Montmartre on Sunday, October 21st, we thought we would check in with her for our continuing 5 Questions with Muzzle of Bees feature. We highly recommend the upcoming show and also picking up a copy of Over [...]
Pabst Theater adds Turner Hall
Well, it’s official, today the Pabst Theater announced the managing of Turner Hall. We’ve made many trips to Milwaukee to see some of our favorite concerts in the state and now the Pabst boasts another beautiful and historic site under its management:
Pabst Theater… beautiful, historic venue
Riverside Theater… beautiful, historic venue
Turner Ballroom… ahem, you guessed [...]
Review: Ferraby Lionheart / The Brunettes
Walking into the High Noon Saloon last night I was excited for what promised to be a great double bill featuring Ferraby Lionheart and The Brunettes. Initially, I was disappointed to find so few in attendance especially for Ferraby, those that did show up got more than their money’s worth in what will probably [...]
The Cave Singers : Invitation Songs
The Cave Singers released Invitation Songs on Matador Records yesterday. We’re just cycling through our second listen, but have to admit that hindsight will tell us it was probably deserving of a Tuesday’s Gold stamp. With a name like the Cave Singers you may expect vocals that resemble Jim James – notsomuch. [...]
Andrew Bird To Open For Wilco In Milwaukee
Thanks to reader Brady and Reveille Magazine for informing us that Andrew Bird has been tapped as the opening act for Wilco’s upcoming show at the Eagles Ballroom on Tuesday, October 9th.
Since both acts have been through Madison in the past two weeks it’s kind of hard to get excited about the show, especially with [...]

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings : 100 Days, 100 Nights
With the release of 100 Days, 100 Nights, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings continue to revitalize soul music in the mainstream. We got to know Sharon when she released Naturally in 2005, and since that time her records have provided the soundtrack to many cocktail hours and summer barbecues.
If you’re looking for [...]

MP3: Midlake – “Roscoe” (Acoustic)
Midlake released The Trials of Van Occupanther to wide, and well-deserved praise last year. It made the second cut as one of our favorite records of last year, and has made a resurgence recently, thanks, in part, to the four song radio only release Oak & Julian, which features our favorite track “Roscoe” done [...]
Review: The National & St. Vincent @ The Pabst
Against a beautiful backdrop and amongst a capacity crowd at the Pabst Theater, St. Vincent quietly took the stage last night opening for The National. We’ve seen Annie Clark before as part of the Polyphonic Spree and with Sufjan Stevens, but last night was her night to shine. Saying we were impressed by [...]
Review: Andrew Bird at Union Theater (9/20/07)
Pat yourselves on the back Madison, Andrew Bird no longer has to play “shit” venues in the city (hey, he said it) thanks to your support. Certainly half-joking, Andrew made his relief known that he was excited to be playing a venue sans broken bottles, loud conversations and stolen equipment. I can vouch [...]

Will Oldham :: Guarrpero: Lost Blues 2
Guarrpero: Lost Blues 2 was the first album I ever owned by Will Oldham aka Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy. I bought it some years ago perusing the bargain bin at Atomic Records. At the time of my $4 purchase, I wasn’t aware I was getting a compilation of all sorts of singles, live cuts, [...]

Alright all you whistle loving music fans, the upcoming Andrew Bird show at Union Theater is almost upon us (tomorrow), which caused us to dig through the archives and remember just how good Andrew has been to Wisconsin.
