Remember how great the baseball loving Steve Earle was at the Barrymore Theatre recently? I realize the year is young, but thus far it was definitely the show of the year for me.

Video: The Avett Brothers – “Paranoia In B Flat Major”

Last weekend was rather lazy/relaxing for us here at MoB HQ. Plenty of time to spin our collection of records from The Avett Brothers and devour their live performances via youtube. Below is the official video from last year’s fantastic and MoB approved Emotionalism:
The Avett Brothers – “Paranoia In B Flat Major”

The Explorers Club :: Freedom Wind

Did it really snow yesterday? I’m so done with that shit. Time for sunny skies, vodka spiked fruit juice, and harmony infused music. Have you heard the new record from The Beach Boys The Explorers Club called Freedom Wind?
The album starts out with staggering similarities to The Beach Boys before yielding to [...]

Review: Blueheels – Majestic Theatre, Madison

Last night was a long time coming. I’d been bombarded by friends and complete strangers about the greatness that is the Blueheels. Alas, our paths never crossed in person until last night at the Majestic Theatre for the band’s release party for Lessons In Sunday Driving.
The crowd was filled up with die hard [...]

Review: Ladyhawk – Club 770, Madison

We were still nursing our SXSW inflicted wounds the last time Ladyhawk swung through town to play the High Noon Saloon. Prior to that we caught the group at the same venue behind their self-titled and MoB approved record, cementing the bands as one of our favorites both on record and in a live [...]

Can we talk about the draft? Brian Brohm is a Packer!

I tend to keep a narrow focus on this site, but watching the Green Bay Packers draft Brian Brohm (QB, Louisville) in the second round just about made my day. With Favre retired and Rogers durability questionable, I have to say that I’m glad the Packers didn’t pass up the opportunity to get an [...]

Madison Concert Announcement: Lyle Lovett

A few years back I wondered into a Lyle Lovett concert at the Crystal Grand Theatre in Wisconsin Dells knowing only a sliver of his catalog. For over an hour I sat by myself in the balcony, instantly won over, hoping that I’d one day have another opportunity to see such a performance.
Lucky for [...]

I set my alarm clock to catch the performance below live, fully realizing that it was pre-recorded and that it would be waiting for me on the internet upon waking today – I’m just that big of a fan of these guys. Since we already showed you their first performance on Conan O’Brien (“Creep”) [...]
