Review: The Black Crowes – LC Pavilion (Columbus, OH)
By Jeff Kollath Nostalgia is one hell of a word. It basically means a “yearning for the past,” which in and of itself can be an unpleasant. Things are never what they used to be, and nostalgia pretty much assumes that the past was better than today. When it comes to bands, however, nostalgia can [...]

Our friends at Yours Truly captured the beautiful video above, a cover of Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s “My Journey to the Sky.” Seriously, this is stunning. Previously: [...]
Lollapalooza: Day 3
By Jon Stone | @jwstone Lollapalooza 2010 is in the bag. I’m a tired man, but had a blast. The festival is a strange musical animal—so much to do and see, it almost starts to feel like a banquet with way more great food than you could/should safely consume in one setting. Yet we munch [...]
