My favorite "local" artist, Courtney Tidwell has a new project out with Lambchop's Kurt Wagner, which they've called KORT. Nashville has so much musical history that I am pretty oblivious to. This record features songs off of Chart Records, which was an up and coming Nashville label in it's ...

I have this instrumental mix that I compiled about a year ago as sort of a retro-funk-lounge throwback compiled from my ever expanding catalog of musical oddities. I thought it was good enough that it was worth posting. There are some real gems on here. No vocals ...

1. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz
Listenable from start to end. They have finally achieved their full potential.
2. Viva Voce - Rose City
A great guitar album. Catchy, with just the right amount of loud.

One of my favorite Norwegian's (yes, I am biased) returns to ...

La Blogotheque has another take away show out, this one featuring Phoenix, which put out one of the best albums of the last year. If you haven't gotten it yet, you should. Enough said...

From the Valerie Collective comes another release from one of their members, Fear of Tigers. Another terrific neo-80s electronic wash of sound. The best part, of course is that it is free. I highly recommend giving this one a go. I've been digging some of the ...

Discovered this today. Looks like a promising film about one of my favorite bands of all time. While Oasis managed to churn out the same album every few years under different packaging, blur were constantly reinventing themselves, and I'd argue that they were the most important band to come ...
