So. All the tickets surrounding the NFF are sold out. Conor Oberst’s solo concert in Newport went out in three hours – I didn’t even have time to drive down. Everything else that’s remotely related is gone, sold out, etc. etc. no more cookies left in the jar.Except this one: Wilco on Fri.Now we’re guessing, what, with a brilliant new Wilco album out (finally! only waited like 10 years) there’s still some standing room to catch these guys? So previous NFF years have been at the Tennis Hall of Fame (which was AWESOME, just so nice), and we’re guessing there’s a ton more seating forRead More →

Okay, so we don’t exactly have the album here. But allow us to introduce you to this website: NoiseTrade. We kinda like it on both fronts: helps smaller artists get out there, and helps you (the listeners) find them. For free. And if you like it and can afford a tip, more power to ya. So then, Ivan and Alyosha have their debut full-length coming out later this year. (We’re still dying to confirm a review on it, so fingers crossed.) In the meantime, head up to that website, and they’ll throw an I + A sampler at you, “The Cabin Sessions.” While you waitRead More →

Hey y’all. So: http://seergroup.bandcamp.com/album/owlpine Now to bring you up to speed: Seer Group, aka, our friends behind the Boston-ish Grinding Tapes label, has put together a full-length of their own devious doing. Disclosure here’s that we personally know much of the crew involved on this one, second thing is that this one certainly took a heck of a long time to put together, and was certainly effort that paid off. We think so, anyway. So why are we throwing up this link to a space-trippy, pop turbo-charged album that came out a couple months ago? Well, ’cause we want you guys to keep open thatRead More →

Well. We’re not going to lie and say that Amy had a bigger crowd than Rich Robinson, the main act last Thursday. But we are going to say that her trio (Shawn Zorn d., David Cousar g.) certainly deserved one. Our gal in Memphis felt the love in the dingy TT The Bear’s, and armed with her repaired acoustic bass (plus stickers of Johnny Cash, a cartoon), the diminutive bassist + two conjured a mood perhaps more fitting for a slightly cleaner basement bar; judging on the dark color of their songs, plus the knit, almost jazzy vibe between the three, we’re going to presumeRead More →
