Anyone remember when Jack Johnson started out? He had so much to say musically that it was really inspiring. Hey, speaking of which; do you remember Dave Matthew’s first couple albums? Now those were some great tunes. So what have Jack and Dave been up to lately? Oh, that’s right. They’ve been pandering to the [...]

Midlake

May 29th, 2005 by Matt

I’d imagine that it would come as no surprise to you all to learn that I really love Radiohead. The Flaming Lips too. So imagine my delight when I finally ran across Midlake. Justin from Texas says that they probably had the album of the year last year…and I usually tend to trust people named [...]

A Musical Ode to Online Stalking

May 29th, 2005 by Matt

May 28th, 2005 by Matt

So the Athens Popfest lineup looks really promising. Of Montreal and Circulatory System alone are probably worth the $45 price tag for this five day event. However, what interests me the most is the promise of the “surprise guests.” The promoters have said that it’ll sell out almost instantly when the guests are announced. Since [...]

Belle and Sebastian Bootleg – 3/4/03

May 27th, 2005 by Matt

Of all the bootlegs that I’ve posted on here, none has received quite the outpour of excitement that the B&S Peel Christmas party did. So if you guys thought hearing the lads cover Christmas tunes in a light-hearted manner was cool, wait until you hear this one. The sound quality is so good on this [...]
