Yesterday two bands I love released new albums: The Dutchess & The Duke with their second album, Sunset / Sunrise, and the Black Heart Procession with their sixth album, Six.
It’s too bad the BHP isn’t playing Colorado on their tour, but hey, Dutchess and the Duke are. Yup.
Also, hey, you can listen to one of [...]
Inspired by Matt Waite, and the two-cd mix I made before the 2004 elections (one mix for if Bush one, and one for if Kerry), this is the list of five songs I might play when I get home from work tomorrow night.
The Beach Boys – Lets go away for a while
The Mountain Goats – [...]
bacon. I’ve been using that word a lot this week. This month. Yeah, really, this year. This week the new band I’m in, The Bacon Lobby, released our first song and music video. It’s called Bacon Man, and it’s about Obama. Sometimes we call it Obama Bacon Man. It goes “O–bama bacon man, make it [...]
It’s 2008, and I don’t love Okkervil River in the way I loved them five years ago. But, still, this band. When I first read their lyrics, posted in plain text, I went from infatuation to love. Their words look like stories, not like songs crafted to fit some sort of A A B A [...]
Last year I went to my first DPUMS (Denver Post Underground Music Showcase). Had a great time and saw tons of music I wouldn’t have otherwise seen. It’s a browser’s market — with so many venues so close together you can keep walking until you find something you like. Okay, sure, this may look like [...]
I just added a bunch of stuff on the sidebar — links and things to the other places I inhabit on these internets. Here’s a rundown:

My friend JJ got me a book a couple months age — it’s the 33 1/3 “How-This-Record-Came-Into-Existence” series’ book on Born in the USA. Bruce Springsteen and I go back — I was eight years old, with my mom and my sister in a K-Mart, and we were in the music section. My mom gave [...]
New Year’s Eve I witnissed a dj spin to a crowd of 50 people, and zero dancers. Not just zero for a song or two, but zero for most every song. I like putting myself in my enemy’s head, so here’s a list of the four things I came up with that dj could have [...]
Salina I’m as nowhere as I can be / would you add some somewhere to me, aww Kansas I’m kneeling, aw Kansas please.
Cleveland I ain’t never felt something so strong / been believing the words to my songs, Ohio I’m leaving, Ohio I’m gone.

Poughkeepsie hang up the telephone / I won’t answer your phone [...]

Get the mp3 here, and read the entry about it and others here. Hurry!
