Bettcha Haven't heard this

Brandi Carilie

2005-09-30T18:02:00.000-04:00

Was checking out some of the CD's of 2005 and stumbled onto Brandi carlile and i'm glad i did. Great vocals and lyrics get me and she's got the gift of writing!

"The best thing about Brandi Carlile is that it not only doesn't sound like a debut, it sounds like a record that exists out of time and place — which means it's not only a superb debut, it's a hell of a record by any measure. "

I agree

Scope out her website and see what you think Brandi carlile

The first game will be at 6:15 between Siming Drilling vs Indorphen We got next game at 7:15 vs One of these mofoes and then the other one at 8:15... Its going to be exciting down at the REC Friday F'in NITE ... You Bettcha Ass The beers will be flowin and The Cook straight rollin hot dogs up inbetween sour dough buns, Man Friday can be a real fun night if we come out and pull this ROUND ROBIN OUT, But first we gotta come down Straight to the field and take care of some business and have a good time, Scoring runs like they were fun, not sure if i mentioned it, The team with the most RUNS will be Awarded the ROOUND ROBIN Trophy IF all three teams are Tied in WINS.... Now Its been awhile since our last game, def gotta be a bit tight, What do you think about meeting up at the field at 6ish try to find a field for some batting practice and throw the ball around the field a bit, there should be a open field somewhere at Rec... So its Settled 6 it is, make it!~ Alrighty i'm off to go watch film and Practise my Knuckler out in the back yard!

Bettcha
Trent Dabbs just recently played the Bonnaroo Music Festival which i was lucky enough to attend as well, the trouble is i really wanted to catch him play and i missed it! But luckly you won't miss out on hearing some of his very good tunes, his website has a few selections to chose from, i wanna pick up his CD but lack of funds at the moment are holding me back but if anyone does grab it let me know how your feeling it......... Scope the Site at www.trentdabbs.com

Bonnaroo

2005-06-14T13:03:00.000-04:00

Just getting back froma crazy 5 days and i can say i'm glad to be back, living like a dirty hippy is not my style... But all and all it was a good trip, got to see some amazing shows and my man Josh ritter kicked it off on Friday with a great one, best show all weekend i would say would have to be My Morning Jacket, If you have not heard of this band yet, really really take a look into them they are rocking, the band also puts on one of the best live shows going right now, so check them out late JUne up in North Hampton if you can or anyplace around your location... Wanna send out shout outs to my Buddy Will for inviting me to go and My two Buddies from Minnosota Rick and Chris were down to party and thats just what we did, had a real good time with you guys and like you say, " We'll always have Misty" haha... Now i'm ready to crash for a few days so when i get back with it i'll get back with this, until then, Let those Guitars Play......

The Arcade FIre

2005-06-07T16:23:00.000-04:00

For those of you out there in the inner cirlce of The Indie rock scene and maybe even a few of you wanna be's out there,,, i know you already know about The Arcade Fire and their huge debue release "Funeral" an expermental Album that kicked some serious ass after giving it an honest shot, It took me awhile to finally warm up to this album i don't really know why, prolly lack of time to actually get into it and give it the time it needed to kick around in my head for awhile, These kids put together one very interesting CD and i can't wait to see them live someday, They are known to put on one great great show! So yes i know i'm late on this album but better late then never i guess, The whole CD is worth a few listens , its one of those CD's that is soo much better if you listen to the whole thing just sit down and let it play let it marinate in your head for awhile and soon when you put it on you'll be shocked about how kick ass this album is! Def needs a few listens too, or you could read the words....... I'll admit the first time i listened to it i didn't like it and put it away not to listen to it again for quite some time, but hey maybe i wasn't feeling it back then......Music hits people differently at different stages in their life, just because i like this CD now doesn't mean your going to like it because maybe you can't relate to it, But i can honestly say i still don't really relate tooo much to This CD but when a band puts something together that is really special you need to appreciate it for what it is and i think thats what they have done here with " Funeral" So give the website a looksy and check um out sometime..

Ryan Adams

2005-06-01T23:33:00.000-04:00

I know i know, I thought this was a music site myself, Softball kidnapped me for a sec there, I gotta get back to what this site was MADE FOR, that is some Good Tunes... Now my man Ryan has done it again, If your a fan this CD still might take a few listens too to get use too, its a bit different sounding almost Grateful deadish in some songs but mostly sounding like Whiskeytown and maybe a little heartbreaker, Either way, there are some great tunes on this Double CD that i have really been feeling and i have a feeling its one of those CD's that if you keep listening your going to like more and more songs as time goes by.... Cold Roses is the Name and Americana Music is the Game Ryan who is coming out with a UN heard of 3 Cds this year, Dam i'm ready....... This Cd is def not for all of ya, esp you radio listeners out there, this is a cross between Americana , ALT Country, Country and Def a bit Rock and Roll.... If i didn't already mention it this is a double CD and both have some very good tunes on each, My fave is CD 2 with Dance all night and Let it Ride , Now i thought they were allowing you to stream all the songs on the website but that has been taking down recently But you can hear the first song which is alright right here Follow me

Just Because

2005-05-27T16:58:00.000-04:00

The "Just Because" post is whatever i feel like talking about and since this is my blog i can talk about anything, but i'm cool about it, I really wanna talk about something that is going to help my fellow beings.......... So here we go... Sitting at home in front of the tv one day and it dawned on me... "I've been sitting in front of this box for 2 hours now being lazy and learning nothing and really just wasting away.... Thats when i started to notice it, each time the tv is on i'm drawn to it it pulls me in, why do you think they are everywhere you go now adays, its like i go out at night to get away from it all and what do i have when i go to the bar a room full of TVs and everyone just zones out to it, well not everyone, but the Tv def pulls you in like no other.... Now i want to share some writings with you about the tv...

"Smash your tv and walk away go outside and play a game, Pickup a interesting book and learn something new"
Why do you sit at the TV? Its an escape from your mind (our babbling mind) Its a time where you don't have to think, just sit back and take it in. why not do that with life? just relax and take it all in one moment at a time. But say, you do find something your really into on tv, Fine Enjoy it, thats being... But i'm sure most of the time your just sitting there getting dumber and dumber with each stupid commercial that pounds your head- don't get me wrong tv is alright once in awhile, but shit you know you spend way too much time in front of some piece of glass and plastic with a wire out the back, Now adays its the dish zooming you coutless hours of Commerials, stupid Drama shows, pimp my ride And Raymond "whatta nice guy" .... Come on you live your life through these beings they are all just a diestraction from our finally outcome

Death- we are going to die and be sitting in front of a tv, funny how every hospital has TV's in each room.... Death will be here sooner than you know so go find yourself and do a little learning while your here... And please don't be out for just Money, thats not happyness, but thats another conversation.......

The plastic thing with one big eye is alife... Don't let it consume you... Smash it and go live alone and discover what you love, take a picture of what you see, Make a painting of the sky while you say hi. leave your money behind and start to climb up and over that ridge and see one great view. talk to someone new and actually listen! Ask them how they feel when they look up in the sky, or just go lie outside and find a cloud and watch it disappear and let it be a lesson to you to remind you that nothing is permanent, that all you see all you feel ceases. Carry this on in your life apply it to everyting and life will be a bit smoother,,,, cause now your'll know ... Nothing is permanent everything is constantly changing and remind yourself that you are too! and you'll see why its great to live your dreams and take that chance and make up a new dance, follow your heart and follow your gut feelings telling you to go out and get lost in this crazy world because thats one way to learn... Live Life, love life, understand life is always Ceasing............ thus

2005-04-10T23:43:00.000-04:00

Amazing, just amazing... Just saw JA up in north hampton and it was amazing to say the least.... This man really is doing something special and people will one day catch on, I throught some of his CD's blew my mind, man seeing him live is like a spirtual awaking, He just gets it and is trying to rely the message onto others, its so simple but yet so many people have a hard time understanding, well understanding isn't the right word because understanding makes you think and use your mind and pulls you away, thats exactly what he is trying not to do, Through his music he brings you back to the NOW, he makes you understand that the mind pulls you in so many directions that your really get no where, If you would just wake up to this moment and just SEE, life would be so much more peaceful and suffering would fall away, Life is suffering, but when you awaken and see everything as it is and not make up stuff in your mind about what you think you see , if you could manage to let go of your pulling mind and just see you would be enlightened on the spot.... Interested??

Mainer Weekend

2005-03-29T20:16:00.000-05:00

ANother killer weekend, i told my liver to shut up and drink and i think i left one of my kidneys on the mountain , Whole lotta drinking but a whole lotta love as well:) Had a great time with my good buddy Low low low, Hey lowZon , and met his good pal Greger!~ who i now consider to be a fellow pal as well, can never have too many friends... We hit up the mountain hard on Friday and had a blast, got up there for a half day and got in some good runs, The Real fun came that night, Oh whatta nite, Dancing myself over to some girls room, she invited us in and we blasted down some of her roomys beers and i played on her Virus struck computer.... Can't even get into all the details because they are really just a blur, all i know is I met lindsey and i can care less about the rest, So that night ended with a twist of the shoulder and a stumble to the door with no goodbye... Certain situations you have to let themselves play out and not get involved in, i thought i did a good job that night, i guess steph was right it coulder been a bad scene but i lived to take her out another day:) NExt day, skipped the mountain had breakfast with the crew, you know who you are, The service and beatiful girl sitting next to me were the highlights of that ....... After that we headed back to the ranch and sattled up for our next journey, Few tokes and 4 pichers later we somehow ended up back at Lindseys place, She made a few clutch calls and got us in on a pretty sweet poker game, nice company at the game, but i guess i will never learn my lesson to NOT drink while Playing POKER!!!!! i need to just ram that into my head, I'll brag, I'm a good poker player and damit i shoulda been playing for that pot but i do have one good excuse, There was this girl sitting across from me and i gotta admit she was breaking my concentration, just looking at her sent me off into flowery meadows dancing in the sun with some josh rouse 1972 playin.... So i guess i had that, and that is worth more than any pot of money... Greger took down the Pot!! nice going Buddy!~ If anyone was going to Win that pot i'm glad it was you! I did give him alot of chips to play with, but like i was sayin Drinking and poker do not mix, I took a tough beat but i'm glad it was him i was handing my chips over too..... After that the bar was calling are name, even though i don't remember what happen at the bar, OH well, the afterparty was much better and i found myself a nice bed and even better company to sleep with... Sunday rolled around and it was time to roll back up to the Loaf and Rip it up... And we sure did... Had the Best best weather for skiing and alot of good company around, I headed in the lodge a little earlier than maybe most would, but hey, "I had to see about a girl"... (goodwill hunting) Oh man she was a looker, and her eyes, oh her sweet blue eyes and i love how her hair was soo soo soo straight. Soo cute, sooo cute.... 4 beers later i was almost passeed out but made it home for a quick nap and then off for what we thought was going to be a romantic dinner, turned out to be anyway i guess, little bit?? little bit? Chinese food and wine, and two candles lit, Is that considered romantic, Other than low zons stinking farts i think it was, Just playin buddy! haha So to conclude, Had another super weekend like always, when you kinda just float and go with what life throws ya you usually seem to have a pretty dam good Time, At least thats been my experience.... Take one moment at a time and save yourself from hate and your on your way........... ......

I had a wonderful time with you lindsey and look foward to seeing you again... Oh i had wondeful time with you too Steph and Chris and you know it, Greger... Good times... But some words of wisdom don't attach yourself to those times, they were fun but now they are in the past, Live Now... thus

M. Ward

2005-03-22T22:01:00.000-05:00

k, I've seen quite a bit about this artist the last few months, what threw me over the edge was a recommendation from my music buddy Jason, from the VT... So i took a closer look at M.Wards work, Man i'm glad i did! This is the sound i'm lookin for in a artist, someone who may not have the best voice but is just himself and lets it all come out, whatever he's feelin you know for sure thats coming thru the mic... Whats nice about it, is most of us can relate to what he writes about, and maybe if ya younger and haven't yet experienced love or lost and even better BOTH, then you will someday, oh yes you will... hopefully for your sake... I'm very foud of muscians like M.Ward and i'm glad jason hooked it up and showed me the light of the great work of M.Ward... Hope you all give him a shot and see if your feelin it.... Few Songs
All ya with a amazon account come listen to a few of the songs that got me Hooked.... 2 more for ya

For some reason he does not have a website, But some news i def know is he will be in North Hampton, Mass Mid April... Check out www.iheg.com for more info

"This is an incredible album. Patty Griffin can do no wrong." -- Kasey Chambers
"I remember listening to Patty sing her song 'Mary' during a stunning solo performance one night. It made me cry and that's always the truest test for me. Her voice alone is enough to rave about and then there are the songs! It blows my mind that Patty's not already famous." -- Lucinda Williams

"I would go anywhere, anytime to hear Patty Griffin sing her extraordinary songs" Emmylou Harris

2005-02-27T18:44:00.000-05:00

I've been doing some research for some talented female artist for all my female fans out there, i know i have been putting up mostly guys lately so its time to give the girls their Due... I was feeling this first artist quite a bit, Cystal Brandt likes to be up on stage by herself with just her guitar, reminds me of Jenny from Forest Gump.. Well check her out and give her some love... www.crystalbrandt.com
1. Two Door Coupe- The vocals in this song get me... (Voter)
2. A little something- (Bessies Last Stand)
3. Watch what your saying ( Bessies Last Stand)
4. Know the way ( Bessies Last Stand)
5. Bottle Of wine " "

"Crystal has good musical styling, in the vein of Patty Griffin... Bessie's Last Stand is perfect to listen to after a long day or during one of those "drinking alone" nights. The album definitely caught my attention and got stuck in my head but, not in that annoying "I'm never going to be able to get to sleep" way... a good compilation of Crystal Brandt's expansive musical talent." - South of Mainstream, October 2003

The Faint

2005-02-16T17:19:00.000-05:00

Oh uhhhh Ohhhh Erection! This next band is a little different from most of my past post, But hey I'm feeling it... I must be getting over my phase of feeling down in the dumps, I will miss that phase but hey when the stars say to move on you must follow... *astrology* So here we go I'm ready to roll....... The Faint Came about in 1994 with the help of Conar Oberst (bright eyes) they got invited to play a little music joint before they even had any songs put together, so they threw some songs together and made it for the show.. I guess you can say that was the beginning of this Unique band.. Their sound, think techno beat in the background and good vocals and you got the FAINT. I know all of us like a little Techno beat up in our head once in awhile, now you can have the beat with some Good lyrics. Example Glass Danse
Now come on you can feel that right??? the Beginning sounds sorta like Zombie Nation doesn't it??? The Web Site... www.thefaint.com
Few more songs to keep you rocking
1. I disappear
2. Call Call
3. Worked up Sexual

Bright Eyes

2005-02-13T19:23:00.000-05:00

Ok so a few days ago i went out and bought quite a few CD's... And instead of opening them all up at once and listening to a few songs here and there... I opened one up each day and gave it a honest listen... The first few Cd's were pretty good, I'll need to put more time into them, But the last one , Oh the Last One ... What a GEM!!!...... Conar Oberst, The Center piece of Bright Eyes, really put together a great Cd >{ I'm wide awake, Its Morning..} Now Bright eyes has been putting out good CD's for quite sometime now and everyone will admit that Conar is truly a Genius at writing lovely sad songs.... Now i'll admit i have not been a huge bright eyes fan , Thats Until this last CD they just put out... Its one of those Cd's that is Great if you put it on in a relaxing atmosphere were you can chill and Read the lyrics.......Its one of those Cd's that you will have no trouble sitting down and listening to the whole Cd... i gotta say its one of the best CD's i have purchased in the last few months... He also released another CD that was put out at the same time as Wide Awake, But i'm yet to listen to it sooo i'll wait and write something up about that after i hear it.. But for this CD... Its a Must have....

And if i could i would like to take a quote from Tremble music review site... "For the last seven years, Bright Eyes has been synonymous with beautiful, epic lo-fi folk-rock masterpieces. However, Conor Oberst had yet to write a perfect album. It looks like he may have done it this time around, and it's no surprise to anyone. We knew he had it in him all the time. "

Def Check out the Website at www.saddle-creek.com
and a few songs for ya
Lua Great slow song...."Well we might die from medication, but we sure killed off the pain"

We are no where and its now "why are you scared to dream of God, when its salvation that you want"

AIM away message...

2005-01-25T22:45:00.000-05:00

This is a good away message, brings some wisdom to all of us out there...

"Don't bother trying to find fault in yourself or others, today, for nothing will come of it. It's past that. What's done is done. Now you must face your fear of being out of control, for that is what's really preventing your forward movement. You might have to accept your own power and let it take you for a ride. Remember that you cannot control the wave, but you can control your reaction to it. "

Wow some Bettcha Wisdom coming at ya! whats next? Shout out too Jamie on Some Aim Knowledge for yA wiggy wiggy wiggy!

David Berkeley

2005-01-06T13:53:00.000-05:00

Yes I'm back and i'm going to rattle off some musicians that i've been feeling lately... First David Berkeley's music is wonderful to listen to while laying around in your bedroom, Prolly take you a few listens before you can appreciate where he is going with his songs but give him time, He's a story teller, thinker, Many compare him to the late, Nick Drake, If you have not heard of Nick Drake, he is a must have, his songs will make you look at life in a different light..... Back to David, This is his Second Cd, his first CD got alot of positive reviews but this one blows it out of the water.... Any fans of the show (Without a trace) out there??? if so you have heard Davids song Fire Signs, This song was orginally not on the CD but was added later.... So check out a few songs from Mr Berkeley right here>>> Jefferson , Red , The Matador
And the website: www.davidberkeley.com

Research

2004-12-28T10:20:00.000-05:00

I've been doing tons of research lately to expand my music libary and to find some new artist for ya all out there... I've been coming up with tons of very interesting musicians and i hope to be back up and running later on today... Plus i have CD's in the mail that i will be reviewing so stay with me!

Elliot Smith

2004-12-21T20:52:00.000-05:00

Elliot Smith, If you don't know about this amazing, amazing musician you better get your head on right! Most people discovered Elliot when quite a few of his songs were featured in the movie Good Will Hunting {classic} He got a grammy nomination for the song Miss Misery... I can't say enough good things about Elliot, GOD bless his soul, i'm sure he's playing in the heavens now, but while he was here i was in heaven just listening to his painfully intimate songs... I'm sooo disappointed i will never be able to see him live, but all i have to do is pop in one of his CD's and he takes me away, the music will always live.... So give em a listen and see if you feel me on this one... www.elliotsmith.com His website will show you quite a few videos to download... I would def check out 1. Saint Ives Heaven 2. The oscar performance, Miss Misery. 3. between the bars..
Plus a Great fan site: http://www.sweetadeline.net/ go to multimedia for more songs and videos...

miss misery i don't have you with me now, but i keep a good attitude...

Lucinda Williams

2004-12-20T21:46:00.000-05:00

Yes I know i have been slacking, but for those of you out there that have not heard of Lucinda Williams, Espically you females out there, you'll be happy with this post... Now i'm sure alot of you already know Lucinda Williams, But you don't hear much of her on the Radio so i figured it was alright for me to post her.... Her new Album, {World without Tears} is a must have!!! Lucinda Williams is like the Ryan Adams of Alternative Country... Ryan is a God to many people out there and if you like his music you'll be hooked on her's as well... I just recently picked up her Cd about a week ago, got the Recommendation from a fellow concert goer.... Her Best album to date would def be {Car wheels on a gravel road} But this album is a close second!!! I would def recommend picking up {Car wheels} before and you'll be hooked! Her Website is kick ass, You get to listen to every song on her new album and get a taste of what your in for.... Hope You enjoy it... www.lucindawilliams.com Songs to listen too.... def listen too 1. Righteously 2. Those three Days.. 3...People Talking...
When you visit her website Go to Music and click on any song you like....

Off to Maine!!!

2004-12-17T18:31:00.000-05:00

Joseph Arthur

2004-12-13T20:37:00.000-05:00

Now i got something good for you tonight, espically since we got this meteorite shower going on... Joseph Arthur is quickly rising up the music circuit as one of the most talented and lovely songwriters out there... His Newest CD (Are shadows will Remain) is a must pick up for any Joesph fan but i suggest if you haven't heard of joesph yet to get one of his early CD's to get aquinted with his music.... I first discovered him in the worlds most Haunted Bar in the world, For real... I was in Scotland, Edinburgh and with a group of fellow traverlers and one of them mentioned this place he wanted to check out, saying how it was the worlds most haunted bar, I can't think of the name of the bar for the life of me right now but i'll get it and Edit this section... Anyway, we walk in get a few drinks and take a walk around, the bar went into the basement and had access to the under ground streets, Well we could not go under into the streets but we had are own room and the basement and it just felt creepy, nothing really happen but you could sence some weird vibes, no doubt.. So this guy gets up on Stage, starts playing, we don't pay too much attention at first but after three or so songs, you could not help but to be into the show! He puts on a great show, it is really something to see him orchertrate all the different instruments and different syconizers and stuff that he has.... So after the show we got to meet him, got autographs and talked for quite some time with him since we were from America and he's from NYC, so that all was very very cool... So here's a few songs for you to melt yourself away too....
Check this site out for September Baby... http://www.realworldrecords.com/ Live Songs>
In the Sun
Echo park
Speed Of light
honey and the Moon sample...

When i find more songs to Download i'll post um... But again i can't say enough but this guy great great tunes, if you like any of the suggestions i have had up so far you'll def like Joseph Arthur......

2004-12-13T20:22:00.000-05:00

Just to let you all know... Try to get outside for a bit tonight and check out some meteorites, tonight we got ideal conditions, not much moon light, not many clouds... Look to the North, North East section of the sky for the Show... Enjoy

Justin Rutledge

2004-12-11T14:51:00.000-05:00

I'm in this Mood right now that i can go for some good old country music... So who do i turn too? well this small band from toranto, Canada who i have just discovered recently is on top of their game when it comes to singing the blues... He is defiantly a major find in 2004, His Songs>> "Soaked in whiskey, they are meditations on love and loss as the bar empties on a cold night." Exactly what i was going to say:) Justin toured for a little bit but now he is back in his hometown, Toronto and i'm thinking about making the trip, There is nothing better than going to see a great musician playing in a small venue like a bar, which is exactly what he'll be playin in canada and down here if he makes the trip, hopefully sometime soon!! So i hope you take the time to sit down, relax, and delve into some of justins music, because basically he is a very very talented song writer who i believe has just started a great career for himself.... Give him a little support check out the website www.justinrutledge.com and like i promised some songs...
Too Sober to sleep
Special >blue is the colour of a boy who misses you
The Suffering of Pepe O'Malley Part 3The last part of this song is a sing along>here are the lyrics>> she said, “i want to die in Vienna, listening to a moonlight sonata”

umm that makes me think.. were would i like to die?? I would like to die on my own little sailboat out on the middle of the Indian Ocean looking up at the stars and the southern cross...

Mates of State

2004-12-10T10:23:00.000-05:00

So this two piece from San Fransico has a very unique sound, very poppy, catchy, and they are something to see live! I think this is good music for you couples out there, Alot of their songs draw off their relationship and like all couples they have their ups and downs, they just sing about it! Kori Gardner does most of the singing and Jason Her husband plays the organs and drums. Their Motta from when they first started, "Play anywhere, any time" so they have been all over from private partys to venues all around the country... I like this paragraph explaining their sound>>> "It's difficult to place MOS in a genre as the song structures are unique, often complex. At the same time there are always the pop elements of catchy melodies and loads of harmony. Even though there are only two of them, they fill up the space with the monster, bass-heavy organ, creative drumming, and constant dueling vocals. The music can be sweet. At other times it's spastic, but either way, you leave MOS shows with a warm feeling." I recently saw them live, kinda on accident i was going to see one of my favorites Bishop Allen and they were playing afterwards, i was going to just take off but Christian the guitar player for Bishop Allen told me i should stick around and check them out, so i did... And they blew the top off this little venue! I highly recommend this band for like i said before, all you couples out there.. Or anyone for that matter, catchy tunes, unique sound, what more can you ask for... Plus they have just recently come out with a CD with only 4 songs on it but i highly highly recommend it! For only 6 bucks you can't go wrong, check it out on the website... www.matesofstate.com
and a few videos to see if your feeling it...
gotta get a problem

Haha

fluke

Enjoy it you Love Birds:)

North Hampton!!

2004-12-10T09:53:00.000-05:00

So last night i went up to North Hampton Mass to see Josh ritter play, and boy did he Play! He is Amazing Live, sounds just like off the CD, and he has great stage presence... I got to the show a bit late so i got stuck behind a big metal beam, but i was with some good company, Sat with a few fellow josh fans, Parker if your reading this, had a good time with ya, hopefully next time we'll get there a little earlier! Hope you enjoyed the show as much as i did! So the concert it self was amazing, i missed the first song because the black and tans hit my bladder hard!!! The songs i can remember him playing were, me and jiggs, bad actress, california, bright smile, kathleen, you don't make it easy baby, wings, snow is gone, harrisburg, golden age of radio, and other side was the encore! During golden age, he asked the whole crowd to stand and dance along so i got the crowd going a bit upstairs had a good time with that.... After the show josh was signing stuff, but the line was a mile long so i skipped out on that and asked one of the waitrises were a good bar was to hang out, she sent me a across the street to the bar in the basement its called i guess, Walked in, and a group of my fellow Irishmen and woman, were circled around a table singing and playing classic irishtunes, I was hooked! So went over to the bar, met who would become a good friend of mine Cynitha, But i like to just call her Sin! She had that irish music running through her veins as well and before long were up dancing the night away, Sin is a dance teacher as well as a designer, so she took the time with me to show me a few steps! and in no time we were doing the 123 RLR, and even a Waltz!! Had just a wonderful time with her, lisa, my little hippy friend Becky in the blue dress, and a few others! We had the place going pretty good! So what else, guess you just had to be there to understand, another great night up in North Hampton and i may just be going back next Thursday! Thanks everyone for showing me a good time last night, esp, Parker, My good Buddy SIN:) hippy girl becky, grooven lisa, Girl i sat next too at the show, thanks for letting me basically share your seat, can't believe i forgot your name! whoops,,, lighting and sound dude, you gave me the motivation to get out around the town!! CD girl, your cool, Josh, killer show, and my irish friends keep singing away!!! So i'm out gotta take care of some odds and ends! cya

Bishop Allen

2004-12-08T16:26:00.000-05:00

Yes, i'm back after a whole lotta partying with my man Jesse, And a long day of work!!
This next band i got for ya is Called Bishop Allen, The two that started the band Christian and the Lead singer Justin are from New York City and attended college at Harvard, while living together justin or christian would start muttering a song in their head (or i should say soon to be song) the other would pick up on it and they would sit down together and put the song together,
Their first CD Charm school was all done by themselves, EVERYTHING.. they wrote the songs, recorded them, did the artwork for the CD, and ever distributed the CD's themselves, mostly off their website,,,, They came up with the money to focus on their music from working office jobs for 3 years...... For doing everything themselves i gotta say they have something good going on.... Their CD Charm school is a masterpiece in my mind, every single song is great in my mind....... Very very catchy tunes, easy to understand you can pick up on the lyrics the first time you listen to it.... I can't say enough good things about this band, i admire how they had a idea to put out a CD and put everything they had into it.... AND it shows... Charm school gotta alotta press from Rolling Stone, the stone gave their CD 4 stars!!!! " They formed in Spring of 2003. They recorded, produced, and released Charm School that May. They then mailed copies to everyone they could think of. This got them glowing reviews, radio play, and shows. Stores soon picked up the album and eventually it appeared on Amazon, where for one heady weekend it was the #2 best seller, between Norah Jones and Led Zeppelin" soooooo Cool... Just recently i went to see Bishop Allen, surprisingly enough right in my hometown of Wallingford! Got to meet the band, talked with Christian and the drummer Jack in length but didnt' get a chance to really talk to Justin that much.... But they put on a great show, Justin is a kick ass frontman! A must see if you like the band... so letta me get you over to their website >> www.bishopallen.com
and you must listen to a few of their songs....... This one is my fave Little Black Ache
Things are what you make of them You Know what i mean????
Busted Heart
Eve of destruction

Enjoy!!!

Jesse Malin

2004-12-06T20:12:00.000-05:00

My man Jesse Malin has been bringing the Heat since breaking off on his own from his punk band D-Generation... His first Cd from breaking away was successful, but his new album (the Heat) is killer.... He is said to put on one great concert and tomorrow i'll find out first hand, so todays Blog is decicated to, A Man, A soon to Be Legend... My man Jesse Malin! Now either one of his CD's takes a few listens so you can understand the lyrics but once they hit, you'll be blown away i believe... I suggest you pick up Both his CD's {Fine art of Self Destruction} and the Heat.... Here is a good song from Fine Art, Its Called Wendy, and I love how it starts off,,, check it out...>>>>> Wendy left me all alone.

Now if you liked that here's one for ya, Off Heat... Mona Lisa > Solid song, but the rest of the Album is just awesome... This is one album i would rate in the top 5 of my collection... Check out Mona Lisa>>>. Nothing to Do, Nothing to Lose

Here's a Good Video i found too, off yahoo.... Queen of the Underworld Check out..

Matt Nathanson

2004-12-05T21:42:00.000-05:00

Now i discovered Matt when i attended a Howie day concert down at Toads Place in New Haven, CT... He opened for Howie, And let me say, He tore it up!!! Maybe i was having such a good time because i met a few girls at the show and we we're dancing and getting Nice (if ya know what nice means) But for real this guy can really put on a show, it helps that he has some great great tunes, catchy but not cheeesie catchy, like you can take something away from his music... I recently brought his newest CD {there is a world underneath these fireworks} It is a solid pick up for any of you that are fed up with being sad about an old relationship, Most of the Cd is upbeat, but still hints at going back to that certain person... Check out his website at www.mattnathanson.com
And he has a awesome Music Player on his Site, Plays 5 songs off his new album... My favorite song is Bent.... I feel so faded, soo far gone, nothing surprises me anymore

Kasey Chambers

2004-12-05T20:34:00.000-05:00

This is for all you broken hearted girls out there and those of you who may be going through tough times with their boyfriends now. Kasey Chambers is from Australia and is one kick ass chick, Yes she sings lovely sad songs about lost love. She doesn't even know that she could prolly get any guy she wanted, Just like Most of you girls out there. She is stuck on that one person and sings about that, i think thats kinda cool too... She is one very very talented musician who i hold in very high regard, Now if i could just get her to notice me:) So pay her a visit www.kaseychambers.com

Josh Rouse

2004-12-05T18:46:00.000-05:00

Now Josh is the defiantion of singer/songwriter, He has come out with 4 solid albums, his last album {1972} was different than what he usually does, but he tried something new and did a good job with it, On 1972 he takes us back to the good time disco ball rollin 1970's! Anyone that enjoyed the disco type music of the 70's would love this album..... I enjoyed his earlier works, my favorite being {undercold blue stars} heres a great song off this album, which will give you a taste of what i'm talking about... Nothing gives me Pleasure

If you wanna Sing along>>> Time, You should set aside some time for yourself, Time for just you and no one else, Time to justify how it's for the best, For both of us ...

Words of Advice:::This song reminds me how tough a relationship can be when you first move in with someone, or spend endless amounts of time together, like you usually do in college with your sweetie... And we all know how when you leave for awhile, or you go on break if your in college, how much you miss that person and you easily forget about all the stupid little things that you fight about... So i say you can take away something from this song, some bits of knowledge like, Hey maybe i need to just appreciate what i have, and say to yourself I"m one Lucky Guy.... But those of you out there that take some time for youself and decide maybe i would be better off alone maybe should go in that direction... These are very hard decisions in life, if we leave we take the chance of maybe not finding what we are lookin for, but if you don't leave you never know???? I can say one thing from my life, its hard to leave, but once you get over it, and live your life on your own terms for awhile, you learn a great deal about yourself and you give yourself a chance to get out and meet new people and learn a little about who might fit you best.... Who knows maybe you'll never find someone that matches the person you left... But i believe there are many fish in the sea, and maybe i was foolish to leave a whale (the greatest fish in the Sea) But i would be more than happy to find someone different like a Dolphin (the smart and very attractive fish in the Sea) But hey, thats just me.......

Don't like the direction your going too??? its easy to get caught in the way of the world..

The Killers

2004-12-05T12:46:00.000-05:00

Oh yes Oh Yes... The Killers are by far one of the hottest bands this year, their debut album Hot Fuss has been making all kinds of noice this year and i think these guys are going to keep the party going... A sound sorta like the Strokes, You need to give them a few listens before the lyrics hit you... But without a doubt a great CD to kick around town with or Blasting during a killer Party ( Pun Intended) Check out a few samples, Cause I'm MR Brightside!

Josh Ritter

2004-12-04T18:07:00.000-05:00

Now i discovered Josh about 3 months ago and have been blown away ever since... Talent wise i believe he is on the level of the great Bobby Dylan... Already early on in his career he has many classics that people will discover as time goes by... Born in Moscow, Idaho, he grew up a country boy looking up at the wide open sky's of the midwest, His music draws on this but he also has songs that many of us can relate too, in a interview he said he enjoys writing songs that other people can relate their life too... So give'em a chance and check out his website at www.joshritter.com plus i'll leave you with a few tunes off his second Cd "The Golden Age of Radio" I suggest that you first purchase this CD before getting his new one "Hello Starling"
Me and Jiggs catchy tune that will have you singing along in no time!
Come and Find Me: Slow sweet song...
Dougs Site

Josh has a huge following in Ireland, He is yet to catch on in the USA as big but give him some time its a big counrty... Many indie rock stations i'm sure have picked up on him but your very unlikely to hear any of his tunes on the radio, Until he pops.... Josh is so far up on the great Mountain of Music , i think we may see him at the top by the end of his musical journey... Great stuff...

For my first Blog, Gotta give it to my man Ryan Adams..

2004-12-03T19:48:00.000-05:00

Ryan adams is a musical genius if you ask me, I know you have to be kinda depressed for this type of music, but soo many of us listen to music because we are depressed... I think??? Ryan Adams started his music career playing with a band called Whiskeytown they were a alternative country band, which had a strong followin, but musical differences broke up the band and Ryan went out on his own, Once away and free of Whiskeytown Adams went Sick and put out 3 killer albums in a matter of a few years {Must haves for all you broken hearters}... So go to the website and check him out
www.ryanadamsonline.com Its hard to find ryan adams songs on the net, but try kazaa or one of the music downloading sites, you won't be disappointed.. few suggestions 1.burning photographs (album: Rock and Roll) All you broken hearters out there, listen to 2. starting to hurt off { Album: Demolition} and i did find one place to download a song, check it out http://www.mp3shits.com/download_mp3/Ryan_Adams_New-York_New-York_mp3/14135/
