The Jeckell & Hyde show that is The Big Nasty
I am a bit confused by The Big Nasty – they have two CDs coming out and one is more country folk and the other more rock alternative. I mean each is its own project – and actually kudos to them for having the energies and ability to have two separate albums to promote. And…

Newly infatuated: One Hundred Dollars – Forest of Tears
Holy shit I am digging this song (Tirade Of A Shitty Mom)! Wait, I’m digging the whole damn thing. I recently picked up the album for One Hundred Dollars – another winner from Canada folks – and this song (and below video) are just amazing. It is all psychedelic, folkish and is stuck in my…

My “Various Desktop Mp3s” playlist
I have done this before (see here) and I just did the whole drag and drop into my iTunes and have a new playlist for this Saturday. I have had these mp3s on my desktop for weeks now and they are not related at all besides the fact that I listened quickly, liked it and…

New Album from OX on the way – Let’s revisit shall we?
So OX has a new album “Burnout” coming out on November 10th (featured that title track over on You Crazy Dreamers HERE) so I thought I would swing by their site and catch up on what was going on until now. So Burnout looks to be the bands 3rd album with the previous album being…

Video! HearYa Session with The Deep Dark Woods “All The Money I Had Is Gone”
So long before I joined the “fray of music blogging”, I was a fan of the HearYa music blog. They had had a great blog in general and then they had this tab for “Live Sessions”. This blows me away – mostly as a blog owner, I can’t think of the ability to be able…

New/Upcoming Release Listening – The tracks I’m “allowed” to give you edition.
photo stolen from Less Noise More Signal So I am sitting here listening to one of the many iTunes playlists I make (I am a bit of a fiend for this) and while scrobbling to my Last.fm profile I noticed that some tracks are readily available for download. As I consider myself basically an up…

Huck Notari’s “Very Long Dream” is Very much NOT long enough!
When one visits a site like mine and listens to music, one gets and idea of the style of music you will often be subject to everytime you come back. While there is nothing wrong with blogs that cover multiple genres of music and even have a “media information” feel and cover movies, celebrity, cultural…

Who said “Alt-Country” was dead? Song of the Day – “My Girl Baltimore” by Paul Masson
Sometimes I get in a mood. My mood is currently set clearly in the land of late night dusk across the plains of Maryland. Wait? Maryland? Yes, Maryland. Paul Masson delivered to myself (just yesterday) a fine example of why I could have been born in Texas in the 50’s. Great country (or Alt-Country for…

Song of the Day – Graham Lindsey’s “Tomorrow is Another Night”
This one ain’t new to me, but it is from one of my favourite albums of last year – “We Are All Alone In This Together” from the banjo wielding Lindsey. The song, friends is “Tomorrow is Another Night” and it is one of the best. As I tend to, I enjoy a unique voice…

Song of the Day: Ronnie Fauss’ “The Saddest Love That’s Ever Been”
There is something about a bit of grit from a whiskey burnt throat accompanied by a slide guitar. Yeah, it’s called country music, well…sort of. I do find myself often attending the “my dog is dead, my wife left me” school of music enjoyment and I have the following homework for you. Listen to Ronnie…
