Of Montreal-11.10.2008

I really do not know where to start this review and really wish I had some physical evidence of exactly what I witnessed last night at the Howlin’ Wolf.  But for now I guess words will just have to do.  The evening began with the doors not so promptly opening at about 9:45 and a [...]

Chinese Democracy

So here’s something I never thought I’d post about… The first single from Guns N’ Roses new album “Chinese Democracy” came out Sunday (what a weird day to mark a comeback) and in my (and everyone else’s) apathy, I let it slip through the cracks.  I mean Guns N’ Roses… Seriously?  After a notable run at the [...]

Okkervil River-The Stand Ins

Oh and what a new find it is.  Their new album “The Stand Ins” reminds me a lot of Dr. Dog’s “Fate” in that it explores low soulful tunes that still hold a sense of their bright spirit as well as more upfront happy upbeat tunes.  My boss who was the first person to mention [...]

on the 5:15…

(James wishing he was really that baller) Speaking of finding great new music in the most unlikely of places, today it just so happened I was on the same plane to Florida as my sisters best friend and roommate.  When I stated that, “I am still brain dead and forgot my ear phones along with my [...]

What Mr. Braun is excited about..Dr. Dog

Yup more indie rock floks, but don’t worry my pants haven’t gotten super tight and the last three shows I have seen were The Faint, Panic and STS9,  needless to say still the same old cat in the pearl button shirt. Now on to the meat, Dr. Dog,  the Friday I am back for thanksgiving [...]
