CD REVIEW: The Humms
The Humms are back again with an incredibly long tracklist of psychobilly/punk/surf/garage rock. Most bands would decide to break all of this up into two albums or one and a couple of b-sides but not the Humms. The band is delivering Lemonland in all of its glory uncut. If you’re more the live type, the […]

New Addiction: Harp Unstrung
Now, normally I wait until a band has a show upcoming before I put them up in my Addictions list but Harp Unstrung has lodged itself firmly in my brain and will not let go. A little bit bluesy, a little bit alt, and a few Southern/Country leanings blend with delightful harmonies and, as previously […]
Epic Fail Playlist for the Dawgs
Dawgs, c’mon. You’re killin’ me here! I couldn’t even stand to watch all of the game on Saturday, deciding instead to peer around the corner at the t.v. while hammering out emails. I heard a lot of groaning. Then I made the mistake of logging onto facebook and saw an avalanche of sad status updates. […]

Feeling a Bit Under the Weather…
Yeah, yeah, I know. Yes, I’m still at work. And yes, I already have tomorrow’s blog post up and ready to go. I also have the sinus headache from hell so I’m gonna post a few videos and go sit in a small, dark corner for a bit. I really miss REMDave’s youtube channel. But […]
Weekly Show Picks
And we have a winner from Monday’s contest! Congrats to Rob Clement who answered first, responding that the Caledonia was once known, however briefly, as the 11:11 Club. We also saw answers that included the 40 Watt, which was also true. Keep your eyes peeled for more ops to win stuff. And Rob, we’ll see […]

Gimme Shelter
I’ve mentioned my love of all things Southern Shelter before but my new job has me deeply in Sloan Simpson’s debt. I should explain that now I’m 8 to 5, I’ve got more time than ever to listen to boatloads of music. Sure, I’ve got stuff to review and that’s always great but sometimes you […]
