No, this is a special, magical Hump Day… because here we are together in the quiet hours before sweet, sweet ‘Merica’s birthday.

You may recall that a few weeks back we brought you a boatload of diverse takes on Daft Punk‘s “Get Lucky” – and folks just kept on keepin’ on loving what will undoubtedly be the song of the summer, spawning so many new covers and re-imaginings of the jam to the point where our…

New Orleans act, Hurray For The Riff Raff, stopped back in town over the weekend to play a special acoustic set at The End and we were there to appreciate their uniquely haunting renditions of songs from across their catalog (plus some excellent covers) in a very intimate arrangement.

Jessika’s Roo Recap – Part 1
•
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m in total denial that it’s another year until our next get down on the farm. As a show of protest (or supreme laziness) I refuse to unpack my car, trying to hold onto the magic a little bit longer. And now… the recap… part 1… or…

Jessika’s Bonnaroo Must Doo!
•
This summer marks the 10th anniversary of my first trip down to the farm (those are just some of my mementos above). As the fest approaches, I’ve found myself surprisingly sentimental about the decade of memories made. Sure, there were a few years I had to vacate early and one or two I skipped…

[Hump Day Diversion] Where’s Tino?
•
The current 90s revival is officially undeniable and I am (not surprisingly) totally into it. Last weekend’s midnight movie at the Belcourt was Clueless, there’s a new 80s/90s dance party that has popped up at The 5 Spot and you can catch My So-Called Band on June 8th at Mercy Lounge playing all your…

[Hump Day Diversion] Jugga-life
•
Music is amazing, it brings people together and inspires community in a way almost nothing else can. I’m often reminded of a little pull-out quote from an article in Paste Magazine (from back when they were still a print entity) about Belle and Sebastian‘s Stuart Murdoch that reads: “When Murdoch started Belle and Sebastian,…
