GIVERS & Lord Huron, Exit/In, Tonight In Nashville
•
Oh yeah, it’s Friday! Not that days of the week really matter to a music blogger. I regularly have to ask people what day of the week it is, and the only reason that I really notice it’s the weekend is that friends are more likely to hang out. I remember Friday’s though, and…

I’ll be honest with you. I’m not that interested in Helmet, and I wasn’t that interested in Helmet when they were relevant in the 90’s. I have a Helmet CD that I run into every few years. It’s been rattling around without a case ever since I knew I had it. I didn’t buy…

Battles, Exit/In, Tonight In Nashville

Remember me telling you about the “math rock” supergroup Battles a while back? Do you remember me telling you that Battles was one of Spin Magazine’s top 30 fall tours of 2011? Well, I am going to remind you about it today, so you will know what you should do tonight in Nashville. Battles…

Deer Tick, Mercy Lounge, Saturday Night in Nashville

All the music world has been going nuts over the CMJ Festival in New York this week. CMJ is a smorgasbord (yeah, I had to spell check that) of up and coming musicians that take over various clubs in New York for the week with innumerable parties hosted by all the powers that be…
