Although I never blog about it, my favorite band (far and away) is the Dave Matthews Band. Leroi Moore, one of DMB's founding members, died last week following complications from an ATV accident. For those who don't know, Leroi played the sax for the band. I have to admit, sometimes I would zone out during his solos--I'm not a horns type of guy. But now that he's gone, I sure wish I could

I'm a sucker for reggae, reggae/rock, and music with ska roots. Give me some Bob Marley and 311, mix in some Slightly Stoopid and Sublime, and I'm in music utopia. Now I can add Bodouin Soundclash to that mix. Their music ranges from a traditional roots-rock reggae sound to early U2. Personally, I think they make their best music when they mix the two. If they don't grow on you at first,

If you're not aware of archive.org you should check it out. It has a HUGE collection of "archived" documents, movies, and, you guessed it, live music. Most of the music is bootlegged, but some of it is really high quality. You can even stream most of it from the website or download it. Here is a sample (a Jack Johnson radio interview/performance from 2000):

Ten months later, a new post (dedicated to Kate). I don't have time to do a write-up on this guy -- but he's groovy. IF you want some of his music, let me know and I'll let you "sample" some from me...

Even if you've never heard of Joshua Radin, you've probably heard Joshua Radin--barely heard him that is--because he's really quiet and he's really mellow. His is the kind of music you hear playing in the background at Barnes and Noble, or in TV shows when the plot takes a turn to sensitive town, or around your house while you enjoy a quiet dinner. Even still, he's good. And when you're

This spotlight will be different than those previously posted for a few different reasons. First, I won't be doing a huge bio on this band because, to be honest, they do not have a unique story of their "discovery" like the others. Second, unlike the other artists I have spotlighted to whom I have been listening for quite some time, I just recently discovered this band (and no, I did not

Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that you are an avid visitor of Nascent Chords, that you like the music in the spotlight and that you would like to hear more artists with a similar sound. Or, let's take a more likely scenario: you want to hear more artists that sound more like your favorite artists. Either way, there's a website that will do just that for you. You simply enter the

What happens when an aspiring pro skateboarder falls off his skateboard and shatters his leg, leading to an 18-month layoff? While most skateboarders would be devastated, when Matt Costa found himself in that situation, he took advantage of the down time to write music, only to find out that he could write better than he could ride.DISCOVERYAs he was rehabilitating his leg, Costa wrote four

I added a sidebar item called "Music Deals." I will frequently add links to great deals on music products that I find. It's not an advertisement -- I add the products personally, and if you are in need for one of the products, check it out.

We were all taught in 6th grade that humans by nature are "hunters and gatherers." Fortunately, at least for me, and to the dismay of some of my hunter friends, advancements in civilization have basically eliminated the need to hunt and gather. That doesn't mean, however, that our natural instincts to hunt and gather will be immediately selected out of our biology. Thus, we all have a little

What happens when you mix a singer with a young Cat Stevens look, a voice that is a raspier version of Brian Howe’s from Bad Company, and an acoustic sound that has a 70’s, rough-around-the-edges quality? The music of Ray LaMontagne.BACKGROUNDTurbulent upbringings often create masterful musical results; the same proves true with Ray LaMontagne. Ray was born in the New Hampshire but as a child
