scott — Mon, 14 May 2012 17:42:02 +0000

Father John Misty’s album Fear Fun came out at the beginning of May and with it I’ve been pleased. I don’t think putting the album in a box, saying it brings thoughts of this or that, will do it a fair shake. Take it some of the music below and set your calender for a date.

John Amadon:: Seven Stars

scott — Mon, 14 May 2012 04:05:45 +0000

Help support Dirty Laundry TV

scott — Fri, 11 May 2012 20:10:42 +0000

Of all the music sites on the web there are only a few that I regularly check out, and Dirty Laundry is one of them. In case you aren’t aware, these folks get some of the better artists out there and interview them in a laundromat (this week they have Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth fame). Now, Dirty Laundry is asking for some help to keep things going and they’ve set up a Kickstarter campaign to do just that. Donations start at five dollars and there are many great rewards which you can check out at the link below.

John Butler:: “Mystery Man” and “Revolution” from Tin Shed Tales

scott — Fri, 11 May 2012 15:10:49 +0000

Australian singer/songwriter John Butler performed a series of solo concerts throughout his homeland and called the tour Tin Shed Tales. With that in mind comes a two disc set of live selections allowing fans to experience the intimacy and further fruits of those shows. The songs were recorded, mixed and mastered by fellow West Australian James Hewgill. Get a sense with a listen to “Mystery Man” and a watching for “Revolution”.

Royal Headache make debut

scott — Thu, 10 May 2012 18:52:43 +0000

While there are a few current bands with “royal” in their names, don’t hold that again Sydney’s Royal Headache. Their self-titled debut album packs an energetic and captivating edge done up in short bursts that rarely even come close to the three minute mark. In simple terms, this one moves well enough that I didn’t even thing about skipping to the next track. See how you feel by listening to the music below.
