I’ve been looking for some new music lately and asked my friends on twitter for some recommendations. That’s when @jessluther came to the rescue. She gave me some really good recommendations and now I’m going to pass them along to you. I’m posting three songs by two artists. I will give a few words of [...]

I remember the day I picked up an album from Best Buy called Quality Control. The album art interested me and the CD was only $6.99 as part of some new artist spotlight deal. The group that put out Quality Control was a group called Jurassic 5. They quickly became one of [...]

I’ve not done a song of the week in a long time but I was listening to music on my iPhone and this song came on. It is one of my all-time favorite songs. The song is Yesterday by hip hop group Atmosphere. If you don’t know who Atmosphere is, they are [...]

In the spirit of the week where we inaugurate Barack Obama as the President of the United States of America I thought I’d post a song of the week.  It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, but Obama’s campaign slogan reminded me of it.  The song is by a group called The [...]

It’s been a while since I did a song of the week. This is mostly due to the fact that I’ve been playing CunninLynguists’ Dirty Acres almost non stop since it released in November. It is truly a great album. Anyway, a song from the band The Honey Brothers was going to [...]

This week’s song is a great song by the great Irish American Punk band Flogging Molly. Nothing much to say about this song really besides it’s a great song. You’ve might have heard it on the TV show Weeds before. I’ve known about them for a while. I think they [...]

Recently h0bbel turned me on to a live acoustic album by former lead singer for Audioslave and Soundgarden, Chris Cornell. Audioslave is one of my favorite rock bands so I was really excited to learn about this live album that was recorded in Sweden. Chris Cornell has such a great voice. So [...]
