    I was in Murfreesboro (TN) during the winter break. The place struck me as your prototypical medium-sized college town, with lots of youth-oriented restaurants and bars that rubbed up against an older 'ye olde town square' architecture. Pretty much like Texas towns San Marcos and Denton, in other words - a good place to study but without a whole lot to trap you there after graduation....

    It's a rainy, grey afternoon in Austin, and the perfect time to listen to the still, sweet folk of MadeLoud artist Serena Matthews. Her latest album is entitled 2012, and as topical as the title is, the music feels like classic acoustic balladry found in the naturalistic, pastoral songs that hooked our attention decades back. Matthews' voice is arresting - Indie Music Reviewers Magazine...

    You may have met Jaguar Ka$h previously (or J. Kash, Johnny Kash, etc.) if you're a big fan of BET's 106 and Park's "Freestyle Friday," where he held a seven-week long winning streak. Later, Ka$h toured with Nas (in 2007, it looks like), and he most recently has relocated to Atlanta. He is now represented by the Popular Music Group, and his newest mixtape Spanish Mafia Vol. 1 dropped at the...

    In 2009 we learned that Adam "MCA" Yauch had been diagnosed with cancer - the growth was on his parotid gland, and he, along with band mate Adam "Ad-Rock" Horowitz, appeared in a video where he calmly discussed the news and explained his diagnosis. He said the cancer was "very treatable in most cases...they caught it early and it's not in any other part of my body." Then he apologized for...

    Here's a curiosity for you - sweet, somewhat sad twee-folk courtesy of The Talking Bugs from Imola. Imola, California, you ask? Nope - Imola, Italy. While we're not experts on what happens in the great-boot-country that gave mankind its greatest achievement (pizza, duh! and the Renaissance, I guess), this is a nice surprise. A four-piece that includes two guitars, a double bass, and percussion...

    The strange thing about nostalgia is the surprise factor involved. For example, you can account for a certain song you listened to when you were dating a certain person to dredge up certain memories, but sometimes revisiting albums from the past barely stirs a passing thought. And then there's the stuff for which you can't even account - for...

    There’s nothing surprising about hearing a child of the 1980s waxing nostalgic about Back to the Future, Culture Club and the original Nintendo Entertainment System. Of course you have fond memories of those particular pop culture touchpoints – so does the entire graduating class of 1991. It’s something altogether different to harbor ‘80s...

    When Portland quintet Ravishers played their midnight set at MusicfestNW, singer Dominic Castillo cracked dry, self-deprecating jokes about his appearance, thanking Don Johnson for the loan of his white blazer and Zack Galifianakis for his unkempt beard. In highlighting these two aspects of his look, Castillo perfectly captured his band's sound:...

    Is your band on the run? Did the band you're in start playing different tunes? Or maybe the band played "Waltzing Matilda," but you can't stand Australian folk music, so you quit the band. Perhaps you're just between band practices. The point is, you're all alone, you're feeling antsy, you gotta get your rock on. Well, have we got the perfect...

    You’re sitting at the bar with some pals when a familiar tune comes over the jukebox. One friend pops his head up and says, “Nice, a little Ice Cube.” Another nods and says, “All right, the Isley Brothers!” Some tense glances are exchanged while everyone waits to see if you’re listening to “It Was a Good Day” or “Footsteps in the Dark.” That kind...
