Life sounds pretty awesome for Jon Eaton, lead guitarist for The Spinto Band. He’s recording, he’s touring, he’s “pretty much dominating” Super Bomberman… I mean, who wouldn’t think that was rad? If I had to re-do my 20s, I would seriously consider living it in the likeness of The Spinto Band boys. The trouble is, [...]
tMiM interviews: Dave Keifer of Cagey House. “The quickest way to produce mediocre music is to proceed in an orderly fashion.”
by Fred (follow us on Facebook) Take your favorite album, it probably doesn’t matter which: Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin. Grace by Jeff Buckley. Speakerboxxx/The Love Below by Outkast. The odds are that each track seems cleft from the next. And, more fundamentally, that the various moving parts within those tracks are alienated from each [...]
tMiM Interview: Connecting with Joey Siara of The Henry Clay People
When I started this blogging gig, I thought it’d go like this: Surf, stream and share. Turns out it’s more than just an opportunity to muse about what I think a song means or what a band sounds like. Last Friday, I was offered the chance to interview Joey Siara from The Henry Clay People, [...]

It’s about that time
by Fred (follow me on Facebook) Yesterday we had a brief preview of our famed Texas heat. Highways started to sag, asphalt turned to liquid, then the lakes all dried at once, just in time for the wind. The hurricane-force gales filled cars and buildings knee-high with dirt (all of the door and window gaskets [...]

Kevin Devine is a Brooklyn singer/songwriter that is making his way over to Coachella, for his debut performance, and taking his time to play a few intimate shows along the way. While at his St. Louis show, Devine took some time before he stepped stage to answer some of our questions about the new record, [...]
tMiM interview: Carlos Suarez. “Remember that it is in darkness where the colors of poetry shine.”
by Fred You have a headache and a sour stomach from the New Years Eve party. You wake up later than usual: right at dawn this time. You brew a searingly hot cup of coffee and stand outside for a time, watching the slow spill of maroon onto the horizon. It is cold, but you [...]
The Antlers remix Choir Of Young Believers
by Fred Normally we try to avoid the whole White Denim Remixes Wayne Coyne’s Remix of White Denim ad infinitum, but this is great: Peter Silberman of The Antlers remixes “Claustrophobia” by Choir Of Young Believers. (Track appears on their 2009 LP This Is For The White In Your Eyes.) Listen to the original and [...]
