I haven’t been able to post much since Peter Wolf Crier last Friday. Now that I have a free moment, I don’t want to waste it on something frivolous. I hope you’ll consider today’s share well worth the wait. I have been listening to San Diego’s Delta Spirit nonstop. This group also played Emo’s at [...]
Peter Wolf Crier – Inter-Be
Minnesota was doing some weird things to me last night. As it turns out, they have some serious music appreciation going on over there. Have you ever stumbled across a Youtube video by 89.3 The Current? They are, in a word, inspired. Maybe it was the late hour and ill-advised Americano egging me on, but [...]
Macy Gray Covers Arcade Fire at SXSW
I have never been a fan of Macy Gray’s. I find her raspy voice quite a bit grating but in this cover of Arcade Fire’s “Wake Up” she just so happens to be a fine replacement for Win Butler.
Evangelicals week: eau de skunk?

SXSW sort of blows, actually
And believe it or not, it has nothing to do with this picture. As a music idealist of the highest order, as a former Austin denizen, and as a once (and former?) alcohol devotee, the present correspondent is absolutely required to slobber all over himself when the totem music festival known as SXSW rolls annually [...]

NPR’s SXSW Mix
Not sure who to go and see at SXSW in a few weeks? Let NPR help. They have gone through most, if not all, the bands performing and picked out the top 100 that made them say “Yeah, I’d listen to that again.” Some of the bands aren’t new such as Andrew Bird, Blitzen Trapper, [...]
