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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

Trust me it’s almost over, I promise. For the last month all we have heard about is SXSW and tMiM has done our fair share of posting on the subject, for that we do apologize. Now that the whole rigmarole is over and done with we just have to stay strong for a few more [...]

I know. The sponsorship math seems to get more complicated every time you look, doesn’t it? But I have the cheat sheet for you: NPR + SXSW + iTunes = Free Download (Downloads automatically to iTunes) If you don’t have iTunes, then click this link so that you can go to NPR’s website and they [...]

I am as tired of hearing about SXSW as you are but there was one main attraction that I would liked to have seen and that was the debut of The Decemberists new album Hazards of Love. Wednesday night at Stubb’s Bar-B-Q The Decemberists unveiled their 17 part prog opera in it’s entirety. Originally Meloy [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]
