Review of Mammút’s third album Komdu til mín svarta systir (loosely translated as “Come to my Black Sister”), 2013 An Icelandic Style As I sat in 12 Tonar, Reykjavik’s indie record store (and indie label, as it turns out), listening to the suggested bands on a blue Walkman mini-boombox, I noticed a trend. The vast […]
I went to the Rusty Nail for the First time Ever on Tuesday It just so happens that every Tuesday, and every 1st Saturday at 8pm, The Rusty Nail hosts a Blues Jam. Having never been to a blues jam before (or the Rusty Nail for that matter), I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. […]
lately I’ve been listening to the radio a lot For such a small town, Wilmington has a number of great radio stations. So many that I can’t fit all of them onto the 6 program slots available on my car stereo. There’s the Oldies station (Jammin 99.9), the Classic Rock station (93.7 The Bone), the […]
A week or two ago, I headed to Atlanta to work on a webseries called “Getting Out“. I had just finished working as a Stylist on a music video by musical artist Sean Cooney down in Savannah, and to keep myself awake driving from Savannah to Atlanta at 4 am for my 9am call time […]
So last week I went to a Flogging Molly concert. A few months previously a friend of mine told me she liked Mumford & Sons. It’s hard for me to hate on them because I’ve never really listened to their music, but she played me a few of their songs and explained that she loved […]
After passing through rural Quebec (and passing by plenty of funny road signs), Kim and I finally pulled up to our host, Jean-François’s apartment in Quebec City (who we found through airbnb btw). Right away we noticed that this part of the city seemed extremely quiet – very few people walked in the streets, and […]
A few weeks ago, some friends and I were wandering down St. Laurent trying to decide where to go to grab a drink (or two) and enjoy some good music. We had shared a pitcher of Sangria earlier that evening and my bladder was rebelling. I was practically skipping down the sidewalk as my friends […]
Recently, I have hit a wall with my guitar playing: I love to play, and the simple things are getting easier for me. I am improving at singing/playing simultaneously, and I’ve learned a new blues chord progression (thanks to my friend Kevin). But I keep coming back to the same problem: I don’t know any […]
Before I begin, I just want to apologize for the tardiness of this post. I went to see Keren Ann at the Montreal Jazz Festival (more on that next week) this past Monday night. I had intended to write about her for Music Monday – you know, do what I usually do, write the post […]
In keeping with my new Music Monday trend (of writing the blog an hour into Tuesday and then pre-dating it), I thought I’d share with you this amazing store I happened upon today in Burlington, VT. Located just off Burlington’s beautiful Church Street in the picturesque downtown area, Burlington Records is no doubt a favorite […]
