I woke up this morning singing this song, and couldn’t get it out of my head… and then Leslie Fram told me she had a dream that she couldn’t get into a concert because it was at capacity; so just as a warning today might be a little off, but here are a couple of […]
I WANT MY MTV!!! Well, even with the return of Matt Pinfield’s famed “120 Minutes,” MTV still isn’t what it used to be, but we still wish a happiest 30th birthday to the network that made it cool to rock some spandex and hypercolor tees… While you are doing keg stands celebrating, here are some […]

By Micah McLain I’ve been in love with Sharon Van Etten’s music ever since I heard about her surprisingly powerful sets at this year’s SXSW. I have no doubt that those lucky enough to be in attendance at 529 on this late Tuesday night now share these same feelings. Although the crowd was relatively sparse, […]

The indie music blog world is often a cauldron of […]
