Runner & The Thermodynamics: “So Sorry”

Turn this one up. Great garage-band rock out of Boston. Thanks to CMJ and Pitchfork for pointing them out. I see a lot of editorial space comparing them to early Who and Thin Lizzy and James Gang, but am I the only one who hears some early KISS knocking around in there? “100,000 Years,” anyone?

Joss Stone: “The Choking Kind”

There’s live review on this site of Joss Stone’s SXSW performance in March. I first heard her on NPR, probably late in 2003. I still hold to the belief that she’s got a very rare instrument in that incredible voice.

WordPress vs. MovableType

Anyone who recently visited may have noticed things look very different this week. I’ve re-vamped the site and moved to a new blogging system.

The Mother Of All Grateful Dead Archives

Via Online Music Blog: Archive.org has a massive online collection of Grateful Dead live shows available to all just for the asking. The collection is said to be complete, but not being a Dead expert, I can’t confirm that. Now, if only they’d do this for Bruce Springsteen bootlegs.

Keith Fullerton Whitman: “Fib01a”

I’m not sure where I originally stumbled upon this, but I’m quite fascinated by it. Whitman is known in electronica circles by his alter-ego “Krvastki.”

Los Lobos: “The Ride”

Los Lobos’ latest produces a handful of gems, but ultimately feels mostly inspired and partly assembled.

SXSW Saturday Review: Los Lobos at Stubb’s BBQ

The Stubb’s BBQ stage in Austin on Saturday night played out like a highlight reel of favorite Austin City Limits programs, with the reunited Mavericks followed by Patti Griffin, who turned the stage over to the Old 97’s in the midnight hour.

SXSW Friday Review: Joss Stone, The BoDeans, Trish Murphy

A buzz is building in America over the talents of this young girl from England, who stumbled into a music career after trying out for a talent show.
