Sonia Tetlow -- Own Way Home
I apologize for the radio silence this past week. Public schools had Veterans' Day off, and on Sunday I decided I'd simply ignore any and all obligations. That meant lots of work for my real job on Monday and catch-up for the rest of the week.
Meanwhile, it appears that my laptop has crashed. I'm forced to use my Department of Ed-issued laptop at home. Doing without my music collection has been difficult.
Fortunately, I received a press copy of Sonia Tetlow's latest album,…

The Creole String Beans -- Shrimp Boots & Vintage Suits
It's Election Night and I'm virtually biting my nails here. Good thing I have the Creole String Beans to calm me down.
Co-founded by ex-Cowboy Mouth bassist Rob Savoy, the Creole String Beans have reportedly won a Grammy nomination (or first-round, anyway) for their latest album, Shrimp Boots & Vintage Suits.
I don't profess to know much about swamp pop, but I do know this is a great time bottled into a compact disc…

MONARCH -- Amber Waves of Cain
[Note: This was written a few days ago.]
Hurricane Sandy's finally starting to make her mark here in upper Manhattan. By a stroke of serendipity, the winds have set off a car alarm that just so happens to be in the same key and tempo as MONARCH's "Keith's Heartbreak." I'll be less amused, though, when the damn thing is still going off at 2 AM.…

Miss Shevaughn and Yuma Wray -- We're From Here
Thanks to The Civil Wars, the alt-Americana scene seems to have seen a resurgence (or at least a renewed interest) in male-female duos: Shovels and Rope and The Parlor Soldiers, to name two, have started to garner critical acclaim. But they should all step aside for Miss Shevaughn & Yuma Wray.
I earmarked the duo a couple of months ago after watching their video on Couch by Couchwest. I kept pushing them to the back of…

Rachel C commented on Gillian Turnbull's blog post 'Who Cares if Taylor Swift is a Feminist?'
""Why would it be? And why would that be more of a necessity for Swift, a blonde, Southern, pretty girl born into a life of privilege and given everything she wanted and worked for by the age of 16? Moreover, if she was home-schooled…"

MilkDrive -- Waves
I survived my first two days of school -- 178 to go! I realized that I never actually posted the music that went with my TCG entry, so feel free to take a ganderat that.Now, on to business.My mom is really into classical music. I grew up listening to WQXR, NYC's classical music station, wondering how they managed to produce a listener's top 100 list every year. After all, it's not…See More

The Blind Owl Band -- Rabble Rousing
Ready, set, go. It's time to put on those dancing shoes.Though, to be honest, it seems like you'd be better off running barefoot through the grass while you're listening to The Blind Owl Band's Rabble Rousing.Either way, it's hard to resist the urge to move your body about joyfully as you indulge in this upstate New York quartet's newgrass (I qualify it because of the electric bass.)…See More
Rachel C commented on Anna Stodart's blog post 'CD Review - Empty Orchestra "One More Time All Together Now"'
"That's an interesting read of the album. I think it's actually rather bleak (particularly "The Audience.") But we both agree that it's great. :)"

"These guys sound great! Thanks for the tip."
Rachel C replied to Hal Bogerd's discussion 'Anyone burned by a crowd-funded artist?'
"I've always felt like Kickstarter is meant to be like investing in a small business (which is how the site got started anyway.) If the project fails, then you lost your money. If it succeeds, you get what you paid for. But there's no…"

Hal Bogerd said… "One Town Away" is a great disc. I received a review copy of "Sirens", their new disc, and it sounds like mainstream heartland rock.
Blah.

That's okay. Hey, I ride a bike to work (but it isn't a single-speed Schwinn)!
Loved your post that inspired me to share the song.
