I saw Cracker/Camper Van Beethoven a couple weeks ago at the Fine Line. I wasn't real excited but thought it would be fun. A friend is a big fan and it was only $20. I was pleasantly surprised. I really liked their "new" music that I'd never heard before.

Loading... Since we have recently discussed the Drive-By Truckers, I'd figure I'd go with this one first. It is one of my favorites from the latest album. And I think their latest album is their best since Jason Isbell was in the band.
I like my protest music to tell stories and ask questions.

Well, I think that about wraps it up. Thanks to the volunteers!
Hey, everyone. That time of year again. You want in on these sacred institutions? Sign up below. Let us know which one you want to do (or both, if you'd like), and I'll sort it all out in a bit.
Looking to fill 11 slots on each.
As the year goes on, I keep finding myself coming back to Psychopomp. It's an album that is over way too fast, but it's impactful over that short running time. I'm glad I got to see them this summer. They were killer live. I have another song below the cut because the video is awesome.

(1 votes, average: 8.00 out of 10)Loading... I've been fairly obsessed with Kelela for a good year now. She makes good, ahem, mood music. There may actually be a lot of R&B this week compared to my usual, as for whatever reason, it's grabbing me these days.
(2 votes, average: 7.00 out of 10)Loading... It's an established fact that Sundays are for ballet. I was going to share a video from a ballet performance, but then this caught my eye.
Thanks for a sweet week, guys!
