A couple of weeks ago, I saw AM at the Hotel Cafe and it was an awesome show. His music reaches across a number of genres from psychedelic rock and folk to soul and classic rock, even jazz. AM’s new album, Future Sons & Daughters, draws on an eclectic variety of musical influences to create a [...] Read More…

I went out to Coachella this weekend and, for the most part, I wasn’t really that impressed. A lot of acts just don’t know how to get the crowd going. One band that is the complete opposite of this is Dr. Dog. They were very impressive. It was my third time seeing them and I [...] Read More…

Royksopp’s “Happy Up Here” is the first single leaked from the Norwegian duo’s upcoming album, Junior, which will be released on March 16, 2009.

The drum break intro is an incredibly crisp and [...] Read More…

First song is the brand new Peter, Bjorn, and John track “Nothing To Worry About” due in March/April on their upcoming album Living Thing.
