magnolia electric co. live in citrus heights, ca, 5.17.09

Posted by doubter on Tuesday, March 19th, 2013

i posted this show originally in october of 2011, and i asked where was jason molina. i then read a post on the magnolia site that had confirmed what i had been hearing. at that point, i just assumed jason would come back to us. he would get over his sickness, and the world would be a better place for it. never in a million years did i think, or probably any one think it would end like this. honestly, im still very much upset over this, as i am sure a lot of folks are. his music meant the world to me, and spoke to me on levels that 99 percent of artists do not. heartbreaking, people. truly…

buy some of his stuff, all of which i cannot recommend enough.

get to know courtney jaye – noisetrade music sampler

Posted by doubter on Tuesday, March 19th, 2013

courtney

good afternoon, y’all. i really have to admit that noisetrade is quickly becoming one of my favorite sites, not only cause i like what their doing, but also exposing me to some artists, for free typically, that i may not have known about otherwise. in this case, good friend of mine and captains dead, courtney jaye has a sampler up on said site featuring two new songs from her upcoming record love and forgiveness, due out may 7, and a couple from her previous record, the exotic sounds of courtney jaye – which sounds like if nashville were in hawaii rather than its current locale. the latter also being one of my favorite records from 2010? i think? the video below is the first single from love and forgiveness, the mp3 is also included in the sampler.

superchunk live at the whisky, 2.11.92

Posted by doubter on Sunday, March 17th, 2013


flyer stolen from vintage richmond

top of the day! it is st patty’s day after all, but then again i say top of whatever pretty much every day. anyway, now that couch by couchwest is over i can sort of get back into this here joint. although i may take a few days off cause that was pretty damn tiring. think probably ended up with more than 500 submissions, but i dont know that for sure. next year, its intern time! going to repost this super chunk show from the whisky that took place back in 92 when they were opening for hole. the flyer is not the actual show flyer, just time period. buy superchunk stuff via merge.

couch by couchwest day 2 – 4 recap

Posted by doubter on Thursday, March 14th, 2013

oy vey! i need an intern, or we need an intern. someone like darren from seinfeld. this here site should be up and operational, much like the death star, within the next few days. everything is being re-uploaded, all 27,000 files of it and as you can imagine it’s taking a while. so here are some of my favorites from the past few days.

couch

in case you havent been paying attention but as the title suggests the worlds only online music fest, couch by couchwest, kicks off today at 12 pm eastern time. it may not be the only online music fest, but it sounds good to me. this year should even be bigger/badder/more awesome than the last two. got some contests from folks you probably know and love and also have shirts and koozies for sale. if youre an artist or in a band, still taking submissions until probably wednesday. just check the submissions tab on the site for directions.

oh, well hot damn! a new patterson hood record is on the horizon and its called heat lightning rumbles in the distance and is being released via ato records on 9.11. of course hvaent heard the whole thing yet, but i am in love with this song. patterson and kelly sound great together, and begs the question why havent they hooked up sooner? or have they, and i just missed it? either way you can download it down there, or just stream it.
