Wristbands have arrived, baby! I always sweat their arrival - like someone out there would target my unassuming house and come after my mail...

The Schedule! Sunday Thoughts.

›
Sunday is going to have my most difficult decisions.  I don't think I have the stomach to make these decisions just yet.  My initial imp...

The Hunts

›
Promising single song from these folks.  From their album cover, it looks like a set of twin girls infiltrated a tween boy band, and the who...

Imelda May

›
Torchy, jazzy rockabilly with a strong voice.  Her most popular track on Spotify is called Johnny Got a Boom Boom, which is a kind of awesom...

Haerts

›
This band only has four songs, but they are pretty dang good tuneful pop.  Although I have to get over the lameness of that name.  Am I supp...

Nostalghia

›
A kind of Nine Inch Nails meets Siouxie and the Banshees/Kate Bush thing?  Thankfully, the name of the band is the lead singer's last na...

James Bay

›
Pleasant piano rock.  Is that damning praise?  Two EPs, one from 2013 and one from 2014, so his stuff is relatively recent.  Hopefully one o...

Vic Mensa

›
Er, not sure when they added him to the lineup.  And Spotify has zero for me to go on.  I did manage to find videos on YouTube of the guy, a...

Jamestown Revival

›
Fine alt-country, roots-folk stuff.  A little more funky than some of the others in that vein, but still rocking all-acoustic with a banjo s...

Jhene Aiko

›
Good hook singer for top rappers, with her own soft R&B stuff.  If you listened to Drake's Nothing Was the Same, you'll recogniz...

Rey Pila

›
Some of their songs are in spanish, but they sound like an 80's synth band.  They get rocking here and there, but in general, I'm he...

Nightbox

›
According to Wikipedia, this is a "dance-punk" band from Ireland.  Falsetto-filled dance pop, yes.  But I hear nothing that could ...

The Schedule! Saturday Thoughts.

Saturday is going to be a fantastic day.  It is going to be long, and I'll have to gird my loins, but I think it is going to be awesome ...

It is going to take me some time to digest all of this, but the schedule for each day was just issued and I wanted to weigh in on my path th...

ACL Daily Band List Thoughts (and the powerful bummer of overlapping bands)

›
This morning was the much vaunted announcement of single day lineups for ACL Fest.  Which I was excited about, until I realized that they do...

The Avett Brothers

›
I really love these guys.  I got to see them from pretty close up two years ago when they played ACL, and their energy was off the charts.  ...

Icona Pop

›
Non-stop dance party.  I really like their big hit, "I Love It" (as do more than 74 million YouTube users) - it is a great dance p...

Seems like a bad sign when you most popular song on Spotify is not actually your song (Jack Johnson's Mudfootball from some festival com...

Ana Tijoux

›
Female latin hip hop. I've got zero clue what she is talking about.  From the video, I think she went to Paris, and then hung out wit...
