Monday's Hors d'Oeuvres
Welcome to the working week, where we feel your pain. But that’s why we exist, to help you slowly dip yourself back into the groove with these fine links: Omega Moos: Best band name ever? Remember this one? The Beastie Boys promoting Check Your Head on Hangin’ with MTV I won’t believe the circulating rumors about a possible Van […]
Less Peakin' at the Beacon?
Word has it the Allman Brothers may be forced to take up residency somewhere else when their time comes to plant their lazy asses in New York for a month. There’s still no official confirmation from any of the parties — and I’m entirely not sure there will be any time soon — but one […]
Thea Gilmore: Harpo’s Ghost
The latest offering from acclaimed British singer-songwriter Thea Gilmore isn’t that far of a departure from her Avalanche or Songs From The Gutter releases – full of quality songs and equally high levels of musicianship.
Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry: Panic in Babylon
He is a legend, he is Scratch and he is The Upsetter. But he's also self-indulgent to a fault on his latest offering.

"Yes, We’re Playing…
…now, if you would please, just leave us the fuck alone.”
That was basically the message from the official Genesis website this week as the band announced a reunion tour. Well, kinda…
The latest from Genesis: “An official announcement about the band’s plans for 2007 will be made on Tuesday, 7th November. Full details will be made available FIRST on this site at a time to be confirmed. No further information will be supplied until that date and we respectfully ask that people desist from sending emails, letters and making phone calls for advance information – this will NOT be provided until the official date. Thank you for your patience until then.”
Personally we like that level of feistiness from a band that hasn’t played in 10 years. Yet Genesis fans have suffered enough through “Groovy Kinda Love” and The Tarzan soundtrack for long enough, so patience isn’t exactly a virtue at this point…
Friday Leftovers
Who doesn’t like to procrastinate on Friday? You…you’re lying, I see it in your eyes. To do our part, we’ll help out the “Do It Tomorrow” cause by jotting down some miscellaneous links from the week that was: Phish.com has released the promotional site for the Colorado ’88 release that debuts on Tuesday D&C Asshole […]
Shearwater: Palo Santo
Vocal dramatics are the essence of Shearwater's forurth album, Palo Santo, with vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Meiburg consistently exposing a forever-fluctuating line between kitten purr and banshee wail.
