Jessie Baylin's Verve Records debut, Firesight, has garnered attention across the nation, making her a musician to watch over the coming years. Calling it a “collection of a bunch of moments in my life,” Firesight is really more than that – songs like “See How I Run,” “Leave Your Mark,” and “Was I on Your Mind?” reveal a blossoming songwriter just scratching the surface of what the 24-year-old can offer.
Hold onto to your headphones as Skeletal is more all-night dance mix than cohesive album – what some might call brilliant and others call unfocused and cracked out. Listen at your own risk.

In 1998 Vermont rockers Phish decided to work a random cover from a wide range of artists into most of their concerts. This created a win-win situation for all involved.

Austin City Limits welcomes singer/songwriter Aimee Mann and folkie Iron & Wine to the program this weekend. Iron & Wine, aka Samuel Beam, filtering old-fashioned, song-based folk rock through an
Long considered (and often stereotyped) as the conscience of California singer/songwriters, Jackson Browne has swung back and forth between the personal and political during the course of his career. He achieved a fine, if precarious, balance between the two schools of thought on his last studio recording, The Naked Ride Home, and on this, his first album of original material for his own record label, is almost equally artful.
One of the the things I miss most about Phish is summer tour. In addition to the music, summer tour always provided an opportunity to see parts of the country I never would have if not for the concerts. Just take a few days off from work, hop in the car and the hit the road. Next thing you know you are in the middle of nowhere with 15,000 other fans at 4 pm on a Wednesday drinking a Sierra Nevada.
For this week’s B List, I put together a quick list of four cities that I never would have stepped foot in if not for Phish Summer Tour. Let’s take a look…
George, WA
July 16, 17, 1998

One of the most beautiful sights I ever witnessed on Phish tour was this incredible venue situated just above the Columbia River in Central Washington. Chances are if you’re in George, you’re there for a concert cause there ain’t a whole lot going on otherwise. The venue offers breathtaking views of the Columbia River, as well as the surrounding areas. Both sets of shows I saw at the Gorge were great, including being front row in front of Page for the 7-16-98 show, but the venue itself was the true star. On-site camping, soft grass, and plenty of fan vendors (who aren’t harrassed by security) made this one of the most desirable venues in the country. If you were willing to make the trek to the Gorge, you were not disappointed.
