Well, since we started a debate recently about the best sloppy joe, I figured it was time to talk about my favorite NYC bagel store and favorite thing to get

Yim Yames’ (nee Jim James’) homage to the late George Harrison, Tribute to, is truly a labor of love. Recorded in 2001 in a moment of inspired grieving upon hearing of the man’s passing, the titular leader of My Morning Jacket channels the spirit of The Beatles’ lead guitarist as he plays an unusual cross-section of his music.

As we reach the end of the decade it seems like a good time to take a look at the one hit wonders of the ’00s. Finding commercial success isn’t easy and it certainly isn’t a slight on the quality of a band’s music if they score one hit and never find the top of the charts again.

In our never-ending quest to dig up some great bands that cost less than a corned beef sandwich at Katz’s Deli, we bring you another round of Blips.

Dawes
If you’re looking for that next band to fit comfortably in your record collection next to My Morning Jacket, Band Of Horses and Fleet Foxes than look no further than the California act Dawes. Drenched in exquisite harmonies, pedal steel flourishes, acoustic guitar strumming and aching lyrics about heartbreak the band makes quintessential West Coast country-rock drawing influences from the likes of Neil Young, Jackson Browne, Crazy Horse and The Eagles.
