Signing with a new record label (Savoy/429 Records) Cracker returns with the usual suspects: Lowery’s long-time partner, Johnny Hickman, drummer Frank Funaro and bassist Sal Maida.  Taking a new approach to their creative process, Sunrise is a collaborative effort by all four bandmates. Surprisingly self-disciplined, they took one week every two months between tours to write together over the course of a year.  The result was a creative outpouring with a strong common thread – all four musicians came of age playing in the origins of punk and new wave and once again found those sounds rising up.

Regina Spektor has added a a month’s worth of late-summer dates to her U.S. tour behind her forthcoming Sire Records release, "Far."

She’ll then return to North America for a seven-city trek that begins Sept. 11 in […]

I really enjoyed the four part mini-series that ran on the Documentary Channel last month, Icons Among Us: Jazz in the Present Tense, which focused on the quiet revolution currently underway in jazz, and the wide and range of musicians who fall into that generation; everyone from Soulive to Bill Frisell to Trombone Shorty to […]

Tell me if you’ve heard this one before – band hunkers down in a cabin during the bleak winter months to record and emerges with an album chocked full of gorgeously haunting Americana that they self-release, but earns enough buzz to be reissued by an indie-label. Sounds a lot like Bon Iver, but this year […]

The best of the best from Friday's shows.

Sharing the same name with a certain “shoeless” baseball player, Joe Jackson has probably suffered a time or two from an identity crisis. For this Mr. Joe Jackson, the English singer-songwriter, composer, and pianist, he’s probably fine that his otherwise common name provides him a sense of creative freedom.

Phish archivist Kevin Shapiro will host special editions of From The Archives this afternoon from 2PM to 4PM CDT and on Sunday from 2PM to 4PM CDT on Radio Bonnaroo. You can access the station through the web or over-the-air on 101.5 in the Manchester, Tennessee area. Shapiro usually hosts From The Archives – which […]

Last night Phish treated the survivors of the Bonnaroo mud to a high-energy three hour set filled with hits, new songs and their first cover of AC/DC’s Highway to Hell in over 12 years. Billboard shot some of the first song from the pit and here’s what they posted to YouTube this morning… Without further […]

The great thing about working in the East Village is that there are some amazing food places that are hidden on the side streets and if you go at the right time you can get some amazing food with little to no wait.

One of those places is Porchetta on East 7th Street between 1st avenue and Avenue A. The foods that I head in there for are their homemade Pork Ragu and their oh so delicious Crispy Potatoes with Burnt Ends.

The pork ragu takes 48 hours to make and is not available all the time but when it is, you have to go in to try it. The picture above is one I took months ago when they first rolled it out. They now serve it in a big bowl with the bread on the side for a way economical $8. I stopped in last night on the way home from work and only got the crispy potatoes with burnt ends (to go) as I was on a walking and grazing tour and found my way over to Momofuko Ssam for Pork Buns, Sake Lemonade and cookies from Milk Bar before heading home. I’ll do my piece on Momofuko Milk Bar soon as their stuff is amazing and their corn cookies ethereal. READ ON for more…
