Two more mellow new music suggestions from Neddy.

John Hiatt: Mystic Pinball

Doug Collette October 3, 2012 No Comments

John Hiatt's last two albums (The Open Road 2010, Dirty Jeans Mudslide Hymns 2011) are among the most memorable of his career, in large part because of the assertive yet sympathetic accompaniment of The Combo, a streamlined three-piece band consisting of guitarist Doug Lancio, bassist Patrick O’Hearn and drummer Kenneth Blevins. No doubt inspired by their intuitive savvy, Hiatt writes with the confidence of a craftsman who knows his band can handle anything he composes and the mutual surety of the four men permeates Mystic Pinball.

Ben Folds Five: The Sound of the Life of the Mind

Adam D'arpino October 3, 2012 No Comments

Overall, The Sound of the Life of the Mind stands up to the band's back catalogue, and should leave any BF5 fan who might have feared a by-the-numbers reunion album pleasantly surprised.

The xx: Coexist

Matthew Mowatt October 3, 2012 No Comments

It seems that though The xx’s distinctness had put them on the map, it might also be the very reason that held them back in Coexist, as there was only slight evolution from their debut album, leaving us wanting more in the end.

Teenage Bottlerocket/Arms Aloft: Triple Rock Social Club, Minneapolis, MN 9/14/12

Jeff Mozey October 3, 2012 No Comments

Fans were pretty disappointed on September 14th when NOFX postponed the show they were scheduled to play at the Cabooze in Minneapolis that same night. The Lineup for the night was to be NOFX, Teenage Bottlerocket, Dillinger Four, and Arms Aloft. Teenage Bottlerocket and Arms Aloft stepped up to the plate and announced they play the nearby Triple Rock Social Club instead. The 380 capacity venue had a previous event scheduled so the doors didn’t open until eleven, with the show starting at midnight. With the last minute venue change and late start, one would have expected a small turnout – that was definitely not the case.
