The Best of… Nada Surf: A Greatest Hits type Compilation

250 Word Album Review: Steve Earle – The Low Highway
Steve Earle can pretty much cash in a good record without tying at this point. Not saying he isn’t trying on The Low Highway but it seems very effortless. He shape-shifts styles frequently trying on New Orleans swing on several … Continue reading

Guest 250 Word Album Review: Terminal Union – Making Arrangements
Guest review by Dylan Michael Bentley The brainchild of two gifted songwriters, this Cincinnatian 4-piece Americana outfit’s debut full-length doesn’t break new ground, but refreshingly cultivates and effectively draws from well-worn genre roots. Ian Mathieu and David Faul split writing … Continue reading
Signed! – Ike Reilly Assassination – Sparkle In The Finish U-Card
I got Ike Reilly to sign this back cover of his album Sparkle In The Finish soon after it was officially released at a show in St. Joseph, Missouri back in 2005. Strangely enough this would be the last time … Continue reading
