Every year I do like a year re-cap where I give out awards for my favorite things of the year. This is the first time that I have ever decided to post it. Usually I just discuss and debate with my girlfriend and friends…but here is is:

The 4th (or so) Annual B-MONEY AWARDS!

Album of the [...]

The title of this blog entry is a song name from this great artist that I met briefly at NACA last year: Tyler James . The reason I thought of his music is that I was talking to an colleague of mine from his college booking agency, which I’ll get into in a moment.

I’m [...]

I was itching to get out yesterday so I saw Todd Haynes’ new movie “I’m Not There” about the many lives of Bob Dylan. For those who are not familiar with the movie, it follows 6 narravites of characters that are supposed to represent different personalities of Bob Dylan. As a whole, the movie was [...]

This has been the longest break from blogging that I have taken since I started blogging back in October. That doesn’t really matter much but each day I’ve put aside a half-hour to blog but it has been filled up with other things.

So yea, the first thing I suppose I should mention is that on [...]

I’ve never hidden the fact that I wasn’t born with any innate musical ability other than a strong work ethic. I didn’t pick up guitar until 12 and am only a competent rhythm guitar player. I can’t play lead guitar to save my life. I have friends who write great songs because that’s just how [...]

…So yea, we got a BUNCH of snow yesterday and the big show at The Paradise Lounge was cancelled. It’s a complete drag but a bit of a relief for a few reasons:

Apparently it was foolish of me to book the show on December 13th back in the beginning of October because the projected forecast is 5 inches of snow…which blows.

We have put a ton of effort into this show…All of the bands, which is a rare thing, have promoted their tails off and at this point, [...]

The title of this blog entry refers to a lyric from a song by Josh Ritter. I went and saw him last night at Club Passim, where he played a benefit show for a friend of his who is trying to pay off exorbitant medical bills because of her recent bout with breast cancer. It [...]

It’s not that things have been slow here, it’s just that I’ve been unmotivated to write for some reason so my blog entries perhaps aren’t as spirited as they have been in the past. For some reason, I’m not really that nervous for Thursday but I am nervous about the band’s preparation for the show. [...]

On Thursday night, the band played at Franklin Pierce. I only got one picture that was a keeper, and it’s above. We had a small but appreciative crowd and they had these cool lamps on the tables and they held them above their heads for us. We also hada lightshow, which was very weird but [...]
