Video: Billy the Kid - This House Is Not For Sale (Ryan Adams Cover)

A friend referenced this song in a Facebook post and I suddenly had to hear it. I went to YouTube and one of the first results that popped up was this cover. Billy Pettinger's take on "This House Is Not For Sale" is heartbreakingly lovely. Her sweet, delicate vocals capture... Continue reading

In Defense of Flash

I would prefer not to use flash. I really would. I don't love walking around with a giant apparatus on my camera. I love working with the natural stage light- it makes for moody and exciting photographs...when it is available. Unfortunately, I also shoot at venues that are more DIY... Continue reading

Tracks: My Body Sings Electric - Too Long Didn't Read

Here is another track from the upcoming My Body Sings Electric release (Part 1: The Night Ends out January 28th, pre order here). "Too Long Didn't Read" is of a different pace; a slower, melancholy track marked with piano and vocal harmonies. Part 1: The Night Ends by My Body... Continue reading

Video: Josh Ritter - Evil Eye

For the "Evil Eye" video, Josh Ritter and crew created an imaginary 1972 horror film. It's campy and cheesy and absolutely delightful. Watch below and make sure to catch the Josh Ritter Acoustic tour as it rambles through Europe, Ireland, and the US and Canada (dates here). Related articles Josh... Continue reading

If you're somehow new to this blog, it's about the only way you'll be surprised that I'm posting about Frank Turner. I have seen Frank and the Sleeping Souls in a lot of locations, but it's always special when a Denver show occurs. This was a brilliant night- openers Koo... Continue reading

In Pictures: The Smith Street Band at The Ogden, Denver

I've been hearing about how great The Smith Street Band is for awhile. When they were announced as support for the Frank Turner fall tour, I couldn't wait to see them. They only exceeded my expectations. The set was high energy and emotional as hell. If you're in the US... Continue reading

Tracks: Fort Frances - Plastic Hearts

I'm having a hard time getting over how great this track is. It's a bit harder than what I expect from Fort Frances and I love it. "Plastic Hearts" is a crashing, forceful song that pretty much requires dancing. Lyrically, it's all too relevant. David McMillin, better with words than... Continue reading

Video: Basia Bulat - Glory Days (Bruce Springsteen Cover)

Basia Bulat visited the AV Club to perform a totally unexpected cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days". Covers of The Boss are a dime a dozen in the musical circles I run in, but this one is truly unique. Basia's take is played on the pianoette, also known as a... Continue reading
