Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

Abe Vigoda - Skeleton (Post Present Medium)

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Easily the most striking thing about the new Abe Vigoda album is its production, which is downright poppy relative to tour-mates No Age. Spindly guitars with bizarre effects take up odd angles against each other and tumble from the speakers like Omar Rodriguez-Lopez's used to do when he played ...

Wooly Mammoth @ the Talking Head

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

This review is a little late. Sorry. I've got another one sitting and waiting in the wings, that will hopefully be up shortly. Wooly Mammoth doesn't play nearly enough shows in the area. The DC-hailing rockers come up here once a month during a good stretch; and ...
