  1. Thanks, no luck getting to any. . . i am in Boston now, and last night, Foos played with Frank Black!!!!

    Oh My God! I can't believe I didn't get to it. Expensive tickets, but if I had known Frank black was gonna be there I woulda done it. I'm a bigger fan of his and the Pixies than of the Foo Fighters. . . Oh Well.

  2. We have an album reviews section, and I know everyone here listens to music! Unfortunately, almost all the reviews onthe first page are mine or Batmans, so pick up the slack, and review some albums, so everyone can get a broader sense of what you like, and find some new artists!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. OK, my family and I are travelling down the US East Coast next week. i'm looking for some good concerts to go see and I need helppp. The that are possible are Monday, Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. realy appreciate the help. Thansk a lot. Dan

    P.S. We probably wont g any more south that Philly, if that far.

  4. The most soothing, diverse and versatile music in the business. Sometimes vocals and lyrics can ruin the vibe of a song. With this there is none of that. Also, the top notch fingerstyle guitarists can really wow you with sounds they get out of an acoustic guitar.

    Most fingerstyle guitarists use percussive elements like banging on different parts of the body to get differnet noises, and also use tapping, and slap, tap natural and false harmonics.

    TOP FINGERSTYLE GUITARISTS

  5. iron and Wine is one Samuel Beam, his acoustic guitar, banjo and some slide here and there. His album Creek drank the cradle is a very relaxed album that could be considered folk/indie.

    His lyrics are very thought provoking and interestng. The themes are often southern and show southern imagery. There are references to the bible in many spots, though not always in a religious sense.

    Bascally, this music is very relaxing, just lying in your bed at night, drifting off.

  6. I never created this before now because I guess I thoguht OLP were rather popular everywhere.

    Our Lady Peace are an awesome Candian band, that are pretty popular up here. They are pretty rockin; but also have some amazing acoustic and soft songs. Unfortunately, their last few albums have been poor, but I hope they will come back. With the albums

    'Clumsy' and 'Happiness... is not a fish you can catch' the guitars were rockin and melodic, the vocals were dangerous. Raine (vocals) has a great voice for rock. His falsetto is amazing, and he really used it on earlier albums.

    These guys are one of my favorite bands from the late 90's early 00's. Great lyrics, vocals, and instruments that don;t overdo everything, which is rare for that time period. I saw these guys in May, and it was SO rockin I was singing along to lyrics I didn't know I knew.

    If you aren't listening to OLP you are missing out BIG TIME. Check em out. Notable songs:

    Superman's Dead

    4 A.M.

    One Man Army

    Thief

    Clumsy

    Innocent

    Automatic Flowers
