Vinally Friday – 5/19

New Tracks – 5/16
When a prospective girlfriend dragged us to an Ani DiFranco show during our college days in Madison, Wisc., back in 2001, we brought a extra package of fresh Bic lighters. We weren’t just oblivious to her music – we had an entire set of stereotypes to which we were entirely devoted, and so we entered the […]

New Tracks – 5/9
We want to be a band; will you please send us some money? Such a simple, straightforward request might normally garner laughs and eye-rolls, but for some of our favorite artists it’s meant the difference between obscurity and continued (or renewed) success. When we heard Matthew Sweet‘s new album was entirely funded by fans via crowdfunding, […]

Neil Young ranked him alongside Jimi Hendrix as the greatest electric guitarists to ever play. Eric Clapton also called him one of the best, and twice charted with covers of his obscure early 1970s hits. We guess when our favorites all start pointing at the same person, we should take a listen. Tomorrow, Alanya will help us […]
