  • Umphrey’s Double Header??

    It could be an error, but a Jambase.com article on the new Umphrey’s Album has them listed as playing at Canopy Club TWICE in April.  Let’s hope it’s true, and Canopy has no schedule show on the date after the officially announced show, and it’s a Friday…… OOOOhhhh baby.  Check it out, tell me what…

  • More Austin, TX Love

    Austin, TX Recommendations No. 2: How about a restaurant suggestion?  I’m sure you’ll all do plenty of eatin’ while hanging about town for nearly a week, so here’s one of the places I visited.  It’s called Magnolia Cafe and it’s located on 1920 South Congress Avenue.  I personally went there for breakfast hours but I enjoyed…

  • Austin, TX Recap

    As I currently type, this site has just received its 10,000th hit! So here’s what we’re going to do. A lot of posts this week are going to revolve around my Austin trip this weekend, regarding Food/Music/Etc. I’d wait unti SXSW was a little closer to do this, but if I don’t do it now…

  • Friday’s Smilin’ Singles

    Well just like all of you I’ve got stuff to do tonight, so I’m gonna leave you with one sweet track for the evening.  It’s arguably my favorite Grateful Dead song, off of my favorite album, American Beauty.  Oh, and yes, my favorite Dead song is something I argue about with myself frequently, and I’d…

  • Thursday’s Smilin’ Singles.

    Today’s Smilin’ Singles tends to be a little softer, perhaps even sadder, but all the songs are incredible, so you need to listen anyways. If these are a little sad for you, check out all of this week’s Smilin Singles posts. This is the song that really caused me to stop and give Wilco another…

  • Wednesday’s Smilin’ Singles.

    Alright so here at BurningOak.com this week I’m doing Smilin’ Singles. It’s my sad attempt at a play on words for single tracks that make me smile, and happy songs for those of you without a significant other during Valentine’s Day and the surrounding week. Hence, Smilin’ Singles. I promise the next time I have…

  • Happy VDay, It’s Smilin’ Singles Tuesday.

    One of my favorite bands of the last 5 years or so, this is the very first song I ever heard from them….. Pepper – Sitting On The Curb from Kona Town. This may seem a little obvious, but that’s fine with me, I hope you can come to terms with it, too….. Weezer –…

  • Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you

    Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you. This was a floral arrangement I made for someone for Valentine’s Day 2005. I’m pretty proud of it, I’m also good with wine bottles. Look forward to some sweet Smilin’ Singles later on in the afternoon, and maybe more. Until then go back and enjoy Sunday and Monday’s…
