Well last night was Elsinore’s first night at Rehearsal Space, Canopy Club’s new Monday night gig. Free cover, $1 Pabst’s, $1 wells, and a small intimate crowd, every Monday night, and each month a new artist takes over. January happens to be Elsinore. I made it a little late last night, but just in time…

No, I’m not referring to sampler tracks, I’m referring to the laid-back melodies of The Samples, a five-piece group mostly from Vermont who have been around since at least the early 90s, and have a catalog of 18+ releases. They tend to stick with very melodic tracks, and the strings come out clearly, blending well…

I found this one through Filter Magazine’s Media section, and it’s also featured in the Filter Top 5 Picks box at the bottom of the red sidebar. What a funky, middle-eastern feeling, chilled out dance tune. Try it out, I think it will have you all addicted. It was released on Dimension Mix: A Tribute…

I’ve been reading about this band for awhile, and I figured it was time to check them out. Elsinore is based in Charleston, IL, home of Eastern Illinois University, and they make frequent trips to Champaign-Urbana for shows, including quite a few shows coming up in January and February. Vampire In My Town is a…

Say Anything is the random mp3 post of the day, a “punk” band I found on some friend’s MySpace page. As much as I hate those things I have to say I’ve been turned on to a few good bands through them. “Belt”, the opening track from the album Say Anything….Is A Real Boy, and…

Today we’ve got Will Hoge, who until recently I knew nothing about, but I saw him on the upcoming Canopy Club shows and he’s pretty F’in good, so I shall pass him on to you. These are the freebie tracks from his site, enjoy. Will Hoge – “Ms. Williams” – Irving Plaza, NY Will Hoge…

Ok, today we’re covering Cameron McGill. Great relaxed rock type of music. If you enjoy Wilco, Ryan Adams, or maybe even some country you’ll probably enjoy this stuff. The first track off the album, “Long Way Back To California,” is the best contender I’ve heard yet to replace Phantom Planet’s “California” as The O.C. theme…

This is a post I made on Friday, June 10, 2005 at my old blog, which I thought was good enough to be reposted here on BurningOak.com. (I updated tour dates of course) Friday, June 10, 2005: Ok Music Recommendations for the day, we have a few choices! First is Magnolia Electric Co., very chill…

I found two great covers at Clever Titles Are So Last Summer that I’ll leave you with for the evening. The first one she posted is Ted Leo doing Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone,” which is a personal favorite of mine and gets played at all of my keggers. Here’s a link for ya:…

Let It Die Cover Alright, I may not be on the ball as much as most of these “mp3 bloggers,” but maybe there are some people out there who missed this album like I did, and damnit I can’t let that happen. I grabbed a Torrent of this album last night in my crazed 40-album…
