This Week in Great Music: 11/14 – 11/20

It’s been quiet around here lately, as I poured all my energy into frantically packing to move into a new apartment.  I’m all settled in, so hopefully things will be back to normal.

You can catch me spinning some tunes on CHIRP this Friday night from 8-10 pm Central.  It’ll be great.

Who knew that death could be so cheerful? Here’s my favorite track off of Jeremy Messersmith’s The Reluctant Graveyard. The song is catchy and the animation in the video is — pardon the pun — to die for. . . . → Read More: Wow, That’s a Good Song: Jeremy Messersmith, “Organ Donor”

This Week in Great Music: 1/10 – 1/16

Tomorrow Never Knows 2011 kicks off this week, with shows at Schubas, Lincoln Hall, and Metro. Some year, I’ll be able to do something wacky like go to a show every night. This is not that year.

This Week in Great Music: 8/9 – 8/15

After three days of Lollapalooza, I kind of don’t want to think about music right now. Fortunately for those of us who are sort of burnt out at the moment, there’s not a lot going on. I’ll be at the Rufus Wainwright show on Friday. I’m not in love with his new album, but as a Rufus (and Martha) fangirl, I’ll go to the concert all the same. Maybe I will love the new songs more, seeing them live. . . . → Read More: This Week in Great Music: 8/9 – 8/15
