CHIRP Playlist: Friday, December 16, 2011

By Sarah on December 17, 2011

Friday was a long, weird day. I retaliated by taking it easy on ye olde internet radio. Lots of banjo and alt-country and songs that I love. Oh yeah, and the Muppets. Thanks to everyone who tuned in. It’s always fun for me to get requests from people who I don’t know. I’ll be back […]

This Week in Great Music: 7/18 – 7/24

By Sarah on July 18, 2011

I’ll be at Lincoln Hall to catch the Old 97’s tonight.  They’re one of those bands who I always seem to miss when they come into town.  No more! And while I probably won’t be able to make it, everyone else should go to the Timber Timbre/Marissa Nadler show on Thursday.  I don’t know much […]

Album Review: Gillian Welch, “The Harrow & The Harvest”

By Mel on July 6, 2011

Reviewers of Gillian Welch’s The Harrow & The Harvest seem to fall into two broad camps so far: reviewers who are delighted to get more of what they love about Welch’s music, and reviewers who expect Welch and Rawlings to evolve past what they’ve done for the last twenty years and who then express disappointment […]

Album Review: Dave Rawlings Machine, “A Friend of A Friend”

By Mel on November 10, 2010

The first show after the release of A Friend of A Friend was at the Melting Point in Athens, Georgia, and I was there. They went on an hour late — because, Rawlings said, he was trying to make a set list and eventually just threw up his hands and figured it’d all work out somehow. The result then, and in every tape I’ve heard and show I’ve seen since, was something only slightly more formal than a jam session — which is important.

This Week in Great Music: 11/30 – 12/6

By Sarah on November 30, 2009

How is it December already? I find this incredibly unfair. I’m not okay with this at all. If you’ve missed out on tickets to The xx on Tuesday, don’t go and pay double face value just to get in to the sold out show.  Tickets are still available for their show in April 2010 with […]
