Summer driving is unique and especially when it is through some delightful countryside certain music is necessary. This week I am making my way through North Carolina and Virginia and in addition to the new Big Boi and Black Keys, there is going to be a good deal of ukulele. The Good Feeling Music of May">Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele emerged from the Mississippi wilderness in early 2009 and definitely lives up to its title as unabashed feel good happy music. You Can't Force a Dance Party should be the anthem of every dour-in-the-heat hipster this summer. May ...

Admit it. Black Ribbons is a record you never saw coming from Shooter Jennings , even if he did spend a portion of 2009 rabble rousing with Tom Morello on The Justice Tour II . But yet, here it is: Operation: Mindcrime meets Radio K.A.O.S. Twenty tracks of dehumanization, commercialization and paranoia set to a soundtrack of propaganda, marching feet, barking dogs and backtracked guitars, and all packaged as evidence removed from the files of something called The United Nations Bureau of Investigation. This, coming from the loinfruit of Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter ; a guy who burst onto ...

What is it about the winter cold and snowstorms that send me spinning into an all-day binge of listening to May">Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele and nothing else?

It doesn't take much imagination to picture May">Dent May recording his slightly off-kilter crooning in his doublewide trailer home parked in the tiny town of Taylor, Mississippi (pop. 300). What's more impressive, however, is how effortlessly May makes you forget you are listening to an album dominated by an instrument as oft-slighted as the Ukulele; This feat is even more astounding when one considers the album's title is The Good Feeling of May">Dent May and His Magnificent Ukulele . It's a bit odd to me that the pleasant eccentricity of May and his slightly offbeat ...

[EDIT 02/05/2010: Most song links removed after a Blogger takedown notice, though at least they're civil enough to now simply revert the post back to draft mode instead of outright wiping it out...] [EDIT 03/01/2010: Okie dokie, ALL mp3 links removed after another notice. I'm 90% sure I removed the offending mp3 previously since I only left up the mp3s that were hosted on the artists' website. Of course, the identity of the offending mp3 is indiscernible to all, but if you're curious how these complaints come about, here's the official complaint ...

May">Dent May - “ You Can’t Force a Dance Party ” So, apparently, the ukelele is back and nobody epitomizes that more than Mississippi’s own May">Dent May.  His debut album,  The Good Feeling Music of May">Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele is chock-full of simple lyrics and pop sensibilities that just about anybody can enjoy. According to his record label , Dent Maynia (get it?) is coming and I think you’d better catch it!

Occasionally the most rewarding musical gems are found in the least likely of places. Recording his debut album in his Mississippi trailer instantly turns a curious eye to May">Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele. Discovered by ...

Okee, vooruit dan. Van mij ook een lijstje. Ik had 'm al ergens achter gelaten in de reacties en hij staat ook al hier . Maar dat lijkt tussen al dat lijstjesgeweld hier inmiddels ontoereikend ;) Vreemd genoeg draaide ik in 2009 ook ontzettend veel muziek die helemaal niet in 2009 uitkwam. Vandaar dat ik met de verschijningsdatum in mijn lijstje ook geen enkele rekening heb gehouden. Tevens is het me niet gelukt een duidelijk hierarchie te ontdekken. Willekeurige volgorde dus, maar allemaal ontzettende aanraders. - Smog – A River Ain’t Too Much To Love - The Caretaker – We’ll All Go riding On ...

Melbourne label Mistletone have been forced to pull the pin on next month’s Summer Tones. The event was scheduled to take place at The Corner Hotel in Richmond on January 16, but has been cancelled after the withdrawal of headliners Rowland S Howard and Brightblack Morning Light from the US, who have postponed their tour until April. “Due to the unavailability of Summer Tones headliners Brightblack Morning Light and Rowland S Howard, who is in poor health, Mistletone has regretfully cancelled Summer Tones. All tickets will be refunded at the point of purchase,” read a statement on the label ...

2009. Τέταρτη χρονιά Χειμερινή Ακαδημία. Season Four. Τίτλος Επεισοδίου: Η Ανασκόπηση της χρονιάς.. Τη βγάλαμε λοιπόν και φέτος καθαρή αγαπητοί μου αναγνώστες. Και τα τακτικά μας αφιερώματα είχαμε, και τα έκτακτα, και την 3η alt.Eurovision , και τα δύο Φεστιβάλ Κινηματογράφου και Ντοκιμαντέρ , όπως πάντα.. Οι μηνιαίες 'ραδιοφωνικές εκπομπές' καθιερώθηκαν, οι μηνιαίες εκδόσεις με τις διασκευές πάλι όχι.. Αιτία η γέννηση του συγγενικού blog TCL aka TheCoverLovers σε συνεργασία με τον Gsus . Ένα εγχείρημα που ξεκινήσαμε χωρίς κάποια ιδιαίτερη προοπτική και με μια απλή βασική αρχή [μία διασκευή κάθε μέρα] για να καταλήξει να είναι, σε πολύ σύντομο χρονικό διάστημα ...
