There’s a treehouse somewhere in the mountains, and inside, everyone wears plaid and plucks wobbly melodies on their banjos while singing in quiet voices about orchards and rivers and summer. Keith Wood (of Hush Arbors) and Dave Heumann (of Arbouretum) don’t hang out in this treehouse. Alive , Hush Arbors’ 2011 double LP, featured contrasting sets of live recordings — half acoustic tunes and half psych-country — and Arbouretum’s The Gathering ( TMT Review ) rambled through the fuzzy rumblings of folk-metal. Maybe, when Wood and Heumann met at a show in Baltimore, they decided to form a secret club complete with ...

2011 was the year of the great purge over at Universal. A sudden round of belt-tightening saw the studio put the brakes on a number of projects ("At The Mountains Of Madness" and "The Dark Tower" among the most high profile), but no relationship was cut more severely than the one with toymaker Hasbro. With Universal in deep to the tune of $200 million for "Battleship," they wisely realized that maybe this whole turning toys in to movies thing isn't such a hot idea and over the last twelve months dropped a number of those projects that were brewing ...

From Lance of Pentimento: January 3 - Minneapolis, Minnesota. - Our first real experience with winter, the remnants of a storm covered the city in ice and snow. You never quite know what to expect when playing coffee houses, questions like ‘can the room fit more than 5 people?’ are usually a legitimate concern. But, the Beat coffeehouse was much more than I imagined and turned out to be a great room, attached to a great coffee shop. I’m no coffee connoisseur but I heard good things, the trail mix supplied by our generous friend Laura Grbs was excellent though. Dingus ...
