Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Feel like a lot of folks here would enjoy these youngins from Harrisonburg VA. If you enjoy Whiskeytown, Ditch-era Neil, Mapache, Gram & Emmylou, etc, then Dogwood Tales will most likely resonate with you. https://warhenrecords.bandcamp.com/album/wh033-closest-thing-to-heaven https://warhenrecords.b...

Some notable shows: Solo at HSBF in 2007 (maybe 2008). First time seeing him. Steve sat in a chair on the side of the stage and watched the whole thing. The Big Surprise Tour in 2008 or 2009, whenever that was. Duo w/ Cory Younts. Killer revue style show with JTE, Felice Bros, Gillian & Dave and OCM...

Unbelievably sad news. Saw and worked with Justin many, many times over the last 10 years or so. To the point where we considered each other friends. Big hugs, great hangs. Always felt like he wanted to spend more time hanging out in my office than he did in his green room. Some wonderful memories w...

Also I forgot to add Greyboy Allstars - Como De Allstars to my list.
Really enjoying that one too.

Mulatu Astatke - Mulatu of Etheopia Can you tell me more about this? I've flirted with buying the 2017 reissue for a long time but could only find it from Strut Records in the UK and never wanted to pay that much shipping for something I can listen to digitally. I Googled and came up empty on a 202...

New releases: Jeff Parker & The New Breed - Suite for Max Brown Jeremy Cunningham - The Weather Up There Bonny Light Horseman Gil Scott-Heron/Makaya McCraven - We’re New Again: A Reimagining by Makaya McCraven Zachary Cale - False Spring (lots of folks here would enjoy this, FYI) Rob Dobson - New Dy...

One of the better lists like this I've seen in some time.

Would add:
Bill Frisell - East/West
Lambchop - Live at XX Merge

Nice to see some movement from them. Even better that it was mixed/mastered by David Barbe. Might as well just put it on your calendar to buy on 7/3 vs. pre-ordering because Bandcamp is waiving their fees again that day. Still got some Teenage Hallelujah LPs available for $10 here, if anyone is inte...

Saw the Hot Nuts many years ago.
Just a classic North Carolina band.
Have a few of their records.

Seen them many, many times over the past decade, as recently as just a few weeks ago.
Band is a fun party for sure.
They've been good to Charlottesville. I'll probably go see them every time they roll through town.

That record is so sick, so glad they reissued it.

Really, REALLY want a By Your Side reissue.
Prob my favorite from them and arguably their most underrated & underappreciated record.

The AD list is far & away the best. Tons of great stuff I was privy to already, but always a lot of surprises and new-to-me goodies. Takes forever to work though, which I love. I listened to a handful of stuff yesterday. The Ernest Hood "Neighborhoods" release is incred. New Commute typically has a ...

Thought some of you may be interested. Everything in the shop is 25% off all week. Use code HOLIDAY at checkout. Lots of good music for very reasonable prices, a whole bunch of which people here would likely enjoy. Happy to give recs if interested. Plus t-shirts (running low!), posters, hats (1 left...

Need to check out Fontaines DC, I see that name pop up everywhere but have no idea what it is. Always makes me think of Richmond Fontaine. And then I get sad because they aren't a thing anymore. Here are my favs. Unranked, because I personally think ranking is silly. Vetiver - Up On High HGM - Terms...

Man I miss The Gourds.

That is a monster tour, wow!
See ya in Charlottesville.

Sucks so bad.
Long live the Feat.

Wes Freed cover art?
Fingers crossed.

Luther is so good.

Nick Cave going for the heavy Thomas Kinkade vibes on that cover art.

Maybe swap Dimes for Bday Boy

Zip
Ghost
Dimes
Frank

Never been but they have a good calendar.
Just a little too far for me.
But I think it does well because there is literally nothing else in that part of VA until you get to Asheville really. It's a big, under-served market.

I worked a show of his in 2014.
Dude was the absolute coolest. Super laid back, very kind & humble.
He burned down with us post-show and was like "wow we don't have that kinda space weed on the bus!"
RIP

I, like I'm sure a lot of you here, found Tom Petty's death to be particularly shocking, unexpected and truly unfortunate. One of the pillars of Rock & Roll and American music. A god. Naturally, I found myself listening to his catalog almost exclusively after his death for many months, and as a resu...

Rocky wrote:I mean I just saw him playing with Oteil and friends at Lockn this weekend!

So did I, his last show.
Sucks so bad.
Incredible musician and very kind soul.

I'm not surprised that the guy who generally only shows up here to sell records thinks that everything is about money That's a pretty good burn, not gonna lie. Sorry I don't have an interest in something you do? I don't know what to tell you dude. Also if you think the music industry isn't driven b...

Knowing what I know about Shires and Carlile, I don't think they have a manufactured or phony bone in their bodies, and neither would allow themselves to be put into a "girl group" as a publicity stunt

Money talks.
