Two doses of The Barr Brothers

They have been in a band called The Slip which I like very much. Their tunes “Honey Melon” and “Johnny’s Tune” especially. Turns out they are still creating new music and here are two of my favorites of which there are videos to accompany them. The first one is a blues romp and the second is atmospheric to start then starts into music that is perfect for driving...

Warren Miller's ....like there's no tomorrow film

Went with my Dad to see the 62th Warren Miller ski film at the Landmark Theatre in Syracuse. The film was great and I scored free lift tickets to Gore Mtn, Greek Peak and Sugarbush. Now I just need to be sure to remember to use them. (redeem here) The Landmark Theatre has recently undergone a multi-million dollar renovation. Ya couldn’t tell by walking around the public space (they need...

Mumford, son

This is from a cool set they did in a bookstore and had posted to their YouTube account “MumfordandSons” With over 2 million views I might not be the first to show this to you, but then again, it’s worth another look.

Avett Brothers cover a tune on CMT

In this clip from the Avett Brothers’ appearance for CMT Unplugged, the alt-country band perform a faithful rendition of Roger Miller’s 1969 single “Where Have All the Average People Gone?” The song may be over 40 years old, but its sentiment about feeling lost in a world where the gulf between the rich and poor becomes wider all the time is even more relevant now than...

Radiohead: singing and dancing

Yeah, Radiohead has gotten crafty again in the way they promote and distribute their album. The lead single, Lotus Flower, has Thom dancing and hand clapping by himself…well, him and his hat. I also learned of live show they did in Prague where the audience members recorded it. The first tune from the show was 15 Steps. Speaking of which, if you haven’t seen the audience shot...

Upstate NY winery: Red Tail Ridge

Last weekend I went with Renee and my Gram to a wine tasting at the Savvy Wine Cellar in Camillus, NY. One of the wines was from a relatively new, forward thinking winery called Red Tail Ridge. The video above talks about the winery. We picked up a bottle of their Good Karma wine (review) which a portion of proceeds go to Foodlink. Foodlink’s mission statement is to build a...

Maybe your home is The Cave

This is Mumford & Sons cool official video (above), for their tune, The Cave, then them playing the Grammy’s this year. Then the Avett’s play (also worth watching), before Bob Dylan comes out to sing Maggie’s Farm. I like the original, but you can press “stop” on the YouTube video player once you see him step stage.

Proud member of the Polish Home

A few months back I joined the Syracuse Polish Home. It’s a few blocks from my house and is right down the street from my grandparents first house they owed upon moving to the United States. Today in the mail I received the 2010 December issue of the Polish Home newsletter. The president of the Polish Home starts the newsletter thanking people to who donate time and money in keeping the...

Party at Ferris

Last night Amy and Mike hosted a party at their new place on Ferris. Cool house built before the turn of the century, and Mike was spinning some jazz/ reggae stuff that even Tommy the Turtle could dance to. I haven’t got any photos to share, but I have this to bridge the gap. Thank Ferris.

Music interviews by a guy who knows music,...

The singer from Blink182 has a music based talked show on Fuse.tv. I don’t have Fuse or a TV so it’s up to what I find online that fills my time (aside from other recreational activities). There are really good videos from Travie (from Gym Class Heroes), John Mayer being hyper aware of himself, and my personal favorite interview, Thomas Mars from the band Phoenix. See above. ...
