Tonight I am off to see The Avett Brothers play a small venue in Toronto called The Horseshoe Tavern. Basically two bros and a couple cats from North Carolina make up the band. They play some chill indie roots type music. Their new album 'I and Love and You' is pretty nice, it get's better as it goes on. I can only imagine it will get better with each time I play it right through. It sounds like the band has 'grown' on this album. And by grown I mean it sounds produced compared to their previous releases...in this case...it turns out to be a good thing!
So anywho, check 'em out when you are just chilling and reading...and then feel like some music. Rolling Stone Magazine called them a 'Band to watch in 2009'...not that they always know ish.
This is some Avett Bros for ya ears...

*Album Review* Monsters of Folk - Monsters of Folk
Been waiting for this album to drop for a while now. And now I've listened to it...I think it's 'brilliant'. It stars some big playas in the indie game right now: Jim James from My Morning Jacket, Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis from Bright Eyes and M. Ward.
If you don't know Conor Oberst solo material or anything from 'Bright Eyes'...get out of your seat right now...or just download the torrent...get
I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning'...sit...listen...be blown away.
At the end of the day, as good as this albums is...just stick to your day jobs folks. I think the parts are greater than the sum here...
