Josh Ritter – An Interview

Friday, May 23, 2008 By Sarah Davis

Josh Ritter is on tour again, this time stopping in small towns and quirky venues all over this great nation (and a few in Canada, if I’m not mistaken). If you are lucky enough to be attending one of these shows, I envy you, but I also encourage you to take a pen and paper, […]

Langerado 2008 – The Quotes

Friday, March 21, 2008 By Sarah Davis

It’s taken me awhile to get to posting this stuff, but I came home with over 50 pages of notes, and it took some work to get them all into a legible state.  Here are the best and the brightest, the most memorable quotes of Langerado (at least the ones that I heard).  I’ll be […]

Langerado and Trampled By Turtles

Monday, February 18, 2008 By Sarah Davis

Hi, kids. It’s been awhile, I’ve missed this! School + work = me not writing much. However, I have managed to wrangle a long weekend to attend that most hallowed of Florida music festivals, Langerado (no offense, Fest lovers). The likes of Josh Ritter, The Avett Brothers, G. Love, The Wood Brothers, Medeski Scofield Martin […]

9 Questions with Henry Rollins

Wednesday, August 22, 2007 By Sarah Davis

Art by Mitch Clem You might know Henry Rollins for any number of reasons, whether you’re a Black Flag fan, an I.F.C. movie buff, an avid political reader or someone who’s crazy about watching stand-up comedy and spoken word. Seeing as I am all of the above, it’s understandable that I was interested in interviewing […]

Marc Broussard: An Interview

Saturday, August 18, 2007 By Sarah Davis

Now, needless to say, kids, Marc Broussard is “kind of a big deal around here”, to quote Ron Burgundy. The fact that he gave us an interview is quite possibly cause for doing a stupid little dance and acting rather silly. Marc is currently on tour promoting his new album, ‘Save Our Soul’, and this […]

JJ Grey & Mofro Poster – Free To Good Home

Wednesday, March 14, 2007 By Sarah Davis

So here’s the deal, kiddies. I happen to have gotten my grubby little hands on two copies of the promo poster for the newest album from JJ Grey & Mofro, “Country Ghetto”. One went straight to my wall. The other, however, is currently homeless. I figured the best way to find a deserving person to […]

Luke Doucet – Broken (And Other Rogue States)

Tuesday, March 13, 2007 By Sarah Davis

In this album, Doucet takes the listener on a ride through the waning emotions of a relationship and into the pain of ending it, recovering, and moving on. One critic said something along the lines of, “Doucet makes a broken heart and a bottle of whiskey sound new again.” Truer words could not have been […]

Sarah’s Best Albums of 2006

Tuesday, January 23, 2007 By Sarah Davis

I know this is a little late in coming, and I apologize (I’ve been having some computer problems as of late). However, because of said problems, all earlier drafts of this post are gone for good thanks to good ol’ Word. So instead of a thoughtful, potentially insightful and possibly witty post, you get this. […]

Sarah’s Best Tracks of 2006

Thursday, December 28, 2006 By Sarah Davis

I purposely titled this one ‘best tracks’ because some of these songs have been floating around for a couple of years or longer, but have been released in the past year as live tracks or, in one case, a compilation release.  While some people might argue that they should therefore be out of the running […]
