Mayer’s Playlist for Summer 2023

Wednesday, July 12, 2023 By Mayer Danzig

Tumbleweed, Jeremie Albino (from the Good People Record Co. release Tears You Hide) While Jeremie Albino may tease with 30 seconds of old-time pickin’ on album opener “Dance With Me”, he very quickly brings out the good time – and rowdy – fun that defines Tears You Hide.  “Angeline”, the first full track, finds the […]

Deer Tick – Vol. 1 and Vol. 2

Thursday, September 14, 2017 By Chip Frazier

It takes a bit of bravado to release two albums simultaneously. Most bands work hard to put 10 – 12 well-crafted songs together every few years. It is not uncommon to see “B-side” albums come out shortly after a release, but for the most part they are only collections of songs and not a cohesive […]

Mayer's Playlist for May/June 2013, Part 1

Wednesday, June 26, 2013 By Mayer Danzig

ALBUMS OF THE MONTH The Low Highway, by Steve Earle The burden of Steve Earle’s legacy is mighty awesome. Since he emerged in the mid-1980’s he has established — and maintained — an incredible standard with his songwriting. His latest release continues the trend. Earle passed through Boston recently and talked about how this album […]

SXSW 2011: The Scene, Part 1

Tuesday, March 29, 2011 By Mayer Danzig

For me, the true harbinger of spring is the arrival of the SXSW Music and Media Conference in Austin, Texas. Or rather, spring begins for me when I arrive in Austin for SXSW. With upwards of 2,000 bands and 13,000 attendees, SXSW is the world’s premiere music conference. Even better, it is one heck of […]

Kelly’s Top 25 for 2009

Wednesday, December 23, 2009 By Kelly Dearmore

In year’s past, I haven’t done much a personal “Best-Of” list at year’s end. I have left that up to others, mainly due to the stress level inherent with such a task. This year, I contributed a list to multiple outlets, so I figure I would share my ballot with you here. What you see […]
