What are you listening to?

I got tickets too! Pretty excited. Seen the Avett Brothers 5 or 6 times. The only band that I have seen that does a better live show is The Decemberists. Just flew up to Portland to see them last week.

The same day we got Avett Brothers tickets, we also got tickets to see Danny Elfman Perfroms the Music of Tim Burton at the Honda Center. Saw it last year. It was pretty amazing. Taking my 7 year old this year. he will either dress up as Beetlejuice or Edward Scissor Hands.

That's so cool.  I've been an Avett Brothers fan since way before I and Love and You.  They used to come up here (back end of nowhere) and play shows, but they're way too big for that now.  

 

They're amazing.  I love bluegrass and hope they don't stray too far from it going forward.  

 

I also love Danny Elfman.  I soooo wish I could've seen Oingo Boingo live just once.

I went to a couple of the Boingo Halloween shows when I was a kid. I was probably the only one there not on acid.

That is when I learned girls used shy teens to see concerts for free.

You should check out a band called Black Prairie. It is 4/5 of the Decemberists, but with a female singer. They have a lot of old time and bluegrass influence in their first couple of albums. A little more folky in the new one.

That will be a great show. I'm gonna check it out. 

i saw Dawes at the Troubadour in December at the Mike Campbell merry minstrel show. they also backed up Jackson Browne, who was the highlight of the night. cool band.

Neither new nor just discovered, but one of my favorite songs to run to:

I'm not much of a Decemberists fan but that Black Prairie band you described sounds great. I'm gonna go check them out.

Great googly moody, this is good stuff:

Dude this guy is great. I dig this but not much into that other Dawes song posted.

 

So it's a group or does the singer just do solo work also?

Here is one of their instrumentals

 

  

 

Here is the video for their new single

 

 

 

and finally one of their more moody songs

 

 

 

The lead singer/fiddle player has pretty much reached the top of my "freebie" list and my wife is cool with it.

[TobiasFunke]

Their gypsy jam in the front song ruled and so did the guys Woody shirt. Second song I wasn't into at all, the song could grow on me. I'll still check them out for sure.

I never really got into them back in the day, but I def knew who Duane Peters was since he was a pro skater.

Turns out he can music pretty good too.

The drop. Good gracious. Don't play if a bass drop will blow your speakers.

I've been really into Richard Marx lately

[cez]

Vienna Teng's "Hymn of Acxiom." Reminds me a little of what Imogen Heap did with "Hide and Seek."  

 

[Ray McKigney]

I've been really into Richard Marx lately for the last 25 years.

 

Fixed.

I've been really into Richard Marx lately

 

if you follow me on twitter, you would know that I rated him as the most unheralded and forgotten singer/songwriter of generation Y.  

[cez]

Not a fan of Marx's voice, but he's a good writer.  Similar to Dolly Parton in that regard for me.  

[Jobu]

New Rx Bandits album is pretty much the best thing I've heard in a long time.

Bump.  I'm trying to update my music before I go on a bit of a trip.  Any suggestions?

[Adam]

[Glen]

Been listening to these guys a lot lately.  I guess I'd call it ambient metal.

 

[Chuck]

Bump for Ocho!
