Riggins, Ritter, & Ringle

The Seattle Music Weekly posted a write-up on Moscow and it’s musicians.
“Even when I’m here in New York, the city is compressed down into a little village, a Moscow-sized place with the places I go and the people I know,” Ritter says. “Maybe there is something in the water there. It’s probably better than whatever’s in the water here.”

The Stones: Ventilator Blues
Filed Under Awesome Music, Updates | Leave a Comment
Exile on Main Street was released in remastered form yesterday. There’s a song on it called Ventilator Blues, which by the three-second mark is already one of the raunchiest, sleaziest, scariest things I’ve ever heard. One of Keith’s most visceral, physical, venal riffs.
No one does hedonism like the Stones, and no one gets at the sheer exhaustion and the come-down like them, either. It’s a pointless way to live. But what a song. What a song.
brendan o’donnell could generally care less about non-American music. he makes occasional exceptions.

Any of you Moscow music fans remember a band called Postal Joe? The power pop trio ransacked the Palouse back in the days when John’s Alley sported a tiny corner stage and a ceiling about seven feet high. (They played the hottest cover of the Tiffany hit “I Think We’re Alone Now” I’ve ever heard.) Drummer Mike Last, who also helped out on vocals, was Postal Joe’s catalyst, ranking somewhere just below the Band’s Levon Helm and the Eagles’ Don Henley on the list of coolest singing drummers of all time. Unknown to many, he was (and is) also a heck of a writer, songwriter and poet. Now, after years of drumming for a bunch of Northwest and Chicago-area bands, Mike has stepped to the front of the stage. As lead singer and principle songwriter of the Eugene, Oregon folk rock three-piece the Stagger and Sway, his natural charisma and dusty poetics are unmistakably the main attraction. The Stagger and Sway will share the (now much larger) John’s Alley stage this Saturday with fellow Eugeners John Shipe, Patrick Kavaney and the Last Drags.

UPDATE: The Stagger and Sway will instead be joined by Dan Jones and the Golden Motors. John Shipe, Patrick Kavaney and the Last Drags have canceled.

As a fan of Bay area hip hop/popsters WHY?’s breakthrough album Aloepecia, it would seem natural that the follow-up, 2009′s Eskimo Snow, would constitute an immediate purchase. Reports of the album not having the hip hop flavor of its predecessor detracted, though fans need not mourn, but rejoice. I’m certainly sorry I waited. Read more

So Runs the World Away

Josh Ritter – Change of Time
So Runs the World Away: Josh Ritter is living up to the promise that Paste Magazine made by naming him one of the top living song writers. This time the customary combination of deep matter, love, and imaginative historical fiction from Ritter’s heartrendingly genuine pen are shored up by a surprising depth. The songs hold some beautiful lines that catch themselves in the branches of your mind. The melodies, however, really carry us away. Read more

Accompanying the higher-quality stream is a pretty fine article by one Nicholas Dawidoff, who follows the tumult the band goes through in Read more
