Dirty Three

I like Warren Ellis. He happens to be a part of the Dirty Three. This song is on their upcoming album. Should be good. Give it a shot. Please.

The Archers Apple & Kickstarter

I met Seth Hanks through my friends Brooklyn, Anna, and Kate a couple years ago and have been a fan of his bands music for some time now. I was lucky to see them play live a couple months ago when I was passing through Utah and let me tell you, they put on a fun show. I really dig their sound. Feel free to help yet another friend's band on kickstarter. I really like what they are doing. Click here for their FB page.

M+A

 M+A 'Liko Lene Lisa' by Monotreme Records
I just purchased M+A's new album called "Things.Yes" and I must say I'm quite impressed. If this video is a bit different for you at the start feel free to just hold tight and continue with it. The song builds upon itself. Click here for more info.

Baby Ghosts

My dear friend Karly is in a band with a really cool name. I know, I know, it sounds like a Halloween band but I can promise you their not seasonal. It just happens to be Halloween time and her band name is Baby Ghosts. My friend Phil is in the band too. I like it when my friends make music. I really respect the various projects and the eclectic mix of styles and influences in their music. Click on their Kickstarter page and help them make their album a reality. Muchas Gracias.

Ryan Adams- Lucky Now
Ryan Adams - Lucky Now by theaudioperv
I'm eagerly awaiting this album to come out. It has been a while since he has released anything without the Cardinals and I tend to like his music a bit more without them. This is a good Jam. Click here for a neat video of it live.

WILCO- Dawned On Me

A new song from a new album dropping soon. I enjoy it. I would be a bit bothered to have people wearing bright colors snapping pictures of my as I play an instrument and sing but Jeff Tweedy handles it well.

New Villager
New Villager- ShotBigHorixon

New Villager- RichDoors

These guys have been on my radar for a bit now. I'm glad they have a full length album about to come out in the next couple months. I'm not a fan of their videos but I like their music. Check it.

Bon Iver- Calgary

Bon Iver Sunrise Show at Hollywood Forever Cemetery
Bon Iver - Calgary by Some Kind of Awesome
I first saw Bon Iver play in August of 2008. I went with a friend who happened to be visiting Los Angeles the same time I was there visiting some friends on my way back to Hawaii after a little mainland visit. The show was great for several reasons. They played at my favorite venue (The Troubadour. It happened to be my go to venue in my high school days) which you have to drive by the Los Angeles Temple on Santa Monica Boulevard on you way to get there (it's always nice to pass that building), A.A. Bondy happened to open for them, it was great to just be in Southern California again, and to top it all off at that time I was pretty stoked on the gal I was with. I had wanted to see Bon Iver play for about six months before it all came together that late summer day so it was great I was able to work it into the itinerary of my trip.

The fact that Justin Vernon got together with a boat load of his friends to create his latest record which comes out in June makes me even more excited for its release. All his collaborations since "For Emma, Forever Ago" have been top notch.

As I mentioned in my last Bon Iver post, the fact there is a song called Calgary is pretty neat but all of a sudden it's his first single... so that's rad. Calgarians have to be pretty stoked on that.

Hopefully I'll get to see them play live soon. I hear he is bringing all his collaborators from the record on tour with him to better duplicate the sound. Go here for some preorder jazz.

I know I sound sorta like a super-fan and that's okay because I really enjoy this music. When I came across it for the first time it was a breath of fresh air. I know a lot of other people have had that same experience. If somehow you are not familiar with Bon Iver I suggest you get on it and delve into the music. It has never gotten old. It's been really neat to see Justin Vernon's career take off over the past couple years. The guy is going to be known as one of the great songwriters of our time. No joke.

Picture credit can be found by clicking on the pictures. The second pic is of the sunrise concert he played at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery a couple years back. I would have loved to have gone to that show. I heard it was unreal.

Chris Bathgate
Chris Bathgate, The Ark, 4/4/11


Chris Bathgate just released a new album and it's a good one. Here is another little video you should check out. His website is neat too. Give it a go. The tiny little song player above has songs from an older album I enjoy. Check out the song Yes I'm Cold. It's a good one.

Bon Iver Pt. 1

I'm going to just post this little snippet of a song and say a few things, then create another completely separate post backing up in time and telling you about a musician that was able to perfectly craft an album that has transcended genres, time, and musical creativity. (in my opinion)


Justin Vernon aka Bon Iver is releasing a new album June 21st. Since coming across his music in the winter of 2008 I have been waiting for another full length. It's now just around the corner. This little clip will most likely annoy you because it ends so quickly after grabbing your attention with its simple tone and hollow vocals and building snare drum. Here is the Tracklist:

1. Perth
2. Minnesota, WI
3. Holocene
4. Towers
5. Michicant
6. Hinnom, TX
7. Wash.
8. Calgary
9. Lisbon, OH
10. Beth/Rest

P.S. I'm stoked there is a song called Calgary (having been born in Alberta Canada I tend to stick up for the rolling plains of Wild Rose Country)

Fleet Foxes- Grown Ocean

Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues by subpop
They release their new album May 3rd. I'm pumped. It is a great record... you're gonna want to get it. Here is a little video they just released getting us pumped for their latest debut. The record is called Helplessness Blues and every song I have heard is great and dynamic and just what you want for a Fleet Foxes song.
