The Tripwires-House to House . There's something about hearing this Seattle band's fun-loving, good-time power pop that brings a smile to my face when I hear one of their tracks. Following up their 2007 debut Makes You Look Around, The Tripwires (consisting of members and former members of The Model Rockets, The Minus 5, and Screaming Trees among others) assert themselves as the 21st Century Rockpile....

You knew Cool Nutz wouldn’t step away from the game for long. Sure, he’s been working in radio and promotions a lot as of late and keeping a relatively low profile with his own music, but the longtime Portland MC often strikes without warning. Luckily, we got a little heads-up from him today. Turns out that [...] Related posts: Mic Check: Nick Lowe Also see How Much Would You Pay for the...

KURT VONNEGUT : A granfalloon is a proud and meaningless association of human beings. I have not for decades felt the need to cite a quotation from the master of making the whimsical seem profound; not at least since the day long ago when I made the adolescent-switch away from airplane glue to pleasures more organic. Now, having made the adult-change-of-life-switch in drug of choice from alcohol to...

Both have made solo albums and albums by committee (Rockpile & Raconteurs) 3. Both have a few songs with very dark lyrics (eg Sittin' Pretty & Marie Provost) The only irony seems to me that Nick Lowe...
