Pure Power Pop

Olympic Records act, the Da Vincis, make exactly the music teenage boys should make. Their loose, jazzy pop songs possess a purity free from the baggage that comes with age and experience and strategic… read more »

[Rob In Stereo] Spirit of ‘94

New-age punk rock, for better or for worse, can be tied to 1994. It was during this year that the genre re-emerged from music’s doldrums and experienced a renaissance. read more »

Fresh and Easy

by Katie Eubanks
June 24, 2009

Daniel Guaqueta, tall and dark-headed with a half-grown mustache and goatee, is sitting in the control room at the WLEZ radio station and unwrapping a CD as quickly as he can. “I am so not ready for this show,” he… 2 read more »

Jubilee Jam - Saturday highlights: Joan Jett and More

Saturday's festivities were even hotter than Friday, if that's at all possible. When I headed over around 3 pm, it was already much later than I'd anticipated as I was avoiding the heat and grimaced at the Walgreens marquee declaring 99 degrees. Thankfully, the Jam folks installed two large misting… 4 read more »

Jubilee Jam - Friday Highlights

The first day of Jubilee! Jam 2009 was sincerely hot and sticky with temps hovering in the high 90s til way after dark. Still, a sweat soaked crowd turned out to hear great music, big and small names alike. The best of the night, I believe, came straight off of… 2 read more »

Artists To Watch

Not only are there incredible musicians and performers coming to Jubilee Jam, there are some up and coming artists that are quite making a scene. Here are some that you may (and may not) know. read more »

Archie’s Cigar Box Blues

For three years, Archie Storey had been on a steady diet of Mississippi blues and was looking for a way into the music. The longtime BeBop Records employee listened to the blues constantly and attended festivals around the state, but he wanted to play an active part in the Mississippi blues scene. read more »

[Herman’s Picks] Vol 7., No. 39 (Fearless Edition!)

We are edging closer to the middle of the summer, which means the sultry sun is taking its toll on our sizzling skin. Outdoor music festivals and backyard barbecue jams are in full swing and perhaps some of us are basking in the glow of summer-loving. read more »

‘Something Heavier’

Joy Garretson was doing laundry when she had an epiphany. While walking down her stairs to wash clothes, she said playfully to her husband Gordon that she was going to put her bundle of laundry on the delicate cycle. Then it struck her. read more »

[Herman’s Picks] Vol.7, No. 37

It’s not hard to find musical options for a variety of tastes this weekend. read more »

Rock ‘n’ Roll’s Twangy Cousin

It’s a little strange to peruse the music listings each week and not see Goodman County playing somewhere. For the last several years, the band has been as integral to Jackson as Stamps burgers and George Street Grocery. read more »

You Broke My Libido

“Mechanical Failure” from local favorites ¡Los Buddies! features scratchy guitar and angsty vocals that lend themselves well to the upbeat, fun, rock sound of the six-track album. read more »

Otherworldly Wonder

A small band of musicians huddled in the soft light at center stage in an otherwise dark and silent theater. Armed with their instruments, they seemed to alternately combat and submit to the darkness surrounding them and musician Lloyd Bourne’s shifting melodies. read more »
