Podcast #061 | Hippie Workout Mix, Vol. 2

photo by headylife A while back, I put together a little workout mix of some high-energy improv by the Disco Biscuits and added a tongue-in-cheek name just to have some fun. Although we knew it was a decent mix, Justin and I have been surprised at the warm reception we’ve gotten from it. As a [...]

Podcast #060 | Animal Collective

Podcasts

Even though it’s been quite a while since we’ve done a podcast here for the site, I really don’t feel any deep need to explain why we’ve been so silent in this category. The only thing I’m really compelled to add is that you can expect a lot more podcasts from us in the very [...]

Podcast #59 | Hippie Workout Mix, Vol. 1

Podcasts

photo by Karmalize As we’re getting closer to the Spring season, I am trying to focus on getting back in better shape for soccer season. As a result, I’ve been piecing together some tracks from the archives, specifically creating mixes geared towards my workouts. I know I’m not the only one who listens to a [...]

Podcast #058 – KVHW ‘Down in the Wetlands’

Podcasts

For our 58th podcast, I’ve pieced together some highlights from two nights of KVHW at the Wetlands, which basically was the unofficial ‘jamband HQ’ in New York City until its closing last year. These two nights capture KVHW at its peak as a fresh, energetic, and exploratory improvisational rock band made up of amazing musicians.

Podcast #057 | Brothers Past’s Chicago Dance Party

Podcasts

Last weekend I caught Brothers Past at the Beat Kitchen here in Chicago as part of the Green Apple Music Festival. Although I already posted a cursory review of the show, I thought I’d throw together a few highlights to offer a little taste of BP in the process of re-discovering their mojo.

Podcast #056 – Bisco in Dub

Podcasts

photo by WHITperson For our 56th podcast, I went with another thematic mix, but this time with an old stand-by: the Disco Biscuits. I’ve always been big fan of the Biscuits’ “dub” style of improvisation. While their take on Dub isn’t really the real-deal, classic style of Dub Reggae (by the likes of King Tubby [...]

Podcast #054 – The Best of the Bays

Podcasts

Last week, I wrote a little round-up of some of the key bands that play some form of live, electronic dance music. But I realized that I neglected to mention a band that I really should have discussed: The Bays While the Bays definitely share similarities with bands like STS9, Lotus, and the New Deal, [...]

Podcast #053 – New Slide Guitar ‘Masters’

Podcasts

For my second podcast, I decided to go with a slide guitar theme, piecing together a few live tracks featuring some of my favorite players of fretless slide guitars like the lap steel, Weissenborn, and straight-up 6-string electric guitar.

Podcast #052 – When Indie Bands Kick Out the Jams

Podcasts

Show notes: Here at LMB we’re obviously open to a band stretching a song beyond its normal studio length or otherwise changing it for the live setting…that’s, in fact, one of the main reasons people dig live music. (Okay, duh, you can send my regards to Captain Obvious) But while a band such as Phish [...]
