Concert Review: Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe
Tue Nov 3, 2009
Taking the stage dressed up as various versions of Michael Jackson, and careening through a raucous show featuring copious covers from the King of Pop’s legendary back catalogue, the reunited (and it felt so good) Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe whipped a largely costumed crowd into a frenzy on a rainy Halloween night in New York City.
With the parties raging all over town, and the Yankees in the World Series, the intimate Bowery Ballroom still felt like the place to be as jazzman extraordinaire Karl Denson led his band through a Jackson tribute that also featured songs off his own latest album, Brother’s Keeper. He’ll be on the road till the end of the year, so don’t miss out!
This bit of YouTube magic should hold you over in the meantime:

Activism, Athletics and Agriculture at the 2009 NORML Conference
Mon Sep 28, 2009
September 24-26, San Francisco, CA -- Many, many marijuana activists left their hearts in San Francisco this weekend, especially those of us destined to return to states decidedly less free and rational than California when it comes to cannabis. After three days of inspiring speeches and informative panels, followed by three nights of epic merrymaking, the highly optimistic attendees at this year’s annual national NORML Convention will hopefully head home with a firm resolve to work hard and continue the amazing momentum of the marijuana movement this year.
With legalization all over the news, and the economy driving a serious debate about the benefits of “green jobs” and increased tax revenue, many notable speakers identified this moment as a potential “tipping point,” including PBS travel host Rick Steves, Marijuana Reconsidered author and Harvard professor Lester Grinspoon, and, fittingly, Tom Ammiano …READ MORE

FESTIVAL REVIEW: Fifth Annual Mountain Jam - Hunter Mountain, NY
Wed Jun 3, 2009
By Lewis Schoner
As a distinct haze drifted up through the mountains in Hunter, New York, the Mountain Jam masses scuttled to set up camp and make their journey to one of the three stages that would run nearly non-stop for the next three days. Headlining the fifth annual Mountain Jam were festival veterans The Allman Brothers Band, Gov’t Mule, and Woodstock veteran Richie Havens - amply supported by hand selected acts including Michael Franti & Spearhead, Umphrey’s McGee, BK3 featuring Bill Kreutzmann, The Brew, and Tea Leaf Green, many of them veterans of Mountain Jam impresario Warren Haynes’ annual experiment in musical cross-pollination.
Throughout the festival, each band contributed a distinctive style and energy to the always electric festival, which has quite a reputation to live up to. In 2008, Mountain Jam was named one of the top eight music festivals in the country by Rolling Stone. Judging by the crowd …READ MOREtags: 6 « add a comment

CONCERT REVIEW: Hill Country Revue @ City Winery, NYC
Wed May 27, 2009
Last night, Hill Country Revue brought the sights and sounds of a Northern Mississippi juke joint into the far more rarified air of City Winery, an upscale wine bar and bistro in lower Manhattan. Adding to the note of culture shock in the air, the bluesy, expansive, heavily tattooed rockers of HCR seasoned their sound with washboard, harmonica, and other countrified reflections of their distinctly regional style.
A spin-off of the North Mississippi All-Stars to hold folks over while Luther Dickinson plies his trade with the Black Crowes, HCR arrives with its own, fully realized debut album, Make a Move, and a summer of touring that includes the Rothbury Music Festival, the All Good Music Festival, and dates in support of the Dave Mathews Band.
Opening the evening with an extended harmonica solo, lead singer Daniel Coburn eased the crowd into the blues incrementally, slowly building a foot-stomping set that included most of the …READ MORE

CONCERT REVIEW: Marc Ribot – Le Poisson Rouge, New York City – May 15th, 2009
Mon May 18, 2009
Most people who play the guitar as well as Marc Ribot end up doing so in large theaters or giant stadiums. Indeed, Ribot has lent his virtuosic talents to albums by some of the best known and most respected names in the music world, including Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Medeski, Martin and Wood, The Black Keys, and countless others. But when it comes to his own highly eccentric career path, Ribot prefers to keep it low key. Exploring genres ranging from experimental jazz to Cuban rhythm and hardcore punk, Ribot never sits still long enough for the public to catch up.
To celebrate his 55th birthday, Ribot, a longtime staple of New York’s downtown music scene, presented a week long, multiple venue retrospective of his life’s work, in his adopted city reconvening old bands and premiering new material. The extended birthday celebration ended with two nights at Greenwich Village’s Le Poisson Rouge, with each night featuring multiple musical incarnations. …READ MOREtags: 1 « add a comment

Thu May 14, 2009
President Obama’s new Drug Czar, freshly in office following his 90-1 approval by the US Senate, has officially called for an end to the War on Drugs, at least rhetorically.
"Regardless of how you try to explain to people it's a 'war on drugs' or a 'war on a product,' people see a war as a war on them," Kerlikowske told the Wall Street Journal on Thursday. "We're not at war with people in this country."
Kerlikowske, who previously served as Chief of Police in Seattle, strongly favors a “public health” approach to illegal drug use, as opposed to a “criminal justice” approach, including support for medical marijuana, needle exchange programs, equivalent sentencing for cocaine and crack, and treatment over incarceration. He says he has not yet focused on the Drug War’s effect overseas.
As Drug Czar …READ MOREtags: 89 « add a comment

CONCERT REVIEW: Jill Sobule – Joe’s Pub, NYC April 14, 2009
Thu Apr 16, 2009
Singer songwriters don’t come much wittier than Jill Sobule, best known for her Sapphic inspired hit “I Kissed a Girl,” which “came out” long before some lesser talent struck gold with a different song of the same name. Now Sobule’s back with a new album, California Years, which she actually got fans to cough up for in advance.
Donating between $10 (free download) and $10,000 (sing on the album), fans put $75,000 of their money where Jill’s mouth is, and then made her sing out of it. At Joe’s Pub, in front of a friendly crowd packed with her own investors, she debuted work from the new album, opening with “Nothing to Prove,” a comment on her own staying power. She also offered fan favorites, honoring requests for “Jet Pack” and “Good Life.”
Throughout the night, Sobule found able backing from New York based jazz combo Sex Mob, including on “Bobbie …READ MOREtags: 0 « add a comment
