ryan bingham — junky star
Ryan Bingham & the Dead Horses — Junky Star. Out 8/31, Lost Highway Records. I walked out of a Ryan Bingham set once. I’m not proud; I just want y’all to have all the facts. Two and a half years ago, he played the Local 506, American Aquarium opened, and I won free tickets to…
baseball: tides @ bulls, september ’10
Forty one. Final game of the regular season. The Bulls go on to the International League playoffs and the Tides go home for the year, but at least they made it interesting; today’s game went 12 innings. The Bulls won, 6-5. Above, bottom: Zach (left) and Buck (right) Britton are brothers. Zach, younger by 18…

Two sentence reviews of new albums I listened to in August. Behind the jump: Lost in the Trees, Arcade Fire, The Goodnight Loving, Frontier Ruckus, Dax Riggs, the Dead Brothers. Griffin House — The Learner: House’s follow-up to 2008’s stellar Flying Upside Down is a bit of a let-down; he starts and finishes strong, but…
so i remember ev’ry face
There’s a great story in Across The Great Divide, about how the Band hooked up with photographer Elliott Landy. They didn’t want the best photographer — they asked around, looking for the worst photographer, because “best” wasn’t necessarily what they needed at the time, and someone said, “Well, I don’t know if this guy is…
