John Mayer Came To Louisville...A Concert Review
I'm by no means a concert expert. I don't attend a lot of them and when I go, it's for good reason...Like the Police playing at Churchill Downs. That was a concert for the ages. So last night I went to the John Mayer concert. My best friend is his

Notes from the Unemployment Office.
This morning, I accompanied my best friend to the unemployment office. You know me ... always up for an adventure. It's weird to think, but now half of my musician friends had to go and get jobs, and half of my full-time career friends are now unemployed. My morning walking

Road trip preparation... a ridiculous rental car
About 10 days ago, someone ran into Friend-with-a-truck's truck, rendering it undrivable. Heretofore he will be known as Friend-without-a-Truck, or perhaps Friend-with-a-Ridiculous-Rental-Car. (For the Mojo-readers who are new to my blog, you should know I give monikers to all my friends ... origina

SXSW & How to handle relatives who think vegetarians are creepy
I had intended to come to you live from South by Southwest (SXSW or SouthBy, as the regulars call it). I attended this enormous music conference for several years in a row now, sometimes playing a showcase, mostly just lolling around eating tacos and making friends. Last year I didn't

Haiti Benefit at the Monkey Wrench tonight, Johnny Berry, more
I hear a lot of songs and poems written by teenagers, and the most common words in such songs are “I” and “me.” It's not reprehensible; it's just that most teenagers are wrapped up in their own dramas. That's why it's extra-cool to see high school students doing something that

ARDOR, an awesome metal band
Who says myspace is dead? If it wasn't for myspace I might not have heard about a smokin' sound that caters to my need to scream, jump, rock, and sing along all at once. Now, I'm not a super fan of scream metal but a lot of people are. I

Review of Cold at Phoenix Hill Tavern, 2/25/2010
You probably already know that I'm not talking about the reason you buy Nyquil or Theraflu when I mention Cold. These are the guys with numerous hits including one of my favorite songs ever, Just Got Wicked. Actually, they just got wicked Thursday night when they headlined an intense show

Review for Nonpoint at Phoenix Hill Tavern, 2/25/2010
It's hard to believe that I would one day meet one of the most adrenalized group of hard rockers that exist but, truth be told, I did and it rocked! As if you needed an introduction to stage thrashers, Nonpoint, this group has it all and Phoenix Hill Tavern was

Songwriters Nashville-style Tonight at the Vernon Club
"Country" is a loose term in today's music. For a lot of people, it represents annoying over auto-tuned and over-produced twang music found on radio stations with lots of commercials. I call that pop-country, and it's not my favorite type of music. Admittedly, however, behind those pop songs can oft
