Mason Jennings
In The Ever
Brushfire (2008)

Bob Dylan + Tom Petty + Jack Johnson’s Record Label = Mason Jennings

As usual, I will give the Fresno Undercurrent more of the exclusive than other area community media sites:

I'm not sure if the Bakersfield Californian newspaper is going to slam my documentary, "The Last Band," but they're launching an article on Thursday that includes a discussion of the film.

The half-hour ABC documentary discusses some of the attitudes about history, music and cultural reverence for Buck Owens former recording studio where Korn recorded their first album and country greats like Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash and Buck Owens once recorded...

so, i've posted a little review of the undercurrent show @ my blog. it's light on review, heavy on pictures and video from the event.

Dancer, Miss Hmong New Year 2005—JBG’s A
One Man Bachelor Party

I’m always surprised by the myriad talent here in Fresno, and James Brittain Gore highlights this feeling tenfold. Gore’s (not Al’s son by the way, I asked) self titled album is an organic folk piece orchestrated by…well…James Brittain Gore. He plays everything on the album: guitar, harmonica, keys, drums, vocals, tambourine, spoons, forks, etc.

Talking Shop: Weezer's Rivers Cuomo
Rivers Cuomo has enjoyed massive success as lead singer and principal songwriter of rock band Weezer, selling more than 10 million records in the US.

Cuomo says recording demos is "the most exciting adventure"

UK hits for the 37-year-old's band include Buddy Holly and Beverley Hills.

Cuomo's new solo album, Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo, contains a selection of the hundreds of demos he has recorded between 1992 and 2007.
