The Severed Cortex

Another guitar legend bites the dust. Jerry Reed often gets overlooked when people talk about guitar players but his picking style was unlike any other. Part country, part rock and roll, and 100% downright funky swamp pop. He took the Bakersfield soun… more »

I wish. I saw the Pixies in late 2004 (holy crap was it that long ago) and it was quite evident from seeing that show that as a band they won't be getting back together seriously any time soon. Joey, Frank, and David stayed on one side of the stage. K… more »

So this is the SOB that's ruined curbside check in for me. I've wondered for three solid years and now I know. Let me tell you sir, you have made traveling by air extremely difficult for me and for that I believe you owe me an apology. I'm not buying… more »

Their name is Gentleman Auction House and their full length dropped last week. The hype is already pretty big. I have to admit Book of Matches is a pretty kick ass song. It's a little bit like a watered down Modest Mouse, but I don't mean to say that… more »
